Health - 12 June 2006

Hello

I recently went to a medical leb where I had my blood drawn for a blood test. The problem is that I want paying attention and I didnt see the nurse if she opened a new syringe or she used an old one. I am really scared that I might have been infected with some disease if the syringe was old and used on somebody else.

I am sure that the syringe used was disposable so my question is that is it possible for the syringe to be used by mistake? Can the nurse not notice that the syringe was used before and thur reuse it? Or even, can they reuse it on purpose?

Thanks for your help

Hey please suggest some alternate way of doing a stomach crunch apart from the one with hands behind head or crossed across the chest... i find it difficult to lift the upper torso. If i take support with my elbows to lift the upper part would it qualify as a crunch????...

I have no clue what is wrong with me.....about a week ago swallowing started to hurt very badly. No matter what I eat or drink it hurts and it almost feels like a lump is stuck inside of my throat and chest and the pain has gotten worse and swallowing feels worse and the pain has been on my right but as of today it's spreading to the left and I'm scared. I get this weird sensation of something is stuck in my throat and sometimes my neck and my throat.

Over the last week or so I have been having alot of pain in my lower back and my thighs, then a few days ago I started getting nauseous everytime I ate. My period is due within the week, but I've never had back pain or nausea as symptoms it was getting ready to start. I've considered pregnancy, which is possible considering my husband and I do not use protection, but is there any thing else that can cause these things? I mean, I haven't done anything out of the ordinary to cause this, I do the same job everynight, actually I've been doing lighter work the past couple weeks, so I really don't understand. Any help is appreciated, and please don't say it's pregnancy, I'm already considering that possiblity and I'd like to consider all other possibilities first.

I ingested monosodium glutamate and feel sick. It's been one day and I still feel the effects. When will it get out of my system? Is there anything I can do to get it out faster?
Thanks so much.

I am just starting the pill and i have herd that you have to take it at the same time everyday. I was wondering if that was true, or if you could take it as long as its close to the same time, like within a few hours... thanks for the help!
