If you work in a pharmacy and you cut yourself, do they make you buy the bandage?
Answer:
Most employers have a first aid kit. Being a pharmacy, you sould expect one there. They should provide it for you.
i would doubt it they should have a first aid kit
Sure they will
That is something you should ask where you work. Work places are supposed to have first aid kits.
If you use hand sanitizer for your hands, do you need to wash your hands after?
I went to the hospital today to visit my friend who had a heart attack. I got some hand sanitizer in the front desk and I went up to see my friend. I didn't know if I should be washing my hands or not because it felt weird and sticky. Is that how hand sanitizer is supposed to be like? When I was on my way out, someone I was talking with told me that I should put hand sanitizer on my hands again. But I really felt like I should wash my hands instead. What is the right thing to do?
Answer:
Alcohol hand sanitizer should be rubbed into your hands until it dries. You should use the hand sanitizer or wash your hands when you leave the hospital. Usually a good thing to use as you head into the hospital too so you don't accidentally bring germs to someone who is very sick. No need to wash your hands after using hand sanitizer. The only time you would really need to wash your hands instead of use hand sanitizer is if your hands were visibly soiled.
Using hand sanitizer is something you use instead of washing your hands. Personally, I think washing your hands is better, but hand sanitizers kill germs just as well. By the way, you should always clean your hands after leaving a hospital.
I've found that quite a few hand sanitizers leave that icky feeling. Purell is one of the few that doesn't seem to. You were fine after using the sanitizer, it just feels off.

If you think you have a spiked drink where does one go to get it analyzed?
Answer:
just give it to one of your homegirls and see what happens. cuz most places are not going to let you take the drink out of the club. they make you pour it out. or the next best thing is to get your own drink.
I would take it right to the police. Seeing how it is an assault or attempted rape or a crime of some sort, I would think that Grissolm would want to analyze it in the lab. Seriously, if it's a crime, use taxpayer's dollars to get it done. Go to the police.
The Police, spiking a drink a felony.
Report it to the police. They can take the sample and have it analyzed. But if it does contain contraband, you'll have to be prepared to give them the name(s) of where and who you got the drink from.
freeze it and bring to cops or get a test kid from dancesafe
if you think that the person who spiked your drink had ill intentions then take it to the police. but look around they have this thing you can by to analyze it yourself they had this thing a cocktail napkin that you would be able to spill a little of your drink on and it would tell you your drink was tampered with. i don't know if it really worked. but if you are a night club you should never leave your drink kind of not smart even if they are people you know always carry or dump out when you come back to the table or drink before you get there. I'm not condoning drinking or clubbing but if you must then use wisdom even at house party's never trust anyone. be careful with your life you only have one.
If there was a felony, like rape commited,you could take it to the police.Problem is that there's no way to certify that the "drink" wasn't altered when in your custody,it may not hold up if you take it to court.Any kind of evidence must have a secure "chain of custody",meaning it is collected and signed by the investigators,and sealed.You can call the police and report what happened,and maybe they would take the sample.Call a local lab,and find out what tests they can perform,and how much. Good luck.
like everyone says police!! but you can also get these strips... i worked in a pub an know alot of people round town an they gave me these strips to take with me.. you drop a bit of your drink on the little circles and depending on the colour it tells you if its been tampered with... great and small and handy to take out.. not sure where you can get them from but ill try find out an let you know hun. x x
If you tear your miniscus in your knee how long are you out?
i think ive torn it playing soccer. can i continue to play?
what are the symptoms?
Answer:
IN ANY CASE when theres a tear in a muscle or Ligament it will take more time for healing, just dont get used to staying off it, keeping adding pressure after you start to heal thats real important.
Stay determined to heal and for yourself to feel better, then get back out there and smoke check them kids in some soccer, but you might want to look into a brace, for a little while.
Ouch both my meniscus on my right knee was torn. You are out for a while. I had to have arthroscope to take them out.Edit-- You may have swelling, locking of the knee if any peices are floating around in there, knee giving, and pain when used.After the surgery it is much better.
Depends on how much the damage is. Small tears usually heal in about 6 weeks. Bigger tears will cause locking of your knee later on. Better get an MRI done to determine the real problem and take it from there. If you can't get an MRI done, at least see a good sports medicine doctor or orthopedic surgeon. They can advise you on what to do.
You are going to have to take a break and go see a doctor if you have one or more of these symptoms. Heat surrounding the joint, swelling around your knee, it is sore to the touch on the inside of your knee, bruising develops, it is sore to walk on. Go see a doctor if any of these are your symptoms. If it is ripped the severity of the rip determines the healing time. It can take anywhere from six weeks to three months. Good luck hope this helps.

