  • Severe pain under right lower ribs. Please help!?

    For a few months, Ive been having off and on pains under my ribs on the right hand side. They have progressively became worse. It wakes me up at night, a sensation like a vise squeesing me really hard two or three times in a row, making it impossible to breath. Ive woken up from a dead sleep, sitting upright and nearly yelling out from the sensation. Tonight has been the worst so far. I cannot sit up or stand up straight. I cannot lay down without extreme pain. It hurts to breath in and out and it feels like its spreading over to the left side. I am waiting for my husband to come home so I can go to the ER but I was wondering if anyone had any idea what could be wrong.

    I am 26.

    Galbladder has been removed several years ago (its always been sore in this spot since then)

    I have had hep. A in 2002 (Note: wash hands if you eat at farmers markets)

    I have been having pretty bad swelling in my left foot and ankle (Doctor said its nothing to be worried about)

    Last blood work done a few months ago when this started and I went to go see the doctor, Said my liver enzymes were elevated and they did an ultrasound and bloodwork, but its been a call tag game to get the results back yet.

    Does anyone have any Ideas?

  • Late term Cat pregnancy question.?

    We adopted a cat and were told she was spayed. Clearly not now that she is showing a pregnancy a month after we got her. Ive never owned a cat before and wasnt planning on kittens. Swagger, is im guessing, 7-8 weeks into pregnancy. Her belly is big and round and you can easily feel the kittens kicking and rolling inside of her belly. Her nipples are enlarged, pink and the back two can be expressed, the two glands up from those are filling, but nothing comming out yet. There is no discharge yet from her "lady parts" but it does seem slightly enlarged. She has not been seeking out anywhere to nest. at all, just lays sprawled out on the back of our couch sleeping all day.

    From experienced cat breeders, or those who have seen a lot of kittens being born... How far does my cat sound along to you?

  • Feather Destruction- Cockatoo owners help!?

    I have a 13 yr old female U2.

    I bought her mid summer.

    She is a previous show bird, fully feathered, well adjusted and a complete cuddle bug. Previous owner kept her on seeds and Ive been able to switch her fully onto zupreen fruity pellets with maybe half a hand full of seeds. For the 6 months ive had her, she has refused fruits and veggies 3x a day and I still offer them. She does not play with toys or chew them. (they are offered)

    Over the past 3 weeks she has developed a habbit of taking her left foot and gripping either her tail feathers or her left wing, and twisting it around the feathers. Half of her wing feathers are completely destroyed now and her tail is getting there. She does this when I put her back in her cage for bed, all other times she is with me or playing on her jungle gym.

    I am at a loss on what to do. Ive never had a bird destroy their feathers in this way before, and dont really know how to get her to stop when she is doing it at night. Any experienced cockatoo owners out there have any suggestions?

  • Has anyone ever seen this? Video!?

    I have a 13 yr old umbrella cockatoo named Zoe. For the last several years she has picked up a habbit I can only describe as "gooing". She normally does it when she is chillin' in her cage or nice and relaxed while spending time with me. She has seen an avian vet every 6 months for checkups, and i never brought it up and the vet never said anything was wrong with her.

    She sits and plays with what looks like a big string of spit, making chewing motions and then opening her beak up wide and making a soft hissing noise, like shes hacking up more spit.

    Does anyone else's birds do this behaivior? Please include websites if you can find anything.

  • Chest pain, Belly pain, Under right shoulder pain, Nausea.?

    I am 25. F.

    Experiencing chest discomfort in the middle of my chest between my breasts. Feels like a fullness or someone sitting on my chest. This discomfort travels straight through to my back right under my right shoulderblade where it turns into pain. My stomach is hurting, right above my belly button. My feet and ankles are swelling and my left arm and face keeps going numb. I feel faint, almost like my whole body is just numb to everything. I have that whole "Something just isnt right" feeling.

    My doctors office is out to lunch, and the pain in my belly is about unbearable. Ive gone to the hospital before for this pain and they just send me home saying they cant find anything. Has anyone experienced this, or suggest what to do? I can wait another half hour for the dr. office to open, or drive 45 minutes to a hospital.

    And its not gallbladder issues, had that removed 5 years ago.

  • How can I make my husband get a job?!?

    Situation: Both of us are unemployed and have been for the last two years. At first it was the job market, we moved into the basement apartment of his mothers home. We have 4 children. I get an unearned income of 1200/month to support us.

    I am unable to work due to medical conditions, more than an hour or two upright causes me severe pain.

    I have asked and asked and asked nicely for 2 years for him to get another job so we can move out and stop paying for his mother and 5 of her grandchildren she has pushed off on us. Our vehicle broke down a few months ago, so now husband uses the excuse "Well, I dont have a car so I cant get a job. and I need money to get a car."

