[QUOTE=InvaderNouga;32094795]Completely normal. When you're resting your blood pressure doesn't need to be as high as it normally is when you're standing. Your body requires less effort to circulate blood, so when you stand up suddenly your body doesn't have enough time to adjust your BP to the change in gravity. So you blackout for a second from low blood pressure until your body gets your blood pressure up again to compensate for your positional change.[/QUOTE]
Oh, well thank you, I was getting kinda worried there.
I went to the doctors yesterday, they told me I have laryngitis.
Wooo..
I don't know if this is the right place to put this, but I have been suffering from severe paranoia ever since I was 16. Anything can set me off and I find something to make me miserable each day. I will think someones going to break into my house, or if I left my garage door open and someone stole something but I don't know what, or this one time one of my friends found some nails in my house laying on the floor and he said he put them in my garage, but I couldn't believe him and was freaking out thinking that he put them on my couch thinking it would be funny if I sat down and got stabbed by it, or if I got stabbed earlier by the nails without knowing it, or maybe I got brain damage from hitting my head on something earlier and there was something sharp on it that stabbed me in the head without knowing it, just stupid things like that. I've tried medications, but they don't work, so I have to try to cope with it, but it's pretty hard. I've seen people to try to help me, but it didn't really work. I live alone, which sorta helps in a way and makes me feel safer for some reason. If anyone has something similar to me or knows how to get better or how to cope with it, please tell me, it drives me nuts.

There's nail polishes that taste nasty, which you can use to stop biting. It never worked for me but it might help. Putting band aids on your fingers helped a little bit.
I bite my finger nails due to boredom.

I have puss coming out of side of my big toe.

Amputate it and send it to your boss with the message "Promote Singo or her head will be next"
If it doesn't clean up, do the same to the President. If that doesn't help, you may need to go see a doctor.
There is a black growth on my leg about ~3 inches in circumference.

What exactly do you mean by a "growth"? If it looks like it's creeping up your leg with each week, it might be necrosis and you may need to amputate. Srsly, I'm not kidding.

You didn't think I was being srs, did you?
Seriously though, that growth does sound pretty freaky.
Well sometimes it talks to me when it is very quiet. It says
"Kill them all"
Yo, my right ear has been blocked for a few days so i'm going to make an appointment to get it irrigated. I was just wondering do I ask to see the Practice nurse or a doctor for it?

Nurse will be fine.
I get this sometimes when I do some hardcore gaming with loud music..
[QUOTE=Cone;31990363]If at all possible, try and take a picture of this... stuff. I'm fairly certain it being red isn't a good thing, but I need to know what shade it is before I can help you further.
And... yeah, I'd suggest seeing someone above my level of expertise. Like I said, I'm no doctor, just someone with a lot of common sense when it comes to things like this, and common sense won't help much longer.[/QUOTE]
You sure? I'm going to see a doctor about it at some point as it's a massive pain in the arse , but i'll see if I can post a picture tommorow morning.
Has anyone else other than me Psyched themselves out?
[QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;32141415]Has anyone else other than my Psyched themselves out?[/QUOTE]
again, in English please.
For a week now my arm has been in terrible pain in waves for no reason for 3-10 seconds at a time and by pain I mean it feels like someone is taking a fucking knife to it.

I see you've amended your post, but it still doesn't make sense to me.
What do you mean by psyche?

Sorry.
Move to canada and see a doctor.

I'll need to see the exact shade. If it's a bit too blood-like, I'd recommend you see someone. Even if it's basically just red mucus, I'd still say you should see a doctor.
Home sick today with a fever, a sore throat and a runny nose. :suicide:
my vagina is inside out
wat do?
[QUOTE=Mercenary-;32145943]Home sick today with a fever, a sore throat and a runny nose. :suicide:[/QUOTE]
Takes some paracetamol and lots of codeine. That should help with general pain and fever.
Take pseudoephedrine, as well, it works absolute wonders for runny noses. As an aside, it can perk you up a little bit, not dissimilar to caffeine.

Make lots of videos and sell them on the internet to a niche field and give me 5% of the profits for the idea.
I've got a job interview today, but I've got a cold and my nose is so stopped up that you can barely tell my "b"'s from my "m"s. Anyone know a quick way to remedy this situation? Or at least a way to clear my nose so I can be understood.

Try to get to the point of your statement quickly. Not only will this minimize the chances of them getting annoyed, it's generally a good idea even without a blocked nose.
My advice is to take whatever medicine you usually take for this and blow your nose frequently. I don't believe there's really a "cure" for something like this, but in England we normally have some tea. See if you can find some tea bags at your local market, ginger/green tea if possible.
Other than that, I don't know what to suggest.

Pseudoephedrine, if you have no money, rinse your nostrils by snorting water a while beforehand.

Because you live in the states, speed is probably cheaper than pseudoephedrine and will do the same thing, mostly.
