I just some "gas permeable" lenses (which is by now a misnomer). One of my previous doctors had asked if I'd ever heard of keratoconus. This refers to a conical shape of a cornea. I asked him what the treatment was. He said rigid/gas perm lenses, which will tend to flatten them. My most recent prescription was with another doctor, and I requested gas perm lenses. I got the lenses and a starter kit. I was very pleased. These lenses have a coating that allows me to not have to do daily cleaning and enzyming. The starter kit was a single bottle of Alcon Unique pH. It is no longer in stores, and the Alcon website says it has been discontinued due to declining gas perm usage worldwide. I tried Optimum by Lobab Labs, and it burned the fire out of my eye when I put the lens in. It seems you must rinse with a different solution. Other wearers say they hate the Boston system. Is there a replacement that doesn't require rinsing or more steps? Users just rave about Unique pH on the 'Net.

overies. I found it last night when I felt it in my lower pelvis, so did the doctor today. I had a CT scan yesterday, as it was in the afternoon. I go back to my doctors in Monday to see what stage it is. Now would I have recieved something in the mail now by the doctors clinic if it was bad or would they just fax the results to the doctors which they did yesterday, becasue on Monday is my appoitment and they will tell me there? I need your opinions here. Since they faxed it yesterday they have it now, and tomorrow being sunday they are closed. So does this mean I will find out Monday? Please help

How many of you can feel ovulation?? and what doe sit feel like with you all? Because, I have been bleeding off and on for about 2 months now, and it's getting rediculous. I'm a Married woman, and my husband and I have been 'trying" now for an entire YEAR...A year ago, I got off of my birthcontrol that I was on for 3 years....Anyway, I KNEW that I am/was pregnant recently, because It's jsut one of those things that a woman just feels and knows. This is the ONLY real time I have felt this way, and I just started bleeding again....My right overy feel like it's Brused, and it's puffy feeling and I feel bloated.....but I just stopped "bleeding" about 10 days ago....about three weeks ago, I went to the Doctors, and got all kinds of bloodwork and tests. Everything was normal, and my preg. test was negative..but I feel that I have been pregnant now for about at LEAST a week....So am I feelingovulation? Does pregnant women even ovulate? What's going on? Please help. Thanks.

I really need to know if the pain I am having is my heart. It sure feels like it's my heart. The pressure I feel is literally on my left breast, sort of in the nipple area. I usually get the pain after eating and I have tried to believe it is just heartburn, but is it really heartburn, GERD, like I have been told it is? The pressure seems to slowly go away as I burp and release gas. But it's real funny, because at times when the pain hits sharp, I apply menthol pomade and it goes away. The pressure seems to also radiate a nerve-feeling to my left arm, and goes away after I crack my shoulder or something. So is it heartburn? A pulled muscle? Joint? It's on my upper left side, right where my breast is. It can't be breast cancer, 'cause the pressure feels like an inflammation, watery, cartilage feeling. It sometimes goes to my back too. What is this? So many people have asked about this, but was hoping to hear more.

most of the time when i get my periods i get servere pains.
is this normal and should i be alarmed by this?

i have gone to a doc (specialist) but she just showed me some exercise to do.
when i exercise i get less pain.
i have heard that this problem of getting pains during your period has a long term effect. is it true that getting these pains can cause one not to give birth, interfers with the womb?

I can't seam to find the muscle that I'm ment to be strenghtening. Either that or I'm not tenseing it properly. I have just started trying and It doesn't feel like anything is happening.

add on: I went on some medication that had the side effect of preventing orgasms. Prior to going on the medication It used to be extreamly easy for me to have an orgasm. Whilst on the medication it was impossible, and now, 6 months after stopping the medication, it is extreamly difficult.

okay so i have a question for the girls..i recently found out that i have a bladder infection (3 days ago) and i was supposed to get my period 2 days ago.. i was wondering if the bladder infection has anything to do with my period being late.. i am also on birth control which i have been taking for the last month.. and im just curious to know why my period might be late!? and i dont think its pregnancy.. my boyfriend and i have had sex but we used both a condom and birth control.. so..if anyone knows why my period might be delayed or you have been through the same thing please help.. Thanks... oh and this is my first (and hopefully only) bladder infection..
i am also taking anibiotics for the bladder infection which i started taking today.
