I have my gold chain around my neck constantly, not to show of, its just a small cross that my great grandma gave to me before she passed.

I almost never take it off, does having the chain on my neck do anything bad for my neck? or is it perfectly fine.

Like i said, i even sleep with it on and take a bath with it on sometimes.

I am wondering about a recent bout of anxiety I am suffering from. I am a smoker. I was smoking about one pack a day. A week ago I had a lung infection and it was hard to smoke. Since then I have only been smoking about half pack a day. I have also been experiencing some high anxiety since last week but only on my days off of work. I have a very physical job. I am wondering if maybe the combination of lower amounts of nicotine and 2 days of no strenous excercise could be the cause of high anxiety.

Has anyone else experienced this before??

I was taught as a kid to first wipe thoroughly with tissue, then disinfect the area immediately by using handsoap and warm water (using a half gallon plastic container while still seated on the toilet). Last step of course is to wash your hands in the sink. I still do it to this day, but I'm not sure if other people do it the same way. I have the impression that other people simply use tissue and do not do any disinfecting at all. (eeew!?)

This is a serious hygene quesiton, so serious answers only please.

He doesn't think that drugs are bad for you at all and we fight about it because his friends ask him to do it and I think he wants to. Extacy and cocain..I don't know what to do, it's tearing us apart even though i know he's not doing it but I think he will.

Just asking because I was asked this question this morning by someone and did not know how to answer it. I would think it would be against the law because thats someones personal information.

This may seem like a stupid question, but I am actually curious. What sort of food triggers the "silent but deadly" farts and why do some people not have ultra stinky farts?

I keep getting a sharp pain on the top backish part of my head, and when its not there it feels like someone is putting pressure on it, and whenever I move my head it feels like its moving with me.

I've been having sinus problems lately and I don't know if the two could be related,

Please someone tell me what it might be?

Recently I have been noticing a fair amount of blood in my stool. I have a pretty good idea it is from (without getting to graphic) straining to push out rather large and hard "pebbles" of poo, which seem to have caused a small split or cut in my anus. It is visible with a strategically placed mirror after the deed is done and I have cleaned up. My first idea was to let it heal, but having to go every other day only aggravates it and drip, drip drip, more blood in the toilet.

What is most ironic about my situation is that I have been traveling Mexico for a month. I have never had to strain to do a number 2 after being in Mexico because usually the opposite is the case...this is a first! Yup, let the jokes begin...but if anyone has an honest to goodness idea of what to do (besides "go to the doctor"), please let me know.

Thanks

i cant figure it out, when i use marijuana it helps me deal with my depression and anxiety, it works very well, it does all the things that the prescription drugs claim to do. and the side efects are not as bad. some one told me thats because its the high i was feeling, well if that high feeling makes me want to live life again i chose life aposed to the alternative. going from doctor to doctor, trying pill after pill,and then sufering the side afects, i beleive marijuana can not treat every one, am i right in thinking that other people that suffer from depression might be jealous that theres some thing out there that helps some people, and this is the big ? that i would like some one to anser for me. if marijuana does not help people with depression then why do so many people say that it does,and why have doctors prescribed it to people for this reason. is every one lieing,are the doctors just giving marijuana to people for no good reason,

I've been getting migraines for the past week nearly every afternoon. I usually never suffer from them, but lately it has been migraines that last from 2 to 6hours. What could possibly cause this?
I'm 17 yrs, 5'3 for 115 pounds... I've also had dizziness along with them, and they have gotten so bad to the point where I don't feel alert enough to drive.

I'm writing a story that has an ambulance crew responding to a scene where a man has a deep cut. I have no medical training, but I'd like the scene to be somewhat realistic.

What kind of things would two EMTs/Paramedics check for and say to each other when assessing the patient's injuries?

Also, do medical professionals have a slang term they use for ambulances?
