Toothache solutions

Orajel

http://www.orajel.co...

If you don't have access to a pharmacy, below are some home remedies:

1. Using Icepack: Ice offers excellent numbing properties. Hold the ice around affected area and try to compress it there. Most often, the pain gets reduced as it is excellent in suppressing pain at nerve endings.

2. Get fresh peppermint (approximately 5 grams), add it in one cup of water and boil it, add half table spoon of salt. Make the water lukewarm and drink it. When ingested, this solution acts as pain killer and can eradicate other pains like headaches.

3. Using cucumber: Get cucumber from any vegetable stores, cut it into thicker slices. Hold these pieces on and around the tooth that is paining and it will start working to give soothing effect. If cucumber is refrigerated, it is better as its very chillness acts as catalyst to its soothing effect.

4. You can try out swig of whiskey over the irritating tooth. Once the gums surrounding absorb some quantity of alcohol, it delivers a kind of anesthesia to the affected area which results in lessening the pain.

5. Using oats: If toothache is experiencing the presence of abscess at gums then holding oats there can draw out the puss. The pain will be reduced.

6. Using dried peppermint leaves: Place a small stack of dried peppermint leaves around the aching tooth for 15 minutes and then spit out. Repeat this procedure 10 to 15 times a day. Peppermint acts in a dual way. First, it brings the abscess to the upper surface if there any and then acts as pain killer.

7. Using real vanilla extracts: Get a cotton ball and put some real vanilla extract on it. Apply it on the inflamed location and you will be amazed to find out that it numbs!

8. Using Clove: From ancient times, clove oil has been one of the regular instant therapies. If you are not able to find the clove oil, then search your kitchen shelves to find out few cloves. Try to squeeze this towards the painful area. Clove being analgesic in nature will reduce the soreness.

9. Asafetida: Another miraculous pain killer! Take a half spoon of it and mix it with bit of lemon juice to make the paste of it. Make this paste Luke warm and apply the mixture with help of cotton ball.

10. Use of Iodine: just a drop of iodine put on the tooth do the job. But you have to be cautious and you should not swallow it.

11. Oil of Oregano: Although it tastes bad and leaves a burning sensation behind after application, it has got natural antibiotic properties.

12. Garlic: Make a paste of garlic and add some rock salt to it. Make a homogeneous mixture to apply on the affected area.

hey
have just joined this site
looking 4ward to it

THANKS SO MUCH FOR ADDING ME TO YOUR GROUP

REVISED

How do we send the same message to all our Friends... for example --- any occasion like Christmas?

At this moment, i have 165 Friends, so typing each of their names in the Send To box every time i want to communicate to them all would be a time consuming chore. i do have a relatively easy solution that i use.

First, i have a clipboard helper called Clipboard Magic.

Clipboard Magic is a Windows clipboard enhancement utility. It can dramatically enhance your productivity when cutting and pasting text and links or for filling in web forms. It allows you to save and access hundreds of clips from numerous 'lists' which makes it very convenient for categorizing Windows clipboard clips.

Download (it's FREE) from the site below:

http://www.cyber-mat...

One of my 'Lists' is 'Fun Advice - PEOPLE' where i list all of my Friends, one per line, and a little information about them.

Now i open Windows Notepad. i also have my 'Clipboard Magic' open with the first Friend's username selected. (The Clipboard Magic screen shows on top of what you're working on but you can position it anywhere so that it doesn't interfere with your work.)

Now i go to the Notepad and hit 'Ctrl, Shift, V' then Enter. As i repeat this, the Clipboard Magic is pasting, in sequence, each of the Friends names and information into the Notepad. It's a good thing to 'Save' your Notepad every so often so that if you make a mistake or have a power failure, you don't have to repeat all your effort.

Now i delete all the information under each Friend's username. Then i start moving each name up on the same line as the name above it, separated by a comma and a space. You can get about ten names per line. On the last name in the line, put a comma and space and hit Enter which starts you on a new line. Repeat the above procedure until all your Friends are listed on several lines. SAVE your work.

Now i copy each line, one at a time, back into my Clipboard Magic list. In my case it takes up eleven lines.

Now, open a new Notepad page and 'Ctrl, Shift, V' each of your lines from Clipboard Magic back into Notepad. DO NOT use the Enter key to add new lines but simply keep going with the 'Ctrl, Shift, V' at the end of each line and it will automatically utilize the next line in Notepad as needed. Continue until all your lines have been added to the Notepad page. If there is a comma and space at the end of the LAST line, delete them. Save your work.

