Health - 23 September 2006

my Father was diagnosed with MM 4 months ago, he is only 43 and thats very young for this type of cancer. The doctors caught it in the final stage (stage 3 for this type) and they only think that he had the cancer for a very short time, approx. 6 months. He is missing parts of his ribs, coller bone, and spine. The doctor says it looks as though his bones are swiss cheese. He has a 5 pound lifting weight limit. I want to know how long my children have with there grandpa, and the doctors are avoiding the question. Can anyone give me a clue as to how long?

I am writing a thesis on the availability of said drug and having never been to Mexico, you'll understand the question. In no way am i cunducting illegal smuggling of contraband across international borders or attempting to do so in the future.

Not me, I love it. I hate those who irrationally criticise Mixed Martial Arts. Why to critics dub it "human c#&k fighting" when there has never been a death in a sanctioned event.

We "ALL" use dental floss, except those that have NO natural teeth, but who reuses their OWN used floss, after washing it out two or more times, or better still, reuses it several times WITHOUT washing it out?

I have really bad myopia (nearsightedness) and I'm starting college in 2 days. My sight fluctuates a lot, depending on time of day and level of relaxation, but at its worst, it's around 20/400! I have spent the whole summer trying natural methods to try to improve my eyesight and have only experienced flashes of both improved vision and perfect vision, none of which were permanent. You're probably gonna tell me to wear glasses like everyone else but I'm not going with that, considering all the proof there is that distance glasses can encourage myopia to progress, and that I have, long ago, decided to give up wearing them because they're nothing but an unnatural crutch.

I DON'T want anyone here trying to convince me that vision training doesn't work. I want to hear from people who are familiar with the Bates method and/or eye exercises and are willing to help me...because so far I've been trying to improve my vision BY MYSELF...but it's a lot harder than I thought!

Do you have advice?

I keep hearing eat less and exercise more. That worked for me only when i became both anorexic and bulimic. How does it work doing it a healthy way and drug, or should i say pill free. I have tried every pill except a doctor prescribed pill. I wanted to try xenical, but i know i am not obese or not enough. I weigh 173 and I am 5' 4''. I don't look it though, even naked. The smallest I ever was was 140 some pounds, when i was only eating lettuce and a big dinner which i would throw up. my job has helped me lose 15 pound throwing boxes off of trucks. I am not dieting but i work 60 to 70 hour weeks and mostly get fast food from the mcdonalds in my wal-mart. I am only big in my tummy now and for some reason i find it hard to bend over or i am out of breath. I smoke but i feel i am too young to be reacting like that just from bending and swatting. Does anyone know what i could do?

What acne medicine did you use? What did you feel when you were on that phase, did you ever think giving up coz it wont work on you? What caused you keep using it and trust the product is gonna work?

My husband has been diagnosed with psoriactic arthritis, which means he has psoriasis in his joints and the pain is unbelievable in his feet, ankles and wrists and hands. We have been to rheumatologists and have had several kinds of prescription but nothing has helped. Now they want to try some injections which will cost 1000 dollars a month and is not covered by our insurance. Anyone who has had similiar experience and found some relief please tell me....Serious answers only please..I am desperate to find him some relief. Thank you.

do or say things without thinking of the consequences of your actions first? Do you ever do or say things and after the fact realize that you shouldn't have done or said it?

I change the bandage every few hours and it is always covered in blood. The wound is not very big and I dont think it is very deep. It doesnt really bleed that much just a little bit but it still hasnt stopped. I cleaned it with peroxide and cold water.
