Is it common to develop Carpal Tunnel Syndrome at age 14?

I've asked questions before about CTS and mentioned my symptoms and how I have been playing bass clarinet, piano, and clarinet for almost 4 years now. I play almost 5 hours every day and when I'm not practicing, I'm either writing or on the computer. I hear all of the time that it's not possible to develop CTS at this young of an age, but when I think of my symptoms and the ones for CTS, I get so confused. Is it possible for it to develop at my age due to my activities, or is it something else?

What school supplies should i get for a preschool?

What is the percentage of getting rid of carpal tunnel?

The only way to get rid of it is surgery. They go into your wrist and snip a nerve. The problem is sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I first discovered it when I was in 8th grade and I'm 63 now and still have it. When I first noticed it they didn't have a name for it and didn't know much about it. So, either have the surgery or learn to live with it. It never gets any better, only worse.

Anyone know about Florida's Pre VPK program (free preschool)? I have a question.?

My son turns 4 in late August so I have let his day care know that I would like him to start Pre VPK (Florida's free preschool) there in August. So I went to check him in to day care this morning and it said he has been moved from the 3 year old room to the Pre VPK room and is now in that class. As far as I know you can either take it during the summer for 5 hours a day or for the entire school year for 3 hours a day. Does anyone know if he can take it for the summer AND for the school year? If he can only do one or the other I need to make sure he only takes it for the school year. The reason being the before and after care is cheaper and his little brother is starting daycare in August so I'm trying to get my day care costs down to a minimum. Anyone that knows about this, your input is appreciated.

Is President Obama disconnected from the America that he's supposed to Govern?

Obama still seems to be in perpetual campaign mode and NEVER in any kind of leadership mode. He likes to make a great speech about something and then pawn everything off on someone else while he goes golfing far away from the fray.He pawned the stimulus and Obamacare off on Pelosi, and pawned the debt crisis off on Biden. He submitted a joke of a budget a few months ago, and then didn't even try to come back and defend it except a couple of very vague speeches in which he mumbled something about raising taxes. Obama should be focused 100% on our economic crisis, and should be on TV outlining his plan (which it is clear that he doesn't even have). Instead, he waits for the GOP to actually come up with a plan, then only comes on TV to demagogue it to death with lies and half truths while never offering an alternative. This demonstrates a COMPLETE lack of leadership! Even Jimmy Carter at least TRIED to do something. Obama won't even do that. he just goes golfing which is a slap in the face to the rest of us who are struggling.

My dog has always had a small blood blister on his head. He is 4 years old.?

Carpal tunnel and pain shooting up to my elbow?

I work at Cargil...where we slaughter cows and do the meat. Well I work with a knife and every morning I wake up and my fingertips tingle. Then when i get to work and start to use my knife, my whole hand will go completely numb so that i have to shake it just to get feeling back.

Question about preschool (with 3 year old)?

I would just out her in a mothers day out once a week. This way she is getting a classroom interaction and learns to be around groups of children. The mothers day out thing is usually just for a few hours, and is cheap, and i'm sure any mom could use a few hours just once a week to have me time.

Do you know when you are getting old?

I know. I am a age-denying 59 year old man. I finally realized I am old when I went to buy shoes. Everyone wants to sell me white shoes! Next comes the white belt, the rings, necklaces, id bracelets, and the convertible car. Before I know it; I will be asking for senior citizen discounts at restaurants and learning golf. God help me!

Will carpal tunnel come back if I have surgery?

Yes, If you do not change what you are doing that caused the carpal tunnel then it can. The problem with Carpal Tunnel is that most people who have carpal tunnel are not diagnosed by the time that the disease has become chronic and you are in so much pain. Often times they go back to the same job and no modification are made in their work environment. So yes, it can come back. You don't need surgery but it is would be a up hill to fight the disease. Go on Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Homepage and try doing the exercises they offer. Do not do any exercises suggested off this site as they don't have pictures attached to them. Pictures promote proper usage and modeling.You can get injured or experience additional pain. I would have the minor surgery and work on changing my environment

My 9 year old son in diapers?

Wow!! Sounds like some of it is discipline. When they throw a fit, time them out!! If used correctly, it really works, I have four kids, used time outs for all and there great kids. But, you have to follow through. You can't weaken. The whole potty thing is pretty easy, put em' in pull ups. They will get there eventually. Also, they could be using this potty thing for attention. The less said the better. When they mess themselves, just change them, say nothing act like no big deal. Their going to wonder why their not getting all the attention they used to. Eventually tell them they need to change their pants themselves, leave them in their room till they do. You may have a mess, but if you follow through and continue to wait for them to change themselves, no t.v., snacks, toys, nothing till they change their own pull up, it will work. But you need to stand firm and not cave, regaradless of what THEY do!!!! Good luck and hang tough Mom!!

I also play tennis a lot too which may also contribute to it. also, are the enlarged joints a sign of over gaming or genetics?

Is this tendonitis / tendinitis or something else?

For the past week, my right hand feels swollen and has a burning sensation. It feels this way throughout the day, but especially worse in the morning when I wake up and at night. I just moved apartments so I'm wondering if I could have injured my wrist while moving something heavy. I also have pretty severe carpal tunnel so I'm wondering if it's getting worse?

They have ladies balls but it's easier just get soft or spin. In tournaments you must play one ball till you lose it or scratch it and show your playing partner that the ball is scratched or unplayable meaning cracked torn etc. Rough is hard to determine if the rough will stop the ball or not so like to follow it with my 60 degree wedge

Can I get into Texas A&M or Baylor?

I'm going into my senior year. Our gpas are on the 6.0 system, but my counselor helped me convert it and I am a 3.0 to 3.1 gpa. This coming year im taking AP statistics, governmemt and environmental science. Going to a somewhat conservative school is very important to me. My sat scores are math : 520 writing: 560 and critical reading : 540 but im taking it again ( I know baylor superscores the sat) I just took my ACT so no score yet, but I took it in 7th grade since I was in the duke tip program with no calculator and not knowing the math and made a 15 composite. I was a varsity swimmer two years, varsity water polo one year and dance team two years. I am in the health science slc and was in health science technology. I have 2 years lifeguarding and one year nannying. I am in trooper school, two years. Its a preschool amd im a teacher and make lesson plans and have to be interviewed to make it. I was also a volunterr swim coach for two years... I need to add up the hours its alot. I also used to read to kids at my library. My high school is very competitive at the beginning of jr year I was in the top 36% my grades were best this year and so hopefully when they release new rankings i'm under top 33% so I would be top third. What do you think my chances are of getting in. also tamu's dorms fill up quickly, so since I am not automatically accepted and wouldnt know until march would I have a good or bad chance of getting a dorm? Thanks!

What could this be? Is it a medical condition?

I've had those feelings, sensations, they are normal. Hyper sensitive, when I was a teenager, sometimes I would feel really tall, I'm 5'3", strange, funny feeling. or other times it seems as if you are one with the world, kind of an all knowing feeling, but no words for it. You'll outgrow your anxiety , don't let that be something you carry with you all your life. It's normal to be anxious in some situations or nervous. It's a new 2000 diagnosis that is normal for everybody so the Rx can get money/meds to people who have a normal situation. May have super sensory sensation, If it's all the time and you suffer hearing loss or other measurable sx, then get seen. I'm sure somebody will name it for you. Sounds pretty normal to me, Have you had deja vu experiences, yet?