Now, highlight the whole page and copy it into your Clipboard Magic list. You now have ONE list entry that is composed of all your Friends and can be pasted into the Send To box on Compose Private Mail in my Fun Mail.

Remember to include your username in the list so that you will receive a copy of what you are sending out (yes, you CAN Fun Mail yourself).

It sounds like a lot of work, but you only have to set it up one time, so future Fun Mails to all your Friends are a snap.

Whenever you receive a new Friend, simply open your Clipboard Magic Friends list and 'Open' the line that has all your friends on it, add a comma and space to it then type in your new Friend's name. Also, open your Notepad so that you can add the name to the last line there. This way you have two places where the lists are available in case you foul one of them up.

You will also find that Clipboard Magic is exceptionally useful for many copy & paste tasks. So far mine has 45 lists with some of the lists having hundreds of entries.

heyy.

Thank You for adding me to the group!!!

 
Why is bulimia a bad way to lose weight?

I don't think you understand that bulimia and anorexia are both psychological conditions. You don't MAKE yourself either of those things--they are diseases of the mind. They aren't substitutes for healthy diet and exercise, which WILL help you lose weight.

Instead, it will slow down your metabolism, making it harder to lose weight. Eventually, anorexia and bulimia will demineralize teeth. Your teeth may become sensitive to heat, cold, and acids. Eventually, your teeth may severely decay, erode away from fillings, and finally fall out. Sexy, huh?

Your blood potassium levels can drop significantly with regular vomiting or use of certain diuretics. This can disturb your heart's rhythm and even produce sudden death.

Salivary glands may swell because of infection and irritation from the vomit. You may at some point suffer from stomach ulcers and bleeding and tears in your esophagus. Constipation may result from frequent laxative use.

When bulimic episodes occur over time, a sequence of chronic illnesses can occur affecting your heart, liver, gastrointestinal tract, and/or neurologic complications.

The way to lose weight is through healthy diet and exercise. Eat 4-6 SMALL meals a day, consisting of lean meats, whole-grain starches, fruits and vegetables. Set up your plate so 1/4 is meat, 1/4 is starch, 1/2 is fruit and veggies, and there is minimal fat.

If you do this as well as drink 8 glasses of water a day and exercise for 30 min a day a few times a week, you will see healthy results.

Good luck.

Bulimia Nervosa

Signs, symptoms, treatment, and help

http://www.helpguide...

Hey, thanks for inviting me to join the group - looking forward to everyone's input - have a great day !!

Thank you for inviting me to your group.
This is perfect! If I have anymore problems, I can always post them here and get advice.

Anorexia followup

Anorexia Nervosa

Understanding the signs, symptoms, causes and treatment

http://www.helpguide...

You are not alone. People with anorexia usually feel that it is a 'control' issue and that they are losing control if they yield to the opinions of counselors and therapists.

What do you do when you have a broken arm? You go to a doctor and do what he says to get better. It's the same with you. YOU have a broken arm and need to do what the doctor says to get it to heal properly.

When you have a broken arm, you have to yield control to the doctor. He is more knowledgeable and knows how to fix it. If you want it to stay broken then you ignore his advice and treatment.

What do YOU want? Do you want to get well or do you want to DIE? Those are your only choices.

Just remember, it is against the law for these people to harm you. Therefore, it is logical that they really are trying to help you. Trust them, not your brain's misguided thoughts that are trying to cause you to rebel against their advice.

It is hard for you to consider releasing the control that you 'think' you have. YOU only have the control to destroy yourself because of the false image that your brain is feeding you. Relinquish that control to your advisors and you will slowly start gaining health AND happiness.

Don't be afraid to trust. You have your whole life ahead of you. By trusting now you will be improving your future and the rest of your life.

 
A picture of what an anorexic sees when looking in a mirror.

http://osocio.org/im...

A movie of anorexics. If you click on the ones on the right in the Related Videos box you will see lots of anorexics. (Avoid the first one 'video shock' as it will require you to be over 18 and to join.)

http://www.youtube.c...

How to gain weight as an anorexic?

Go to the site below:

Average Teenager Weight

http://lifestyle.ilo...

or

Normal Adult Height-Weight Range Table

http://www.recipehou...

