I got a brain scan done 2 and a half years ago because i was getting dizzy and it was clear. Could a brain tumor have developed between then and now?

Did you like it. Did you have a lot of side effects. I can't use depoprevara, it makes me insane, and I always forget to take pills. This is supposed to stay put for three years.

I had my wisdom teeth out a few months ago, and I ended up vomiting immediately after walking out of the oral surgeons office. Now I wonder if this means I am allergic to the anesthesic medicine, and if I am will this happen any time I have surgery. Or was that reaction based on the type of surgery I had.

I gained twenty pounds when I moved to a new place. I've managed to lose ten pounds by changing my eating habits to salad, water, and portion sizes. To lose the other ten pounds, I am exercising at the gym. My question is, should I focus more on cardio or weight training? I try to do both as much as possible but I want to know which is the best way to lose weight.

I've been battling a persistent yeast AND bacterial infection for 6 months now. Started with bactieral infection...been treating that, and about 2 months ago got a yeast infection on top of it! So, now i've had both for about 2 months. My doc and I have tried EVERYTHING!! Oral meds, antifungal creams, metrogel, relaguard, etc. I've been takign acidopholus (sp?) for about 5 weeks now. Just went back to the doc today, and still have BOTH infections. She has decided the next step to try metrogel twice a day for 2 weeks (previously, it had been once/day for 2 weeks, and then twice a day for 1 week), and diflucan twice a day for 2 weeks (i have not tried diflucan yet). continue acidopholus.

She also wants me to pretty much eliminate sugar and white starches from my diet. This is my main question. What does this include? Obviously no white bread, whtie rice or potatos. No "real" sugar (i.e. in dessert). What aobut artificial sweeteners ? What about fruit? Oatmeal? HELP! other advice??

I've been wearing contacts for over 10 years with no problems. For the past 2 months I've been having dizzy spells. During the episodes, reading or watching a screen is extremely uncomfortable. What could be going on? My lens and glasses prescriptions are current and the glasses I wear at night give me no problems. Is it possible that since I got the prescription when I was pregnant and now I've had my baby that something has changed dramatically with my eyes? I'm out of answers!

She is starting childcare on Monday, and I know how easy it is going to be for colds to be spread from child to child. I see commercials for products such as airborn, and emergen C, but I don't know if there is anything geared towards children.

Did this help or make things worse?
I've heard that it makes things worse and it's dangerous, because the implants can burst.
Also I've heard that you have more pain with this than you do just living with the TMJ pain.

Centers that do hiv anyonomous hiv testing say that no insurance company or doctor can find out if an individual has had a hiv test done if the results are negative. But since a blood sample is taken can't they actually find out your name even though you never gave it to them? Also when emails are sent to centers that do the testing do you think that your info is given to insurance companies?

Thanks!

Since I have had my son in 05 I have had severe pain in my lower back and hip. Without ins I cant have an MRI done so I have opted to go to a chiropracter. He said that my right hip is rotated and has been trying to get it back correctly. At first, it was helping but there was a hole about the size of a half dollar, yesterday and today it is excruciating pain and that hole is now the size of my palm. Has anyone ever had anything similar or knows what in the worl this might be? I can barely walk and have an apt with the chiro this afternoon but was hoping that someone might be able to relate and have advice to ease the pain in the meantime. I am so tired of hurting and not being able to live my life to the fullest. I am only 30 and otherwise healthy and am not overweight. My whole right hip is now different to the naked eye and my right leg is almost an inch and a half shorter than my right, and is getting worse. Is the chiro making things worse?

3. Sharing needles or syringes with someone who is HIV infected

4. Infection during pregnancy, childbirth, or breast-feeding

(mother-to-infant transmission