If you tarred everyone with the same brush would it cause cross infection?
Answer:
Ewww you mean you wouldnt dip into Dettol in between times?! I just had my tea and feel quite sick!On the real front I think tarring all with same brush shows a harsh side of your own personality and a closure of all other opinions except your own..and altho you are a meglomaniac you arent that bad really :0D
never thought of it like that, but it probably would!PML:))
I really think it would. Haha.
No because I would disinfect it each time I used it.

If you spray lavender linen spray on your pillow at night, does it help you to sleep better?
Answer:
A lot of people swear by it. I haven't really seen a difference but it is used in aroma therapy for having a calming effect .
perhaps. and it also smells good.
lavender does help people to relax.
lavender has soothing effects that may make sleep easier for some. try it and note if it works for you.
absolutely, its aroma therapy. lavender is calming
It seems to help me. I do that everynight i think i may have trouble drifting off. Works like a charm!
Yes, I find that lavendel helps me to sleep better too
If you put a safety pin in fire then water will it rust?
i was trying to experiment and see if i could make an earring with a safety pin.. ive managed to dull it but i am not sure if it's safe to put in and wear.
Answer:
If it was that easy then we all would make our own. Well I don't wear them but those that do would. Heat has nothing to do with making metal non rust. Gold and platinum are the metals best used. some others are good also.
um
You're putting the pin in fire, then quenching it in water. It sounds like maybe you're trying to temper the metal? This will make the metal harder (and more brittle), but i don't think it will change its resistance to corrosion.I assume that if it's a stainless steel safety pin, you're pretty safe (though even stainless steel can rust if neglected).If you really want that safety pin earring, maybe leave a pin soaking in water for a few weeks first. Examine the pin for brown stains. If you see any, it's probably rust.

