  • What doctor to see for second opinion for lumps in the neck for 5 yr old?

    My son has had a lump on the side of his neck for over a year. I know it could be nothing, but his pediatrician said only to worry to if it gets bigger which it has.

    He has two actually right beside each other.

    could I just see another doctor for peace of mind.

    And what doctor could I take him too? ENT?

    Thanks!

  • Phentermine, is it ok for a doctor to prescribe it to a person nonstop for 4 years?

    Someone went to a local weight loss doctor and was prescribed Phentermine for weight loss. At this place, you can go back every week and they will just hand over a new prescription.

    I'm guessing this person had no idea what the effects were and became addicted. He continued going for 4yrs because he became addicted to the drug.

    This person is not severely overweight (see quote below for drug info) and has been taking it for 4 yrs!!!!! How can a doctor continue writing prescriptions for this drug for this long knowing its HIGHLY addictive and for short term use only!

    I seriously want to walk up to the place and ask how they can do this!

    He is finally admitting he has a problem and I figured ok, its just a diet pill, not big deal, but no, see second quote below about possible withdrawal symptoms, including cardiac arrest, stroke, and heart palpitations!

    "A phentermine addiction has the potential to be life-threatening. Dependence can occur rapidly, making it difficult to discontinue the drug. Phentermine is truly designed for short-term use only in severely overweight individuals and extending use or increases in dosage as a result of dependence can create significant problems for a person once they seek to discontinue the medication."

    "Withdrawal of Phentermine"

    The body can develop an intense and unsafe addiction to phentermine very quickly. Someone who finds themselves physiologically and psychologically dependent upon the drug may find it very difficult to function without it. An abrupt discontinuation of the drug can create unpleasant withdrawal symptoms.

    Withdrawal symptoms associated with the removal of phentermine from the body can include, but are not limited to:

    • Depression

    • Headaches

    • High blood pressure

    • Dizziness

    • Diarrhea

    • Flatulence

    • Stomach pain

    • Vomiting

    • Menstrual irregularities

    • Insomnia

    • Irritability

    • Glaucoma

    • Memory loss

    • Heart palpitations

    • Congestive heart failure

    • Cardiac arrest

    • Strokes

    • Tremors

    • Seizures

    • Nerve damage

    Phentermine is truly designed for short-term use only in severely overweight individuals and extending use or increases in dosage as a result of dependence can create significant problems for a person once they seek to discontinue the medication.

    As this dependence can be both psychological and physiological, it is recommended that users taper off the medication slowly under the care of a board-certified physician and board-certified addiction psychiatrist. A quality center can administer a comfortable detox regimes for 24/7 care that will ensure the individual rids their body of the drug completely, learning to function without it.

  • Has anyone else felt tremendous pain during their c-section?

    I had an emergency c-section to deliver my twins in Feb.

    It was the worst pain I ever felt in my life! I felt everything. There was not one moment where I was not in pain. I really question my c-section experience was than natural childbirth would have been. I didn't even notice one of my babies being born it was so terrible for me.

    My aunt had the same experience, so i wonder if could have something to do with genetics- but of course I really just throwing that out there.

    Its been 7 months and I'm still wondering what in the world happened.

    I can see that this is not a normal experience. I'm just wondering how often it happens.

    It was with an epidural.

  • Do i need to go the Emergency Room- 6 weeks pregnant, bleeding, cramping, decreased breast tenderness.?

    I began spotting about a week ago, and in the last few days it has change from more of discharge, to now similar to a menstrual cycle. I did call my Dr. yesterday and she put me on bed rest till i can her office in the tomorrow morning.

    I'm also experiencing cramping, that will go up down pain wise, although, I don't believe it is ever severe.

    Would it be worth it go to the ER, or should I just wait till tomorrow?

    If i'm going to miscarry would the ER even be able to prevent it?

  • Are your glasses supposed to lay flat when opened or is there usually a leg in the air?

    I just wanted to check because i just purchased glasses from eyemasters and when the salesman laid them on the counter, one leg was in the air a little. I asked him if they were supposed to lay flat, and he replied that no since they lay differently on the two ears. The only problem to me was that he had not done any adjusting to my ears.

    I listened to him and took them home, and noticed they sit on my face crooked.

    So my question is, have you noticed if your glasses lay flat when opened, or is there usually a leg in the air?

  • Is 80-88 degrees too hot for an outdoor wedding &reception in baytown, TX (houston)?

    We are getting married at Oakland on Burnet Bay in baytown, May 16th and the weather channel says it could be from 80-88 degrees.
