Within the past few months I've been drinking a lot of wine, maybe about 4 bottles a week. I never used to have a problem with wine or alcohol of any kind but lately whenever I drink alcohol (mainly wine) I get sharp stomach pain and bloating. Also sometimes while drinking wine I suddenly feel dehydrated and very thirsty, this has only happened within the last month or so. It happens even when I've had plenty of water throughout the day and I know there isn't any way I could be dehydrated. It's the stomach pains that are mainly bothering me though, sometimes I double over in pain. Do you think it's my bodies way of telling me to lay off the alcohol for a while? Does this happen to anyone else?

I know inhaling it straight from the tank can kill you but how about just from whats left from an old birthday balloon? I have done it before when I was younger making my sisters laugh but is it safe?

We all know that 'COLD Germs' can only stay Alive if it stays at 98.6 degrees and the Germs stay in the human body, right?

But exactly how many Hours can 'Common COLD Germs' keep Alive (Outside the body)......before they Die? Like on house hold surfaces with a room Temperature of 74 degrees ?

3 to 5 hours?
8 to 10 hours?
or More?

What??

I don't know the Right answer. That's why I'm asking : < )

Can't keep anything down longer than 20 minutes, including pepto. I don't think my body can do well to fight this if I'm dehdrated and half-starved.

I have a pretty busy schedule. I play violin, piano, take 2 dance classes, take 2 advance courses. I was wondering if anyone has tips on how to handle a busy schedule. Next year it's going to get even busier. I'm going to take violin and piano lessons and join an orchestra that practices two hours 1 night a week. Next year I'll also be doing 2 hours of rowing/crew each night. I'll also be taking 4 or more advanced classes and 1-2 dance classes. I also want to have a life with friends and everything so I need tips/suggestions on how to handle this busy schedule and tips on time management. Thanks!

Friday my skin was really sensitive and hurts to slightly touch by my ribs. it hurts to breath and even hold my arm next to my side.

Is there a way of getting him to swallow his medicine ?

My daughter has had an unspecified virus for 6 days. Vomitting, diarrhea and fever. She lost 2 pounds (weighs 31) and ended up at the hospital for iv rehydration last night. Her doctors orders stated that she was to receive 3 bags of fluids. She only got about 1 1/2 bags because the "clinic" part of the hospital that does this treatment was closing and didn't have time to give her the rest! She was acting cheerful and singing for the last 20 minutes of treatment, so I guess they felt comfortable discharging her. I wasn't worried because she was so happy. On the way home she vomitted and over night she had diarrhea. She woke up very lethargic, grumpy, and went back to sleep after only 2 hours awake. She is keeping down pedialyte today...small amounts every 30 minutes. Should I just let the virus run it's course?

I'm 14 years old, 5'6 and I weigh 110 pounds. I've been that weight for about 6 months now, sometimes going up to 115-120, but always sooner or later dripping down to 110 without even trying to diet. I always eat a big breakfast, a big lunch, and a big dinner, all well balanced. I exercise quite a bit. But my friends, they never eat breakfast or lunch, yet they are all gaining weight and quite chubby. (5'6-5'11, 130-190 lbs, about same age) Is this weight/status normal for me?

Hi there, I have worked with homeless people in the past about 2 years ago. Shortly after that i had this pain that went down my back and then had some severe chills the same night. Went to bed and woke up with urinary symptoms that were really bad. So i went to a doctor and he gave me antibiotics which didn't really help much. Since then I have had all the tests done. blood tests urine tests and a cystcopy. And now i have a low burning back pain that has been there almost the whole time. It never goes away day or night. I have abdominal tenderness as well. Could this possibly be extra TB considering i have had an x ray of my chest?

My mum used to file her finger-nails to points, I think so she could try to claw at my face. She hated me & was jealous. She never managed to actually do that but... I suffered in loads of other ways because of other things she did deliberately to hurt me & everything I liked... & she told me I was ugly... so when things all got on top of me, it was like BLAM! in my head, & I couldn't see a solution, so in anger & trustration, I started attacking myself... I've been doing that now for so long, it's become a part of my life to such an extent it stops me from having a proper life... cos of the affects - a bit like Dorian Grey... I've been to my GP who said this didn't come under the NHS, I will have to pay for treatment but I'm broke cos I get a job cos I've ruined my face - well, almost! Please, is there anybody out there who can advise me???? This is making me really, reallyy miserable cos i can't see any end to it...
