Faecal impaction or just constipation?
For the past week or so I haven't been able to have proper bowel movements. When I do manage to go to the bathroom, the faeces are very small. Also it doesn't feel like my colon is contracting. I don't have the urge to have a bowel movement. It's like a plug is there stopping much from coming out, no matter how hard I push and strain, nothing happens.
I'm very bloated and I'm having abdominal cramps. I feel like there is a mass in my colon but I can't feel anything when I press my tummy. I'm very uncomfortable. I took two Senokot tablets last night and nothing.
I'm currently being tested for Coeliacs disease and I've been having mucus in my bowel movements for almost a year (my GP thinks that this could be related to Coeliacs as I feel ill after I eat gluten and I'm also anaemic and Vitamin D deficient.)
I feel so stupid going to the GP if I just have a bad case of constipation and I'm so embarrassed. I'm 26 and have a whole host of other health problems and feel like I live at the GP surgery.
Does what I have sound just like constipation or could it be faecal impaction? And if I am impacted, should I still be eating?!
Thank you in advance,
5 AnswersOther - Diseases8 years agoHow to restore PSP to Sony Firmware?
Hello.
I bought a secondhand PSP from Ebay. It arrived today but it has CFW on it (this wasn't mentioned in the listing but the seller is a trade seller so might not have known). I also tried to go into the Playstation Store and it says I need to update. Then I go to network update and it tells me that I have the latest software.
Does anyone know how to restore my PSP to the original firmware? I'm not sure if the Playstation Store problem is related to it and I'd rather have legit software on my PSP.
However, the PSP didn't come with a memory stick or USB. It only came with the charger.
Any help much appreciated.
Thank you.
2 AnswersPlayStation9 years agoNissin Speedlite Di466 won't fire?
I have a Nissan Speedlite Di466 flash gun. I use it on my Nikon D40. However, I'm having a problem where it's pot luck whether it will fire or not and when it does fire, the images are extremely underexposed and only 1 in 20 or so will be exposed properly when it does manage to fire. My camera is in TTL mode and the slave isn't turned on. I don't know what's the matter. I've had it for a while and as far as I remember it has always been like this. It's out of warranty though because I got it Christmas 2010.
I've also made sure that the flashgun has new batteries in it.
I usually use my camera in either Automatic or Program (mostly program though). I've read that sometimes flash guns won't work above or below a certain shutter speed but I'm not sure what that is for the flashgun I have. I've googled but to no avail.
Does anyone know what the problem might be?
Thank you in advance.
1 AnswerPhotography9 years agoModern day translation of old English?
Hey everyone.
I'm currently studying "Doctor Faustus" but I'm having a bit of trouble understanding alot of the Old English, which is weird as I seem to be able to understand Shakespeare fine, but am having trouble with "Doctor Faustus" even though it's written in a similar vain.
Does anyone know of any online Old English to Modern English translators? (I've tried a few but they seem to be latin translators and aren't working for Shakespearean English) or where I can find a modern translation of Doctor Faustus?
Thank you in advance.
1 AnswerLanguages9 years agoIs this a possible abscess or something else?
Hello.
I have a possible gum swelling on one of my back molars (I think that's what it's called...). The swelling is next to the tooth on the inside gum. I'm unsure if it is an abscess, however, because there is no pain with it. I have no toothache, my gum doesn't hurt and the only "pain" I am having is when I press on the underside of my jaw but it's more discomfort than pain. I'm aged 24 and haven't had my wisdom teeth through yet.
The swelling is hard to see by myself because of the area it is located. When I feel it with my tongue, it feels similar to how a "jelly blister" feels on the foot.
Could this possibly be an ulcer or a cyst or do you think it's an abscess? I have had abscesses before during my early teens and had the teeth extracted and I had really excruciating pain when I had them before which I don't have this time.
I'm not registered with a dentist here yet and can't see an emergency one for a while.
Please help.
1 AnswerDental1 decade agoChanging my Facebook relationship status deletes fiancee's relationship status and vice versa?
My boyfriend and I recently got engaged and attempted to change our relationship statuses on Facebook.
The problem is that when he requests me, his relationship status changes to engaged to me but my relationship status disappears and is deleted completely. This is also happening when I request him too but my relationship status changes and his gets deleted.
Is anyone else having this problem? I've submitted a bug report but haven't heard anything back yet.

