My granddaughter is living in London and a friend told me she will probably have bad teeth because there's no flouride in the water. She's five years old and moved there one year ago.

Why do doctors just ASSUME they know what is wrong when they haven't even had enough time to HEAR what it is about?? And why do they just hand out pills to make everything better?

When you, the patient KEEP ASKING for AN ANSWER besides being DRUGGED into OBLIVION??? And after you REFUSE the medication, they call you "uncooperative". But if that QUACK would have listened to you to begin with, he would have known that you are against being medicated UNLESS absolutely necessary!!

What happened to those good old-fashioned country doctors that cared?? Isn't there any doctors that care about anything EXCEPT MAKING LOTS OF MONEY anymore??

If so, where can I find one????

I'm 19. I took a chest xray in 2006 which came back normal and took another one 2 weeks ago. The doctor said that everything appeared normal except one thing. My heart has slightly enlarged since my last chest xray in 2006, but it is still in normal limits.

Now I am being referred to the cardiologist which I already set up an apppointment for.

I do not have high blood pressure and my general doctor said my heart rate seems normal and he does not hear any murmurs when checking me.

However, I have gained more than 10 pounds within the year which everyone has been noticing becuase they ask if I am getting fatter. I've been less active and lately I've been having shortness of breath and heavy breathing from doing little things. But in PE I am still able to run 15 minutes on the treadmill without gasping for air. I don't know, its wierd. I am a very anxious person, so there is also a chance that part of my breathing problem is that.

Is this cardiomyopathy? Heart failure? Or what?

I've been on methadone maintenance therapy for 6 years and have just recently (2/21/07) switched to suboxone with the goal of becoming drug free by June ' 07. People that have experience with this drug say that less is better and the shorter amount of time on the drug the easier it will be in getting off of it. My Dr. wants me to stay on it for a minimum of 2 yrs. and he is unable to give me a good reason why. So then, do I detox relatively quickly and get on with my life, or prolong this misery for another 2 yrs. per the Dr? Any suggestions from Sub users is greatly appreciated...but you don't have to be a Sub user to answer. Thank you.

My son is waking up 2-5 times a week, usually during naps but sometimes at night with a terrified cry. I can't seem to sooth him and he usually still has his eyes closed. I try to wake him and sing to him and have tried making him laugh but tears just keep falling for as long as 10 mins! He NEVER cries during the day! It's breaking my heart, I dont let him watch scary movies and I dont watch any disturbing television when he is awake. It just started about a month ago, he just turned 16months! HELP PLEASE!

How do people over come eating addictions. Why doesn't the ogoverment fund more programs or provide more medical assistance to people trying to overcome eating addictions?


Do you ever notice how expensive and how risky some of the treatments there are out there for that.

I understand some people suffer trauma and eat as a result to comfort. But, what if people just really enjoy it?

Thoughts?


BTW I am not obese but I do like to eat and sometimes I like to eat a little too much and just wondered what ideas there are to overcome my eating habits.

I just read that the # of calories you should eat is calculated by your weight times 10 and subtract 500 to that I go to the gym 5x a week 45 mins of cardio 30 mins of weight lifting. So according to this it'd be (130 *10)-500= 800 calories?
I'm 130lbs 5'9

I'm going through ABVD chemo (starting round 2 next week) and am having some pretty nasty side effects, as expected. There is only so much my oncologist can suggest for the effects, and I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with acupuncture for this type of thing? The worst side effect is just pain, bone pain, jaw pain, muscle pain, etc. I don't want to go through life on pain meds constantly, and am hoping there are alternative options to dealing with the side effects.
