the only symptom she has is a chronic cough and once in awhile she has like spit coming back up her throat, by the way she is 72 years old and may have Mackulur degenerate, still going for tests about that, I thought I would add that in, because when she coughs her eyes turn really really red and water like she has been crying. She does not have heart burn, her throat does bother her only when she coughs. She had an upper GI,chest xray so far and thats what they come up with, we think you have acid reflux. She probably coughs every half hour or so then she has to have a drink of water and something to suck on like some candy or cough drop because she can't get her breath if she does not. Any thoughts on this? Thanks

This is my first month to take the pill. I had unprotected sex and missed a pill the same day. I'm just wondering if I should worry about pregnancy or not.

I was looking for something that might help me to just relax in general and not be so highstrung all the time, perhaps improve concentration and flexibility too.

Is there anything you can recommend that I should consider?

Thanks!

I have been bad with checking my blood, until the last few days. This morning my reading was 171. I am taking 1000mg Metformin evry 8 hours and 10 mg every 12 hours, each day. I'm not sure what I am eating that is bad for me, but these numbers worry me. I see my doctor every 3 months and will need to have blood work (incl Hem A1C) before my next appt in Sept. I'm not sure if I should call my doctor at this time or wait. Does anyone some general suggestions that I can use to try to reduce this number? Or maybe references (books or websites)? I know I need to increase my daily exercise too, but I'm sure I'm eating the wrong kinds of foods, to affect me way into the next morning. I was diagnosed in 1999 but have forgotten much of what I learned from that long ago. I'm hoping someone can help me now - my wife is pleading for me to do SOMETHING, and I admit things are out of control. I know there are others out there who have gone through this and are better now.

How come sometimes they sink and sometimes they float? Sometimes one will break and half of it will sink and half of it will float? I've just always wondered.

An internet hate campaign in Yahoo Answers has poured hate after hate for months now, usually using "questions" almost exactly the same.

They have posted my estimated 2200 questions followed by
10 pathetic support answers each, 2200 times 10 = 22,000 .It is ironic justice that their mental illness may someday be analysed so students of psychology to learn about the nasty side of the human psyche.

Remember what they are doing, they are gloating with satisfaction at the hurt of a family who may have lost a child to a paedophile killer, interesting stuff for a psychologist

Perhaps it will have some future use in medical research

After watching my friend of 16 years die of cancer about 1 1/2 years ago at 38 years of age I find that life just doesn't make sense. I believe we all die when God intends us to die and there's no getting around that. All the talk people have of if only_______ had happened so and so wouldn't be dead to me is ridiculous.
However, since she died I have started to feel like we are just like a bunch of candles, The wind constantly blows and poof we're gone. Currently, I don't find the idea that we're going someplace else comforting. I hate watching CSI or any show that depicts and glorifies death. 80% of the shows we have on TV center around death and finding the "killer". I would like to be joyful again and enjoy life. I can't seem to find my way there. Sometimes I feel like I am just going through the motions.

I have an eye sty and orientation is soon and school. Is it possible that it can get so bad, I could go into Surgery? Is it true it is caused by stress? It would make sense because i started feeling pain in my eye when i came home from a vacation to a house of responsibility and frustration. Also, what are some things i could do to help it go away, or even voodo things, like my mom said if i swiped a bunch of my hair on it 9 times across in the morning before i got out of bed, it would go away, my aunt had it and said that worked, but my eye still hurts right now. Here are my questions just incase i confused you-
1. Is it possible to get surgery?
2. Does the Hair swipe 9 times across it help?
3. What are other things that could make it go away?
4. Is it possible that coming home from my vacation to a house of responsibility would have caused it?

Thank you so much!
