Health - 12 December 2006

Governments make huge profits from the sale of cigarettes which have caused more deaths in this country than any other disease. Even the packets now tell you that smoking is a health hazard and our hospitals are full of people suffering from the effects of smoking, such as heart disease, thrombosis, emphysema etc. I wrote to our PM but no reply. More people should sue the manufacturers and or governments for allowing it to happen. My dad would be alive today if he had never smoked.

Here is what is going on with me.
I have been to numerous dr's and ended up in the ER twice.

I have had 2 EKG's taken.

I'm on Effexor and I take Lorazapam when needed.

Lately I have been experincing slight pain up my left arm sometimes up my right arm too.
I get extremely dizzy, lightheaded, and my legs and arms feel weak at times.
I get a slight pain in my chest.
f I had to rate the pain from 1 to 10, 10 being the worse I would have to give it a 2.

Sometimes my jaw is sore. Dr says that is from clenching teeth but I rarely ever do that.
take my blood pressure twice a day it's usually on on the low side.
I'm concerned that something else is going on and that no one takes me serious enough

I would like to sleep like other people, but for some reason lately, I have been sleeping short periods of time then waking up and then sleeping a little longer. Is this a sign of old age? I am 42.
I used to sleep in in the morning, but now I am bright eyed and bushey tailed at about 4 or 5 am every morning.
What ever happened to the days I could sleep in until 9 or 10 am?

I am overweight. I went to the doc and I weigh more than 350. I'm only 15 years old. Wow. I have this dark ring around my neck, under my arms, a lil on my elbows, and in between my legs and some on my knees. I've noticed for years that I'm goin' to have a weight problem intill I do somethin' about it. Ever since I was a young girl at age 8. I have gotten the ring around my neck. But I was thin. I was not overweight at all, instead I was just underweight. Past the years the ring never went away and I began to gain more weight really fast. Suddenly as I went to age 12 I saw that it was now under my arms and other places. I don't know what this thing is. I just want to get rid of it. I'm afraid that in a few years that when I do loose the weight I need to loose that the dark spots will not go away. What should I do?! Is there anythin' or anyone out there to help me with this skin problem?

Suppose a urine sample revealed abnormal results, such as protein in the urine. If there is a result differing from the norm (color, pH, subtances present), should the physician always make an immediate diagnosis of a disorder? Why or why not?

I'm considering Pharm as my major very seriously. While understanding that pharm is a great job to have both financially and emotionally, but the problem is I DO NOT like chemistry. I'm pretty good at math, maybe biology, but things like hexadiotride nitrocarbondioxide make me wanna puke (maybe misspelled). Did you guys/girls really had a inclination towards chemistry? or did you just have to get it over with so that you could become pharmacists? Would I be able to be one, although I'm not that interested in Chemistry?

My understanding is that HIV virus is too big to penetrate the skin in many parts of human body except mucus and some other membranes get into blood. I also read that HIV can penetrate easily through tears or lacerations in the skin or covering of an organ.

If so, can one prepare the following beverage and administer it to a human being as an act of revenge or other evil intent? If the answer is yes, how can the forensics prove that evil act t o enforce the law?

The beverage consists of an ingradient that will cause ulcers in the stomach, such as strong coffee mixed with alcohol. It may also contain something that tears up the walls of the intestines such as a fine ground silica or glass. Both of the above will create an opening for the HIV virus to penetrate. Then of course it will contain HIV virus or infected blood or serum. It may also contain HSV-2 virus to facilitate HIV virus damage the immune system more readily.