Pick a weight that is in the middle for your age/height range. Write that weight down. That will be the weight that, when you reach it, you can start worrying about getting fat if you cross it.

Now, start eating. Slowly in small amounts until your body gets used to eating again. Always eat breakfast since that will jump-start your metabolism and help your body burn calories so that you don't get fat.

Build up to drinking 8 eight ounce glasses of water per day, one glass before every meal (except breakfast) and before every snack.

Don't worry about checking the weight scale. Checking it once a week is sufficient.

Get sufficient exercise to help burn calories and to tone your body's muscles. That will help make your body look good while helping to keep off excess fat and it will help you feel good about yourself.

Check out this link for exercise information:

http://www.fitstep.c...

Remember, in your case, you have a bad body image of yourself. It isn't real but it is what's keeping you from eating. Stick to the formula above, while reminding yourself that the food you eat IS making you healthier and more beautiful, and you will find that being real and looking good is easy and that you have no reason to fear food.

An answer to anorexia by Lucylocket:

I am recovering from anorexia. It truely isn't AS hard as I thought it would be. I got professional help a few weeks ago and am doing so much better.

If you are an adult please seek professional help. See you doctor and tell them that you think you may be underweight and that you believe you may have an eating disorder. They will assess you and if they discover that this is true they will refer you to an eating disorder specialist who will help you to recover. Believe me it is effective.

If you are a child/teenager please please please speak to your family/a responsible adult and explain that you believe your eating habits are out of control and you need to seek professional help.

Anorexia is a phychological illness- it is not your fault and you can recover from it physically and emotionally if you stop it before it is too late. If you are similar to what I was like my inner voice told me not to change and not to recover not to gain weight but you must be strong and get help. Where is the point in killing yourself through starvation when there is so much to live for.

First of all, do not gain weight too quickly because this can be very dangerous, try to gain around 1 pound per week. If you are a female the best thing to do is eat 2000 calories per day- feel free to eat junk food but make sure that the staples in your diet are a healthy balance of protein, (meat/fish), dairy (milk, yogurt etc), starch (cereals/breads/pastas etc) and fruit and veg. Limit the amount of excercise you do.

Official stastistics have proven that males find women with a BMI of 20 to be the most physcially attractive. Votes dropped dramatically when the BMI went lower than 18.5 (what is considered the minimum healthy BMI)
You will appear much more attractive to others when you are a healthy weight. Goodluck

        Simply a Rose to brighten your day,
        And maybe lessen the cares in your way;
        And also, too, to help you to know,
        That in knowing you, many others grow!

Anorexia

i got the impression that you may have an eating disorder. Since Anorexia is a killer disease i just thought i'd send you some relevant information.

Info relating to a member of Fun Advice who 'supposedly' died from anorexia:

Your day is done, your troubles past,
From now on, you're free at last;
No more fears to stress your day,
THIS life is finished, you're on your way.


i first came across one of Blair's (bass) Questions on June 13, 2008, which happened to be the day she joined Fun Advice.

According to her posts, she was 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighed 102 pounds. Two and a half months later she was down to 53 pounds. She was definitely anorexic.

She hid her condition from her family, friends and even her boyfriend. She wouldn't / couldn't admit that she had an eating disorder.

June 20th: She still thinks that she is fat and that everyone is lying to her.

June 23rd: She complained of stomach and chest pains and a shakiness of her hands. She was advised to start eating and to also see a doctor. Naturally, she could do neither because of the mental state of the eating disorder.

July 13th: She admits that it is like a war in her head (eat or not to eat) but refuses intervention. Still won't admit that she has a mental problem / eating disorder.

Late July: She read an article about girls with anorexia and bulimia and wondered if that was possible.

Approximate end of July: Fun Mailed me that she had taken everyone's advice and told her mom.

Fun Mail from Blair around August 3rd

i can be right.
i have to be right.
this is the only thing i am right about.
everything else sucks.

i just coughed up bloood, again.

i think my life is slowly comong to an end but why am i not scared?? why cant i stop doing what i know is doing this to me?

August 4th: She was admitted to the hospital and had an operation that inserted a feeding tube into her stomach. She hates everything and still doesn't comprehend that it is SHE that has a problem. Regrets loss of control over her own actions (the choice to eat or not to eat). She still thinks she is fat. Still can't force herself to eat.

