I started on Metformin & Avandia, had to discontinue Avandia because of water retention. Now I have no energy & muscle weakness, & get short of breath, with the least exercise.
Could these be side effects of the Metformin?
I've read that they are;-{ what's next?

I was doing laundry the other night. My washer is very sturdy. It takes some muscle to open and shut the lid. I bent down to get some clothes out of the basket on the floor and the lid slammed shut. Before I put my clothes in I checked the washer to make sure it had nothing in it. When I opened the lid back up, a mouse ran out. I was very scared so i threw the clothes in quick, pushed the button and got out of there.

When I went to use the dryer, the door wouldnt open. I was pulling and pulling, wouldn't budge. I put my feet against the dryer and pulled. Still wouldn't move. I kept pulling. My mom came down into the basement and the door popped open very easily and I fell.

Is it possible that there is any exitotoxity (hyper-exitability) after cardiac arrest when there is a flat EEG?

When cardiac arrest occurs, there is an increase in EEG amplitude in the theta range, then there is an increase against as the EEG becomes delta waves. This is followed by no EEG (20 seconds after cardiac arrest).

But because exitotoxicity occurs, I sumised that anoxic respiration would then begin and this would mean that the EEG would increase and neurones would die by over-exiting them-selves.
The only reason that you would not observe the convulsions, is because it is an atonic convulsion.

Is this true?

Hi all. I just recently purchased my first home and have noticed that the lawn has low spots in both the front and back yards. I would like to add a layer of top soil to sort of smooth things out a bit. However, with it being September already, am I too late? What is the best time to add a layer of good topsoil? I know the previous owners of this house did not take care of the lawn so I am prepared (mentally) to rehabillitate this lawn.

i think this is my period, but my back has been hurting for some time-a few days and my i've felt a little bloated. i just got to college the 16th of last month and my period only stayed for like 4 or so days. one of my roomates had her period last week, and i'm thinking mine was trying to sync with hers or something. today, i went to the bathroom and wiped and there was a little blood, not much and my back continutes to hurt. a few weeks ago, my boyfriend and i were messing around and the condom broke but he hadn't come, and i'm thinking the only thing that could have happened was he pre came. my period can be really irregular sometimes and i've had it since i was 10,.
thanks.

How do I break up with him.Should I be afraid?What should I do about this?I tried to break up again just now!?
I met a man online in June of this year.We started out fine...but slowly..things have changed.Alot of it is my fault.I have told him four times since June that we are not good for one another.Then he starts saying things like " But we love each other!" "I love you!" "You love me, lets work this out!" Then I start to feel bad and sad...and so..I stay.I noticed that he has a BAAAD temper.He got angry a few weeks ago and punched the wall.
We got into an argument at a resturaunt and he said to me " You are acting like such a ****!" ) :
Last week I decided to just ignore his calls.I thought that he would just give up and leave me alone.I was hoping that maybe he would just meet a really BEAUTIFUL woman and forget about me. I did not answer his calls for three days.He ended up Googleing my street address and got directions.He was at my door ringing the doorbell. He was saying " Sweetie where have you been I have been so worried. I thoughtr something happened to you!" I feel sooo bad.

one night in early august, i took my friends out on my boat. as fate would have it, my camera got very wet and shorted out. one girl said "oooh damn! i want all those pictures from tonight!" and took my memory card, which still worked. weeks went by and i didn't see her much, but assumed she was keeping track of my $60 memory card. the other night i was like "oooh can i have my memory card back?" and she said "wow, i have no idea where that is". then i saw her later on again and she was like "i'm so sorrrryyy, it's around my house somewhere. it's not exactly easy to find". now what? i sorta need it back!

As an Asian, I have to say I feel pretty bad for the caucasians. They're more pressured to be politically correct. And no one really thinks positive images when someone says "White power" instead of "Black Power" or anything like that.

My husband and I are having to relocate due to his job moving . We have a house that we owe 115,000.00 on and a 25,000.00 second morgage. It has the VA Loan guarentee on it as well. We have a 2.5 yr old bankruptcy it was done before the law was changed so we kept our home. We have owned this place for 7 years. We would not be able to keep the house if he was to take the severance package as the town we live in is limited in the jobs that he could take. Our payments are currnently 970.00 for the first and 300.00 for the second.

Is there a way to get rid of this house somehow and be able to qualify for another fixed rate loan with the VA guarentee? We have 2 kids and one on the way. We also have three dogs and 4 cats that we would like to keep as they are all very old.

Please help!

A Review of Recent Scientific Papers Related to Vegetarianism

By Reed Mangels, PhD, RD, FADA
On the other hand, 58 percent of strict vegans and 34 percent of moderate vegans had a vitamin B12 deficiency, based on the concentration of vitamin B12 in their blood. They also had high concentrations of homocysteine, a substance that has been associated with an increased risk of heart disease. Elevated homocysteine can be caused by a vitamin B12 deficiency. The elevated homocysteine concentrations seen in these vegans may explain why death rates from heart disease tend to be higher in vegans than in lacto-ovo vegetarians. Vegans should strive for an adequate vitamin B12 intake, both to prevent vitamin B12 deficiency and to reduce risk of heart disease.
