My daughter's right big toe had an ingrown nail. We soaked it in epsom salts for a few days off and on, and it eventually got soft enough for it to be cut. Now she has a nice, straight across cut that will work well for her as it heals.

Until then, though, the area that had the nail imbedded is very sore and feels almost as bad to her as when the nail was ingrown. We've tried putting a little rubbing alcohol on that area to dry the skin out, but she says it doesn't help.

Anyone have any tips for helping the healing AFTER the nail has been cut?

I've been backed up for about 5 or 6 days, I have the party on Saturday and I don't want a sudden case of the runs to surprise me. What are some of the foods I can get to get my bowels moving. Also, taking laxatives, how long does it take before it starts working and how long of the day should I set aside for this "fun time" I'll be having with the toilet?

This guy has smoked for over 10 years. A couple times a day. He doesn't seem to be the same person. Looses his temper and seems more selfish than usual. And other things too. Is that because of the pot?

How do you make yourself throw up.

I've tried gagging myself but it wont work.

I'm not going bulimic or anything I'm just sick and my stomach hurts and I need to throw up.