Nightmare on elm street (2010) question!?

Why don't people think cheerleading (or at least Allstar/ Competitive cheerleading) is a sport?

I think, no scratch that, I KNOW that cheerleading is a sport! You have to tumble, dance, be super flexible, lift people up, etc to be a cheerleader! Also, cheerleaders are tough! I'm a base, and I get hit all the time by my fliers and I just keep on going. All bases are like that. Once I got kicked in the neck and I just ignored it! Also, most, if not all cheerleaders are not like the stereotypes. Everyone thinks that cheerleaders are just slutty girls in skimpy outfits that run around and shout annoyingly with pompoms at football games, and then they go bang the football players. That's SO not true! Cheerleaders aren't stupid or slutty. I'd say it's much harder than some "sports" like golf, NASCAR, or bowling. So, with that being said, how could anyone NOT think that cheerleading is a sport?

Should I be buying brand new golf balls?

Yes it is worth the money to buy the new golf balls because you will be used to how those spin and roll and how they feel when you make contact with the ball. All of this will help you lower your handicap.

If your tot came home from daycare pretty beat up...do you call them again...?

Have you asked your 2.5 year old what actually happened? Ask her what the daycare did when she fell down. The daycare isn't going to give your child the love & attention you would have if you were there but I'm sure they made sure she was ok. I would ask if they use peroxide to clean the cut, etc. when you put her in the preschool.

Pregnant Moms: How do you deal with Carpal tunnel syndrome if you have it as a symptom?

With my first pregnancy, I didn't get it until I was in my third trimester. But I am in my second pregnancy and only 5 months into it, I have developed it already. It is so painful, 2 extra strength tylenol barely do anything for it. Shaking my arms hands and putting them up on pillows doesn't do anything. How did you deal with it? It was more bareable for me last time, knowing I was closer to delivery, but it was still very painful and the wrist guards they gave me didn't help, it made it worse. I have so much longer to go! Any help or experiences? Thanks!

I've been having trouble with my Golf. If I let it sit for a couple hours it has no problem starting. But when I get home then try to go out maybe 30 minutes later it wont start. At first I thought it was the stupid seat belt no connecting. Not the problem, I'm not sure if just needs to cool down or if something else is going on. Thanks!

Why is my arm hurting?

For a year or so now, my hand and wrist hurt when I'm stirring something in the kitchen, trying to open a jar, and even when I'm trying to brush a random knot out of my hair. It would only come when I was doing these things, and then it would go away just as quickly. Well, the past couple of weeks this has been happening again. This time, however, it hasn't gone away and has spread all the way up to my shoulder. My fingers, wrist, elbow, and shoulder all hurt almost constantly. I've been told it's possibly carpal tunnel, but if it is would my elbow and shoulder hurt also? What could this be? Thank you!

Beginning stages of carpal tunnel syndrome?

I am worried that I may have developed carpal tunnel syndrome. It started when I was pregnant and has only gotten worse. My right wrist stays in pain. There's never any bruising or swelling. It's just a constant pain. It feels as though my wrist is locked sometimes. It takes a minute for me to be able to move it. It's been going on since a few weeks before my son was born. He's now 11 months old. I'm also currently 6 months pregnant with twins so I can't get an x-ray to see what's going on. Does this sound like the beginning of carpal tunnel?

WHAT DOES THIS DREAM MEAN?!?!?

In my opinion, dreams for me, are mashed into one big thing made of small things I have seen throughout the day, If i see someone, i will dream about them, If i see a car, i will dream about that person in the car, Things aren't real in a dream and you should just ignore your dreams, unless they're especially nice ^.-

Parents: which school would you pick for your child?

I'm having the hardest time deciding where to send my 3 yr old in Sept. She's at a good daycare. But we thought a school environment might be good. We registered for preschool at one of the best catholic sch in the area. Now I'm not sure if we should go through with it. Our kid has lots of close friends at daycare, daycare has a curriculum etc. Catholic school is only slightly cheaper but seems more structured & academic. What would you do? I know it's our decision but just need some ideas; my husband is sold on the cath sch. Thanks!

I get 4-6 hours of sleep per night and spend the rest of the night online... but i'm fine?

i fall asleep between midnight and 4 and wake up 4-6 hours later, so between 6 and 10 depending on when i nodded off that night. but it does not affect my performance in my home schooling my concentration or anything. my doctor, when asked said i have no sleep deprivation symptoms. i wake up refreshed and ready for action usually. also, i admit to being an internet addict and it's no secret to my family, and i usually spend the more lonely part of the night playing runescape, chatting on facebook or just looking at cats. i do it during a lot of the day time too, and people say it's bad for you. bad for your eyes, makes you fat and can cause carpal tunnel, wrist and hand fatigue and other complications in that area. but i have perfect 20/20 vision, am average weight and could probably break a doorknob off on purpose if for whatever reason i had to. so what's up with both of those things? has my body adapted to the conditions? am i just built that way? is medical science wrong? wtf did i accidentally do to make my body so friggin cool?

Employer Called and Asked me to Be at Interview in 30 Minutes?

Ok I applied for a position about 2 weeks ago. Yesterday, while I was out and about, the hiring manager called me @ 150PM, and asked if i could be there about 220pm? of course I said yes. But the place was 20 minutes away, and I was not at home when they called me. The manager said she was about to go out of town, and if we did not do the interview now, than she would have to do it in 2 weeks. So i Just rushed up there. It's not a great position. I had on Kackie Shorts and Leather sandals. With a Black Polo shirt. I apologized for being under dressed and she said not to worry about it. Was this bad that I came looking like this? I was not dressed badly, I was wearing what I would normally dress like if I was going to play golf. Because that's what I was about to do when she called?

Did you use the "Your baby can Read" program? Are you going to?

Let your baby be a baby!!! I mean doesn't your child have the next 12+ years of its life to learn this kind of stuff? Enjoy the time that your baby can be a baby. Whats gonna happen if this so called "your baby can read" thing really works (highly doubt it) and your child does learn how to read at the age of one. Whats gonna happen at school when all the other normal kids are just learning to read. Your child is going to be bored out of its mind. My opinion though so don't take offense but I would not waste my money!

Has anyone else been diagnosed with neuropathy and gone through evoked potential, MRI, and EMG testing?

About 2 months ago I decided to see my primary care physician for numbness and tingling and pain in hands, feet, arms and legs. She had no answers, but sent me to a neurologist. The neurologist set up 3 rounds of testing, MRI, Evoked Potential and EMG, as well as a 2 month follow up appointment, and several rounds of blood testing. MRI showed an enlarged Pineal Cyst, Evoked Potential showed slow response of nerve set in hands and feet. The EMG showed carpal tunnel of the wrists. Due to the enlarged Pineal Cyst I was sent then to a Neurosurgeon who also used x-rays as a secondary method of testing. Today at my "follow up" I expressed that I am still in immense pain daily, have numbness and tingling in all limbs and have had terrible head aches and facial twitching, of which he prescribed Magnesium 250mg for "pain." His recommendation going forward is to continue taking Vitamin B12, and add Magnesium, do physical therapy and now go and see a rheumatologist as well as an opthamologist. Then back again in 6 weeks for a second "follow-up" appointment. All in all I feel these doctors are simply sharing the wealth by referring their peers to help determine a cause, which no one can seem to do...I am already at about $10,000 in "treatment" and have had 0 treatment. Thankfully my insurance is 80/20 or I may have had to declare bankruptcy, and still would have no results, and no treatment. Has anyone esle had any similar situations, and has anyone been given a realistic treatment plan and definitive diagnosis?

