Jimmy J asked:


Every night since i remember i have had nightmares, when i wake up all of my bedding including the pillows are on the floor. The nightmares are scary and even gruesome and i have had them since i was a young child. It doesn’t matter how much or little sleep i have had, either way i still get it.

Last night i had a strong plaster on my foot, securly on and it came off in my sleep. I could tell it wasn’t on there long because it there was a detox pad under it.

I eat about 7 hours before i go to bed, i don’t take caffeine or drugs. I don’t know what has been causing this for so long.

What can i do to help myself?
I do record my dreams and search the meanings, it doesn’t help. I don’t watch violence or play video games.

Start Date: April 3rd 2007-(still being affected by some symptoms)

So I’ve been sick since April 3rd/2007- to the present day. Some of the symptoms have worn off a bit at this present day but I do still deal with them. I’ve been to many doctor’s, pharmacists, walk-in clinics and hospitals and I am still not fully diagnosed what is wrong with me….and i can promise you, i am not a hypochondriac…..this all started when I had a cold and developed into the flu bug…I was under a lot of stress with school considering I was graduating and I was on my last month of school which I had a lot of projects and tests on the way…and I became really ill during the beginning of April and it went away in a week..And then reappeared…the thing is…Every time I felt capable of doing school work I would immediately go up to my school and work for hours on end to try and get myself caught up…but then my sickness came back repeatedly..It was awful…the symptoms I’m having are:

*constant nausea 24hrs a day (sometimes to the point where I can’t get out of bed) (As of now 2009 happens once and a while but not as invasive as it once was)
*stomach ache pains (doesn’t’ happen anymore)
*bloating (sometimes)
*gas pains (rarely)
*eating sometimes relief nausea feeling; but only for a few minutes (doesn’t happen anymore)
*changes in bowel movements & odor (sometimes)
*mucus in bowel (not very often…just recently started, but doesn’t happen as often as it did back in 2007)
*lump in throat feeling (doesn’t happen anymore)
*symptoms worsen @ nights (doesn’t happen anymore)
*after certain bowel movements; nausea will feel 10 times worse than before and will continue on for days (doesn’t happen anymore)
*sometimes motion (driving) depending on how bad the nausea is on that specific day will make my nausea feel worse and sometimes I feel like I need to pull over on the side of the road feeling like I’m going to be sick (doesn’t happen anymore)

I’ve been under a number of medications…and nothing has seemed to work so far…

The tests I have received since April 2007 till December 2007 is:
*upper G.I x-ray (barium swallow)
*complete abdominal ultrasound & limited pelvic: aorta, gallbladder, liver, pancreas, spleen, & kidneys
* 4 blood tests
* 2 urine tests
*esophagastroduodenoscopy aka Stomach endoscope procedure & biopsy

ALL OF THESE TESTS CAME BACK NEGATIVE…THEY HAD FOUND NOTHING IRREGULAR IN ANY OF THE TESTS GIVEN.
I’ve been under a number of medications…And nothing has seemed to work so far…The medications I’ve been under are:
*gravol
*Acidophillis (this medication will give me a few days of relief…But symptoms will reappear)
*Zantac
*Pepto-Bismol
*Marvolon (birth control, currently on)
*Nexium
*Benadryl
*flu shot (2006)
*Techna shot (2006)
*Gen Alprozolam 0.25 mg (anxiety medication)
*ferrous gluconate (elemental iron pills)
*bonamie
*benefiber (still taking from time to time)
*peglyte (bowel cleanse)
*penicillin
*pariet (reduces stomach acid & used to eliminate helicobacter pylori)
*ran-domperidon 10mg (improves motion threw esophagus)
*Detox foot pads (I think they may have helped a little but only did 5 foot pads so far)
(I’ve also thought about ordering Dr. Natura detox program which includes colonix & toxin out…and I’ve also heard that depending on how toxic your body is, it can hang onto viruses in your body…So I’m going to try it and see if may help my situation)

