Is it a virtual certainty that if you have diabetes you will develop retinopathy?

I went to the pharmacy to pick up Ortho-Tricyclen today and they gave me TriNessa instead. I thought it would be fine but then I looked on some websites and people reported absolutely awful side-effects. Is this for real? Do you think I should go ahead and take the pills or demand the name brand instead?

Well I was just wondering because my friends mom says shes allergic to tomatos the fresh ones, but aren't they mostly made out of water????????????????????????? I was so suprised she actually has to take a medicine if she eats a fresh tomato!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bet you could imagine not having a fresh tomato and only a canned thig of them!!!!!!!! Also I had family friends who's son was told by his father that tommatos are actually bad for you so then I didn't eat tomatos for about a month and then I couldn't take it anymore... Well actually I think I now the answer to this question because if you drink water with bad stuff in it than you can probably die, right??????? I think so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we have 238 7 432102876543210987654321098765432109876543210987654321

I have trouble breathing sometimes at night. Its not a constant thing and usually happens once every so often or it can happen three nights in a row and not show up for months.

I'll be sleeping and then all of a sudden I wake up to gasp for breath. Sometimes I feel like I wasn't breathing after I wake up and I have to cough. Most of the time it happens when I'm sleeping on my back. Its scary and I'll never get used to it. I don't snore and I'm not over weight. I do have a deviated septum.

I am also tired all the time. After I wake up about two hours later I need to go back to bed. After I wake up from my nap around two more hours later I need to sleep again. My last Dr didn't really seem to care. She blamed my anxiety.

A long time ago my aunt (who sometimes told wild tales) said that my cousin had to have one...we are not close...why would this be necessary? Has anyone heard of this? I am a nurse and have never heard of a similar case...

I'm researching the modern practice of drinking urine, but I'm having a very hard time finding a statistic for the number of Americans or people worldwide who drink their urine, as a part of "urine therapy/ urotherapy" or other purposes.

Eleven points to whoever can give me some links to the statistics I'm after.

In jr hi and high school when I was that young, all boys used a common, open locker room and shower, while the girls supposedly had individual shower stalls, for some reason. Has that changed? Do most boys' locker rooms have individual shower stalls and more privacy now?

So many of the "comparison" questions asked here, regarding "size" and stage of development, seem like they would be easily answered if boys actually saw each other in the locker room on a daily basis. I wonder if they're missing out on that learning experience these days, that we used to take for granted "back in the day." We always noticed the differences, of course, but we also saw others at the same stage as ourselves so we were never pre-occupied with whether we were "normal." Nor did we have an opportunity to exaggerate our development. Has that changed?

I have not taken it... yet... but someone who took it for awhile said she started having lucid dreaming before she awoke in the morning... (FYI: Lucid dreaming is when you know you're dreaming and can control the dream.)

I would try it if I thought it might help me with lucid dreaming...

Anyone?

I just got my results on my MRI and it says that there is:
linear tear of the posterior horn, lateral meniscus extending to the inferior articulating surfacer laterally. The medial meniscus is intact.
There is no thinning of the cartilage over the femoral condyle. There is small joint effusion in the suprapatellar bursa. There is no abnormal marrow signal intensity.

Can someone tell me if this will heal on its own? Going to a doctor is going to cost me a lot so I'm kinda holding off on it. If I wait too long will it get worse? I've been walking on it for more than a month now.. The only improvement I've seen is the swelling has gone down.
