I am asking these questions on behalf of my 75 year old Mother, who recently had an ischemic stroke in April and from the affects of the stroke my mother is no longer able to blink only from her (R) eye. Her eye seems to be painful and is receiving eye drops to help with dry eye.

She was seen by an optometrist in the fall and was informed that she has a cataract in that same eye (R).

She suffers with daily blurred vision and is fearful that she will lose her eyesight if she watches television, only because it seems to bother her.

If there is away that you could put her mind at ease and reassure her that this would not happen I feel that she would perhaps be more settling.

Can you suggest something for her in away of comfort and let us know if it would be essential to cover her eye with a patch?

My mother is a resident in a nursing home since her stroke and perhaps there is more they can do for her.

Sincerely,
Rose

It is behind, above, and in between my eyes, and sometimes goes to the middle of my nose. I get it for long periods of time, and no medicine I have tried has helped. I will get rid of it for a few hours, then it comes back. I will have it for a few days at a time, get rid of it, and then it comes back again. It's driving me crazy!! Please help!!

I'm 13 years old,every time I set my alarm and it rings in the morning, I always turn it off then go continue my sleep. And when I wake up I always have to rush. Is there any techniques I can use to make me wake up right away without feeling sleepy. Like what time should I wake up and sleep, what time the alarm should go on, etc.

I would like to go to medical school and be a doctor because I would like to help others, and after many doctors having a large impact on my life I would really like to, but I have a chronic pain disability which is often times diabilitating so I don't know if medical school is possible for me. I'm currently a sophomore in high school. Any suggestions of what I could do to make it through medical school or alternatives that would still give me the same satisfaction of helping people (I would like to work with people that have the same or similar conditions to me)? I have a neurlogical condition which causes my pain.

This afternoon I found an object that looks like a spark plug and a small pair of scissors in my daughter's room. I also found a pair of scissors that have long points on them. The spark plug thing looks like it has tobacco or something in it. Is my daughter smoking pot? I guess that explains why she doesn't have a job.

My hamstring has been hurting me for months now, I can't squat or backpedal without a slight pain. I need to know what to do in this situation. It's probably to late to use the RICE method, so any help will be greatly appreciated. Our football season is over, so I have time. "Westgate Football, New Iberia, Louisiana"

We've tried soaking the foot in Epsom salt to take out the soreness, but it's been three weeks, and he's still complaining about the pain! It hurts to keep to leg elevated, and when sitting for long periods of time, the whole leg hurts. He's getting very little(if any)sleep at night, and it's taking a toll. I'm out of suggestions, and he's not scheduled to see the podiatrist until Wednesday. Does anyone have any other solutions? Thanks!

I am thinking of listening to mp3 hypnosis sessions to let go of fears, build self confidence, and heal myself from exema and dermatitis.

Does it work? If yes, where can I find mp3s?

hi all,
i was just wondering whether muscle wastage around the bicep and tricep can ever be repaired, i injured it last year via my c6 spine and also damaged the nerves going towards my left side, i have noticed te left damaged side seems to be quite smaller then my normal arm aswell as i have lost strength.
i am considering swimming and small weights/more reps to build strength and a stronger foundation but wondered if my arm would regain its size and strength like before. any info would be appreciated. thanks

I have no idea what happend! One day I was fine the next I could hardly walk straght! I'm also getting these strange dizzy flashes when i'm walking sometimes (if that has anything to do with it). Anyone know what could be wrong with me? If anyone has any questions, i'll try my best to answer them. I really want this to stop, I have to salvage whatever dignity i have left...

It comes on while I sleep and the pain is incredible! It only lasts a minute or so, but the pain is very intense. I take calcium pills daily.
