I'm 59 and will be off until I find another job with group coverage. I am uninsurable for individual insurance due to pre-existing health problems. I'm in Illinois, USA and COBRA and CHIPS are over $750.00 a month in premiums.

My prescriptions run about $1200 a month and certainly can't afford that on unemployment.

Are you aware of any drug coverage or general health insurance with drug coverage that is reasonabling priced?

I'm due to go in for my 6 week post partum check up tomorrow (I'm a little late, my son is 7 wks) ANYWAY, I got my period two days ago and am wondering if I should wait until after I'm finished or still go tomorrow. Obviously I'm not worried about grossing the doctor out (he was there when I gave birth after all) but I just don't know if they can still do all that they need to.

Does anyone have any good home remedies for easing the pain from a sore throat? My son has strep throat and the over the counter stuff just doesn't seem to be helping him. Any ideas?

I was just reading the directions for the 3 days yeast infection treatment and it says not to have sexual intercourse while using this treatment because it could damage the condom, so i was just wondering if anyone knew how long you have to wait after you've used it for the three days, or if you can just not have sex while your using it?

stutteringcontrol.com

My brother has a bad stuttering problem, has ever since he began to talk and know hes 20. My friends mom found about this thing called the fluency master and was planning on buying it for him.

But I have a few questions a red flags.

#1 They want my mom to pay 3900 through Paypal, which is a ***** about fraudulent charges, and only covers up to 2000 if you do get scammed, and if you pay and the seller empties their bank account, well you're screwed.

#2 You're supposed to go to a specch patheologists to try it out, but they requested CASH ONLY, which leaves no paper trail whatsoever.

# 3 I googled the Doctors name and nothing came up on him.

# 4 The 2 doctors that my mom got a recommendation from and the audiologists who did the ear mold have never heard of the fluency master. We saw a video on VHS that was made in the 1980's and their website looks like it was made in the 1980's, yet 2 docters and an audiologists have never heard of it?

So, I mean, I would for my brother to have this, it would really improve his life, but I dont want my mom to get scammed for $4500.

So whats your opinion?

I think I just broke my hand...or something. I can move it in all directions but I have this dull pain in the back of my hand. It feels much like the pain I got when I broke my hand on a previous occasion. Whats the best way to tell if its really broken?

I hurt it by falling down and landing on my fist...ahem yes...

Just want to hear from anyone who has had surgery that can tell me the feeling right when your going out, can you describe it? I am super nervous to get surgery and have been put under anesthesia once before when I was 6 years old, and I remember it feeling like your fading away, very scary. Help!
