I stressed my shoulder and neck muscles by carrying a heavy bag, causing severe pain. I have already maxed out on over-the-counter painkillers. What can I do at home to alleviate this pain and recover as soon as possible?

I am feeling disoriented and confused most of the time, but improve after a beer or meal. I had to get up last night to eat because I was getting agitated. I have less energy than normal and sometimes cannot remember things. I also struggle to find the right words and become frustrated because of this. I had a stroke 10 years ago which affected my right side, and I recovered to 80% mobility on that side. I am also type 2 diabetic and take medication including Diaformin, Diamicron, Micardis, Ezetreol, Lipitor, and Omeprazole. My last CT scan was a couple of years ago. I recently had a CT scan which was clear, but remembering names and how to do things is becoming increasingly difficult. I also experience urinary incontinence and dizziness, needing to use the toilet to pee every half hour.

I am 21 years old, in reasonably good health, but I am overweight. I have experienced double vision on three separate mornings, which resolves within a few minutes. I also have a slight headache. I have always had 20/20 vision but have not seen an eye doctor in 5 or 6 years. I do not currently have insurance but will have good insurance after my wedding in July. What could be causing my double vision and headache, and what should I do about it?

I have been taking Effexor 150mg for about 4 years and have recently become a regular user of speed. I am a 45-year-old male and have noticed a significant increase in boils in my groin and under my arms. I am a very clean living person and shower twice a day. What could be causing this?

I've been on Paxil for 6 years. I recently asked my MD to increase the dosage by 5-10 mg because I was starting to show my emotional true colors again. He increased it by 20 mg. I spent a week feeling like a robot and had allergic reactions in the sun. I went back to the doctor, and they lowered it by 10 mg and put me on new Zyrtec allergy meds. I feel like I'm trying to drive an awkward bus from inside myself now. Please offer some good advice. My doctor didn't seem too keen on really listening.

My infant son has yellow finger nails, and at the top where the cuticle should be, it looks like a new nail is coming in. What does this mean, is something wrong with him?
