Today this lady gave me a sample of the sugar free homemade yogurt her company sells.

I thought it was good, but a tad too sweet. My husband said it was very tart.

The woman said to me in private that I should have my husband tested for Diabetes because Diabetics often find sweet things taste tart to them.

If you are a Diabetic my question is, do sweet things taste tart to you? Is what she said true?

What was the procedure like? Did it get rid of your kidney stones? What were the side effects? Would you recommend it to others? I need to have another litho or a uteroscopy done soon and need some advice to decide which one to have. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Im very scared: About tw months ago, I performed unprotected cunnilingus (male to female oral sex.) on a female. approximately 8-10 days later a rash started to form around both of my nostrils, and they look like fine little bumps very unnoticeable.
They do not itch and they are still on my nostrils 2 months later!!!!!! so 3 weeks later I went to take an STD test, and the results came back in 2 weeks negative for H.I.V, syphilis, etc......so that was good but now my hair is breaking off very easily in the shower, and when I wake up in the morning I SEE ABOUT 6-8 STRANDS OF HAIR ON MY PILLOW!!!! I thought it was stress from waiting on the test results, but my hair is still falling out almost 3 months later! Get this she told me after we had sex that she was 2 months pregnant(not mine) and 1year ago she had a yeast infection that she got rid of. Can I catch something from her being pregnant? or the yeast infection she supposively got rid of? Thanks

I have recently been diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia.
My doctor put me on 1 Carbamazepine Chew 100mg 2x daily. This makes me loopy all day long. And when I go to sleep I sleep for 12 hours ! Is this normal?
I've been on it for 3 1/2 days. Is this something I will adapt to? Or is this something I need to be concerned about?
Thanks.
Nurses and Doctors responses only please.

I twisted my knee almost 3 years ago. I knew i tore a ligament, my leg swelled badly minutes after the incident. I could not bend my legs properly for the next 2 months.

For 1 whole year i could not kick a ball, At the end of the first year i started to play soccer again, but my knee felt weak, and i re-injured or re-twisted my knee for over 20 times for the next year.

After 3 years, i found that my knee became stronger, and i have not been getting any knee injuries for the past 7 months. I play soccer almost one, twice a week.

Can you tell me what is happening?

So, I took the birth control pill before, to regulate my periods, not for contraception. I'm not sexually active.I only took them for 2 monthes though, because they made my long-gone migraine headaches re-surface and made me pretty moody. But I later got a lower dosage pill which I've been taking but they seem to have made me hostile. REALLY hostile. I mean, I was angry and irritable beforehand, but now I'm REALLY violent. And there's no way i'm putting my mom through that, so she said to just stop them. Now I've only taken about 10 or 11 pills sofar, not even done a pack. Beforehand when I just stopped the pills it seemed like I had a pretty serious side effect (just manicly depressed for a few days) and I'm wondering, do I just altogether stop, or is there a different way?