August 19th: Says she hasn't been happy for a very long time.

August 21st: My response to her third from last Question that she posted

http://www.funadvice.com/q/i_need_some_advice_on_what_...

If you're only 24 kilos, that's only 53 pounds. You still need to gain a lot more weight in order to get healthy.

There is nothing any of us can say that is going to help you and your situation. YOU have to decide that YOU want to get well and start leading a normal life. That's all it takes. YOU, making the decision, then following through on those things that will benefit you.

I really wish there was something that I could say or do, but there isn't. All I can do is keep hearing about your dangerous condition and keep wondering how much longer it's going to be until your body totally quits.

I'll be sorry to hear of your passing away but will know that WE did nothing wrong, that that is the normal and natural result of anorexia. Maybe we can use your story as a way to try to influence some other young person away from this mental eating disorder that is such a killer of the world's young people.

Ted

Fun Mail from Blair around August 22nd

how dare you say that i am going to die soon.
and then tell me that you are going to use my story!!
HOW DARE YOU!

Fun Mail from Blair around August 24th

well i am going to my inpatient treatment center in a couple of hours. i still have my feeding tube in.

i really don't want to go, and i hate my parents so much for forcing me to go. i do not want to put weight on, i do not want to get counciling.
i hate this sooo much. but most of all i am so scared to go, i am petrified!

Any way, i told my older brother the other day about this website and asking people for help, and he said it was a good idea, and he said (because i dont think i am allowed to use computers) that he would come on here and let people know if anything should happen to me.

But i also wanted to say, the other day when you said that if i died that you would use my story and i got all pissed off, i was thinking about it and if anything should happen to me, i would like you to post a post on this website with my story, so other people will know and if they have an eating disorder, then they can hopfully get help.

please that is all i ask for,
promise me you will do it.

thanks.
blair.x

That was my last contact with Blair. Over the next six days all my contacts were with her brother Nate.

Blair passed away at 8:30 PM on August 28, 2008. She was 15 years old.

Those whom i meet

Those whom i meet, as Friends i greet,
And as a Friend i treat them so;
That when in need, or sadly grieved,
i may help their Spirits grow.

For unto this world, as a shepherd i came,
With a Life that's not my own;
And a purpose plain, that's not for fame,
But to help my friends get home.

So when i hear, upon my ear,
The sounds of troubled Souls;
i can do no less, then to do my best,
To help them toward their goals.

And i know i'll find, with the passage of time,
That i've helped their Spirits grow some;
And though appreciated, thanks aren't awaited,
For my friends are always welcome.


Ted

(A Fun Mail from Nate, Blair's brother.)

okay.
beeen a long time, i don't know what to do!
when blair died i found a letter she wrote to me in the draw next to her bed.
and everytime i read it i just get so upset, but i can't not read it.
what do i do??
i cant throw the letter away! but i can't stop reading it, and i hate reading it!

this is the letter..

Hey Nate.

I love you so so much. And I don’t know what to say to you, all I can say is I am sorry. I am so so so sorry. I never meant to put you through so much pain. I didn’t mean to, honestly. I will try to explain this to you as best as I can, and I really want to you to listen, and really try and understand as much as you can, okay!!

I honestly didn’t and sometimes still don’t think what I am doing is wrong, I still like what I do. I first just wanted to go onto a diet and loose some weight and then everyone was telling me how good I looked, and I really liked it, so I just started to eat less and less, until less became hardly anything. I could never reach my target, my target got lower and lower. I would only ever eat at dinner time. I would sit at the table, and mainly push my food around on my plate, cut my food into tiny little pieces hide it under other foods and in my napkin, and what I did eat, I would go and throw it up straight away. I would use excuses like I was sick or I ate before, or I had homework to do, so I would take it up to my room and eat it, but I would actually flush it down the toilet. I would throw up a lot, and then when I started to throw up blood I knew something wasn’t right, but I couldn’t stop. I liked what I was doing, it gave me a sense of control, I felt like I was finally controlling something in my life, and I liked it. But I couldn’t stop, it was like an addiction, and sometimes as hard as I tried I just couldn’t stop throwing up. I know this might be hard to hear, but I really want you to know all of this. Even though I was lying to everyone’s faces, I really didn’t mean to hurt anyone. I am sorry if hiding it from you if it hurt you, but I knew that you wouldn’t understand.

