Would you rather be poor and healthy or rich and sick? Honey, go to the doctor. Your nose is running which is a sign of a viral infection that they can do nothing about--however, how this infection has spread to your ear and eyes is scary. Ears, eyes, throat, and nose are all connected. Something serious could be wrong, get into a doctor and get this problem checked out.

You can call the disability office and ask them. If it is mere motion sickness my guess would be it is not covered. They like to save disability insurance for more severe illnesses.

Oh beach so sorry. I just was out of work for over a week for just that! It then turned into pneumonia so be careful! Stay hydrated....my doc said to drink tons of blue gatorade. It puts electrolytes back into your system that water can't. Did they give you the flu pills? or did you get the shot instead? I swear the aches and pains went away within about 12 hours of getting the shot. So if you haven't seen a doctor yet......I would!! Antibiotics won't do a thing.....but this shot just absolutely did wonders. (I always opt for the shot vs. the pills cause I want fast relief!) Just keep alternating tylenol with advil for your fever so that you don't get the upset stomach on top of everything else you have. Also.....for the cough, try Mucinex,DM. (amazing stuff...it's a time release pill). I so hope you feel better soon.......in the meantime....let me send you the link to my blog about flu.....at the very least it will give you something to laugh about! lol\n\nSee ya!

I definately agree with you, they should see their physician. But HOLD ON! before you start going against them, you also have to see the medical insurance is very high, and it is NOT going to STOP! it will geek on going higher. The reason I said this is almost HALF of all the people in America does NOT have Health Insurance. Right there, thats serious. Plus they have to pay certain amount just to get a visit to their clinic(If the have insurance) if they DON'T have insurance, they should go to webmd.com. That site is very good. But yes, i do agree with you on shortnessof breath. that is an exception as well as heart related symptoms. Getting some answers here helps them get some feed back on what are some possible causeof their pain. if it was VERY serious (physiologically) then they wouldn't be able to type their question in the first place, instead they would dial 911. But I applaud you for bringing this question(Yes, it is a serious question).

Call a workers comp attorney. Most of them will give you the info you need, such as if you should hire counsel, who should pay for the meds etc.\n\nGood Luck. I hope your mom feels better.

If it is happening right now, go to the emergency room, or to the nearest emergency clinic. If it isn't happening right now, go to your doctor tomorrow. Call in sick to work if you have to. That sounds like something serious.

All anyone can do for you my friend is encourage you to see a doctor and pray for you - which I shall do.  If you don't have the money for medical care please visit social services as they may be able to help you financially.

I would check with the state you live in. For example my state (NY) has a plan called healthy NY for working people that have no insurance at reasonable rates. Go to your state's website to check.

I understand your problem. My husband was put in the hospital last year and had emergency surgery and I had past hips surgeys and they won't even give us insurance. I started researching some stuff and found a great site that offers health benefits. It's not insurance but you can save up to 80% on dental and medical benefits and you get free prescription, Free chiropractic and free vision. Best of all it's no more than $60.00 dollars a month for the entire household. That site below will offer and show you have to obtain benefits. \n\nGood luck and I am sorry we all have to deal with the goverment doing this to our families.

I agree with ringshank.  There is NO REASON you should have to be living in that condition.  I would call the Health Department or find out who you can call to report the conditions.  Chances are you're not the only one sick.

wow!!  you have a great question, the reason why is because you want to talk about lower back pain.  There is no pill, trust me I know, I've behind on everything Oxy's and everything.  The best thing and is I know this might sound silly, or crazy cause that's what I thought at first.  GO  SWIMMING!!!!  I swim a half mile 5 days week, nothing fancy, I swim across, on my belly, nice and slow and easy, then on my way back I swim on back, nice and easy.  I'm not saying I don't get back pain any more, yes I do, but instead of it being a strong 10 now it's sometimes a 3 or 4 depends on the BAROMETER, if the barometer (air pressure) is Falling then Pain is Raising.  Go to www.wheatherchannel.com then go to the pain index, and it will help you more.  Please don't think a pill is going to fix the pain.  For the past four years the doctors have had me so messed up on drugs I didn't know if I was coming or going.  I do have a medical condition with my back, I do see a doctor.  I have degenerative back dease, plus arthritis, plus Fibri** how ever you spell it.  I hope this help, cause I believe after being all messed up on pain pills that's not the way to go, really try swimming, you need to go at least 5 times a week to make it work.  I did the shots too, I travel from Maine were I live to VA. where my sister lives hoping to find better help.  I'm really sold on the swimming thing, I thought it was crazy at frist too, but let me tell you those drugs those doctors will put you on will wipe your right out.  I would like to e-mail some ifo. on the kind of doctor I'm seeing for my back.  She is the best think ever.  She has helped me so much.  My back use to be so bad that I could be standing washing dishes and with no warning be right on the floor.  Trust me pills don't take that feeling away, when you are laying down, or sitting to long and you go to get up, and your all stiff and such, no pain pill takes that feeling away.  I know I have been dealing with this for a long time.  Like I said it not perfect, by swimming, but I know it helps better than some pain pill.  Really pain pills are not the way to go.

Contact Social Services asap, they WILL be able to help you, even the very same day in most cases, especially as you are also becoming ill and stressed with all the pressure being put on you. CPN's are not very good in my experience (I have had a lot of experience)

Too expensive. What if you had surgery, then you got an infection, a serious one? The health unsurance plans in America stink royally. We the payers are getting the short end of the stick for the large Insurance bill. Really good insurance comes from your local farm bureau. Check them out!

If you are already ill, health insurance will be more expensive. Although that might not be true if you have not yet been treated for your medical condition. If you’re interested in health insurance, you should probably talk with local health insurance agents (link below). Here are a few quick thoughts. I’ve included links in the “Sources” section for each number.\n\n1.Free clinics or county health departments. You might have to pay, but it will be much less than if you go to the emergency room.\n2.Medicaid\n3.Organizations that sponsor people with your condition. I’ve linked below to Needy Meds. Just look up your condition and see if they have links to support groups.\n4.Health insurance through work: if you have been insured within the last two months on a group health plan, such as one through work, then a new group health plan would have to accept you even with your medical condition. Also, group health insurance is cheaper.\n5.State-licensed agents: they can probably let you know about your possibilities of getting and affording private health insurance in about five minutes.\n\nGood luck, and don’t delay in getting help.\nBarnes@MostChoice

Sounds like just a cold.  If it doesn't go away in a reasonable amount of time then go to the ER, they cannot refuse you treatment if you have no insurance and cannot pay.