What is the best aid to Carpal Tunnel, besides slitting my wrists?

Chronic pain for far too many years to conclude anything less than a decade. Not quite a fan of surgery (hence the title, not EMO) but nothing seems to work. I have tried everything OTC, Physical therapy, Pain Management, etc. To say the least, is interfering with my daily life at the least. Outside of surgery (which I have heard from others isn't necessarily the permanent solution nor does it help permanently) what will help the most? Nerve blocks? Acupressure? Reiki? Paying to have prayers said over them weekly? Hell I'm ready for surgery (almost) at this point... Is affecting my ability to do my livelihood which equates to boo.

How can I help my 4 year old use her words in times of emotional distress?

My 4 year olds preschool teacher had a talk with me about my child, saying that yesterday at school she wailed and cried over every little thing. She said she was clingy and not following directions. I am a single mom and sometimes get fed up and irriatated with my child. I know that I have to be a good example for her but sometimes is hard. I'm also depressed and think she may catch onto it. How can I helpher talk through her problems and help her use words when she is upset instead of crying at every little thing? Nothing drastic has happened at home lately...I keep thinking it may be her allergies, lack of sleep or something else bothering her. Any advice please?

Why does Obama focus on a little white golf ball more than the US wars, jobs, economy, and law enforcement?

I calculate that 80 5-hour golf games is 400 hours, or 50 8hr work days! Add to that, about 500 1hr smoke breaks in his limo with Reggie Love...and you have another 65 days....so we have over 115 8hr work days of time that WE KNOW OBAMA WASTED! And, the US economy is the proof!

Me joining the boys high school golf team?

I'm going into high school this year and I'm really excited! I have a heart condition which does not allow me to play on sports teams, even though sports are what I'm best at. The only sport I can do is golf. I was looking through the activities booklet for my high school and they only have a boys golf team. I want to join it anyways. What I want to know is if they say I can't, because I'm a girl, is that illegal? And if there is an Internet link that says/shows that it's against the law to prevent me from joining a male high school sports team? Thanks!

Problems with a friend ? Plese help !?

The distance have something ro do with It but It's good that you guys still find ways to see each other and communicate. The best thing to do Is to tell her how you really feel and I know you said you talked to her before which I don't think you told her entirely how you feel like you did on here. Just let her know how important she is to you as a friend and you don't want that to change no matter what. Good luck!

My hands hurt help please?

I feel like I have weakness in my legs and possibly left arm?

I don't really know how to test for weakness. I can still walk around and such and can still use my arm..but it just doesn't feel right. I have been having headaches. I've had them my whole life but they're becoming more frequent and painful. I've been getting dizzy. I'm pretty sure the weakness is only in my left hand. Last light my left wrist started hurting really bad so I may have carpal tunnel. But idk about my legs. I haven't had anything to eat yet today. And my sleep pattern has been waayyy off this week. I haven't been getting the sleep I need. I have been having pain in my neck with the headaches. I'm pretty sure it's not stiffness cause I can move my chin to my chest with no pain. I'm getting a little concerned. I'm worried I have a brain tumor. My doctors have told me it's migraines and stress. I just worry cause I had a friend who had headaches and diarhea and nausea and missed periods and the dismissed it as stress also and she ended up collapsing and dying from a brain tumor. I don't know what to do. I've been to several doctors and they all tell me the same thing. I have normal blood pressure and I heard that's a good sign. And my headaches respond to over the counter meds and I heard that was a good sign as well. Please help me out. I'm very concerned.

Swollen thumb syndrome?

Well it depends on how severe it is. If you start to experience pain visit a doctor and see what they think. If they are just swollen and don't hurt that much ice your thumbs for about 15 minutes. Try to avoid activity with your thumbs for a day or two.

How do I get Carpal Tunnel if I hold my pencil differently?

I certainly hope not, since that's actually something I've been doing since I first started writing. I don't hold it the same way, but not correctly either.

Teenage joint pain? Read?

you should get tested for congenital connective tissue disorders (Marfan's syndrome, Ehlers- Dandlos syndrome) and SLE (Lupus). Your mom is wrong about the carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel is caused by compression of the Median nerve in your wrist.

My right arm is numb, anyone know what common cause is?

Last week (about 7 days ago) I noticed my arm when numb from the elbow down to my fingers. It feels like my arm is about to fall asleep. I have noticed on and off before this that my last two fingers, especially my pinky finger felt slightly numb. I made an appointment with my Dr, but could only see a nurse. She told me I might be getting Carpal Tunnel and to wear a brace at night and gave me prescription for Naproxen. The Naproxen does nothing but make me tired because of the higher dose and the brace is just uncomfortable and I don't think it's going to help. I am doing what she told me, but I am skeptical of her diagnosis without doing any blood work or scans how can she guess this is the problem? I don't have any pain.. just constant tingling and numbness. Any ideas what else I could try? I read that this could be a vitamin deficiency problem.. I don't know but I am going to go crazy if it doesn't get better soon.

Has anyone ever gotten physical custody switch?

My husband has a 60/40 split with his son, 60 being with his mom, we have him every other weekend friday to monday and every wed morning to thursday morning, shared holidays. We have many issues with her on and off, it really depends on her mood, over the past 2 years shes yelled at my husband in front of the child and called him names twice, lets her family disrespect him ( son would tell dad what certain people of her family calls him /'stupid/'), and 3 different occassions his grandmother would ask him why he was leaving and "i thought you didnt want to go to your dad?", his mom recently moved back with her parents so now the grandmother is trying to take control and tells me i need to have the same clothes on him when she picks him up, my step sons mom scheduled her vacations days based on taking our days (allowed 4 weeks a year) and 3 different occaissions we dont see him up to 3 weeks. She doesnt allow him to acknowlegde me as his step mother, (hes only 5, but very smart) he knows who his mom is and the difference between me and her. When his dad calls him she tells thier son to not take forever, and you can hear her in the background making jokes about him. One time she kept hanging up on him mid conversation. Everytime we call she always has him front of a video game and lets him continue playing while we are TRYING to talk to him. She does not communicate school events, we know when they are but she does not let us know if they will be going and will ignore the call until the event is over. We teach him to respect all people of his family but her side is different, they find it funny when he has outbursts, 5 yr old talks like a baby when he is around them. Is there anything about best interest of a child with a parent that will support the relationship of the other parent and not try to "win over" his attention, We want to parent together but it doesnt help if she wants to do everything her way. Also the mother use to live closer and we agreed to have him attend the same school he started preschool, She even already filled out the paperwork and turned it in so he is already registered but since she moved back with her mom she wants him to attend by their house, he will be playing sports by my house in fall and would be very conveinient to not go back and forth 25 min each. i do not agree with taking him out 1 week after school starts, we do have joint custody but what do i do if she moved? i still want him to continue to go to the school WE agreed on. Sorry i started my question but i have many

Hair question? NEED TO LEAVE REALLY REALLY SOON AND IT'S STILL WET?

Suspect that I have BPD...?

