I have about 2k in medical bills I cannot afford to go to the doctor.
Post your ailments and we will give you a diagnosis/treatment recommendation in return for the same services.
I have a few ailments.
My right ear has been very sensitive lately. Simple things like dropping a book on a desk will make my ear ring. At a show about a week ago I actually had to leave the room because the PA was making my ear hurt. But I have no hearing loss and the ringing is temporary and only in my right ear.
Also, I have been getting these little things on various parts of my body every few weeks, one at a time. They look like moles, but are smaller, darker, and apparently are filled with blood. My guess is some kind of blood blister but they aren't from pinching or anything. I had one on my ankle about a week ago and I thought it was a tick until I had one on my tongue yesterday. I just scratched them both and they popped and then healed, with a tiny bit of blood. wtf.
Tell me your ailments and I will diagnose you free of charge. I am a 6 season graduate of House MD so nothing is above me.

you have fleas and you're allergic to them, that's why your sinuses are inflamed and giving you grief in the form of ear pain. try irrigating your nose with salt water and washing your sheets/vacuuming your house more thoroughly.

I am addicted to smoking cigarettes

dietcoke, try to quit using snus or chew for a week or a week and a half and then stop that and switch to patches. it worked for me i hope that helps

Its a work thing, its embedded in my psyche as some kind of internal clock. I don't think that nicotine replacement will work(it hasn't) because I don't have cravings at home or when I'm out doing thangs. The only solution I see is to start doing something that I enjoy for a living

I HAVE AN ERECTION LASTING MORE THAN FOUR HOURS
I've been awake for about eight hours for the same reason. It's not funny. I seriously can't sleep.
-
- Shortly before 9 P.M. on March 7, 2010, I turned my head to the right, then turned back to the left with eyes following to the left.
- Suddenly saw a weird "square" in the lower-right of my vision, covering about one quarter of my vision
- This 'square" was drawn as a hollow, multi-colored, zigzag pattern (see png below)
(http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/3982/eyeweirdnessproblem.png)
- With eyes open, "square" obscured the part of my vision that it covered--like an overlay.
- With eyes closed "square" was seen more distinctly, and when right eyeball moved, square moved with it.
- "Square" somewhat resembled normal after-image seen after looking at light source, but had more intensity, sharpness of detail, and seemed to oscillate.
- The 4 lines of the square seemed to be made of "snow" on a TV screen, but sharper and brighter.
- Since it resembled after-image, I tried looking at the lightbulb for a few seconds, then shut my eyes and saw normal after-image of light bulb, but also still saw "square"
- "Square" effect lasted 1-2 minutes, but then when it faded, for the right eye, the center of vision was clear, but the periphery was blurry.
- Left eye remained normal and clear throughout this weirdness (which gave me something to compare the right eye with)
- Washed right eye with clean cool water, didn't seem to make much difference.
- Shortly after washing right eye, slight pressure began to build and was felt in right eye, but it did not appear swollen.
- Pressure began to subside after approx. 20 minutes; blurriness persisted, but did improve.
- By next morning, right eye was normal again.
TRUE STORY
...Seriously though, this really did happen to me. In fact, I wrote all this down Sunday night, so that I could tell my doctor the eye doctor the next day, if the problem persisted--which it didn't thankfully.
But it was hella freaky (and quite a bit scary)
Like a portion of my retina had temporarily shorted out, or blown a few pixels or whatever.
Fuck, but the human body is full of oddity and mystery.

I am addicted to smoking cigarettes
gave up electronic cigarettes? you were on a minor crusade over those things back in the day.

it went through the laundry and died and I never got around to getting a new one, plus I spent the summer living with friends who called me a faggot when I busted it out so...

Isn't it so that those electronic cigarettes still give you an overdose of nicotine and that they're probably just as bad albeit in an entirely different way?
-

Same except instead of the laundry it was a car accident.
The longest I can go without having a cigarette is a day now. and I'm smoking a pack a day :/ . Day by day it's getting harder and harder to quit :(

Nicotine isn't great for you, but I wouldn't say that overdoing the nicotine is just as bad as sucking smoke containing a gang of carcinogens and tar into your lungs. You might have to worry about heart disease or something down the road if you're really goin' for it but I don't think it's nearly as bad as smoking cigarettes

yuck I start to feel gross when I reach 4 in a day.

