I have glasses but I wear contacts instead... before I put them on my eyes seem softer, but when I put my contacts on my eyes seem harsher.. the contacts have a blue tint to them. btw these contacts are purely a substitute for glasses, not for changing the colour of my eye etc. lol. what can I do to stop this? help plz? thx

About a month ago, I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. I'm still a kid, so I was wondering if it had any long-term negatives. I quickly accepted the disease though and try to think of it as an advantage

(Before I would eat unhealthy foods, and live without worrying about problems, but now that I have this disease, i HAVE to eat healthier foods so it might benefit me in the long run anyway)

I just had some questions

1) Even if the disease is under control, does simply having the disease increase my risks of complications, just because I have the disease?

2) How likely is it that my children will get the disease

3) Even if you keep everything under controlled (as mentioned in question 1) Will I die more earlier then without it? For example, if I keep a good Blood Sugar 80% of the time, will the 20% of the time it isn't good add up to me when I am older like 60-70 causing me to perhaps "die earlier"

Ok i woke up this morning in a rush to use the bathroom and i was there a long while, when i was done i wipped and noticed some brown discharge from my vagina. I had a glass of cranberry juice the night before, does cranberry juice make you need to go to the bathroom and have brown discharge from your vagina. ( i know the discharge was from the vagina and not just poop...lol) I didn't have a UTI (Urinary TRack infection) i just wanted to try cranberry juice. Did tyhis happen because my body wasn't used to cranberry juice?

Thanks:)

My HMO sent me a letter that my doctor must find a less expensive drug for my hypertension but it's name brand and I called and was told my doctor can find a generic one to do the same result.

Put in call to docs office will discuss next appt. Called my pharmacist and was told that Diovan doesn't have anything in it's class that is cheaper or generic. Was told Diovan is interchangeable with Cozaar which is in the same class but it's the same price and no generic.

If you had to change from Diovan to something cheaper what was it? and how did the change go?

I can't take beta blockers or ACE inhibitors so I might have to pay a couple hundred bucks a month if I can't find anything.

the past week I have had a really bad sweet tooth. I had major ankle surgery 2 weeks ago, it was a four hour surgery and then I had to have a cathiter put in because I wasnt peeing. So I am on crutches for the next 11 weeks and I havnt really gotten my apitite back, but this sweet tooth is killing me. I was just wondering if anyone has had this problem after a major surgery, and if anyone has any good ideas for a healthy sweet tooth snack? I know its kinda a goofy question but if anyone has any good ideas I would love it!!!

I have a lump in my leg and its been there for over a year. i went to the hospital and saw MANY docs and they would all send me home and tell me to put something cold on it. I did but it never went away.They did blood test and said its not a blood cloth in the big vein but it could be in smaller vein then they send me home again...about a month ago a doc sent me to pass an ultrason on my leg and they said it looks like a lump of dilated vein?!? What is that? they didnt say if its dangerous or not..anyway i gtg for more test but it could take another few months..the lump is in my mid calf and its growing alot! also im on ortho evra..could it cause that?? I dont know what to do

Ok so I'm 19 years old, I'm very healthy and go to the doctor for all kinds of check ups every few months... I have like 2 or 3 tiny little bumps on my left Areola, i can see one with a white tip and it looks like a nipple. The pain is mild, but is more painful when I touch it... I DON'T WANT TO POP it... I'm also a MAN, so I read a few answers about pregnant women breast feeding... I'm MALE.
