I've been through all of the steroid sprays etc. which cause more problems then they solve. I have suffered so much from remedies that I no longer trust mainstream doctors. Yet, every night I suffer this terrible pain that wakes me up. I can do a little back bend to alleviate it. Drinking water helps. If it gets too bad I do take a Tylenol. I use my neti pot every night, but it just doesn't reach this deep painful spasm that occurs in my chest every night. I went to a cardiologist, but he had no clue, even after some dreadful radioactive test. He just tried to sell me "super bowl" statins. He did say that my blood oxygen was low because of the asthma. Has anyone experienced this and found a remedy, that does not involve dangerous pharmaceutacals?

Last night at new years eve i was standing in the dancefloor at an outdoors concert at 12am with my family and some friends watching the fireworks and bringing in the new year.
But for some reason, all i felt was sadness.
People were dancing happily and i was standing at the edge of the dance floor. Somehow the urge to dance and laugh dissapeared. I just wanted to go home.

I have been feeling this way for about 4 months, but last night it was so obvious.

What can i do.

I've taken about 10 Ibuprofens between today and yesterday, and 6 Energy Drinks in both days.

And the bottom of my eyes became really red, like not bloodshot but all red, I've been really cold, tired, weak, had blue and purple skin, around my eye, and I have what seems to be discoloration underneath my fingernail.

So I looked up the symtoms on WebMD

and all of them fit endocarditis which comes from infection of heart's inner lining, and endocarditisis linked to kidney, and liver problems.
Could the habit of having to much Ibuprofen, and so much caffiene effected me so I'd devolp
endocarditis?

I weighed myself today and have gained 15 lbs in 2.5 months... That was the final straw---- rediculous!! I know its from stress and eating on the go and I ammaking my new years resolution to be healthy and I am going to do it!! I ordered the turbo jam maximum results, and bought the alli starter pack... Now, I plan on walking my dog for 30 minutes three times a week, and doing the turbo jam at least twice a week...
I'm thinking that is a great start but the food is what screws me over.. Is this good?
For Breakfast---
An orange and a sugar free carnation instant breakfast for the calcium or a bowl of special k w/ skim milk and an orange
Snack-??
Lunch-Turkey sub and what? I have to keep my fat intake at >15g a meal
Snack?
Dinner- Soup or what?

Also, I work at a smoothie shop and we sell fresh smoothies... Would it be okay to get a smoothie as one of my snacks at 200-300 calories or is that just too much?

I'm 13. And on my second period. It wasn't heavy last time. But this time its reaally heavy.
Examples:

I had a pad on for like an hour. I bled through it. Onto my pants.

I've bloodstained like three pairs of underwear today.
And two pairs of pants.

Now I'm going to the potty room like every 10-20 minutes because I feel reaallyy wet. And sure enough I am.

Now I'm using two pads to make a long one because it usually comes through the back or front not in the middle.

And I'm not wearing skimpy pads. I'm wearing always maxi pads. MAXI PADS.

Can anyone suggest anything that will make me feel better? Or like? Idk. But this is making me maaaddd!

After smoking some marijuana i wanted to test myself as to how much pain I can handle. And well I found I can handle pretty much any amount of pain because I am able to convince myself the pain feels good and I enjoy its increasing intensity. The only thing that stops me from continuing is the thought of my skin boiling. Is this a problem?Should I encourage it with non-lethal methods? If so which? Do I need help?

Hubby won't go to doctors/I think he should. He refuses to go.

Symptoms: Can't shake flu symptoms..been going on for about three months now, extremely tired, has that foul breath you get when you have stomach or organ problems (my mother died of cancer-always had that foul sick smell on her breath) well he has it too, has for weeks and its not going away, Fever's off an on ever few days, cough won't go away either.

I am sure it can be anything any guess from those on here as where to start..I need something to shock him to go to the doctors...apparently...dealthly illness isn't getting his attention.

i was getting ready for a party, since it's almost new years, and i hit my head very hard on a wood desk as i bent down to pick somthing up. my eyes watered and i could barely breathe. in about a minute i noticed a huge bump about a third or a fourth of my forehead and a little bit of blood. it is still swollen and painful right now. i am pretty dizzy and i decided to ask this question to see if anyone knows what is going on, if i should see a doctor, how long it will take to heal, what i should do, etc...
thank you.

There's an average size toilet that most places have. But even for me, when i sit in the toilet.. my manhood almost doesn't fit..especially when erect.

ANd i'm a skinny 5feet 8 inches tall guy. i have a pretty skinny skeleton and even i suffer.. but how about other strong guys or bigger guys or women... or whoever that has a stronger thicker skeleton, dn't they struggle?

Isn't it time to reengineer the way toilets are made.

Resilience is the ability to adapt well to stress, adversity, trauma or tragedy. It means that, overall, you remain stable and maintain healthy levels of psychological and physical functioning in the face of disruption or chaos.

Here's little test for you:

Characteristics of resilient people. Check if you agree:

I'm able to adapt to change easily.
I feel in control of my life.
I tend to bounce back after a hardship or illness.
I have close, dependable relationships.
I remain optimistic and don't give up, even if things seem hopeless.
I can think clearly and logically under pressure.
I see the humor in situations, even under stress.
I am self-confident and feel strong as a person.
I believe things happen for a reason.
I can handle uncertainty or unpleasant feelings.
I know where to turn for help.
I like challenges and feel comfortable taking the lead.

(from an article on www.mayoclinic.com, 12/3/2007) I checked all but one.
