Health - 25 October 2006

Until I was of the age 19, I was great w/having blood taken and getting shots. I donated plasma a few times bc I needed $.. and the last time ruined me for life.

The woman didn't put it in my vein completely, the needle came out and blood spilled out underneath my skin. This left my entire upper arm black/blue and sore for 2 wks.

Tomorrow I have a Glucose Tolerance Test where they take blood for 3 hours. I know they can't sedate me and I'm not sure I can do it. Any way at all I can make it easier?

Its doutful that it happens frequently but there is a surprisng amount of chatter about some women taking perverse pleasure kicking guys in the nuts for no legitamate reason .


How hard would it be to engineer a soft protective cup that goes on like underware .Something where he can pull out his penis like underwear if he is urinating in a bathroom stall.

The goal of such a device would be to make you kick resitant down there but not kick proof.

You would have the opportunity to flee or face your attacker if she pressed the attack and you had no avenue of escape..

I didn't receive honest and fair treatment for replacing veneers.
I'm not smart that's why people take advantage of me but I hope someone can really stand on the patient side and help me.

The temporary angle was not the one I asked and they tried to force me to take it. Then they remake until I said I will complaint to association. But then they numb me for the try in. I can't judge if the angle is the same with my mouth wide open. At the end, it's the same angle as before. I found out they removed alot of teeth structure too. I ask at the beginning earlier but they just said trust them.

Tonite, they said they will remove extra cement and try to see what to do even free of charge but then I just found out they remove even more teeth at the back to make that area flatter but I looked at it everynite so I know they removed more. Is there a way to tell what is teeth and veneers. Will xray tell? I really want to cry because they don't care about me whatsoever. Wish someone help me.

1.These bumps are permanently present.
2.They only flare up somtimes.
3. When they are inflamed, they look like puffed rice imbeded into my skin (I have a photo from the last time I visited my parents).
4.It is painful but nothing that stops me from leading my life.
5.The first time I got these bumps they burst open and were extremely painful.

I'm just looking for possibilities for my doctor to investigate. My allergist and GP thought the bumps were really weird but didn't have any idea what they were.

I have been diagnost with chronic Kidney stones. I develop them every three to six months and they get to a rather large size, sometimes blocking off function. My doctor has me on urokrit, but it doesn't seem to work and I hate taking pills. I also get frequent Kidney infections. Is there anything else I should be doing? Is there any new procedures that stop me from having to go through uroscopy or lithrotripsy every six months? Please help

Like I remember learning about this, I person goes into stages before they actually commit suicide. They first ponder the idea, you know, explore it objectively. Ect ect. What are they? I cant seem to remember.

This lady at work told us she was cutting a guy's hair,(hairdresser) and afterwards he clasped her hand and she thought he was thanking her in another language. Later some other people there said, he was "high" and a meth user. As she drove home she claims she started hallusinating and feeling all wierd. She thinks the meth was transmitted via the hand shake. I know nothing about meth, but now the whole office believes it is true; set me straight please!!?

I need to lose weight- for my health, if nothing else. I know I do, and I always make plans to start a work-out routine and start eating healthy. Problem is, I either only stick to the plan for a week or never start at all. When I think about weight loss I just get depressed instead of motivated- I guess I might get into the mind-set that nothing is going to work. How can I find some motivation instead of depression? What are some tips for getting started on a weight-loss program when you can't afford to go to the gym or buy excercise equipment? Good advice would really be appreciated!
