My last menstrual period was 01/15/07 and I haven't gotten my period since. I took two pregnancy tests and they were negative, but I still haven't gotten my period and I've gained a lot of weight. Could I be pregnant, and if not, what else could be happening?

I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and I wondered if you could tell me a bit about it and how to spell it. I also have scoliosis, 2 bulging disks in my neck, my spine is separated from my lower back, and I have TMJ that needs surgery. I hurt all of the time and get bad headaches. What are the relationships between these conditions?

My father, who is 80 years old, has slipped into a comalike sleep three times this year. He will fall asleep in a chair and nothing can wake him up right away. This last time, it took almost 20 minutes to wake him up. What can cause a person to slip into a deep sleep like that?

I had dental implants about 21 years ago and then 2 years ago had the top set pulled and got dentures. One of the screws from the implants has worked its way loose and is floating in my cheek, causing significant swelling around my eye and cheek. What should I do?
