The Health Thread

Just do it.

My health question: does anyone know a really strong hayfever tablet?

That's just cetrizine and doesn't work on me

I had one, but fixed it after I went a bit crazy with nail scissors and TCP in some kind of drunken fit while muttering 'I have to relieve the pressure' or something similar.

Mine was actually infected and disgusting though.

I think you're just supposed to keep it clean and according to the internet, you should also 'Try to lift up the corner of the nail that is digging into the skin. Take a small piece of cotton or gauze and roll it between your fingers to form a small roll or wick. Then place the roll between the nail and the skin to keep it elevated. This is painful but is the most important part of home treatment. After every soaking, try to push the roll a little farther in. Change the roll out every day. It may take from seven to 15 days for the nail to grow out so that it does not poke into the skin any longer.'

Basically, don't just hack at the nail with scissors like I did!

just like periods.

How appropriate are lady related problems in here?

Well, Kim/ Luco El Loco once said (in 2006) that VR is the very definition of inappropriate.

Is there any cream or lotion or something that might be able to hide one of my scars?

i feel sort of all right about most of them. But i feel very embarrassed and self-conscious about one of them.

there's loads of medical grade make-up brands out there to try.

i don't know about where you live, but here you can get an appointment with the red cross camouflage clinic and they'll try some out on you and prescribe ones that work. it's pretty good.