i've heard that you don't get near as much nicotine from electronic cigarettes as you do from smoking actual cigarettes. i'd be inclined to believe this. the sensation of smoking electronic cigarettes and the subsequent withdrawal is a whole lot more mellow than it was with tobacco. i'd hit a much higher point when smoking tobacco, and a much deeper low when i haven't had one in a while. you can really FEEL a cigarette hit your brain and bloodstream, but you never really can with electronic cigarettes. also a major factor of the whole thing is the avoidance of the whole WASTED CIGARETTE phenomena. given the price of cigarettes, you do feel obligated to finish a cigarette once you've lit one, even if you don't necessarily NEED it. this is totally erased with electronic cigarettes, and most people just pull it out when they need it or have some sort of craving for it, and put it away after a drag. this may lead to some people getting more nicotine than they would through regular tobacco smoking, if they're hitting the device with a lot more frequency than they were smoking tobacco, but i've heard most people aren't completely inseparable from their electronic cigarette and generally use it for a drag when they need it. that's how i use it, and it's infrequent that i'm ever taking more than two or three consecutive drags before putting it down or putting it back in my pocket.
still, if that's not the case and you are getting as much/more nicotine than from tobacco, nicotine alone isn't what makes smoking dangerous. nicotine isn't good for you, but it's not a known carcinogen and probably isn't the main reason why tobacco kills everybody. i'm not going to say that there is no risk at all, but there's been nothing to suggest that electronic cigarettes have nearly the health risks of tobacco smoking, even if you do hit the devices furiously. you're just shouldering the health hazards of nicotine without all the other things that are more proven to kill you and fuck you up in a wide variety of ways.
and the nicotine concentrations in electronic cigarettes aren't high enough for accidental death through nicotine overdose. you'd really need to be doing it deliberately.

imho you probably would have been justified in kicking them in the dick. seriously though, you don't need me to tell you how bad of a reason this is!!
i've found some better e-cigarette models than the one you started me off with, so let me know if you want some advice. this goes for everyone who wants to try this as a smoking replacement, actually. i've been smoking electronic cigarettes for about ten months now and have a pretty good idea of how it all works if anybody wants me to point them in the right direction.

I don't think they're a bad idea at all but "electronic cigarettes" gets me every single time

trust me I talk some pretty awesome shit and have dirt on all of them. you're right it's not an excuse, but part of the reason i started up again because we'd all go out to the balcony and be smoking and drinking so it was incredibly easy to just say "sure" when offered.
what's the new model you're sucking on? I got a bigger tax refund than expected so I've got some money burning a hole in my pocket.

Only one solution, masturbate.
....well two solutions but if you had the option of getting laid while having an erection you wouldn't be complaining about it on here.
My hands get sore red everytime they get wet, meaning whenever I wash my hands or do any washing up I'm in a lot of pain. Any ideas?

I'm looking for one thats a bang for my buck! Today I went running, and instead of buying a pack of smokes, I bought a bottle of water. Proud of myself, I ran some more, ran to the bank, paid some bills, almost ran home when the cramps started kicking in. My lungs were on fire. I was coughing for about an hour and a half or so (not consecutively of course!). Now I'm sitting here kinda thinking that I shouldve bought smokes cus the craving is kicking in. I've been drinking a lot of water lately. I spend about 30$~ a week on smokes. So thats like ~ 120$ a month. Last time I bought an ecig it cost me 100$. and the cartridge that came with it was supposed to last 2 weeks. Mind you though this was a while back. Know of any good deals on this product?

i wish i could say that this is unacceptable behavior, but fuck man i know exactly what you mean. i don't hang around too many smokers anymore, but when i do and they're standing in one of those PRIMO SMOKING SPOTS i can't help but go slightly berserk even if i do have my fake cigarette in my mouth. i do a pretty good job resisting this, and i think i've only had maybe three or four real cigarettes since officially quitting. but still FUCK MAN. if i knew there was no tomorrow i'd go out and buy as many packs of cigarettes as i could carry.