    His mom is willing to let him use her car, but he refuses.

    his day is spent playing online games every minute of his day. Im at the end of my rope. I dont know what to do. I find jobs for him to apply to, places to call, and he wont do it and im not about to fill everything out for him.

    Anyone have any ideas?

  • Is ohio connections academy considerd homeschooling?

    I am fed up with my childs school and will be withdrawing them immediantly after an incident last week with my kindergarteners teacher. I asked for my child to be moved to a new class or school district since MANY people have had problems with the same teacher and I was told by the principal "I dont think moving the child is the right choice" and the superintendant said there was no open enrollment. My choice is either homeschool or Move. We are in the process of moving (in 3 more weeks) Ohio connections academy is an free online public school. Will enrolling my child in this be considerd the same as home-schooling? Ive look everywhere I can online and cant seem to find the answer to that.

  • What are my legal rights as a parent?

    On the 21'st, I received a call from the school about my youngest son who is in kindergarten. They said he had a Flea in his hair and needed to be brough home and given a nice clean bath and be flea free. We brought him home, could not see any flea in his hair but proceeded to do as the school instructed. Now, Living in the midwest (ohio) this time of year can be hell if you have a dog. Fleas are horrible and flea meds can barely keep them off our dog... none the less, I sprayed, washed the dog, treated the carpets.. everything to make sure this didnt happen again. Today I got a call from CPS, concerned about a flea infestation in my house. I am completely floored by this. My son has no flea bites, fleas or anything on him. we keep a clean house. We have had problems with this certain teacher before.. and I want my children transfered out of that school to a different one. I went to the principal today to ask about getting my son put into another school nearby and she brushed me off, saying that transfering my children is not the right answer for this situation. I left and went back home.

    I just want my kids out of that school and into another city school close by. I dont really know what my rights are or who to call to get this taken care of. Anyone have any suggestions?

  • Negative pregnancy test and pregnant?

    Okay.. Ive hear of this happening, but never thought I would be going through it. I havent had a period since september 10th. I have taken 3 tests since the begining of october. 2 have been negative and 1 was faint line(second test). This should put me around 16-17weeks if I am pregnant.

    I have been feeling flutterings along my pelvic bone line to midway to my belly button and tender breasts. I dont mind if im pregnant, but I have a tendancy to have very very bad braxton hicks. last night I would feel in my lower tummy a stretching sensation and it made me think of having them again. I will be making an appointment next week since ive been feeling these things over the weekend.

    HOWEVER...

    I know people can have false negatives. Has this happened to anyone 3-5 months along? does hgc diminish over time? If you have any links to occurances like this, it would be REALLY helpful.

    Thank you in advance.

  • Sexlife crossroads, whats wrong with me?

    ((Im sorry if this is the wrong category, just dont know where else to list it))

    Im 25,f.. engaged for 5 years. 4 kids with the same man. Been with the same man for 9 years. We had both been happy with having a fairly boring life in the sheets (at least he has been happy) Recently over the last year, ive been wanting to experiment.

    Things I have done that has seriously put my relationship in trouble.

    1) Found a Girlfriend. She and I have been best friends and I went to visit her in febuary and we both had our first bi experiences together. Ive visited her a total of 17 days since then.

    2)Had a Gor style rpg and became too attached to my master. He asked me to call him one night and I did so. My fiance went through my phone and found some txts. this went on for 8 months this year. I confessed everything to my fiance and never talked to my master again.

    I know its not anything major compaired to what some people do.. But now im wanting to experiment. I want to try a threesome with another guy. I am turned on by gangbang, rape, and orgy porns now. Im becoming curious with zoophilia.

    What the hell is wrong with me? Everything used to be fine in my sex life and now suddenly im craving to have or try these things. Do women go through stages like this? will this stuff go away?

    Ive talked to my man about trying new things, maybe getting a threesome with a girl or anything he would be interested in but I get the "Not on your life" speech.

    Has anyone else been through this too?

    I understand that some may think me selfish... But I just want a good sexlife and I have ran out of options in trying to get my guy accepting of anything other than a quick 15 second missionary with no forplay (Not joking, sexlife seriously sucks that bad and he gets jealous of toys so those are out of the question).

    What can I do? Has anyone been through this as well? advice?

    In the last few years ive been introduced into the Gorean lifestyle by a close gf of mine who practices it with her husband. Ive never been a big "fad" follower, but this is something im seriously interested in commiting to. My personality is perfect for it, but the only problem I am having is how to get my own husband to understand what gor is. I have tried and he consistantly confuses it with a pure sexual/bdsm thing and for those of you who know what gor is, its so much more than that. How can I help him to understand what im into?

  • Should I leave my bf/fiance/husband?

    I am 24. Ive made a lot of mistakes(as most people would see it) in my life. I have 4 children by two different men. 5+5 twin boys, 2 yr old and 1 yr old girls. I wouldnt trade having them for anything in my life so please dont judge about my family size

    Somedays I want to leave... most days i want to go.

