Health - 22 June 2007

I fell the other day a hit my rib cage badly. Even though I had alot of pain, I didn't have any marks or bruising on my skin where I fell. After a couple of days of pain, I decided to go to the Dr. She ordered an xray. I called and spoke with her today and she said that they did not see any broken ribs on the xray. However, she did say that they were sending it out to radiology for a second look because there were darkened areas on the ribs (both..not just the side I fell on) She called it calcification. What could this be!!?? I am freaking out right now! Please what are all the possibilities?! I am an otherwise healthy 35 year old. Thanks

Has anyone heard about the Freedom ship?
It is said that it will be a floating city or colonization; with the height of 25 stories and a length that is four times the length of the world's largest ship (Knock Nevis)
Is the creation of a floating city a good idea? please share your views.

It has been like this all of his life. From very serious hives to ear infections to upper respiratory infections to tonsilitus to very high fevers to impetigo to poly influenza virus.....the list goes on, and on, and on. He is in the urgent care office almost every other weekend or more. He has attended daycare for the last five months, so that has been the cause of some of it, but not all of it. His doctor says it is normal, but it doesn't feel normal. When will he get a break?? Will his immune system ever build up??

I just turned 18 and I haven't been to a dentist since I was 12. That's when I had 6 of my back teeth pulled out. I had 4 back teeth pulled out before that so I have 10 teeth missing already. The teeth I have left all have cavities in them and a couple are broken. I know it will cost way more than I have to get them fixed and I really don't want them fixed. I'd really rather just have them all pulled out. I had all of my first teeth pulled out when I was 4 cuz they were all rotten and I didn't have any teeth at all for a couple of years so I what that's like. It's not nearly as bad as having ugly teeth that give you problems all the time. My mom hasn't had any teeth for years and I'd much rather go toothless or maybe get false teeth later on than go on like this. I don't have insurance so I'll have pay when I go. I just want them all out as soon as I can get it done even if I have to go toothless. My mom found a dentist with reasonable rates that will do it for me. Should I go for it?

My doc's office just called and told me my hemoglobin is 8.1. It was 10 at last check in March. Since then, I've become pregnant (I'm 3 months along now.) and they said that's probably why it has dropped. The increased my Nifirex to twice daily instead of once a day, plus I take my prenatal. They said if they don't see an improvement, we'll think about a transfusion.

Is that standard practice or a little bit hasty? I really don't like the idea of someone else's blood in me. Is pregnancy a valid reason to cause such a drop in a short amount of time?
