I'm a type 2 diabetic, on metformin & insulin at night my sugars are always running very high & have been advised not to get preganant at this time untill my diabeties is well controlled.
However, i'm 35 & would like to have a baby soon & upon reading the leaflet on metformin tablets it suggest's not to take if preganant or planning to become preganant, dont know if this is the reason why I haven't felt pregnant yet?? does anyone know?

Recently was diagnoised with Osteoartheritis in my left thumb (cannot bend it at all) and the ring finger of my right hand. So much stiffness, swelling and a bit of pain. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I DO NOT take any medications, only herbs & spices. I do practice Ayurvedic..
Thanks so much :)

Why is it after I get a really bad headache I feel lightheaded afterwards? This doesn't happen with every headache just when I have a really bad one. Has anyone ever had this before, does it sound normal. What do you do to get rid of the lightheadedness. I only took two tylenol so it isn't like I took a whole lot of meds.

i ended up in the hospital for a couple of days. first they told me i was bitten by a spider and they wanted to keep me for observation. they cut open my wound in the ER and later admitted me. my husband was by my side and stayed with me both nights. poor hubby got as much sleep as me cus the nurses came in everytime i fell asleep and he had to get up in the mornings and go to work. my poor baby was so tired and he still stayed with me bless his heart. anyways finally they told me i had a staff infection. i had to go in2 surgery on thursday. it was kinda xciting cus i never been put to sleep before. they had to make a bigger hole because the boil like "thing" under my skin wouldn't drain properly. the dr's didn't give me a good xplaination just told me that it's a bacteria. but what causes this can anyone tell me further than what the dr's told me?

I have this weird running injury that has prevented me from running competitively in college. When I run by right lower leg turns inward after about 1 mile, I thought it was overpronation but orthotics didn't work, motion control shoes somewhat stabilize it, but not enough. Orthopedic doc took x rays everything is ok with my leg . Any sugguestions?? I really want to get going on running again.
thanks

Also i want to tone up and shape up a bit before summer and ive heard this is a good cardio exercise. Does jogging make your calves massive? Just something i heard and not sure if its just a myth.

I have been told that you can minimize menstrual cramps by reducing the intake of caffeine or eliminating it completely from the diet during your period, but one of the active ingredients in Midol is caffeine. I am so confused.
