My sister has a severe sttuter and yesterday on the abc show "Medical Mysteries" there was a special on the Speech Easy hearing device for people who sttuter. This device according to its inventor helps people, who sttuter, speak fluently, due to the "coral effect". Has anyone here, who sttuters, tried it or know anyone who has?

At my place we have bedbugs which bit me the day before yesterday on my foot. Yesterday they didn't effect me very much, but today my foot got really big, it looks like a ball now, and it itches and hurts so bad, and it has a liquid yellow bag on the side of it, I can't even walk anymore. Is this dangerous? I'm really scared, please help me.

My family and I are non-smokers but recently we have been very much disturbed by my neighbours downstairs who smoke a lot everyday. It would be all right if he smokes inside his house but he would always do so in his balcony and all the cigarette smell would travel to my house.

Second-hand cigarette smell is just as bad and health threatening. We have already tried speaking to him but unfortunately he carried on doing so.

Is there anything else we can do? I'm living in SIngapore by the way. Would really appreciate if any of you can help us.

Thanks.

Does taking ADD/ADHD drugs allow students to be more alert, focused, attentive and smarter? I mean even if one is perfectly healthy without any medical conditions requiring the use of such drugs?

Not from a medical perspective, but just which is more unpleasant to experience?

I'm a recovering drug and alcohol addict. I recently lost my job and thought I had bombed on an interview... I relapsed and did a few lines of cocaine over the course of 2 days... I flushed the rest of the coke down the toilet after then and am determined to get and stay clean again.

I got a surprising call on Monday- the place who's interview I thought I had bombed called me in for a 2nd interview. When I got there, they offered me a job and sent me for a urine test, which I wasn't expecting.

I had used 6 days before the test, but hadn't flushed my system as well as I would have if I knew there would be a urine screening...

Am I SOL, or is there at least a 50/50 shot that I could pass it?

before last week, i hadn't used in 2 years, so i'm not a 'frequent' user if that makes much of a difference.

This is a random question... I know that when you take vitamin c suppliments and your body doesn't need all of the vitamin it is discarded in your urine. Why is it bright yellow? I have never taken a multivitamin or vitamin c without having bright yellow pee. Does this mean that I have enough vitamin c in my diet? It seems strange that this should be so, because although I usually eat lots of fruits and vegtables I sometimes do not, and regardless of the amount of vitamin c in my diet I always have bright yellow pee if I take a multivitamin.

Too much vitamin C is also not a good thing. Should I try to find a multivitamin without vitamin c in it, since my body abvious thinks I don't need and more vitamin c than it already has.