You should consult a psychiatrist; you may be narcissistic as well as being aspergers or some other personality disorder other than BPD. If your doctor is "baffled" get another better experienced doctor.

Very big, painful, hard bump in my breast. HELP.?

So I went to the clinic 2 weeks ago and they x-rayed my left breast and said they didn't find any mass and gave me painkillers. I was hoping it would go away, but now, it hurts even more than before and it feels as if the bump is getting bigger. I'm planning on going back but does anyone have any idea or has been in this situation before? It feels like a ball of hard tissue, probably the size of a golf ball, probably bigger.

Golfing tips NEEDED please!!!?

Ok so I'm 16 and started to golf for fun 2 weeks ago and I went to the driving range once and did alright all I care about is hitting the ball right now. Which is where I need help. In my yard probably a few times a day for like a half hour I go out with a 9 iron(closest to a wedge I have) and hit balls. I'm guessing 60% of the time I "top" the ball which is incredibly frustrating to chase the ball 10 feet and hit again, 20% of the time I take a chunk of dirt out before the ball without even touching the ball or just touching the ball with the side of the club and have it fly way left(I'm a lefty). 10% is that rare perfect hit. But that's only at first. If I can hold myself together and stay out there I hit more and more good hits until I get it almost everytime. Buttttt then the next time I cone out it's like in starting from scratch which is so frustrating because I know I can hit a good ball. I use the interlock grip and my pinky finger is getting a little sore but not bad. So is there anything to practice to keep doing good?? Cuz I just don't wanna be holding people up at the golf course and embarrassing myself

Do WOMEN have a desire for a MAN since CHILDHOOD ?

I didn't want a man in my life until after I hit puberty. When I watched Disney movies I wanted to be a princess, but I didn't care if I ever met a prince (at that point in my life). My favorite was Ariel because I loved to swim and thought being a mermaid would be awesome, silly girl gave that up for a man.

My wrist has been hurting for a few months off and on. What could be wrong?

For the past few months my wrist has been hurting off and on. It all started with me carrying a heavy trash bag and bending my wrist too far back. After about a week or two it cleared up. After a few more weeks my wrist started hurting again, so I wrapped it up with some gauze and rested it, which helped, and once again it stopped hurting. Finally within the past few weeks its started hurting again, even though I haven't really done much except for work. My dad thinks that it might be carpal tunnel, but it doesn't seem to match the symptoms. Does anyone have any idea what it could be? I'm still very young so I don't suspect Arthritis. Please help if you can!

When can my son start preschool exactly?

I think he would be considered in the 3's class, which preschool at this age really isn't necessary. I am basing this on the fact that he will be 4 on November 2012, correct? If so, then he has missed the 'cut-off' dates for school. Most kids do benefit form a part-time part-day preK program when they are 4, the year before they start public school. I think the Kindergarten cut-off is September 30th must be 5. We have two in our house with Oct/Nov b-days, and they started school much later, 5 going on 6. Contact your local school district, they have an Early Childhood Office that can help you more. Avoid 'preschool programs' that run as a full-time day care center. This is not what a 3 yr old needs, nor a preK4. Most good preschools are free-standing, and have been in business for years.

How are the liberals going to distract the American voters from Obama's record in the 2012 election?

By conducting a ruthless smear and burn campaign against the person(s) running against him. And lying egregiously about his "accomplishments". This will be the dirtiest nastiest political campaign ever. I am not looking forward to it.

Extreme wrist and knee pain?

What do you think of this article?

It's a strange and useless gender experiment. I have no problem with it, in theory, but the teachers already grew up being used to genders, so THEIR actions will influence things.

I have visual hallucinations?

I'm 18, female, and I've been hallucinating pretty regularly for as long as I can remember (like... preschool). I've never been on any drugs. It's everything from insects to plants where plants obviously can't grow to people just standing there to ridiculous things like Easter Island heads speaking foreign languages. It's only rarely ever been "scary" or "malicious", and I can always tell that it's not reality and consciously ignore it. Schizophrenia does run in my family, but, as this has never ever caused any of the "social" symptoms of schizophrenia, could that still be it? Should I go to a psychiatrist even though this hasn't ever really caused me any real functional problems in life?

Can my employer make me work from home with a medical excuse from work?

I have surgery scheduled for June for carpal tunnel release and a shoulder impingement. I have been experiencing a great deal of pain in my neck and left arm. My doctor found that I have now developed tennis elbow and tension in the neck. I was requested to seek physical therapy and take 2 weeks off of work. I have made appointments for physical therapy and pain management. My sales manager called to tell me he wants me to work from home and make my sales calls "20-30" per day via phone and complete my orders as usual by entering them in my computer. I am already struggling with pain and was hoping to be able to manage my medical issue with pain management. Sales in WI

Why do they do this?

A couple of years ago I transferred from private, Catholic school to the local public school. I just needed a better education than was offered at the private school. I haven't made ANY good friends since the switch and I really want to stop just hanging out with my parents on the weekends. The friends I had, ones i had grown up with and gone to school with since preschool, started ignoring me as soon as i transferred. It was like I was some kind of alien. They have not talked to me much since the transfer. The schools were only a block away so distance was not the matter. I haven't tried to ignore them. But I really want to know what made us grow apart? Could it have been something I did? Please don't tell me to 'buck up and ask them', they just ignore me. But i really want my friends back.

Is Obama gonna run on his record, or run from it?

you forgot porkulus 2, also put more Americans on food stamps than any other full term administration. VIOLATED his no lobbyist pledge in a HUGE way by bypassing lobbyists and going straight to the ceo of GE NBC MSNBC and CNBC for a CABINET POSITION. SQUELCHED ON THE ALL TROOPS OUT OF IRAQ PLEDGE.

Would this be hypochondriosis?

I'm having symptoms of carpal tunnel (and when I put on a wrist brace, I feel fine), but lately, every time I notice a pain, numbness, bruise, spot, lump, etc., I think I have cancer or something like that. I feel fine almost always, but I tend to freak and look up symptoms of various diseases when I notice something. Am I a hypochondriac?

How to make friends in high school?

I move a lot, probably every 2 years. This has been going on ever since way back when I was in preschool. I've never really had any close friends and it was always hard for me to make friends. I figured that I was going to go to the high school that all the friends I made were going to. I've never moved out of the district until now. I'm going to be a freshman next year and It's a new district which means I will know absolutely nobody there. I'm good at getting a conversation started but I never know how to keep it going. I also want to make guy friends because I've only had 1 and that's only because he was my brother's friend. Other than that, I would have to say, talking to guys is like major for me because I never know what to say.

Why does Obama incite violence with his followers?

Because 0bama wants total control he hates America and wants to purge our country of loyal morally upright Americans

Which golf clubs to upgrade?

Irons would probably benefit you the most, if you get the right ones. Approach shots are key shots, so I think those would be most important.

My right hand keeps tingling. my mom says it might be carpal tunnel. what should i do?

For the past week or so, both hands, but mainly my right, has been tingling and feeling like they have fell asleep. In my right hand, it gets tingly on the outside and inside of my lower arm, my palm, and all the way up to my finger tips. I play piano in a youth symphony and have noticed that lately I've had to press into the keys harder with my right hand because I can't feel them (if that makes sense). I also have noticed that I have a somewhat weaker grip then I did before. I think that its a mix between texting, playing piano, and catching myself when I fall with my right wrist. I'm a competitive figure skater,so, that happens a lot. What could it be? How should I got about getting rid of it? It doesn't hurt, its just super duper annoying.

