Thanks, guys. :allears:
But make sure you get pseudoephedrine, not phenylephrine, because phenylephrine is a rubbish decongestant that some studies indicate is about as useful as taking a placebo. You might have you show your license/some id so they know you haven't been to a dozen pharmacies already.
So yeah, I've been having quite an intimate issue, a hemorrhoid the size of my thumb is sitting right on my anus, when I first got it, it hurt like all hell, but after a few weeks it stopped hurting, but the fucker is still there. Should I go to the doctor about this, why did it stop hurting, but it remains the same unnatural size.

Drink lots of water, take paracetamol/acetaminophen, have a few baths. Can you still experience feeling through it? If not, then go to a doctor soon, because the blood supply might be cut off.

I sometimes I get pain in my chest. Not a sharp pain though, help. It's like a dull pain.
[QUOTE=Ghost656;32148903]I sometimes I get pain in my chest. Not a sharp pain though, help. It's like a dull pain.[/QUOTE] I get those, I just pound it until it goes away. Usually works.
Is it good for your ingrown toenails (had two in the last 4-5 years) to heal themselves?
Sometimes, when I look straight up into the air I get really dizzy and there's sort of a ticklish feeling in my chest.
Just a random question, this isn't really something that worries me but how come when I'm in a completely silent room I can hear a high-pitched whining noise? I've been hearing it ever since I was a tiny kid, and my hearing's fine (I think). I don't listen to music that loudly either.

I've had chronic headaches since I was 5 or 6, and since I was 12, I've had huge migraines on a monthly basis. I just got dismissed from school today because of it. The regions range differently, from the back corners of my brain to the front, and today it went from the back all the way into my eyes. Please, if anyone can help me, I'd be appreciative.
guys, i'm scared. i had to take a dump today and after i was done i went to flush, but then i noticed that my poop had bright red blood on it. should i be worried or is this normal? [editline]7th September 2011[/editline] oh, and to the above poster, just take painkillers.

[QUOTE=Corky;32158005]I'm not getting jacked on vicadin for migraines.[/QUOTE] Why not? If it only happens once a month. Other places I'd say 'see a specialist', but that will cost you an arm and a leg.
Thanks to whoever posted the info about Precordial Catch Syndrome. I've had that for as long as I can remember, it comes back every so often. It's quite worrying when you get pain like that right where your heart is, but the symptoms are precisely the same as those described for PCS so that's put my mind to rest somewhat. I don't like the sound of getting rid of it by breathing in sharply though, that "ripping" or "popping" sensation sounds horrible :v:

[/QUOTE] Tylenol is only in the United States, funnily enough other countries exist too. I could either say paracetamol/acetaminophen, or list everything from here [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_paracetamol_brand_names[/url]

I'd go get something like that checked out by a doctor as soon as possible if I were you.
Guys, earlier today I was feeling like throwing up and had a rather extreme loss of appetite. I was also sweating a lot, despite feeling quite cold. If it's any relation, I frequently stay awake for periods of twenty-four hours at a time, and I'm quite thin.

[QUOTE=Contag;32164344]Do you have any other symptoms? Like a cough, or congestion? Eaten/taken anything out of the ordinary?[/QUOTE] Nope, not eaten anything. I'm feeling quite itchy all of a sudden though, like I have a rash.
[QUOTE=Cone;32164794]Nope, not eaten anything. I'm feeling quite itchy all of a sudden though, like I have a rash.[/QUOTE] Perhaps take something for nausea, like an anti-histamine. That would also mean you'll be able to tell if the itchy-ness is from an allergic/histamine kind of release or something else entirely. Hayfever tablets should work for those purposes, I'm not sure about the stock of your medicine cabinet.

Would a bottle of Cetirizine syrup be sufficient for the rash?
