I am in love with a wonderful man, but he has a lab that I am very allergic to. He carries the dog in his car, then when I ride in it I get sick from my allergies. He thinks I just hate his dog, and I love all animals.

I am a Critical Care RN and at work had an episode of sudden onset tachycardia, facial flushing (I felt like I was having a hot flash), and tachypnea (rr was 30-40's) this lasted for several hours and I was seen in the ER where I work. My CT was negative for any overt PE but my D-dimer was 5.0 (5000) I have Leventhal-Stein (also known as PCOS). I was treated within the last two weeks for an apparent URI (cough, wheeze, sob, fever, clogged sinuses) I had gall bladder surgery 4 months ago (laparascopic removal but d-dimer usually returns to normal within 3 months even for CABG). They ran a thyroid panel to see if I was having issues there (no results yet), but will thyroid or hormonal issues elevate a d-dimer to that extent? I take glucophage every day (1000 mg)(but its not a medication known to artificially elevate the d-dimer). I see pts every day with many other issues with only slightly elivated d-dimers. I am personally at a loss and are concerned that much of the respiratory symptoms that I had may have been PE rather than URI. Any thoughts? Also How long will PE's show up for on CT?

The brush was for cleaning the BBQ grill, i picked it up and it jabbed me in the thumb causing immediate bruising and just a pinch of blood. I scrubbed it with soap and water and soaked it in peroxide. I have had a tetanus shot with in the last 10 years, should I still seek medical attention?

I have had gum disease problems since i was a kid. Now that I'm older my dentist says my teeth are getting lose and I should consider getting them pulled and getting false teeth. She says I'm having bone loss. I was thinking about checking into permanent teeth but unsure if i would even be a right candidate for this plus the price seems to be out of reach. I regret that in my younger days I didn't do more to control this problem but it seems to late now. Any suggestions. I just don't want to have problems eating with false teeth as some friends I know have. Is there any other procedures that can be done that makes artificial teeth stay in place better? Any advice would be appreciated.

My condition can only be cured by surgery, which I cannot afford. After standing for a short time my right leg goes numb and I have to sit a while. Have other like -sufferrers advice on exercises or posture to help?