Which spin doctor wedge would be the best of the 3 to buy?

(Before you answer I know they are not allowed in tournaments and are cheating. I dont take golf that serious. Just casually go with my friends.) I have the regular irons P-4 but do not have a sand, lob, or gap wedge. I am looking to buy one of the spin doctors because I can't get backspin on my shots close to the green. I would like to get one that would help the ball bite in and just stop where I shoot rather than roll back a lot.

Is there going to be a NFL season and Basketball season this year?

It would be horrible without football and basketball this year. Especialy for old men (36-40 men). All there would be is Hockey, Baseball, Golf.. Tennis.. And all that is (boring). I'm sure there going to have a NFL year because I think there almost done discusing it.

Does the person you're in a relationship with ever frustrate you sometimes but you still love them?

I can definitely see your frustration. Who doesn't love alone time with their other half? At the same time, 4 hours with his family while he golfs doesn't sound so bad. Use those 4 hours to get to know his mother better...if you guys are going to be together for the long haul, this would be a great opportunity for you to start building a relationship with his family.

What do I do in this situation? Need an answer by tomorrow?

My good friend who I have known since preschool told me he was in the Marines about a year ago. At first I believed him, so I was like oh that's so cool! And I just let it go. Well this summer he told me he was going to Iraq. Well I found out today that he was lying about everything because he said he got a general discharge and so I chilled with him today. However, my other friend asked me if he was alright because he isn't answering her texts. And I told her he's alright I chilled with him today,and she got all pissed because he sent her a message at like 10:00 saying he was still in Iraq. BUT, that's not possible because I chilled with him today. She was really hurt because her father was in the Marines and he passed away when she was a baby. So she was really mad. I plan on confronting him tomorrow about it, but I know for a fact it would lead to a fight because he gets very aggressive, but I don't want to fight him because 1) I would kill him in a fight 2) I don't fight unless I have to and 3) I've known him a LONG time. But a good friend wouldn't lie about going to war. So... What should I do

Why do keyboards have a health and safety warning?

Basically what people are saying are, there is always 1 idiot who tries to be smart and according to the laws the company can lose a lot of money, so that's why they do it. You know how you can buy an iPod dock and the box shows it with the iPod, but they legally have to do 'iPod not included'.

How can I answer these interview questions?

I have an interview at a call center tomorrow and so far my entire career has been as a preschool teacher. Obviously, they will ask me why I am switching careers. What is a professional way to say "The children are destroying my soul, and I am currently seeking a career where I can be taken seriously as an adult"?

Could my 4 year old be gifted?

He could be gifted or he could be academically motivated. Both types are high performers. I have known kids entering Kindergarten reading chapter books that don't qualify as gifted. Anyhow, just continue to provide him opportunities to grow in areas he is interested in. Doesn't sound as if he will struggle. Do keep in mind that gifted children do tend to lag behind in either social or emotional growth so don't overlook that.

Should I file for full custody of my son?

Do you think he is interested in me?

I'm going to a university in september. I went for orientation 4 days ago and I happened to find this guy who I really like. He was an orientation leader but is also a student at the university. I had to go to the housing office and my orientation leader couldnt take me then this guy happened to pass so my orientation leader asked him if he could walk me over there he said yes.My orientation leader just stood there and then he said she could leave. We were walking he said it was kind of a long walk and he wanted me to eat (it was lunch time) so he wanted to take a golf car we went and he asked me how was orientation I said good just a lot of information he laughed. we went and the keys weren't there so we had to walk which gave us more time to talk he told me about his family and I told him about mine also. He said he was a dancer and we started talking about dancing.does it seem strange he didnt even know me and talked about his family? then he left me all the way inside the housing office he waited for me there even sat next to me as i did all the paper work.then,he walked all the way inside the cafeteria as if he was waitting for me but i didnt know what to do bc he had his friends so i said pleasure to talk and went with mine.and when talking to me he never looked at me he looked down the floor does this mean he's shy or just not interested? and now I found this guy on facebook idk wether to add him or not.should i add him online? or hes just not interested on me and i shouldnt add him?

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Okay. So about a month and a half ago I bought 2 grams of blue dream weed from a friend. I smoked it a few times and I loved it. So then one day I had a baseball game and i got mad at my dad who is a coach and I threatened to not go to the game if he didn't do something and he didn't so he left and I stayed home. I was extremely mad at him so I decided to smoke some of my blue dream. I rolled a joint and smoked it. It was a pretty decent size and I took probably 15-20 decent rips which is a lot. I walked inside and was doing homework and then it kicked in. I went outside and it felt like I was dead literally. I was tweaking so bad so I called a friend and he came over. When he was on his way I went inside. I started to walk up my stairs and I saw an un-describable picture in my head. I kept walking and all of the sudden everything went blurry and super fast motion and I laid down. I couldn't control anything - what I was doing, saying, etc. I kept seeing pictures in my head and also numbers. It looked like it was a movie in front of me and i can only describe it as it looked like my childhood for some reason. My eyes would just look at a few things and then fixate on a random thing. It was the scariest thing I have every experienced in my life. I can't really explain it anymore. So anyway, a few nights ago I snuck out with my friend, his girlfriend, and also a friend who is a girl. So we were on a golf course and we decided to go somewhere else so we all stood up but I was a little behind. I popped a piece if mentos gum into my mouth. I few seconds after my mouth and throat went as dry as they've ever been. I tried to scream to them but i couldn't out get anything out. I leaned over and tried to talk. One of my friends turned around and said dude are you okay. I couldn't talk still. It lasted for about 15 seconds if no breathing. But while I was "choking" I saw the same things I saw when I tripped really bad and that was over a month ago. My eyes fixated on things the same way as before. So then I told my friends what happened. I told my guy friend about the incident that happened because he smokes weed too. We decided to go into one of my friends car and just sleep. Then when I woke up me my friend went home. So now it has been a few days and sometimes I feel like life is fake. It feels like a dream and everytime I think about life not being real I totally zone out. I feel high all of the time. I eat a lot, and enshrine I start talking to someone I forget what I am saying. And when I do something I don't remember what I am doing. I have a terrible memory now. absolutely terrible. And like I said before, if I ask the question to myself, "is life real" I feel like I am in a dream and everything is fake. I just want to go back to normal like. Please help me!!! Also keep in mind that I haven't smoked weed for 13 days because I got caught. Please help!

EMG test on arms for Carpal Tunnel, now what?

I wish I could tell you what's wrong with your arms, but I can't. I've had the nerve conduction test done for carpal tunnel, but I actually had carpal tunnel. I don't know how many doctors you've seen about it, but when it comes to chronic pain like that, sometimes you have to keep searching until you find a doctor that will actually research the cause. A pain management clinic might help you, so I'd at least check it out.

I found a large lump in my breast that is getting bigger...?

