  • Stomach flu and not eating.?

    I got the stomach flu Saturday night and continued to throw up until early Monday morning. I still feel nauseous and have no interest in food. I am overweight but I have lost 15 lbs since Saturday. I don't want to make things worse but I still feel like crap. I am diabetic and am unable to keep my meds down so I am just drinking water, diet sprite, and sugar free sports drinks. Will I be okay for a few more days if I don't feel like eating anything

  • 4 month old constipated need help please :)?

    My little girl is four months and one week old. She has had solid stools since she was three weeks old and has always had to push it out and turns red. She never whined when pushing until the last three or four days. I would say that the consistency of her stools would be between play dough and mashed potatoes, but like I said in the last three or four days it has been rock hard little pellets and she whines and cries when trying to push it out. I tried giving her a bottle of water mid day for the last three days but that hasn't seemed to make a difference.

    Is it too early to give her watered down apple juice since she hasn't had anything but plain rice and plain oats which she started on at three months.

  • Question about lower back pain while laying down? Just had a baby?

    I don't know if it even has anything to do with it but the extra information might help someone to help me. I had a little girl (Addison) on February 28th of this year via C-section with a spinal. I was on bed rest since mid November. After I had Addison my lower back was a little numb but was told that was normal with a spinal. I went about my business since then and hadn't really had any problems but for the last three weeks by back is KILLING me. There is very mild discomfort when I'm standing or sitting but when I'm laying down to go to bed it doesn't matter if i'm on my side with a pillow between my legs, on my back with pillows under my knees, flat on my back or on my stomach, my back is in more pain then when I was having Addison. I hurts to move, talk, and breath if I'm in a laying position. When I wake up in the morning it will hurt for about half an hour while I start to move around. However, it hurts almost the instant I lay down and get worse through the night. I never took the pain medicine they gave me after my c-section because I don't like taking pills but I have been taking them for almost a week now and they help for about two hours but then I wake up with pain so unbearable I can't go back to sleep. I told my doctor about my pain and she didn't seem to think much of it and said it was probably from holding and playing with Addison. She prescribed me an anti-inflammatory medicine but it doesn't seem to be having any effect.

    I am asking this question to try to get some advice on what I should do now. I would like to resolve this at home if possible since with the new baby expenses are tight.

    If anyone needs any more explanations just ask and i will amend my question.

  • Will paying off credit card for less than is owed lower my credit score?

    I have had a delinquent credit card that went to a collection agency 9 years ago I pay on time every month for double the minimum payment but the balance is still only a few hundred dollars less than when it went delinquent. I haven't missed a payment in the last 9 years but I want to get rid of this card and have saved up some cash. I was wondering if I called them and offered a lump sum payment to close the account for less than the current balance would it hurt my credit score?

    I would like to mention the original balance 9 years ago has more than been paid for I have given them the money I originally owed them I just want to eliminate the card now. They have made their money on me.

  • How much does it cost to have your taxes done?

    How much does it cost for a company like H&R Block or Jackson Hewitt to do you taxes. I am an average person who has done my own taxes the old fashion paper and pencil way for the last 5 years but my husband and I have purchased our first home and we know there is more to it now so we want to get them done professionally but how much does that cost?

  • Help! I need nipple cream for sensitive skin?

    I'm 32 weeks pregnant right now and have had sensitive skin for the last 10 years or so. I have been using a sensitive skin lotion on my belly for months and thank god no stretch marks yet. However, last week my nipples were dry so I put some of the same lotion on them and within an hour was broke out with blisters only on the areola like I do when I'm alergic to something.

    The problem is I plan on breast feeding so I need to find a lotion I can use before the baby latches on. So does anyone know of any nipple cream for extreamly sensitive skin that I can try.

    PLEASE HELP my girls depend on YOU!!!

  • Would my baby survive at this point?

    I'm 32 Weeks pregnant and she is estimated at 3lb 11oz. I was told I would probably deliver early due to my health. I just wanted to know how good of a chance would my little Addison have of surviving a healthy delivery at this point.
