Have you seen a neurologist? They're the people you want to see for severe and frequent headaches (assuming you've already mentioned it to your regular Dr). Bad headaches/migranes in teens can be caused by all the hormonal changes. A bump in your neck could be a muscle spasm/knot that is...

Do you get the pain every time you eat, or just when you eat late at night? A biliary tract/gallstone/pancreatic problem is going to hurt about 20-30 minutes you eat, no matter what time of day. With a biliary tract/gallbladder/pancreatic problem, it's possible to feel OK after a low fat/low...

I'll add a vote to the biliary problem! I had gallstones and had my gallbladder removed, but still had tons of pain and had a few nasty boughts of pancreatitis. Everytime they would check for a stone, they wouldn't find one. Finally, they did a sphincterotomy (I think that's right...) of my...

Yikes!! I KNOW that had to hurt!! RIP Silver Surfer. :( Keep on top of the insurance company. I hope you don't have nearly the trouble that I've had. BTW...same thing happened to my car - airbag didn't deploy as you would expect. Turns out that it had an advanced airbag system that...

Still here...for my quarterly visit. LOL I'm going to court tomorrow for that accident 2 years back. FINALLY. I hope it's not a total waste of time, because it sure feels like it. Girls are great. I'm a stay-at-home mom now, thanks in part to the crap-ass economy. We'll, I gotta...

Congrats! She is so cute! Looks like one big happy family. Enjoying the never-ending nights? I know I am. LOL

I think Keith went a little too far on the fake tan and plastic surgery. Whoever made the bobble head did a great job...it's a dead ringer! LOL I love your hair. It's very 40's pin-up girl.

Thanks guys. :D We make fine-lookin babies around here. Just ask me how smooth things are going once my Mom leaves us in about a week. *SOB* Raising 2 kids is way easier when there are 3 adults in the house!

Hi everyone! I thought it was high time I dropped by and gave everyone the good news. Tegan was born December 29th at 36 weeks 3 days. I ended up having her early because I was developing pre-eclampsia. We've had a few preemie issues with feeding, but otherwise she's been healthy and was...

If that is how you've been feeding your gecko for awhile (several months), then he's going to be a stubborn loser like my Ozzy. Just judge how much the weight bothers you. If he's maintaining weight with that diet, I'd probably leave it be. You'd probably have to darn near starve him to get...

Most likely. The Dirty Jobs show I was refering to was about a large composting company that gets road-kill (as big as deer) and tosses them in there. By the end, all you're left with is some mighty fine dirt. If you can compost a full deer, along with who know's what else...I doubt a bit of...

Ahh...LOL...I don't think I would have even gotten OTT figured out.

Huh? :inquisitive: I don't get 1/2 that...and I'm shocked you can type in chat-speak, Marcia! LOL...And "Sum" is another one I hate. Is it really too hard to type "Some" instead? REALLY!!?? What is wrong with people? I finally got GAF...5 minutes later. Still working on OTT.

LOL, I've been guilty of that once or twice when I'm not paying attention. At least I do know what the difference is. :main_thumbsup: Oh....I remember a word switch that drives me CRAZY. Know vs no WTF...how can you not know which one to use?? I've seen it used wrong both ways...

Yup. (Looking guilty) I don't notice the spelling problems so much - probably because I'm such a crappy speller - but what I do notice is the people using the wrong words...it drives me nuts! Half = Have? Accept/Except Their/There Your/You're and really...how hard is two/to/too...