A few months ago I noticed a rather large lump near the top of my right breast. I have recently lost about 50 lbs and thought maybe the change in shape could just be from weight loss. I also considered that since I had been working out that maybe it was just muscle that had developed. The lump has seemed to grow in size and is now a little bigger than a golf ball. At times it is tender to the touch and feels much different than my left breast. I know I should go to the Dr but I currently don't have insurance. I start a new job with medical benefits in a couple of months and was hoping to put off a Dr's visit until then. My main concern is going in.. finding out I have cancer... and then not being able to get coverage because of being labeled "previous condition" I really don't want to worry my family or friends so I haven't really mentioned it to anyone. I want to be sure before I put them through any of that. I'm afraid of waiting to long to go but more afraid of being a burden to my family.

Volkswagen Golf estate - can't open tailgate?

I have a 2001 Volkswagen Golf estate, which I've owned for about 6 months. For the last couple of weeks, I've been unable to open the tailgate. I think the catch is electronically operated, but as the tailgate is stuck shut, I'm unable to access the catch to rectify the problem. I'm unable to unlock the tailgate conventionally by using the key, as there is something jammed in the barrel of the lock. This has been the case since I bought the car, but wasn't a problem at the time as the tailgate's catch worked perfectly well on the central locking. Also, I've checked all the fuses, and they seem fine. Can anyone help?

Can I get into Texas A & M or Baylor?

I'm going into my senior year. Our gpas are on the 6.0 system, but my counselor helped me convert it and I am a 3.0 to 3.1 gpa. This coming year im taking AP statistics, governmemt and environmental science. Going to a somewhat conservative school is very important to me. My sat scores are math : 520 writing: 560 and critical reading : 540 but im taking it again ( I know baylor superscores the sat) I just took my ACT so no score yet, but I took it in 7th grade since I was in the duke tip program with no calculator and not knowing the math and made a 15 composite. I was a varsity swimmer two years, varsity water polo one year and dance team two years. I am in the health science slc and was in health science technology. I have 2 years lifeguarding and one year nannying. I am in trooper school, two years. Its a preschool amd im a teacher and make lesson plans and have to be interviewed to make it. I was also a volunterr swim coach for two years... I need to add up the hours its alot. I also used to read to kids at my library. My high school is very competitive at the beginning of jr year I was in the top 36% my grades were best this year and so hopefully when they release new rankings i'm under top 33% so I would be top third. What do you think my chances are of getting in. also tamu's dorms fill up quickly, so since I am not automatically accepted and wouldnt know until march would I have a good or bad chance of getting a dorm? Thanks!

Flirting a lot with my closest friend?

I personally think that she likes you and maybe you should explore having a real relationship with her if that's something that you want. It's a really sticky situation though you have to decide if it's worth potentially ruining your friendship, or if worth taking the chance that she could be something more to you then just a friend. Great relationships are built on friendships but that's a decision that only you can make.

Numbness, needle like tingling and pain in right hand?

I have had carpal tunnel release surgery in February. I now have all the numbness, tingling and pain again but it goes up my arm to the shoulder. The symptons are always there but at times are so unbarable. My hand doc said it's not from carpel tunnel because i have the symptons in my pinky finger also, which is a nerve that is not connected to the rest. Any possibilities of what it could be?

Is this carpal tunnel?

I am 25 yrs. old and have been a dog groomer for 5 years. Back in November 2010, I had an injury to my hand while at work. I was combing out a dog, which is very repetitive and had shooting pains in my left hand through the middle of the wrist. Since then my left hand has about 50% of the strength that the right one does. I have numbness in both hands at night. My left forearm is constantly swollen. I also have two very small ganglion cysts on my wrist. I experience a cramp like pain in my hand often while I am at work. I was sent to have the needle EEG test for carpal tunnel and my results came back as normal. I am also currently taking 15mg of Meloxicam once a day for the inflammation. Could this still be carpal tunnel? I am awaiting another appointment with my orthopedic doctor. Thanks in advance for your help.

Need help with an activity for preschool children.?

Im a childcare student and i got to do a creative activity for preschool children that is creative and that's apart of the curriculum. The problem is the theme has to be about "under the sea" -so sealife and all that-, and i have not a clue on what i should do that is simple enough for them to do. Any ideas or activities a teacher has done in the past would be brilliant.

Is there something wrong with my arm?

Whenever I grip something tightly the middle of my arm aches, as in if the bone is split or cracked. I know it's not carpal tunnel because that's in the fingers. Is this just a muslce cramp or is there something else wrong? Iv told my dad about I but he said it's nothing to worry about (he studied business :P ) I'm 14, could this be because of hormones? The pain gets REALLY bad, and lasts for about 5 minutes. Anything would help :)

What would be a fair hourly fee for babysitting/preschool in Mississippi?

I live in Mississippi and will have an elementary education degree, but I want to have this to fall back on since jobs are so scarce these days. I also have the crazy dream to start a preschool while babysitting (not sure if an elementary degree would be adequate or if I need an early childhood degree). Anyways, I know based on where I live, the fee would be toward the lower end of the spectrum. I was thinking charging 6-7 dollars an hour, but when I added it up per day per week, it just seems so much...what would you be willing to pay per hour? per day? or per week? I understand different people will have different days they need a sitter and I'm accounting for five full days which is not likely to be the case with every child, but I just want to be fair about the price. Thank you very much!

The HS i'm going to, High school for law enforcement and public safety (on guy brewer boulevard) says that uniform is required. thing about that is that i have been wearing uniform my whole time in school since preschool.

P.S I didn't choose this hs, i was placed in it after an appeal.

Should a small business that is cash rich, pay the $5000 deductible for one its employees having carpal tunnel?

Absolutely! $5,000 is a very low price to pay, given that the company would likely have to pay a lot more if the employee decided to sue for such a job-related injury. $5,000 may very well be the difference in being sued and not being sued. Not paying could indeed be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Will the ligaments in my wrist tighten up?

When i deviate my left wrist from side to side the ligaments im assuming cause a carpal bone of some sort to slip out and my wrist clicks on it when i return to normal position. i was wondering if the tightening of the ligaments will stop this clicking and if it is even possible to do so without surgery. i am also 14 years old if that info helps at all. thank you.

How to treat carpal tunnel syndrome by myself?

i started noticing the symptoms today. don't ask how i got it :( it's kinda embarrassing. and that's why i'd like to treat myself without surgery as soon as possible. it's best if my mom, whose health insurance im on, and who can be a tad overbearing, condescending and mean about these matters doesn't get involved. i'm typing this with the other hand. i heard about a massage that can help, can i do that on myself? symptoms are not too bad yet, they come and go, and it doesn't impair the function of the hand. at the moment it does not hurt but it's a bit tingly in my 3 center finger tips. i hope i don't need surgery. that would be really embarrassing.

What are some ideas for game prizes! Need to know ASAP!?

Okay, so I'm going to be going to my cousins house tomorrow! I am staying for two weeks. We are planning to have a skeeball championship, some poker, mini golf tournament, board games, etc. I need some ideas for prizes, such as a small candy. Keep the ideas PG, and we will not play for money. Try to be specific; "Play for food" isn't going to help me lots. Try suggesting a specific type of food. Try to think of something that can be purchased at a dollar store, or is real cheap....not buying any cars.

Does your childs daycare, preschool or school have a lot of $$$ extras?

I agree its not a good idea, but the school has to get the money from somewhere. I always pay for my kids to have those extras, and then i donate the school's fund, too. (which actually annoys me because I'm paying extra for his kindergarten which is already $25,000 a year) but what i try to remember is that it's not going to change and that the least i can do is pay for my kids.

