My sister is allegic to Dust Mites and she gets red bumps (similar to Mosquito bits but they aren't) when she sleeps at night. Her doctor prescribed her ointment but even when she sleeps on that bed, she always gets bitten. We switched beds for one night and on my bed, she didn't get bits.

What does that mean? What can I do to prevent red bumps/dust mite bites from getting to her? Or does it mean something else?

Thanks!

My aging mother suffers from several "diagnosed" problems including arthritis, spondolosis, and 2 (repaired) compression fractures in her lower back in the last 6 years. Having exhausted all conventional treatment, we have seen a Pain Management specialist who recommends "Prolotherapy". I understand the concept behind it. I'm just not sure it's worth the pain and price she will have to endure since it isn't covered by insurance. If you have had this treatment, I'd love to hear whether it helped or not.

My fiance is driving me nuts. We have a wedding planned in 2 weeks, her sister was getting married with us as well, but she has backed out at the last minute to take more time to think. My fiance wants to get married. Her dad is upset because he is losing a worker to do his work around the house. He made it clear to me that he would be fine with it if his two daughters would spend the rest of their lives helping him and never get married. My fiance hates to upset her family, loves me, but can not seem to want to make waves. We are doing fine, her family is making huge problems. They are pushing her to take more time to think. When we are together she wants to get married. We love each other, I love my bride to be, My kids love my fiance, they do not deserve to ride along on this emotional roller coaster with this disfunctional family. Am I wrong to simply state, choose who you want to spend the rest of your life with or let me move on with my life?

Regarding MS.Clintons post. Untill a few days ago one could give a Poster a thumbs up are a thumbs down. My question is do you believe that it is possible that the staff knew this post was comming up and wanted to remove any possible embarrassment for this post.

I'm in a relationship that sometimes make me happy but more times I'm sad.My b/f doesn't physically abuse me,although in the past he has hit me and said horrible things when things were going wrong in his life.He blames me for everything that happens to him.Lately he has been having financial problems and I'm getting all the backlash even though I have myself gone broke to satisfy his wants and needs.I haven't really ben able to keep a job because since I've been involved with him,I've lost all my drive and motivation.It's easier said than done to just say get out of the relationship.It feels like I'm just stuck and drawn to him.He's a hard-worker and he "keeps me content"with trips to the hair salon and few material things but I know I'm worth better than that.He is also a known liar by everyone,even his family.Why can't I get away?Why do I feel guilty about HIS problems?Ifeel like I can't leave without fixing him first.I'm neglecting my own feelings.Help please!!!

Im not overweight or anything, but I want to shape up a little bit. Im in the process of working out, but I havnt yet figured out what exactly I should cut back on eating. I stopped fast food. But what about ice cream? Only in moderation? No chocolate? No candy? No soda? Or could I have it all but only in moderation?

As I understand it, and I am no EXpert on the Canadian system:
1- All who work pay into the system. 2- All who need reasonable health care of all kinds get it free. 3- The government owns all facilities and buildings that are nice. 4- All Dr's, Nurses, Dentists, techs, (all personell) are govt employees. All are reasonably paid but no millionaires. They are compitent and good at what they do. People with bad performance records are fired. They all work reasonable hours for good benefits and there are enough of them to go around. In a new town, no worries! 6- Supplies are purchased with bids. Drugs are cheap by the truckload. Along with everything else! 7- If you want a heart transplant at 80 yrs old you can go to the states to get it yourself. They won't waste government money on it for you! 8- LET'S GET REAL AMERICA, we pay more for less health care than any developed country in the world. 9- It's a crime.

If protein are amino acids and instead of eating protein bars and protein shakes to cut down on calories, is it possible to take an amino acid pill to limit calories? Do they have the same affect as taking protein supplements?

What are some things I can do to relieve anxiety? I just feel sort of nervous when I do things like going out somewhere. What are some things I can do (not taking pills) that can relieve this, like certain tea or yoga exercises?