If you no longer have your Gaul Bladder is that bad on your other organs?
Answer:
Hmm... It will affect the normal routine of the digestive system, especially the small intestines. But, it is more important to note that it will affect the metabolism of your body especially fat metabolismYou see the gall bladder majorly functions as storage of bile. This is secreted in the small intestine through the common hepatic duct during fat digestion and absorption. Bile is composed mainly of cholesterol and salts. This bile functions in emulsification of fats to be easily digested and absorbed into the small intestine. Imagine if the gall bladder is not around, your cholesterol level will be higher than normal. Also, the small intestine will have the difficulty on doing fat diegstion and absorption. Thus your feces will be oily or with fatty droplets (steattorhea)Thus, some doctors recommend the patient who undergo cholecystectomy (surgical removal of gall bladder) to limit intake of fatty foods
Your Gall Bladder is used to store bile produced by the liver and not essential. Many many americans have this removed and feel great with no diet restrictions. A very small minority will experience steatorrhea (smelly fatty poop) occasionally but then again who doesn't! It's best to have it but as long as you don't try to put down 2 big macs and a large fry then you should be OK. The effect on other organs... none.
If you live with serious chronic pain ever know anyone who acts as if you are faking or that it's no big deal?
I have a family memeber who is constantly making recomendations for employment opportunities although I am on disability and take medication daily for chronic pain. I find it to be so annoying, although lately I simply say 'Oh that sounds good. I'll look into it'... with no intentions of doing that what so ever. Still, I'm annoyed. Has anything like this happened with you?
Answer:
I have been bedridden for seventeen years from the hip injury and Fibromyalgia. The only person in my family who believed I was really sick was my father. Everyone else was convinced I was just a mental case. They never have changed their opinion in all these years. There is simply no way for anyone to understand what is going on internally with the Chronic pain body. Because you look absolutely normal, yet you feel like you will never perform normally again. No one can see what the problem is. And since it is not such a known illness such as cancer it does not get the respect that people with cancer would get. No one would question a cancer patient about his or her illness because everyone has heard of it. If you have bad days because of your illness with cancer no one would question it. I'm enclosing a letter that I have written for clients to give to their families when they have Fibromyalgia. you can take and just change the words to chronic pain. I hope this helps you deal with your family better. Letter to people that don't have Fibromyalgia (FMS) and/or MPS: Having FMS/MPS means many things change, and a lot of them are invisible. Unlike having cancer or being hurt in an accident, most people do not understand even a little about FMS/MPS and its effects, and of those that think they know, many are actually misinformed. In the spirit of informing those who wish to understand ... ... These are the things that I would like you to understand about me before you judge me...
- Please understand that being sick doesn't mean I'm not still a human
being. I have to spend most of my day in considerable pain and
exhaustion, and if you visit I probably don't seem like much fun to be
with, but I'm still me stuck inside this body. I still worry about work and my family and friends, and most of the time I'd still like to hear you talk about yours too. - Please understand the difference between "happy" and "healthy". When you've got the flu you probably feel miserable with it, but I've been sick for years. I can't be miserable all the time; in fact I work hard at not being miserable. So if you're talking to me and I sound happy, it means I'm happy. That's all. It doesn't mean that I'm not in a lot of pain, or extremely tired, or that I'm getting better, or any of those things. Please, don't say, "Oh, you're sounding better!” I am not sounding better, I am sounding happy. If you want to comment on that, you're welcome. - Please understand that being able to stand up for ten minutes, doesn't necessarily mean that I can stand up for twenty minutes, or an hour. And, just because I managed to stand up for thirty minutes yesterday doesn't mean that I can do the same today. With a lot of diseases you're either paralyzed, or you can move. With this one it gets more confusing. - Please repeat the above paragraph substituting, "sitting", "walking",
"thinking", "being sociable" and so on ... it applies to everything. That's what FMS/MPS does to you. - Please understand that FMS/MPS is variable. It's quite possible (for me, it's common) that one day I am able to walk to the park and back,
while the next day I'll have trouble getting to the kitchen. Please don't attack me when I'm ill by saying, "But you did it before!” if you want me to do something then ask if I can. In a similar vein, I may need to cancel an invitation at the last minute, if this happens please do not take it personally. - Please understand that "getting out and doing things" does not make me feel better, and can often make me seriously worse. Telling me that I need a treadmill, or that I just need to loose (or gain) weight, get this exercise machine, join this gym, try these classes... may frustrate me to tears, and is not correct... if I was capable of doing these things, don't you know that I would? I am working with my doctor and physical therapist and am already doing the exercise and diet that I am suppose to do. Another statement that hurts is, "You just need to push yourself more, exercise harder..." Obviously FMS/MPS deals directly with muscles, and because our muscles don't repair themselves the way your muscles do, this does far more damage than good and could result in recovery time in days or weeks or months from a single activity. Also, FMS/MPS may cause secondary depression (wouldn't you get depressed if you were hurting and exhausted for years on end!) but it is not created by depression. - Please understand that if I say I have to sit down/lie down/take these pills now, that I do have to do it right now - it can't be put off or forgotten just because I'm out for the day (or whatever). FMS/MPS does not forgive. - If you want to suggest a cure to me, don't. It's not because I don't
appreciate the thought, and it's not because I don't want to get well.
It's because I have had almost every single one of my friends suggest
one at one point or another. At first I tried them all, but then I realized that I was using up so much energy trying things that I was making myself sicker, not better. If there were something that cured, or even helped, all people with FMS/MPS then we'd know about it. This is not a drug-company conspiracy, there is worldwide networking (both on and off the Internet) between people with FMS/MPS, and if something worked we would KNOW. - If after reading that, you still want to suggest a cure, then do it, but don't expect me to rush out and try it. I'll take what you said and discuss it with my doctor.
In many ways I depend on you - people who are not sick - I need you to visit me when I am too sick to go out... Sometimes I need you help me with the shopping, cooking or cleaning. I may need you to take me to the doctor, or to the physical therapist. I need you on a different level too ... you're my link to the outside world... if you don't come to visit me then I might not get to see you. ... And, as much as it's possible, I need you to understand me.
Oh wow, can I relate! I'm also on disability for severe head and spinal injuries as well as MS that was brought on by the head injury. The spinal injury is also pretty severe and gets aggravated by drop foot from the MS. Thankfully, I have my solution through daily oral medication (Percocet/Oxycodone). The problem with pain from MS is that it's exacerbated due to neurology, which can't be seen, so everyone thinks you're faking it. But I was introduced to a job where I'll build my own business from home, which helps my spine. And I have physical therapy three days a week to maintain my mobility. But I understand your frustration. E-mail me if you want to talk or have any questions, okay?We Gone!
Yep. My grandmother told me I have Munchausen Syndrome and I'm a drug addict. She acts like you can just walk into a pain clinc and demand heavy narcotics and get them. I spent over a year in debiltating pain before a doctor found out what was wrong and said pain management was my only option other than a total hysterectomy that might not even help. People just don't understand that pain is not always a symptom, it's also an illness that can be as debilitating and devastating as cancer. They think you aren't sick because they can't see the pain. then when you DO get into a pain management program and get on medications that work, they treat you like a junkie because you take narcotics. Nobody realizes all we go through-- random urine tests, pill counts, opioid contracts, etc.-- just to be able to get the medication that allows us to live our lives as normally as possible. My grandmother has high blood pressure and takes pills every day to control it... why is SHE not a drug addict? It's the same deal: she has a medical condition and she takes a medication to control it. Same deal with chronic pain... but some people will always judge and never understand. Don't waste your energy worrying about it or being annoyed. People like that will never change. Just do what you're doing already and don't give it a second thought.
I know what you mean.. someone physically disabled, like missing a leg or arm,, people pity , but because I suffered head injuries and it is mostly all inside and hard to see, so, they misunderstand and even sometimes hate me for sometimes acting erratic, or just not knowing as much as they know, or without as sharp a mind. Only Nurses understand.

