Took alot of ibuprofen, should I get a checkup?

Back in the years 2002-2004 I had a case of osteomiolitis (aka bone staph infection) in my left humerus. I've had Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis since 6th grade (or at least that's what the doc's thought) which traveled around my body frequently. So my parents and I assumed that's why my left arm hurt so much. But this pain was different, and a bit too late we found out it was staph. But that's just a quick history to lead up to my question: When my arm was hurting 24-7, I was taking sometimes 12 Ibuprofen every 1-2 hours for months at a time. I read somewhere that you should consult a doctor if you take 10 ibuprofen in one day! I've never had any symptoms of kidney or liver damage, and I've had numerous bloodtests during all the staph business and there's never been anything said about it. The only thing is I'd go through a bottle in 2 weeks (those 500 count bottles) because I couldn't sleep for more than an hour without having to get up and take something. Please serious answers only! Thanks

I think I have a staph infection again?

Okay so I got a staph infection on my leg last summer and I went to the doctor and went on medication and it went away. Then I got another one last fall during my volleyball season and I did the same thing and again it went away (it was on my arm pit, weird I know..). Now I have two little bumps on my other arm pit...they hurt like a ***** too, just like the other ones. I think i'm going to the doctor today but why do I keep getting staph??? I know my immune system is really really weak, could that be that cause?

I have an embarrassing question?

You really need to go to the doctor, it will only get worse. I had one on my butt cheek, and when a male doctor walked in I was so worried. But these doctors have seen everything, they know what you have and they can treat you much better then you can treat yourself. He told me that they see at least 3 or 4 people a day with the same thing, it's not just you! Talk to your mom and go to the doctor! Goodluck girl. <3

How can I keep my Backyard chickens in my yard?

I live in what's "technically" the city, even though I'm sitting on about 40,000 sq ft of land. I bought out the lots surrounding my little two bedroom so, I have plenty of space for all my critters. I also have a four ft fence that goes around my entire house. However, my silver campine rooster keeps escaping the yard and getting into trouble. Yesterday he had two cats chase him down the street because he got out. I guess I would just like to know if there's any ideas for height of a fence or any other ways I could keep him in my yard. I only have one neighbor who minds him, and he makes sure his kids torment my chicken if he gets out. This needs to stop, I don't want my chicken hurt, I love him too much. Thanks for the help.

I randomly got what looks like a bad sunburn/hives what could this be from?

Could be an allergic reaction. Does it always happen after drinking alcohol? It is possible to be allergic to that. You can even be allergic to the sun to varying degrees.I would suggest talking to a doctor

Can my employer deducts a 2.5 hours a week off my paycheck for driving back to the office from the worksite?

If those terms were spelled out when you began working for this person, then you are likely compelled to comply. Otherwise, do you have a department of labour in your area? give them a call to discuss.

Why is the state of CT crying broke but yet they still have DOUBLE DIPPERS getting paid obscene salaries and?

getting pensions? That's the reason they are in a hole. How about getting rid of the double dippers for real and paying pensions according to the years of service and not according to the overtime hours they rack up to inflate their pensions? Governor Malloy wants to keep his cronies at the State happy and stick it to the rest of us that are struggling to keep food on the table and a roof over our families head. Do you think our State government is corrupt? You Betcha......