what is your favorite model hundley?
i personally prefer the KR808D-1 model, which gets rebranded as a bunch of different fucking names, too many for me to have kept track of. from what i know, the best of the bunch is the vapor king, which gets sold at vapor4life (http://store.vapor4life.com/). they've actually done the most with that model, and have released their own variation on it(premium cartomizers) that's actually quite a bit better than the standard fare you get everywhere else. they're slightly more expensive than other places, but their shit is of a much higher quality and rarely ever breaks. i've got batteries from them that i bought in october that i'm still using, which is totally ridiculous as most other batteries don't seem to last more than two weeks.(note: if you do shop there, use their discount code SMILIN which is a 10% discount on everything in the store)
anyway, the KR808D-1 is a little different from other electronic cigarettes, in that the nicotine cartridge and atomizer(heating coils and shit for all those uninitiated) are built into the same device, called a cartomizer. some would argue that this isn't intrinsically better, but cartomizers are a lot cheaper to buy compared to the single atomizer models, and you can rather easily just fill up a handful of cartomizers to last you a day or two, rather than the single atomizer models which require a more deliberate, continuous effort throughout the day to keep them filled up/cleaned/etc. there are some very good youtube videos out there that show the various methods of refilling them. a lot of places market the cartomizer as disposable, but that's slightly misleading. you can refill them quite a few times before they kinda wear out. it's just that one cartomizer won't last as long as one atomizer will, but you can get so many more cartomizers for the price of an atomizer that it doesn't really matter.
and the performance of cartomizers is really outstanding. it has a longer heating coil than most models out there, and the result is something consistently outstanding. strong flavor, thick clouds of vapor, and a noticeable but not sharp hit to the throat. it's not tobacco, but it comes the closest as far as smaller personal vaporizers go.
but that's just me. the big problem with the KR808 model is that you can't really BOOST IT UP by getting crazy batteries and shit to increase performance. you can do a lot of wacky shit with the standard atomizer models with all these battery mods that are out there hitting the mainstream. i've never tried that, due to my preference for cartomizers, but people say that's the way to go if you've got a bit of money to spend on the habit and want something VERY close to a real cigarette. i can point you guys in the right direction for researching that stuff if you're ever interested in doing wacky shit like that and getting a heavy-duty e-cig rig. but people new to electronic cigarettes are still probably better off starting out with a simple model first.
i'm not going to bullshit you guys though, it isn't cheap to smoke electronic cigarettes. they are a bit cheaper, particularly if you know what to buy and how to make it last, but if it's your goal to smoke them full-time, you're going to spend quite a bit on it, particularly early on as you buy batteries and chargers and shit like that. depending on where you live, it may turn out to be more expensive than it is to smoke tobacco. it isn't for me, but that's because maryland is fucking awful and they charge quite a bit for a pack of cigarettes(although it's still half as much as places like new york). however, if you're purely curious or just don't want to go spending a ton of money your first time out, the best bet would be to pick up a usb passthru kit (http://store.vapor4life.com/Vapor_King_Mini_Kit_with_USB_Passthrough_p/vk-1000-miniusb.htm) and a small 5ml bottle of juice so you can fill those cartomizers a couple times to see if the experience of smoking and refilling them are something you'd like to do. it'll come out to about $35 after shipping and their discount(listed above) to try it out. those usb passthrus are fucking incredible too, and will give you a really great idea of what these things are like at their best. you'll want to get a usb passthru anyway if you're going to stick with the cartomizers, so might as well start off with it, since it's a pretty good deal.
doing it for the long haul can be a little tricky to calculate. i've gone a little crazy over the past few months and am sitting on about 80 still usable cartomizers(some older models from vendors that weren't so good). they last quite a while, and if you get about 40(they come in packs of 5) along with some batteries and some juice, you should be good for a rather long time. i'm still trying to find a sweet spot with how quickly i go through them, but i usually just drop $80 on cartomizers and then just not buy any more for two months. juice can be a bit trickier, since vapor4life has a fucking awful juice selection at the moment. if i'm running low and need some juice IMMEDIATELY i'll buy from cig easy (http://www.cigeasy.com/) since they have a fair selection and ship unreasonably fast within the united states. if i'm going to make a larger order of juice i'll go with heaven gifts (http://www.heaven-gifts.com/) which is a chinese distributor that joe(dietcoke) introduced me to when i was first starting. i was kinda iffy buying from a chinese distributor at first, but i've done business with them plenty of times and never had any major problems. i bought roughly 330ML of various juice from them today and it came out to $123. that may sound like a lot, but that much juice will probably last me until june. they're better to go with if you're going to stock up, as their shipping prices are pretty obscene at the moment. worth it if you're making a large order, not so much if you're making a small order.
man i totally rambled here and i fear that there's so much WORDS here that this is not actually usable to anybody. i kinda had to assume people with zero knowledge about electronic cigarettes would be reading this - which may or may not be the case - so some or most of this info may be useless to you guys. BUT i have been doing this for a while and have a pretty good idea of how this is working at the moment. you may totally disagree with me about how great cartomizers are, but i think they're the best bet out there from what i've seen. worth trying out if you've got some spare cash laying around.
feel free to ask me questions if certain things aren't clear.
NOTE: DO NOT CLICK THESE GODDAMN LINKS OR BUY THIS SHIT FOR YOURSELF IF YOU ARE NOT A SMOKER. NICOTINE ADDICTION IS THE WORST THING ON THE FUCKING PLANET AND IT SERIOUSLY GETS ITS HOOKS INTO YOU SEEMINGLY OVERNIGHT.