If you just took a really warm shower and walk outside in the cold..is that bad for you?
Answer:
actually, mild hypothermia hampers your body's ability to defend itself against common airborn pathogens. Simply spending too much time in cold weather makes you much more vulnerable to bacteria, and when you are wet you lose heat much faster due to evaporation and conduction. As your body releases heat, your white blood cells become much less effective. So while it doesn't actually make you sick, this can weaken your body's defense systems and make it easier for you to get sick.
Yes b/c warm water opens ur pores n u can get a chill. (same thing with wet hair)
it should be okay=the problems start when you are around someone who has a cold or flu
No, you might get cold. Maybe goose bumps, but it's not bad for you.
NO, no, no. I can't believe some people still believe in this crap. Some people still believe in what their ignorant mothers used to tell them as young children. Let me say this, when you swim in the sea, you go in the water and out a hundred times, do you get sick, even on the windiest day ? Think about it.
before or after you got dressed?
No, just be dressed appropriately for the weather.
If you have shoulder subluxations, how long does that take to heal?
Ive been doing physical therapy for 5 weeks now. Ive been DHing for softball, becasue i cant throw, b/c that is what causes my shoulder to sublux. How many weeks of PT should i do before throwing again? I know everyone is different, so i mean in general.
Answer:
Its minimum of 6 wks in order to strengthen your muscles to help prevent future subluxations. It is very important to note that you MUST continue with the strengthening exercises indefinitely to help prevent future injury. The strength you gain in PT will not stay if you stop doing the exercises. Also there is a chance that PT may not be the solution and you may need surgery if your shoulder is too loose.

