I delivered at 34 weeks, was monitored closely and then discharged 3 days later (without a BP medicine). The day of discharge they talked me into a Rubella vaccine. Strangely enough I relapsed that evening and was rushed back into the hospital with elevated protein levels and BP 182/128! Could it have been the shot?

We had someone from the council pest control to put rat poison down and now it relly stinks of mice. But how can we find them to get rid of them? Weve looked in the bathroom cupboard where theyve been hiding and theres no sign. Would the pest control people be able to help in any way? I cant stand the smell!!

My mother in law had emergency surgery last night after it was detected that she had a leak in her colon from diverticulitis. She had part of her intestine and colon removed and now has a colostomy. She is in ICU and hundreds of miles away. I was wondering what the mortality of this producer was?

i can't go to sleep at night any more. i have tried waking up early so i can go to bed early, but when i try to sleep i can't stop thinking about all kinds of dumb stuff. like what am i going to wear tomorrow or should i wash my car. really dumb random things. is there any medicine or supplements that i can get to help me go to sleep, but not wake up groggy. i don't want any prescription meds. thanks.

She slept all night last night, and has been asleep all day today.

I know she's under a lot of stress. Her mother is pretty much abandoning her in Missouri, so that she can move to Florida, and she can't move to Florida for another 1-2 months, when she gets her GED, and I can't go for at least 3 months when my work can transfer me. Oh, she also has nowhere to stay. Plain and simple, her mom doesn't care, and her Aunt won't let her stay there. I don't have a place where she can stay, and so she's really stressed right now.

But I was wondering if it could be any medical disorder that I would need to be concerned about as well.

Rapid hair loss (body, face and scalp) , I am losing on daily basis, decreased memory, specially short term memory and low concentration to the point that I can’t make a normal conversation without making several pause to look for words to complete my sentences. Other symptoms are depression, low energy, anxiety and once I lose hair on one area, I see white spot remain on my skin.

What is happening to me? What I should be doing?

I am 25, 5'5" and 115 lbs. I am not trying to go on a diet, but I need some advice on how to eat healthier and keep my figure. I don't want to shop for jeans in a bigger size every month lol.
The problem is, I work at a gas station where 99% of the store is sugary, fatty, salty junk food. And the sad part is, most of it appeals to me. I try to eat healthy (because I feel better when I do) but I usually end up overeating or oversnacking later to make up for the craving for the junk food, and then I feel bloated, tired and cranky after I eat the junk food.
(Example: I had fruit and lowfat yogurt for breakfast this morning.. but later I got really hungry and stuffed myself at Taco Bell, which my body is telling me I shouldn't have done.)
How are some ways that you guys stop craving junk food so much?
Please do not tell me I have an eating disorder. I simply want to take better care of myself by eating better foods so I can be alert during my full-time job and my college classes.

I took an online quiz, which I know isn't as nearly accurate as a doctor but alot of the symptoms of which they asked have applied to me. Such as feelings dizzy or and an abnormaly high heart beat. I'm such a worrier but I thought that was just the way I am, but I really think its something more serious then that. I'm going to get this checked out by a doctor but in the meantime do you know of any home remedies or over the counter medicines that can help me with this? Thanks it would be greatly appreciated :)

About 9 months ago my sister was in an accident.....long story short, she is wheelchair bound. She is very independant, she has a very hard time asking for help. She can no longer get into her bathtub or on to the shower seat by herself, she has a nurse to help her twice a week, but she is kind of obsesive.......last week she told me she uses Clorox Wipes on herself between showers! Now I know this can't be good, but I'm not sure what would be better. Please help me, help her!
