I have flat feet and I am considering having my condition surgically corrected. Is this possible? I hope so. I read somewhere that the tendons/muscles of my instep can be tightened. I also have two other procedures I'd like to have done as well (shortening of one toe and bunion removal). I have runner's knee when I run and shin splints afterward.
Stats:
20 years old
No known diseases (STDs, diabetes, etc.)
No known allergies (penicillin, Toradol, etc.)
No history of mental illness in family.

In addition to pain relief, I'd like to unabashedly wear various forms of sandals in the summer (my feet sweat a lot in sneakers on the beach).

so yesterday at like 10am i started getting stomach pains, it felt just like i was getting the stomach flu [had it a month ago]. didn't throw up or have diarrhea, but i just felt like i was going to throw up all day..couldn't even sit up or eat the whole day. Woke up today, don't feel that bad. Stayed home from school cause I thought I would be throwing up and such. But I do have a slight cough. Ate some food, that made my stomach hurt a bit.

Is this the stomach flu? or what?

he would rather I come in for two weeks of physical therapy and then have the x-ray. The 2 weeks of therapy will cost me about $600. Dont you think the x-ray would be the first step to see if I need the therapy? Is he just milking my wallet?

Are the markings on contact lenses unique to the wearer? I was putting my contact in this morning and when i thought i got it in my vision didnt get any better. I started to worry cut i thought maybe it was stuck in my eye. I went fishing for it for about 15 minutes but didnt find it. I would have fished some more but I had to run to work. I asked my boyfriend to see if he could find it on the floor in the bathroom. He found a contact lense that looked the same with the same markings but the problem is that I share that bathroom with like 10 other people. That is the relevance to my first question. is there unique markings on contact lenses that would tell me that lense was mine or not?

I'm 21, married, and both my husband and I have no future plans to have children.

I have severe PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) and it takes a toll on our marriage. Medications have not helped. I would just like to get rid of periods altogether. What can I do to ELIMINATE PMDD? (not just relieve the symptoms of it)

I also have endometriosis and a prolapsed uterus that causes me a great deal of pelvic pain.

I think a full hysterectomy is out of the question, not because bearing children would no longer be an option, but because of the hormonal shift I would experience.

I do not want a treatment that will permanently affect our sex life.

Please help me find out what treatment options are available.

I'm 21 and married and both my husband and have agreed to not have children. I don't want to get too detailed on why.
I have severe PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) and it takes a toll on our marriage. Medication has not helped. I would just like to get rid of periods altogether. If I got my uterus removed (which I know is an irreversible option), would my PMDD be a thing of the past? What would happen to my hormone level? Would I be more susceptible to certain types of cancer later on?
Please share any personal experience. Thanks.

Topomax (really prescribed for depression, but I take it to help with Migranes..100 mg a day)
Tylenol PM to help me sleep (2 a night)
Excedrin if I need it during the day

Thanks!!

I have anxiety and the doctor put me on xanax for my nerves.i am only taking a half of .5 a day he said i could take more if i needed but i dont want to become addicted so i was taking only that amount. i have only been taking it for 3 days but prior to this I had developed a tingling in my right fingers Its mainly my pointer finger on my right hand and my left foot tingle. It doesn't do it anytime during the day usually. Only whenever I first wake up. I know your going to say I am laying on them wrong but I dont. I lay flat on my back and do not twist my feet or legs.I'm kinda unsure of why my right fingers and left foot tingles. I woke up about an hour ago my foot has stopped tingling but my right fingers are still feeling like pins and needles. any info from any personal experiences or anything would be great.Thanks.

My 1 year old got the flu (probably from daycare) and my wife was up all last night with the flu. My question is what can I do to prevent the flu from hitting me. One bad thing is that I have a pretty weak immune system, I think. I have started taking 1000 mg vitamin C tablets and some Multi Vitamins and I have been drinking OJ but what else can I do?

Would it be better to wash your face with cold water or hot water in the morning?
Cold water may be really refreshing but wont hot water kill all that bacteria? Which one is best?
Same with rinsing your mouth after brushing your teeth...
I'm just wondering because me and my mom always do opposite- I use cold water for washing my face and rinsing my mouth and my mom uses hot water for washing her face and rinsing her mouth.
Any suggestions? =)
Thanks.

I have heard about people who can tell themselves what time they want to wake up and they do. How does this work? I think its fascinating and would like to know how the mind can do this. Anyone here who can? How did you know you could do it?