If you have severe Migraines to the piont you can't work or are missing work can you get disability?
My mom has severe migraines to the piont that she is missing work and might lose her job but she has them like every week and if she can't work we don't know what to do. Someone suggested That she get disability. I wanted to know if you could get disability with severe migraines.
Answer:
There is a new development in migraine therapy:
http://www.neurologyreviews.com/feb04/nr...
She is prime candidate for disability, because it keeps her from being able to work. So, have your mom see her doctor, %26 tell the doctor what her plans are. Next, she needs to contact the SS office %26 ask them how to get the ball rolling, so that she can apply for disability. In some cases, it's best to hire a lawyer who specializes in disabilities. They'll go to bat for your mom. Tell your mom to keep any %26 all future paperwork that pertains to applying for disabilty, so she has a record of everything. Your mom will need records from her doctor, that deals with her migraines, etc. Social Security will also send her to a doctor or two of their own choice, but this is standard procedure, so she needs to do as they ask. It's not uncommon for your mom to be turned down for disablity, once, twice, or more, but she has to keep fighting for it until she gets it. I know of no one who gets approved the first time around, so she shouldn't get discouraged %26 that's why it'd be in her best interest to hire a lawyer to handle her case. Once your mom is approved for disabilty, she will then be able to receive Medicare %26 Medicaid. She'll also be eligible for the food card too, which looks like a credit card. She'll attend a class, showing her how the card works. It really helps to be able to buy food with that card each month. Good luck to your mom!! :)
Your mother is going to wait A LONG TIME FOR THAT SOCIAL SECURITY. I get it for hemiplegic migraines. That mimic strokes and cause paralysis on one side of my body for days at a time. I have a medi port and receive home health care. With documentation from the Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic, it took me 2 and 1/2 years plus intervention from my state Congress Woman to get my Social Security approved. It is statistically proven that people that apply for disability with mental issues get approved faster than those with health problems. My aunt died of cancer. She was approved 2 weeks before passing. She had waited 1 year for this approval. Also, your mother has worked, she will be paid based on her income. Social Security Disability is different from Social Security Income which is the program that also provides food stamps and other help. She most likely WILL NOT qualify for those programs. She will get a check based on what she has paid into Social Security but nothing over the Family Cap which can be found on the Social Security website.She can go to the doctor, keep all documentation but they are still going to send her to their own doctors and it is best to start out with a Social Security attorney that will request a portion of the benefit amount and not any money up front. She will only need the attorney after her initial denial. If she is denied. I wish the best.
Yes you can through Social Security. Call them and tell them you problem and ask for disability.
tell your mom to take blood pressure medication to prevent the migraines. I tried everything, but did not find relief from migraines till I started on high blood pressure medication.
Why to miss the job? We can treat it.
There is no medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation;
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 100% success in treating migraine %26H/A confirms it.
Acupuncture is the best treatment. I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.
Avoid late sleeping if possible;spicy, sour, stale bakery foods and alcohole.
Sweet foods, sweet fruits, milk with sugar at bed time preferably or meals, rice and good sleep will help you.
But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it isvery strong. Source(s):

Answer:
There is a new development in migraine therapy:

She is prime candidate for disability, because it keeps her from being able to work. So, have your mom see her doctor, %26 tell the doctor what her plans are. Next, she needs to contact the SS office %26 ask them how to get the ball rolling, so that she can apply for disability. In some cases, it's best to hire a lawyer who specializes in disabilities. They'll go to bat for your mom. Tell your mom to keep any %26 all future paperwork that pertains to applying for disabilty, so she has a record of everything. Your mom will need records from her doctor, that deals with her migraines, etc. Social Security will also send her to a doctor or two of their own choice, but this is standard procedure, so she needs to do as they ask. It's not uncommon for your mom to be turned down for disablity, once, twice, or more, but she has to keep fighting for it until she gets it. I know of no one who gets approved the first time around, so she shouldn't get discouraged %26 that's why it'd be in her best interest to hire a lawyer to handle her case.

