(I wasn't "hung-over" & I don't do drugs-what may have caused this? I barely was able to call in sick at work.

Just had major surgery cancelled at the very last minute, because my surgeon could not find enough staff. Went into the Royal Free yesterday, nothing to eat after 6am today, nothing to drink after 11, I am sitting there in my surgical gown, elastic stockings, waiting. Eventually the surgeon came at 1.30 and said she was sorry, nearly everyone had called in sick and she could not get a good enough team together to do my op. She said she would not be happy with fewer than 3 skilled assistants, (It's a long and complex op.) and she had phoned around various hospitals, but did not want to do a job like this with people she'd not worked with before.

She was really decent and sympathetic, and I respect her reasoning. Instead she spent the afternoon doing smaller ops with a smaller team. She has promised me January 7th. I'm grateful she was honest enough not to proceed and to explain why. But can the entire womens' surgical team (apart from one) really all fall sick on the same day?

I need a circumsicion and they've told me it will cost around $8.000-10.000, just because my co-pay is sky-high.
How could they take advantage of poor people in need????

I've had sleep problems on and off since I was a teenager, and I'm in the middle of one right now. I lost my job about a month ago (it had nothing to do with me, the position was eliminated, but I was still really upset about it) and at first all I wanted to do was sleep. I'm a night person, but I was going to bed between 8 and 9 pm every night and waking up by 8am every morning for the first couple of weeks. Anyone who knows me knows that is very strange. But now I just can't sleep. I go to bed but just wind up laying there for 2 or so hours before I finally fall asleep, then sleep through the day. Any suggestions how I can get back to a somewhat normal sleep pattern?

looking for something along the lines of maalox milk of magnesia, viscous lidocaine 2% and phenobarbital used in the treatment of peptic ulcers.

I'm looking for the correct balance of maalox to lidocaine minus the phenobarbital, for safe consumption.

For months now, I have noticed my eyes are blood shot when I wake up. I don't wear contacts and no, I am not partying either.

I also have been experiencing episodes of intense heat that instantly radiates from my mid back and a little from my thyroid area too. I get these sometimes several times a day and at night.

I usually get to bed around 11-12 and wake up at around 5:45-6. I feel fine but then on the weekends I feel the need to catch up and sometimes I wake up with a throbbing headache.
Why is that?
Thanks!

For about 4 days now I've been having this discomfort on my right side. It feels tight and ridgid compared to my left, and maybe a bit bloated. Although occassionally I do get sharp pains it's mostly just discomfort. It almost feels numb. It starts just below my rib cage and continues to my waist. Sometimes it does radiate to my back. It comes and goes but I feel it most when I'm sitting or lying down. Sometimes I get little spasmy feelings in the region. I have had no other symptoms. No area discoloration, no change in stool or urine, no constipation, no irregular temp, haven't felt nauseous or dizzy. If I had any of these other symptoms I would go straight in, so I'm at a loss.
Please Help!!

I have an 18 hour flight to China in about 4 days and I wanted to sleep on the plane to pass the time and help with jet lag. I have a hard time getting to sleep on planes; so I was wondering what a good over the counter sleep aid would be? I've taken DIphenhydramine HCL, and it hasn't seemed to really work at all. Thanks!

I got my new insurance card in the mail today. On it, it has a list of what my co-pays are for different services. Office Service, Emergengy Room, Inpatient, etc. In the same list it mentions RX Formulary ($8/$15) and RX Non-Formulary ($25/$25). What does this mean? Is the price difference between generic and name brand? Is one better than the other?