    About us:

    I have known "him" since i was 15. He was my first guy, and I was his first girl. We had dated for a few years and everything was absolutly perfect until he cheated on me right before christmas one year. I had always told him, I never give second chances and I dropped him like a rock. Several months later I met someone who was 15 years my senior. I was young and stupid and thought i was in love again. Long story short, i got pregnant with my boys and didnt find out until i was 4 months along (thought i was just missing my period and was getting fat). He wanted me to abort them. I said hell no. i lived with him unhappily for two years until I moved back home and moved in with "him". we had remained friends throughout everything and we didnt have a problem. I was lonely, and he was being a gentleman about everything, and one night things happened. a broken condom and several months later we had our girl. he had asked me to be with him and marry, and I accepted... since then, nearly 3 years ago... we had another little girl. and over the last year, we have grown apart. Over the last year his online game playing has become a problem. I work my **** off as a nurses aid, pulling 50-70 hour weeks to support me and my children in a comfortable lifestyle. he refuses to get a job, but he "observes" the children for me while im at work. Over the last year, ive been forced to have painful sex (im a little too sensitive and he is too big) when ever he has wanted it, without a thought for my feelings on the matter. He plays his mmorpg like a feind. In the begining of january we talked about things and I went to see my mother. Over that weekend he realized how much he has been ignoring me, how much he misses me and how much he wants the spark/flame back in our lives. I dont feel the same. He tried to stop his game playing on the computer. so he went to the xbox. when i told him no, he couldnt go out and buy a new $60 game every three days, he went back to the computer again. I have told him that im not attracted to him anymore. That i need something else in my life. I dont really know what it is, but he isnt giving it. That i would like to see other people possibly... but he insist that we can make it happen without doing anything at all. We have tried to make sex better, ive told him what i would like from sex and he has tried to comply. Ive told him i would like quality time with him when I get home from work.. maybe he do some of the cleaning or cook supper for me once in awhile. I know I can be a slob at time.. but after a 12 hour day of mental abuse and wiping **** in a nursing home nearly seven days a week... i just drop when I get home and cant do everything the "woman" as he puts it should do.

    He loves me... i know he does and he tells me often now that he is IN love with me. I love him... but only as a friend anymore. I feel his actions have driven us apart and we will never get that flame back that we had. ((and as a note.. weve take time out and found a sitter and went out to eat with just the two of us.. but we always end up fighting over stupid things.))

    I bring in a lot of money, and if I wanted, with my "emergency saving" account that he doesnt know about... I could buy my own car and put a decent down payment on a house of my own.

    I have the means to leave him. Im just not strong enough to.

    Does anyone have ANY advice that could be helpful to me. Im am stuck at a crossroads and dont have a map... Thank you in advance.

  • Where to go from here?

    Last winter, my fiance had started to ignore me for online games and his xbox... Over the summer I had become his personal pleasure object, giving him whathe wanted when ever he needed it. Most often never getting anything in return... And when I said no, he would guilt trip me, then get angry and *itch me out until he got what he wanted. We have had trust issues in the past.. he has cheated on me.. his mother constantly tries to break us up, ect ect.

    The last month, I have began talking to a long time online friend. Ive known him for 8 years, he has been there for me through the bad and the good... and last weekend i went to go visit him without my fiance knowing. things happened and I feel more for him than I ever have my fiance.

    I feel nothing but friendship for my fiance... and havent for several months now. While I was gone, fiance came to his senses and decided he has been ignoring me and wants things the way they used to be. I dont. children are involved and I feel obligated to stay with fiance for the kids' sakes.

    Any advice? guidance?

  • how early can you feel contractions?

    Now im a seasoned mother of 4... had midwives/ob's with all 4 of my children. 1st child was 2 weeks late. 2cnd was right on time. 3rd was 5 weeks early with 3 weeks preterm labor. 4th was 6 weeks early with braxton hix/preterm from 18 weeks.

    i live about 2 hrs away from any doctor and im self pay so i dont want to waste a trip to the E.R. to find out im pregnant. I was on mirena (loved it btw) until it fell out in late june resulting in painful cysts and PID. I took all neccisarry meds and got better with 2 periods exactly 30 days apart. the last one was on September 10th. until a week or so ago i had tested for every three days for pregnancy with no +. three days ago i started feeling something every hour or so really low in my abdomen. my 3rd and 4th i could feel move like im feeling now around 10-12 weeks. nothing major but i know what the feeling is. Anyways... today ive been feeling a lot of a 'pulling/tightening' feeling around 4 or 5 times an hour directly under my pelvic bone.

    My question is this... is it possible to get braxton hix/ contractions this early if i am pregnant? there isnt any abnormal discharge/blood/mucas that ive seen, should i be concerned?

    and yes, i do have afternoon sickness, im tired, breast are tender, ready to bite hubbys head off at every second...

    Please, any thoughts or advice would be appriciative.