If you have inflammed hip: What do you do to help the pain(besides exercise and medicine and heat pack)?
Answer:
If it is inflammed, I don't think you should exercise that hip. Rest and cool compress would be a start. I don't think heat pad is going to help either. Want to get the inflamation down not up.
If you can stand to soak in a bath tub, get in a hot tub and add some Epsom Salts and some ginger to the water. It helps. Light a candle while you're there and listen to some good calming music. You may feel like a new woman.
ice it for 15-20 minutes, 'then' use heat. repeat as often as you like
i was told about some thing called Tp Gold here is where i got it http://www.tpgold.com hope it works for you
If you have hernia can shooting pains occur if so how serious is this?
Answer:
Why dont you ring your local hospital casualty A%26E department and ask if it is something you should be at all concerned about. OR the NHS direct 0845 46 47I have an Umbilical hernia and its often quite sore but its a dull ache sore rather than shooting pains. Though I have had shooting pain with it, but theyr rare and they only 'spasm' on and off for a minute or so and then go away, enough for me to forget them.
But If you are concerned enough about yours to put it in here then I am guessing that you have had far more pain than Im describing. And usually the casualty departments are quite good and the NHS direct are excellentEither way I think you need to contact someone, if only to be on the safe side and have your mind put at rest
i would think that if shooting pains were occuring due to a hernia, then it would be serious.
I am an alternative medicinal therapist and an ex nurse and there are 3 types of hernia, umbilical, inguinal and hiatus. Inguinal can be very serious if not life threatening.It is treated by surgery, if it isn't treated it can strangulate and become gangrenous. Usually this type is found as a lump in the groin areagloriashealth@btinternet.com
If you have contact lens and dont have any solution can you use water ?
beauty, contact lens,
Answer:
You can if you need to but its best to use contact solution because water alone wont get rid of the dirt and protein on your contact lens nor will it disinfect them.
I've used water before, it tends to dry my eyes out, but it helps to keep the lens hydrated until you can get more solution. (get solution as soon as possible)
Water will work in a pinch, but it's not a good idea because the ph of water is not like that of tears. Water will irritate your eyes.Contact lens solution matches a person's ph and it helps keep your lens in good shape.
Yes, you can use water instead. Just remember to reduce the amount of bacteria in that water as much as possible so use very clean water. Use bottled water if it is available. I met a girl who uses saliva instead of the solution and nothing happened to her because she was used to it. However, do not take unnecessary risks. The key word here is HYGIENE
yeas with very littel amount of salt
u can use "bottled" water, but actually clear water is not actually a good choice, it'll not kill the bateria.
Do not use water, it will dry out your eyes, in some cases, the contact actually dried to the eye and had to be removed by a doctor. the best thing to do is find the Visine made especially for contacts, or go back to your doc. he may have a sample bottle

If you have a spine brace on, are you supposed to keep it on when you take a dump?
I dont know because i just got it and it's cutting my peanus off when i sit.
Answer:
yes, the spine brace is there for a very important reason. leave it on. when you sit, most people tend to slouch, and that defeats the purpose of the brace. find a way to cushion it....do you have it on properly? pad it with a washcloth, or something else to help protect your more sensitive parts, but whatever you do, leave it on until the doctor tells you that you can take it off.
Yes you should leave it on. Try putting a wash cloth under the lower edge so it doesn't dig into the skin near your penis when you sit down on the toilet.

If you have a huge knot on your foot and it hurts but you can still move your toes, is your foot broken?
It only hurts on the left side of my left foot.
Answer:
I want to tell you that if you aren't sure if it is broken, then it probably isn't. Since you can move your toes, I also want to say that you probably bruised the bone. But since I cannot see an X ray, I also want to tell you that the best way to find out is to see a doctor and an X ray- there is a possibility of a hairline fracture. Don't put all your weight on it if it hurts is my rule of thumb. Make an appointment to see a doctor ASAP, put ice on the foot that hurts, and prop it up so that the wound is above your heart. This will help with the inflammation and the pain, also take an anti-inflammatory medicine and rest.
And, please see a doctor!
Maybe. Have a Podiatrist or MD look at it. You have to use those puppies for the rest of your life.

