Isn't it strange how diabetics get excemption from paying prescription costs yet asthmatics dont?? They are both potentially life-threatening illnesses so how is this fair?? I'm asthmatic and my partner is diabetic and we have the same ammount of prescriptions. He gets his free but I have to pay. Do we need to petition the government for a change??

im sick of trying all the diets, none work. Ive heard that if you dont eat for over a week but drink water you lose heaps of weight.

My Daughter's bday is coming up. A small gorup of 4 yr old will be in attendance. I know at least one boy is allergic to milk and eggs. I really do not want to bake a dairy free cake myself. It will be a hot Sat early 10-12. I think i may be o.k not doing cake. What can I do that the kids will be just as excited for? Sorbet..Jello with gummy fish? ( under the sea / mermaid theme fyi)Novelty popscicles. But what else? Something else? I've seem a recipe for a watermelon cake usuing real watermelon and cool whip. Is cool whip dairy/egg free? I know I can just do a reg . cake. Most Moms with kids with allergies bring their own treat. Since it will be only about 6 I'd prefer for everyone to be included. Someone will have a great idea I can feel it!!!

I had some Chinese food in a restaurant last night, and choked
on some rice. I tried to cough it out. But I'm not sure that it did
the job. I went on eating, but felt something was still in the
windpipe (don't know the medical term for this).

Even today, 16 hours later, I felt something is my windpipe (more like the lung now). I tried to cought it out a few times, but to no avail. It's probably pretty deep inside now.

I suspect it's just 1 or 2 grains of rice. I assume over time, they will just disintegrate?

Is there anything I can do? Is this serious? What pre-caution should I take? Would I be able to do some cardiovascular
exercises, such as running? I am afraid breathing in big gulp
of air will just push down the rice further into the lung?

Above all, should I be concerned about this?

Thanks.

i'd like to stop my runny nose the old-fashioned way; not the "go-to-clinic-and-you're-done" method. it's not exactly mucus. it's more like water coming out of your nose - but it's QUITE sticky. and btw it's white. anybody can help?

We had a family BBQ this weekend and I did a lot of walking around with no shoes from indoors to outdoors. Lots of cooking and cleaning. I noticed a little pain when I walked on my foot and pressed down a certain way. My fiance' burned a stick pin and tried to pick it out. He could not see it but I could feel it when he brushed across it with the tweezers, trying to grasp it. No luck. He got tired (his eyes) and my foot was getting soar from the sticking with the stick pin. Please help. Thank you.

I personally think so. Nimble small breasts are a poem. Like butterflies. So delicate and beautiful, yet you can't restrain from wanting them in the hollow of your hands.