About every couple months my wrist hurts really bad. The pain is on the outside of my right arm; from the elbow to my whole wrist and it makes my thumb, fingers, and knuckles hurt really bad, and the pain shoots up to my shoulder once in a while. Sometimes my hand/fingers are kind of numb and tingle rarely. Im 14 so I don't know if im too young for carpal tunnel but I play piano, trumpet, guitar, ride horses so I use my hands alot! But my right arm/hand only does this every couple months so I don't know what to do.

Why are the tips of my fingers tingling?

Ever since I let go of the top pole in the metro (to hold my balance), my hand went numb and my fingers started to tingle. You know the tingling feeling you get after your foot or leg regain feeling after numbness? I don't know what it is or why it is happening. Can anybody explain. My dad said it might be carpal tunnel. Mom says it might be that there is no circulation. I don't believe so because I don't go on the computer that much, plus, I think my hand has gotten plenty of circulation during the days that have gone by after this incident.

My dog has a torn paw pad. Help?

I am not a vet, but it has happened to my dog before. Personally, what I did, was same thing, wrapping, cleaning, socks. But I didn't have money to go to vet, so I told my dog to guard, my bed. That way she laid on her side the whole time. And I had her do her bathroom in special box. That way she didn't walk at all. I know its silly, but I dissolved cough candy in water and wet her paws, it seemed to ease her pain a little bit, maybe because of the menthol's cooling effect. She was a poodle, and she could walk without visible limping after 5ish day. If your dog listens to you, then you can do the same thing. I hope this helps a little bit.

They need to be punished. Don't let them go to the concert. Either try selling then or give them to kids who know how to behave. Your daughters are old enough to know how to respect people. They need to understand that they can't get away with acting like a brat.

What is Barry's plan to reduce the $14.3 trillion deficit which he helped to create?

Barry seems to have more problems than you can shake a stick at these days! There's rising unemployment and a growing misery index. Now, he adds $3 trillion to the national debt and proceeds to then play rounds of golf and yell at Republicans for not cleaning up after him, as if it were their fault we are about to default and descend into the third world.

I am 20yrs old and since I was in preschool I have had a phobia of food. I never used 2 be able to even touch any foods but now I have gotten alot better with that.

First it kind of surprises me the eye doctor couldn't give you a better answer. However, I am wondering if it is more of a visual sensory thing and part of his sensory processing disorder- not a vision thing. There are therapists who will do vision therapy.

Should I be mad I'm a year behind?

No you shouldn't be mad. Everything happens for a reason and you cant change the past. Your age isn't uncommon for your grade. I was 18 during my senior and so was the majority of the senior class. You'll be able to tell all your friends that you're legal and they are not. It doesn't sound like you're that far behind. Is your birthday late? That may have something to do with it. In general, getting upset over a situation as silly as this is plain foolish. Most people are 18 when they graduate hs.

Try alternating ice and heat on the forearm between the wrist and elbow where it hurts, 15 to 20 minutes on for each, then alternate for a few reps a couple of times a day. Do the stretches after the last heat application morning and evening. If the pain and other systems continue or worsen after a few days, see your medical professional.

Am I suffering from hypothyroidism?

Hi. The key to curing eczema, psoriasis and rosacea is specific attrition of infected cells. Have a look at my blog at a href="http://eczemafix.blogspot.com." rel="nofollow"http://eczemafix.blogspot.com./a Here you will find a therapy, strategy for cure and 2 cures (mangosteen pericarp poultice and 4 days at a warm beach). There may be other cures such as mud bath, sulfer bath/mineral baths (these are untested by me by theoretically possible).

Lines under eyes!! Home remedies!!?

I know i posted this question already but i just thought of home remedies. I just woke up and bam theres these little lines under my eyes. Could it be allergies? My allergies have been crazy. Im getting enough sleep drinking plenty of water good everything. Im putting tea bags and moisturizer and it helped a lil bit. Ive had them before when i was playing golf during spring but went away. So do you have any cheap good osm home remedies? There not that noticeable. Thanx!

Hypothyroidism... Am I crazy? Or convince the doctor?!?

My hypothyroidism was very tricky. I even had a test come back normal even though my levels were crazy. I'd say either find a new doctor (because yours doesn't seem very good) or contact and endocrinologist. I was convinced I had hypothyroidism even though people didn't believe me! So after you find a decent doctor you'll probably be wondering about medication. I have to take one pill a day and have regular blood tests to check my levels. Its really not as difficult to treat as it is to diagnose! Until then just take things one step at a time :)

Wrist and pinky finger pain?

About 2 days ago my wrist started hurting when i moved it in a certain way, the pain is on the side of my wrist (the side where my thumb is) and also goes up into my palm. Then today i noticed the fact that my pinky finger keeps locking up, and i can't keep it straight. It doesn't hurt but its weird cause i can't keep it straight up and when i try to straighten it, it's hard and it feels like it is locked or something. I don't really know how to explain it but i have no idea what to call it. My mom said it might be carpal tunnel but i don't have pain in my thumb and fingers, just the fact my pinky wont straighten.

What do we do about those welfare recipients?

I think that we should cut them all off of the system, I mean most of them are lazy people that want to be moms but don't want to inconvenience themselves with a job to take care of them. I know how it works I was on welfare but I moved up in life got a good job and married a man that makes over 75k a year and now we live a very comfortable life. Now I drive a 2011 2011 volkswagen cc and we have a nice house. I also can afford to send my daughter to a good preschool without the help of the tax payers.

Ideas for a lesson plan for preschool children for a job interview?

I am interviewing with a preschool and for the interview they want me to write up a lesson plan and present it to a small group of children. I'm totally stumped on ideas. I'm looking for something relatively short (10-15 minutes) that's not messy and since it's very short, something that doesn't require a big long introduction. I would appreciate any help!

Why do i have so many medical problems?

There probably isn't an answer for this....but I'm going to ask anyway. So ill start you off with the facts that im only 15 and im a girl. Just these past months i have been hit with all these medical problems, not to mention depression. So, i guess ill just list the medical problems i can think of (i cant remember stuff anymore). Alright, i have carpal tunnel syndrome, hip dysplasia, my right socket is too deep but my hip like doesn't go in all the way, my hips dislocate then relocate themselves, labral tear, scoliosis, anxiety (i get panic attacks sometimes and whatnot), iron deficiency, very low vitamin D, mono, hypothyroidism, a polyp on my gallbladder (i have to have surgery in a couple weeks), ingrown toe (they had to remove parts of my toenail twice. They stuck a 4 inch needle in my toe 5 times), my knees are not aligned right, ADD, migraines, cataracts, and im still waiting for some test results they had to take 8 vial's of my blood. I have other symptoms: zapping like sensations in my head, mild to severe pain in the upper right corner like under my right rib cage, mild to severe (usually severe) pain in the area under my belly button, when i go to the bathroom, its really painful because that's usually when the pain under the belly button is the worst and it feels like something is tugging from the inside. My bones always hurt i.e. my arms, fingers, thighs, hips, especially my knees and the tibia or whatever that is. I also havnt had a big appetite. And im so tired all the time most of the time i dont even have enough energy to open a door. Sooo yeah. Haha. I have a lot on my plate. I'm sorry if it seems like im a being a baby or im full of myself or whatever. I usually don't complain about these things but i just really want to know why all this is going on, and why all of the sudden? And im actually not overwhelmed, everyone thinks i am but im not. Im not scared either. Im just tired. Well, im scared about the surgery. But thats it. So, anyway, id just like to hear your opinions on why i have so many medical problmes. Thank you. (:

When will my voice come back?