If you have a cut inside you mouth what home remedy could you use to reduce swelling?
Answer:
rinse your mouth with salt water (yes will sting a little but just for a second) Cuts inside the mouth heal pretty quickly anyway, but once you've rinsed with salt water, put baking soda on the cut. It will heal faster.
Put ice in your mouth. It will help, also some peroxide mouth wash. Good luck!
a little ice and then use alum once it's started healing.
Those are the worst. I have a bad tendency to chew the inside of my cheek, and then I can't help but accidentally bite down on it.
Another thing I've found that helps is sucking on peppermint. It keeps me from biting, the the peppermint soothes a little.
hydrogen peroxide on a qtipsalt water
a 1/5 solution of hydrogen peroxide to water (that is one part peroxide to 5 parts water) will reduce sweeling and help fight infection. If any foreign matter gets into the cut, GENTLY brush away particles with a soft tooth brush and re rinse
If you had a bedwetting problem growing up, did you ever have a "relapse" after you had basically stopped...
...and wet the bed again, even though it was months or years after you had originally stopped?Or, once you stopped, did you completely stop for good? I was a bedwetter until I was 12 and have had this happen periodically ever since. Nothing has ever been found medically wrong with me (other than bedwetting)... basically I've just been told that the mechanism that keeps my bladder from overfilling during sleep never quite matured to the point of being completely foolproof, so that even though I'm OK on 99% of nights, it's still possible for me to have an "accident" if I'm really tired, sick, or under too much stress.Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? How do you cope with the unpredictability of the occasional "accident"... or do you just try not to worry about it? I've heard that it's more common than people would think, but am curious how common this is among people who wet the bed as kids, and what those who are affected do to cope with it.
Answer:
I wet the bed until I was about 12 or 13 too. The doctor told me that I had a small bladder and so I was unable to hold it as long. After I got older I didn't wet the bed nearly as much, but I did periodically. I got in the habit, still to this day, of going to the bathroom before I go to bed, even if I don't feel I have to. I would often have dreams where I was going to the bathroom and that was my cue, in the middle of the night, to get up and go potty. Sometimes I would wake up in time sometimes I wouldn't. It was hard for me to cope with. Especially now that I am married. In the five years I've been married I have wet the bed a couple of times. It's really, really embarrasing. But thankfully I have an understanding husband. I haven't wet the bed in about two years and that was the first time in three. I think that, unfortunately, for us with this problem it will be with us for the rest of our lives. As we get older the episodes become less and less, but there is always the chance it will happen again. You are definitely not alone in this area. I had a boyfriend with the same problem. It took me a long time to confess to my husband about this problem.
Some times when i get too drunk and pass out i piss my self,but thats about it.
Bedwetting tends to occur when you sleep too deeply to wake up when your bladder is full. There are medications that can help, but if it only happens occasionally, perhaps you could put an incontenence bedpad under your sheet in the appropriate place. You would only need to change it when you have an accident. It will protect your mattress without the need for uncomfortable plastic mattress covers. Then just clean the sheets and bedpad with a little bleach. You should be able to find bedpads at a local pharmacy or Walmart, but if not, then check out this link.
http://www.northshorecare.com/underpads1...
It happens all the time. It sounds like you covered the basics. Parts or body regulatory methods may not have fully developed. In some cases the relapse is caused by stress. You have control over it but whatever mental or physical stress is happening can take over the part of your mind that was controlling the problem.
Recognizing the stress and trying to control it, either through relaxation techniques such as meditation or yoga or eliminating the stressors can help if that is the problem.
As far as what else you can do. Mostly forget about it. Try adult diapers during particularly bad times. Also just make sure your bed partners knows what is going on. Mattress protection is very available. it isn't like the old noisy plastic stuff your mom used when you where 12.
Good luck

If you get shot in both kneecaps, how bad is the situation?
Answer:
Dude it's pretty alright if you consider the following malfortunes. Getting your nose ripped off with chopsticks. Having hair growing from the bottom of your feet.Getting asked to clean someone else's toilet. Tube socks.having your eyes turned backwards so you have to look at your brain all day.Getting told you are two years older than you really are. Finding out that all your cool finger grooves are just used to ID you for that liquor store you robbed last Tuesday. At 9:20 PM. And it was only $240 dollars. Paying too much for car insurance.Those are all way worse buddy.
What kind of a weird question are you asking here? Obviously the situation would be dire.
"aside from the kneecap,the stomach is the most painful place to get shot":from the Quentin Tarantino film"Resevior Dogs.
My granfather use to refer to that as kneecapping. Done with either a bullet or a bat. According to him, they would never walk right again, but i think they can rebuild knees with artificial caps now. Who knows for sure, give it a try and see how it goes.
Depends ,if it is your knee caps then it is bad, if it is someone elses knees then good
