My husband and I are going on a trip and have to share a hotel room. We normally sleep in seperate rooms b/c of his snoring. I know I will not be able to sleep in the hotel with his LOUD snoring. I was thinking about some noice cancelling headphones or something like that so I can get some sleep that night too. I have treid earplufs and I can still hear him.

I had unprotected sex in march of 2005 and was at high risk of HIV exposure/infection. I was tested three times - ELISA only, no Western Blot - in the following three months. My last test was almost a full three months after potential exposure. I tested negative all three times.

However, I have had a number of strange symptoms over these past two years, none of which were present before my potential exposure. These include but are not limited to: peripheral neuropathy/paresthesia, occasional fasciculation and/or involuntary tremors, and various skin lesions. And this week I tested positive for Tuberculosis via a PPD (tuberculin sensitivity/Mantoux test) test.

I would like to know how likely it is that my positive PPD is a result of immunosupression from HIV infection. I cannot think of any other reason for testing positive (discarding the possibility of a false positive), and do plan on being tested for HIV as soon as possible, but I would like to hear from others first.

Thank you

i went out to eat tonight and was just wondering if someone could give me an estimate of how many calories this meal would be. here is the menu description ...

Calypso Chicken Stir Fry
An array of fresh chopped vegetables sauteed with citrus grilled chicken, tossed in Hoisin stir fry sauce. Served over crunchy yellow rice.

i would say that there was about 1.5 cups rice and 1.5 cups chicken breast, and maybe 2 cups vegetables. the rice was pretty greasy/oily. any ideas? thank you!

What type of natural remedy can be used for dealing with a large fibroid tumor? My mother has almost died because she literally bleed to death (menstrauting heavily for months). She became severly anemic with a blood volume level of a mere 3. Normal is 12. She recieved 5 blood transfusions over a 2 month span. They believe it's all been a result of the fibroid tumor in her uterus. She is trying desperatly to get their insurance company to cover it but they are jerking my parents around calling all of this pre existing and saying they wont cover a dime for any of it including the bills already. My parents are already 100,000 in medical bills. They will not cover the surgery until Nov. of this year. What can be taken naturally in the mean time to help her not have the severe pain and bleeding. Her stomach is so bloated she looks like she's 5 months pregnant. She always has pain and she always bleeds so bad. I'm worried so badly about my mom. Someone help please!!!

Today I got the results of my ultra sound, and have had a Bakers Cyst confirmed, with possible meniscal tear. Now have to wait to see the orthopaedic surgeon, and get an MRI to decide what to do.
The knee and leg is very swollen and painful, and I've been told to elevate the leg as much as possible and to avoid weight bearing exercise.
I've read all I can find about the cyst, and I get that now, but no one says how much rest is rest! As every step is weight bearing, am I OK walking round the house, (please say washing up is bad) taking the dog out, running marathons. Any one got any ideas?

I've had these terrific, painful cramps and/or spasms in the tops of my feet and can't find out what is causing it. I have read about MORTON'S NEUROMA as a possible cause, but can't get any doctor to do the test needed to see. I have the characteristic tender pain between the 3rd and 4th toes (at one doctor's appointment, he pressed down on the top of my foot here and left a bruise that lasted almost a month), the tingling, etc. connected with it, but no doctor is willing to do surgery on my feet to correct it because I have flat feet and arthritis in the soles of my feet as well. I can't take this pain much longer.

I have a friend who as of today was just diagnoised with breast cancer, stage 2. We are thinking of trying to get her down to Cancer Treatment Center of Zion, IL and was wondering if anyone had any good (or bad) experiences there and if they considered the treatment appropriate and helpful. We live 500 miles from there, but we want to see if we can get her up there. Just wanting some input, thanks.

For about a month now, i've had what i thought was a viral flu (told by the doctors it was). But a month seems just a little too long. I've been dizzy, haven't really been able to eat too much, peeing ALOT (every 30 min or so) and having an on and off low fever. I'm also very congested, and the doctors thought it might also be sinusitis. I'm worried something more along the lines of diabetes... or pregnancy???? eeek. I took a pg test today and it was negative, and i'm also on my period so i highly doubt that it's pregnancy. I have slight anxiety feelings every now and then also that started when the sickness started. Doctors also tested for a thyroid problem... negative. Does this sound like something serious like diabetes or anything like that?? =(

This company is offering a 18mo. prescription, vision, chiropractic, ans dental plan. They claim they are not an insurance company. I know there are legit co. out there, but what about this one? If they are fake...I just got burned. My checking account has a withdraw of 279.99 for the program, I didn't approve this. Has this happened to anyone else?