5 AnswersHair1 decade agoWhat does it mean when my lover dreams of me and knows it's me but I'm in someone else's body?
Hello. :)
I don't really read much into dreams but my boyfriend says that he sometimes dreams of me and he knows it's me in the dream but that I'm in someone else's body, He's finding this a bit weird as he is happy with me how I am and thinks I'm beautiful.
Could anybody possibly interpret this for us?
Thank you.

7 AnswersDream Interpretation1 decade agoHow long is it okay to take laxatives for?
Okay, I am anorexic BUT I don't misuse laxatives. The only reason I have ever taken them is for the use they were intended for.
Anyway.
As some of you may well know one of the side effects of anorexia is constipation. I don't get it too often but when it hits I think I'm going to die lol. Yesterday I took two laxatives at about 2pm and they helped a bit but not enough, and today I was still constipated so I took two more at 9am. I now have diarrhea but that's better than the constipation to be honest. I am not going to be taking any more laxatives.
My question is: Would taking these laxatives for two days have caused me any harm? They are Bisacodyl ones. As I said I don't plan to take any more and do not misuse laxatives.

3 AnswersOther - General Health Care1 decade agoVocal range question?
Hello.
Just a quick question. A couple of years ago I had a one off singing lesson and the teacher said my vocal range was b flat. I didn't think to ask about it at the time, but only thought about it recently when I was talking to a friend about singing.
What kind of vocal range is b flat? Is it a low, medium or high range? etc. As much info as possible would be good. :) Can it be compared to any instrument? As that might help me to understand it a bit better.
Thank you. :)

3 AnswersVideo & Online Games1 decade agoWhat could this scalp condition be?
I always have white flakes in my hair, and my scalp almost always constantly itches and it hurts sometimes. I took a photo to demonstrate. It's here: http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q145/Gothic-Mid...
If you look very carefully there are some red like patches to the left. I was thinking it may be scalp psoriasis? But I'm not sure. My hair is falling out a lot too - way more than the normal amount of hair.
I would really appreciate your input.
Thanks.

6 AnswersHair1 decade agoWhat are strawberry scars/strawberry gashes?
I have been hearing this term a lot lately and I'm not too sure what it means. Does it just mean a scar that is pink in colour? Do they take longer than normal scars to fade? I tried to goggle it but to no avail.
No particular reason for asking this. I'm just curious. :)

12 AnswersFashion & Accessories1 decade agoWhich type/colour make up would suit me the best?
I'm pretty new to this whole make up thing. I've never really made an effort as such before but now I want to start experimenting with makeup but I have no idea where to start.
I want to try out some foundation but I don't know which type is best for my skin. I have combination, sensitive skin which is pale-ish (for lack of a better word) and I have pock marks that run from approximately the beginning of my nose to almost near my cheek bones. They are a result of having chicken pox when I was 4 years old.
Does anyone have any tips on which foundation would be best?
Here is a photo so that you can see what my skin is like:
http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q145/Gothic-Mid...
Also, could someone recommend what eyeshadow and lip colour would sit me best with my skin tones?
The beauty supplies stores where I live don't do free makeovers or anything. :(
Thanks very much.

2 AnswersOther - Internet1 decade agoAre my hips small?
My hips are 31 inches and my waist is 24. I heard that if a woman has small hips she may find it hard to give birth naturally. (Not that I'm pregnant or anything. Just curious).
If I ever did have children would I find it hard to give birth naturally and have to have a c-section because of my hip size?
13 AnswersWomen's Health1 decade agoDo I have a milk intolerance?
I'm not sure if I have a milk or lactose intolerance. I can have milk in tea and I'll be fine but I can't have it on it's own or on cereal because it makes me really ill. I get bloated, nauseous, indigestion and bad stomach pains.
I can still eat cheese and chocolate.
I made some home made muffins the other day where I had to put milk in them and they made me ill too.
I'm not sure if I have an intolerance because I'm fine when I have milk in tea. Maybe the other ingredients in the tea water down the milk?
I don't know. :S Does it sound like I have an intolerance?
Thank you.
