Last week well scratching by head I noticed what felt like a hard half of a ping pong ball at the bottom of skull/top of neck. I was like, where did that come from. I know it wasnt there before or at least so noticeable. I read about the external occipital protuberance but how noticeable should that really be? It feels like what u get when u bump your head. I just find it odd I would just notice it, like i said, it couldnt have been there or been so big before. How noticeable should it be ? I have been having other bone pain which is being looked by my doctor. I am bringing up the head thing tomorrow but wondered others opinions. Could anything cause it to be more noticeable, such as something not good.

Ok, so I'm sitting here with one right now. I've taken tylenol earlier, and it helped a little (this was before it actually felt like a migraine) and now its worse, so I took a dose of Imitrex, as prescribed by my doctor. I pray the the Lord will heal me of this disease, I've been suffering from it since I was 2 years old according to my medical records. I usually get sick at my stomach when I have a migraine, and there is usually no relief unless that happens. Right now my stomach feels fine, but my entire head feels like its being pushed in with a ton of force. I have changed my diet this past month, i avoid corn syrup, cholesterol, msg, and artificial sweetners. I don't drink, and only get caffeine from tea. Does anyone have any suggestions? I cant get my doctors to put me on anything like Topamax, they keep wanting to try things like Depakote and Diamoxx. I tell them it helps, but doesnt prevent it, and they keep telling me to give it more time. I've given it over a year!

I went to an outdoor concert on Friday and got a few whiffs of marijuana. There was a guy 2 people away who smoked a joint. I took the drug test today. Will the pot show up in my test? I asked the technician at the testing place and she said it would but I wanted more opinions because it seems crazy that it would.

I have my first cigarette within 3 minutes of waking up in the morning. Cup of coffe and a cigarette. (It's disgusting and I know it!). Those of you who have quit, how did you stop that first cigarette of the day? I want to start tapering off and begin taking Chantix. If I can postpone that first cigarette that in itself would be an accomplishment! So, what did you do when you got up instead of smoking? (and don't tell me to stay in bed lol)

I have paruresis ("shy bladder"), which means I physically can't pee with other people around or if my time is limited. However, whenever I try to tell anyone about it, they either accuse me of being a germophobe or think I'm making it up. This causes big problems with my family; when we go on long trips, they always pressure me into using public facilities and then ask me why I didn't pee. (I should add that I'm a 16 year old girl.) I try to explain, but they get really mad at me for being "picky" or "too self-conscious". Has anyone else ever had to deal with people not believing them about this? How did you eventually get through it?

Hey all, I bought a pair of cheap flip flops and now have what appears to be chemical burns on my feet where the straps were...I have contacted the FDA, and they weren't much help, I contacted Walmart to alert them to the fact there might be a problem and they were SO rude I couldn't believe it. The picture of my feet was taken yesterday, 7-1-07 and I have had this for 10 days now, is there anyone else that has had any problems?

She is 17, of normal weight and eats a balanced diet. I took her to the doctor and he ran lots of hormone tests, including one for thyroid. They did not find anything abnormal. Her scalp looks perfectly normal. Recently, her hair started coming out in handfuls. Should I take her back to the doctor again or to a specialist? If a specialist then what kind?

Loud voices, it sounds like someone is in the room with me yelling, whispering, or talking at a normal level. It only happens when I am just about to fall asleep. It is becoming a problem because it happens every night now...It scares the hell out of me and it is really starting to worry me...Is this normal?

My teacher at school told me that women have two more ribs than men. I posted a question about this and got a lot of abuse. People told me it was a stupid idea, which I am prepared to accept. i would just like to hear it from someone with real subject knowledge, qualifications in anatomy or who is working in that field, doctors, morticians, serial killers, whatever, just someone who REALLY knows and whose opinion i can respect when they tell me what a dumbass i am.

I am almost 19, I have measured myself and I am 2/3 of an inch taller than I was last year. Listen to this though. I was 5'9 at 17 and 10 months , at 15 I was 5'8 1/2. Between the ages of 15-18 I only grew an half an inch. I though I was done growing, ( Dad 5.11.5 mom a little over 5'4). Now I all of a sudden I have grown faster in the past year than I have previously. I am a late bloomer though, but how come I didn't grow before when I was supposed to? My voice started cracking a year ago to.