Possible diagnosis from doctors, pharmacists, family and friends are:
*prolonged gastritis
*stomach bacterial infection
*stomach ulcer
*anxiety
*stress gastritis
*celiac disease
*irritable bowel syndrome (from last doctor’s visit @ the hospital, he thinks it could be that…but not feeling any better from doing a colon cleansing with PEGLYTE and taking benefiber everyday)
*prolonged stomach flu virus
ALOT OF THESE POSSIBLE DIAGNOSES HAVE BEEN RULED OUT FROM THE ENDOSCOPE TEST

Now i have developed some new symptoms, I’ve been sick with this constant cold/flu bug since the end of June 2008; I first became ill with an illness in April 2007 and was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome Jan 2008 as well. Ever since June I just started with a sore throat and a general run down feeling, sometimes chills and fever and I would get the stomach flu-like symptoms here and there, at first I thought it was just a basic cold/flu but then it wouldn’t go away. But now I’ve been getting this recurring stomach flu or just cold/flu-like symptoms like before over and over again…the stomach flu has been going on since Dec 2008 until now, I also am anemic, so I am taking iron pills one pill a day 300mg, but my doctor told me to updose to 3 times a day which adds up to 900mg a day.
For example: When I became ill with the stomach bug (or seemed like the stomach bug because it felt exactly like the symptoms of it) December of 2008 I not only had it once but it came back 8 more times before I moved onto

I didn’t notice my shaky hands until jr high. The shaking has only gotten worse. Well I know part of it is because I’m an art student majoring in fashion design so I have to do a lot of stuff with my hands. They do shake more do to fatigue but it can’t be helped. Is it possible that I have essential tremor at 18? I do have wrist tendinitis and carpal tunnel, diagnosed by a doctor. They suggested physical therapy which I have tried but it still doesn’t work. My hands are just so weak. My mom has ET, but nothing works on her. Her hands are so shaky that she can’t hold anything steady no matter how heavy or light. If it runs in the family, I’m afraid my hands will just get worse. My hands are essential to my artwork. If it goes at this rate, wouldn’t it just affect my abilities to do things like my mom? Is there a cure? My mom has seen lots of doctors and tried many medications even Chinese herbal remedies and acupuncture. I haven’t gotten that bad but I want to prolong it or cure it if I can. Can somebody please help me? I don’t smoke, do drugs, or drink/take caffeine so I know they aren’t causing my problems. I have tried wearing a cast for over a month so that I wouldn’t use my hands but they just became weaker afterwards.

For a school project I have to create an acupuncture database, with a treatment and a product table included. I have the treatment table, but I’m not sure what products to include other than “needles” – surely there must be more than that! E.g., oils, certain types of needles with different names, etc.

Here are the treatments I have included:

First Consultation – No products
Follow-up Consultation – No products
First Acupuncture Session – Needles… etc?
Follow-up Acupuncture Session – ”
Hopi Ear Candle Therapy – Ear Candles
Massage Therapy – Oils?
Reflexology – Don’t know
Stop Smoking Therapy – Don’t know
Facial Revitalization Therapy – Don’t know!

If someone could help me fill in the blanks I’d really appreciate it.
I don’t quite understand what the first answerer means – perhaps you’ve misunderstood? My database has 13 tables, the treatment and product tables are only two of them…

Old socks can be made into high fiber beef jerky by smoking them over an open fire.

When smoking a fish, never inhale.

A hot rock placed in your sleeping bag will keep your feet warm. A hot enchilada works almost as well, but the cheese sticks between your toes.

The best backpacks are named for national parks or mountain ranges. Steer clear of those named for landfills.

Acupuncture was invented by a camper who found a porcupine in his sleeping bag.

While the Swiss Army Knife has been popular for years, the Swiss Navy Knife has remained largely un heard of. Its single blade functions as a tiny canoe paddle.

Effective January 1, 1997, you will actually have to enlist in the Swiss Army to get a Swiss Army Knife.

You’ll never be lost if you remember that moss always grows on the north side of your compass.

You can duplicate the warmth of a down-filled bedroll by climbing into a plastic garbage bag with several geese.

When camping, always wear a long-sleeved shirt. It gives you something to wipe your nose on.

