Health - 1 August 2006

I have a sore throat from having relux so bad in my sleep last nite I woke up at 5 am dreaming I was suffocating and when I finally got my senses about me, it was my stomach acid boiling up into my throat. I almost threw up in my bed.
I am thinking I should probably see about getting this fixed. Has anyone done this procedure or had it themselves? What can you tell me about the post operative result?

My friend wants to go on one of those 'lose 10 pounds in 3 days' diets, this one is from something called the British Heart Institute. I have never heard of the BHI, nor can I find any reference to them apart from the diet itself. It is one where one eats toast and tuna fish and the like for a chemical breakdown to burn off unwanted fat.

I am worried that at best this will dissapoint her if it doesn't work, or at worst be dangerous to her health as it doesn't offer a balaned diets.

If anyone knows anything I'd be grateful of an honest response. Thanks

History: New co-worker shows up in the fall exuding this awful odor. We have 11 people in the entire building; he and I share an office. I have a sensitive nose so only I am affected. I speak to him a few months after his arrival. I professionally explain to him that his Met-Rx drinks make him smell. He stops drinking them and the smell goes away. I am happy.
Problem: Summer hits and he's started up again. This time I am pregnant and my nose is super-sensitive. He's trying to cover it with wearing a lot of cologne. So now he smells like a Philly cheese steak sandwich left in the car all day with a broken bottle of Reaction. If a professional talk 7 months ago didn't fix it, what will now?

I used to walk about 4 miles every other day. I had a heart cath done last fall and quit walking because the weather got cold and I was having heart problems which are now resolved. I took off to go my usual route this morning and thought I was going to collapse less than 1/2 the way, so I shortened the walk. Should I start walking shorter distances and work up to it or should I get another excersize program going here? My heart is working great. This is the 1st time I have walked in over 5 months.

I'm asking because my boyfriend is recently diagnosed with Diabetes. The past two months, with all the Metformin, Avandia, Lantus, Novalog, needles, gauze, alcohol, meter strips, etc. We are struggling. His health insurance only provides $1200 gross towards prescriptions PER YEAR. We are very quickly coming up on that $1200 and it hasn't even been 6 months. I'm curious to know, are we doing something wrong? Why can't we afford this treatment? It seems like a good many Americans have Diabetes, how does everyone else afford the many prescriptions? We're freaking out, because we don't have the money for rent, gas, food, etc. We feel like the Diabetes treatment has to come first, but all these co-pays for specialists and prescriptions has drained our wallets, we can't buy food, nevermind entertainment. How does everyone else afford this?! What can we do?