Once you guys found out about me not eating much, mum sat me down and told me to start eating again, so I told her I would, but I didn’t, I couldn’t. I couldn’t lose control! I need that power. And then that day when I passed out and everyone worried so much, and I told you guys not to, I was just really tired, but you guys wouldn’t drop it, you got me so mad! I just wanted to hit you all! I wanted to run away. And this kept going on, everyone started to watch over my shoulder. Blair did you eat?, you better eat some more Blair. Blair EAT EAT EAT!!!. I couldn’t take it any more. And that day when you took me to the hospital and made me get that feeding tube in. OMG! I wanted to kill myself, to be honest I even thought about it. I wasn’t going to live with a fat tube in my stomach! And I even had to eat normally as well, I could live like that. So I hid my food, even if you didn’t think I was. Behind my clothes in my cupboard I made a whole in the wall, and I hid my food in there. No one knew. And I still made myself throw up, I had my ways. And I know that breaking the feeding tube and pulling it out got you guys mad, but you honestly didn’t think I was going to be okay with it, did you? And when I had my weigh ins I would put weights in my socks to make you guys think I put on weight, when I didn’t! but that day when I didn’t put my weights in because I wasn’t even allowed to wear sock, and I found out I had put on weight, I was absolutely mortified. Words can’t even explain how much pain I was in! and when I made myself throw up all that blood and vial, I felt so much better. I know it was wrong but I couldn’t help it. And then once I woke up in my hospital bed with that lady from the inpatient treatment centre! OHHHH! I could have killed you guys! And when I found out that I had to keep the feeding tube in, I could have lost it. Once I got there I couldn’t handle it, I just couldn’t. Once they checked my bags and my room, they left me in my room to get settled in. i made myself throw up. Like I wouldn’t even be able to count how many times I did. I am really sorry I did, but I needed to. And that was the last thing I can remember being there. When I woke up I was back in the hospital. And after that I felt like I had let you guys down, I felt like you all hated me, and I couldn’t deal with that, so I just stopped talking to yous.

Nate you are my best friend. It hurts me the most thinking about how I am treating you. I miss your hugs, but I just can’t let you touch me, I hate you even looking at me, because I am disgusting, and I can’t stand you looking at my disgustingness. I miss talking to you. You are my best friend and you always understood what I go through, but I knew you wouldn’t be able to understand this. I just knew you wouldn’t. I hope that you don’t hate me, because one day I am going to be myself again, and we will go back to normal, and thinking of those days make me want to keep on living. I would rather die then be fat! I really would and I honestly mean that!! I am sorry if this letter hurts you or upsets you, but I want you to understand. Even though I don’t think you can.

If you are reading this letter, I am probably dead, because I don’t plan on giving you this letter, and if I died I am guessing you will find it. I am sorry about what I have put you and mum and dad through I really am, I honestly didn’t mean to! I love you guys sooooo sooooooo much words can’t even describe it! But I am tired of living this life, I just don’t think I can do it for much longer, be fat, it’s disgusting, I am just crawling out of my skin.

I love you Nate! And I want you to look after mum and dad, I want them to know that I love them with all my heart, and I never meant for this to happen. I love you Nate. You are the best brother anyone could ask for! And I cherish the last hug we had!

Love Blair.

Edit 8/8/09

i've edited the foregoing post because it was just brought to my attention that the 'bass' account may have been a fake account and that she may not have really died. That being said, i've chosen to leave the post up because it does accurately describe what a person with anorexia goes through.

Edit: Links don't completely post in most Fun Advice features BUT they do in Fun Mails. So, if you want a copy with all the links completely visible, Fun Mail me and i'll Fun Mail you a copy.

 
Welcome to our group!

Two helpful tips:

First, to have easy use of posts for Reference purposes, when you see a post that interests you and you want to keep it for Reference, simply 'Copy' the Permalink at the bottom of the post into your clipboard and then Fun Mail it to YOURSELF! (Yes, you can Fun Mail yourself!) Make sure, in the 'Subject', that you list what it's about so you will be able to find it with ease. Then, whenever you need to go back to it you simply open that Fun Mail to yourself and click on the Permalink and you are taken right to that post.

Second, When you see a post that you want to add to, instead of creating a new post, click on that post's Comment link at the bottom of the post and add your comment or information.

Byte by byte, enjoy and learn!