Only one way is that you need to see ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat) doctor and they can help you to find out why it causes with your voice issue. There can be many reasons why it became problem for you.

How do I submit my questions telepathically?

Is there any way to direct my thought waves to my computer screen, convert it to numbers and symbols, then sendarooni said thoughts to the fine folks at YA? If I could perfect this arguably rare skill, then I wont even need a computer, internet connection, or an even IP address. Heck, it would even prevent the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome. So, can anyone help me with this potentially Nobel Prize/James Randi prize winning idea?

Carpal Tunnel - Numbness in neck?

I was diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The pain and numbness in my arms at night doesn't bother me at all compared to the numbness in my neck. It is so uncomfortable I can't fall asleep and I wake up every couple hours. My Doctor told me it is normal to experience numbness and pain in neck with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, but I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if they found relief of it in any way.

Is 77 games of golf a lot within a 2 year period for a very busy man with so much to do?

There are 104 weekend days a year in addition to 17 Federally recognized holidays a year, which comes to 242 days off in that period, not counting vacation days, so golfing 77 times on the 242 days off comes out to golfing on 32% of his days off, or approximately 1/3 of his days off which is not too bad for a hobby for a busy, stressed out guy. If Michele, Sasha, and Malia have no problem with it, what business is it of yours, partisan troll?

Sexism??? Gender discrimination? Sexual harassment?

My husband told me about something that happened with his boss today. He works in a head start program as a preschool paraprofessional. He and a female teacher have about 20 preschool students. Today his boss told him (in front of the female teacher) that he shouldn't read to the kids anymore but instead let the female teacher read to them because kids like it better and respond better when a woman reads. I was furious when he told me this because I don't think it is right. Is this okay for her to do? I think it seems like gender discrimination and possible sexual harassment. What should my husband do? Is this okay?

Pregnancy question(s)?

I used to be a SAHM, then hubby's company closed(he put up cell phone towers/construction). So he took a job at the same place I am working. I am working 8.5-9 hrs day and a 40-45 hr. work wk. Hubby works full time too. We have other children at home. Youngest is 2yrs old. We literally work separate shifts so kids don't need a sitter. He gets home at 4 and I head out the door to work. Hubby wanted me to quit, but we do need the money. I am due in Sept. I'm only 24wks. I have had a few complications with my pregnancy. I sit at a desk(not allowed to put my feet up). Having lower back pain and my feet look like pillows they swell so bad. Dealing with carpal tunnel, I have wrist braces. Should I ask dr. to cut me back to 4.5 hr days vs. 8.5-9hrs. Would this really make a difference? Will my work allow it? Would dr. be willing to do this? Hubby thinks with the money we'd save in gas, headaches, etc.. It would be easier for me to stay at home. I don't. I think I should tough it out until at least 8 months.

Why am I so frustrated with my mother?

I think your mom might not be good at getting into things too much. Maybe thats why your parents are divorced? But I think you should talk to her and tell her it's a good idea to get the car and how good the deal it. Tell her that everything will be okay and you will help her in anyway you could, Hope this helps-

Carpal Tunnel Relief Advice?

I had numbness and tingling in my fingers. At night it would wake me up, and my whole arm would be numb but hurting at the same time. I'd have to get up and shake my arm to get the feeling back. I had it in both hands also, so if it wasn't one side keeping me up, it was the other. Sleeping in wrist splints sometimes helps. They keep your wrists straight. Elevation, heating pads, and pain meds really did nothing for me because the nerve is compressed. That's what causes the problem. Eventually I had bilateral carpal tunnel surgery. Best thing I ever did. I had one hand done, and then the other. Had the surgery on Thursday, went to work on Monday. Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be, and the relief was immediate.

How to help a friend with possible Vicodin Addiction?

You are right in believing that she is becoming dependent on the Vicodin. These type of drugs are for the management of short term pain, not chronic long term pain. Three years is a ridiculously long time to be taking them and 6 a day is definitely excessive. You are a good friend to be concerned for her and would not be overstepping any boundaries by going to the Doctor with her. I am not sure that telling the family is necessary at this stage since she will probably consider that a betrayal. Let the Dr. know she is taking 6 a day, he is probably prescribing three or four a day. 800 mg. of ibuprofen may help her pain while she slowly reduces her Vicodin dosage. Tell the Doctor that you will help her wean off the medication and offer to help with her husband so she can have the surgery. Be compassionate and empathetic but stay strong. She really needs you right now and the Doctor will probably be thankful for your help.

I've liked her since preschool. but i don't know what to do?

There is this girl i've liked since preschool and she used to be one of my sister's best friend. Now she's not but I still like her but I feel like she barely knows that I exist now. How do I get her to notice me other than the obvious 'walking up and talking to her' because im extremely shy.

With another week of 400k+ jobless claims"12 in a row" will obama do anything or will he just play golf?

He will arrogantly talk some useless garbage about creating jobs and he thinks we're stupid enough to believe his lies. OK, many still believe them, but they are not the ones who want jobs. He is the stupid one if he thinks we buy his garbage, and we will show him when it's time to vote.

Has anyone actually purchased the Preschool in a Box by Joy Anderson?

I am sure if you want to open a preschool you do not need to buy a box of pre planned materials when you work for a preschool they have curriculum you learn to individualize about each child and do observation and make a lesson plans we learn this on the job, you cannot use pre planned materials because everything is child choice and not staged, you provide large group activities, small group what are you adding to the environment etc, different children need different things, this would not work for you depending on your children served, talk to teachers in child development at your local Junior college or university and anyone will tell you this.

My wrist really hurts....carpal tunnel?

That's odd. Maybe your brother told him a scary story, or maybe he thought he saw something. Kids have active imaginations, he could have imagined something scary.

Do I have carpal tunnel?

If you go to the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Homepage there are some exercises that you can to do to help alleviate the pain. It you start to have numbness/tingling in the right finger and or the little finger then see a doctor. Often times, for some people minor surgery is needed. The only way you can really know if you have Carpal Tunnel is to see a Doctor and have a nerve conductive study to see if the nerves in your wrist are firing properly.

What to do? I'm competitive.?

I just feel incredibly upset and disappointed in myself right now. I'm in a golf class, and i don't want to be vain or arrogant. But people would consider me as one of the best in class. I have two new golf buddies, one whom i'm always trusting, and the other, not sure about. But recently we've been practicing, and they've been getting better. I feel like i've let my guard down, and i'm not as almighty as i used to be. I've been practicing with my trusted buddy. The other, she's been practicing more, and people have said she's jealous of me and what not. (sorry if i'm seeming arrogant or whatever.) I just feel like i'm out of the running, and not the best anymore. This may not seem like a big difference, but their golf clubs are up to date. So i feel like with my knock down clubs i'm not performing as well as i am. We all tied today, and we decided to play from the black tees, we got bogeys. But i just feel SOO incredibly upset that i tied. Yah, you could definitely say i'm competitive and jealous. I just don't know what to do to rid of this feeling. I've been in my golf level for about a year, and i'm about to go to the next level. I just want to be the best, but idk. Am i overreacting? Please help and make me feel better. ;)