You can compress the diameter of your rolled up sleeping bag by running over it with your car.

Take this simple test to see if you qualify for solo camping. Shine a flashlight into one ear. If the beam shines out the other ear, do not go into the woods alone.

CTU asked:


I have written this e-mail to almost everywhere in my town, no one will help me!
I’m in hell right now!
I have a severe problem and I don’t know where to turn to anymore. I have been living a nightmare for almost 3 months now. Called everywhere in the city, even health dept. No one believes me, no one can help me. I have been living in this townhouse for 12 years and have new neighbours since August. They are doing or burning something so strong, the scent comes through my cement walls and it is disgusting. At first I thought they were doing BBQ’s in the house because I could smell something like soot. I called the fire dept. and she told them she burned hamburgers on the stove so the fire dept left. They were in the house not more than 5 minutes. Then, I thought it was some kind of incence but now I am almost sure they are doing some kind of drugs because when they do it strong, I feel drugged and my throat burns, I get dizzy and I feel like I’m going to faint. On their veranda, there are big black marks here and there which looks like soot. The taste of the smell stays in my mouth and nose all the time. They told management they cook with spices. I have never had any kind of food smells of any kind since I’ve lived here. So, management told me if I’m not happy to move and she didn’t care if I was sick. My mother phoned her to try and talk to her because she smells it too. She yelled at my mother and told her that it’s on my side that it smells and she doesn’t know what I put in my cigarettes and hung up. I smoke cigarettes in my basement but I am 100% against DRUGS. I asked a man who works for the owner to come and smell my walls when they do it so he came and told me it wasn’t my imagination, he could smell it too! He said it smelled something like soot or weed… Next day, he calls me and tells me he’s going at the neighbour’s house with police officers. 2 young police officers arrived before him and went in the house for a little less than 5 minutes. The Mr. who lives there worked security guard at the court house so he’s always quick to show his identification. She told them she cooks with spices and uses a spray and the cops believed them. The young police officer came to see me and asked me what was my problem? He was really rude and told me not to call the police or the fire dept. anymore because they wouldn’t come and they had better things to do. He told me that I was lucky they didn’t bring me to court for harassment or racism. I then phoned the RCMP drug investigations and told him my story and pleaded him to investigate. He told me he would but as soon as he spoke to the officer who came here, he phoned me back and told me that he couldn’t do anything. The officer lied to him. He told him that when he came at my house, he told me to phone him when I smelled it and he would come and investigate in my home. The mister hasn’t been working for over a month now, don’t know if he lost his job. He comes and goes most of the day for short times and as soon as he’s in the house, he starts to do whatever it is they are doing. I am not crazy, my sons, my boyfriend, my mother and sister smell it too. I even asked a neighbour I don’t even know to come and smell it when they are doing it. She had to leave the house because the smell was so strong, it was going to her throat. Me and my youngest son wear masks in the house when it is too strong. We also go for acupuncture for smell sensitivities. It helped at first but it doesn’t work anymore. At first, my boyfriend tried to speak with the mister and explain that what they were doing was making me ill. He replied that they weren’t doing anything and it was all in my imagination. His wife and sons always leave with packsacks. I have tried everything to mask the smell, bought big tower air purifiers and put air fresheners, spray my walls with vinegar… the smell goes through everything. I love my home and do not want to move. I’m trying to find a solution but don’t know where to go. I have been on the phone for over 1 month, no one will help or believes me. If it isn’t drugs and they are not selling it, how can they afford to stay there? Nobody works. PLEASE, do not phone the Ottawa police as they do not believe me. What am I to do? If it is drugs, we are being drugged against our will in our own home. I would need someone who is important enough to be believed to come in my house without my neighbours seeing them, smell the smell we have been smelling for almost 3 months now. Please help me end my nightmare! I am writing you right now with my mask on my mouth and nose because they are doing it. PLEASE HELP ME!!! I have tried to move because management won’t give me another unit and she doesn’t want to give me a reference.

Only serious answers please as this is no joke!!!
PK, I can’t, everytime I look for an apt. they call management for references and I lose the place. I’m stuck here!
Hope everything is well for you.
