I have diabetes and I am so tired of always having to take shots and keep track of them. It's also a hassle to take insulin at lunch (i'm in high school) around so many people, and going to the bathroom to take it takes up a lot of time. So I'm thinking about getting the pump, but I'm worried about it falling off or getting wrecked since I participate in sports sometimes. And I am also worrying about it getting in the way, since I wear form-fitting shirts and not the really loose ones. (i'd rather not have it stick out)

i have a friend that has been ill first with vomiting for months then seizures and all sorts of nerve damage as well as other health problems. i didnt know anyone could be as sick as she. her husband took total care of her as she lay ill. she has left her husband about a month ago. since they have been apart her energy has come back gradually, she no longer vomits her last seizure was one week after leaving him. we are very suspicious because his first wife died mysteriously with no autopsy. she is gong to the doctor soon to get some lab tests done to see if she was poisoned. does anyone know how long a poison can be detected. or is it too late since she left him a month ago. please i need some advice. her appointment is a few days from now and labs take a while sometimes. i know she has to wait for the results but i need some expert advice.

If it's legal, he's in excruciating pain, and he's absolutely terminal, is it okay to escape his pain now?

My opinion: Unless you've nursed a loved one to the death, you cannot know the depths of pain they experience. They would never put you through the trauma of watching their last minutes after a lasting illness if they could possibly avoid it.

If an animal was this ill, we would euthanize it. But many people would say allowing a man to end his life by himself is wrong, even if his suffering is deep.

I'm not talking about the teenager who is down, or the drunk who is trying to get dry, or the mother, who, having lost a child, wants to join them. These people need to wait, and they will feel better in time or with meds.

What do you think? I want to hear from people who know--people who have experienced great pain, people who have taken care of their ill relatives, and people who would never consider suicide even to alleviate the suffering of the terminally ill.

Ok so I had a lung biopsy on the 16th of July and a chest tube the chest tube was taken out on the 17th and I was discharged on the 17th then readmitted on the 18th because I couldnt breathe, a week later I developed a pneumothorax and had to have a chest tube put in again, that was in for a week then I was discharged for a week but came back with a collapsed lung this time. My question is after the surgery the part underneath my boob between where the cleavage is is numb, my doctor said that some nerve endings where probably hit and they would eventually go back to normal but it's been a month now already. Is this normal? If you have no experience with this then please don't waste my time

if one or both parents had AID's and decided to pass it on to the child, in your opinion would that be like just any other ordinary child or not fair at all?

Bad: the bad i see in it is that the child has to suffer the consequences for the parent's faults, they have to feel sick, they may not have alot of options as others do and it may affect them mentally.

Good: the good i see in it, is that we may never know what kind of medecines and technology may be available in the future, one scientist may find a cure, even though it may be $38873573593853958397 bucks for a few years.

so what is your opinion?

I have an eyelash that has become ingrown. You can see the eyelash, but a thin layer of skin has grown completely over it. I've tried to pick at it, but it is so tender my eyes start watering every time I touch it. Any suggestions (before I call the doctor in the morning)?

Suppose I have a killer toothache and I take a couple aspirin. After a half hour, the pain is still there, so I take a couple tylenol. After another half hour the pain is STILL there, so I take an ibuprophen and call my dentist. Now, assuming I have normal blood pressure and don't drink often (2-3 per week) , is there any danger in this?

I am supposed to take 1 Lexapro (20mg) each morning. At night, I take 1 Lamictal (100mg). Well, I just accidentally took another Lexapro instead of the Lamictal! So, I went ahead and took my lamictal too, but what do I do about the fact that I have had too much lexapro today? When should I take my next dose?

It's too late to call the pharmacy or doctor. (it's 11:25 pm here).

For about 13 days now, my urine has been consistently yellow.

I'm usually someone who goes pee about once every hour (often, I know, but I've been tested and nothing's wrong with me) and my urine has in the past always been clear (or close to it) because I'm usually quite hydrated.

Now, I haven't been doing anything different as far as more exercise or drinking anymore or less than usually (or drinking anything different than usual either), but my urine seems to be yellow all the time (even when I wipe myself the urine on the toilet paper appears yellow).

And to make matters worse, I've been peeing every half hour now. I'm not typically more thirsty than I usually am.

Does anyone knows what caused this or if anything is wrong with me?

BTW... if it helps any, it seemed to start during my period (I was wearing tampons, so I knew the colour) but my period has been gone for a while and this is still going on.

Since ovulation 5 days ago, I have been experiencing horrific breast soreness (shooting pain, hot sensation), nausea, extra discharge (white/clear, no odor, no discomfort), pelvic cramping, and serious fatigue. Although my symptoms are very similar to what I experienced early on in both my previous pregnancies, it's just too early in my cycle for that, not to mention, I had a tubal ligation 3 years ago. I am thinking ovarian cyst, but everything I have read, seems to contradict what I am feeling. Anyone else experience phantom pregnancy symptoms and have an ovarian cyst? Any other ideas what is causing this to occur?

What would happen if a person with diabetes insipidus were to drink alcohol, like around 5-6 drinks. Would it be extremely unhealthy or perhaps even fatal for them, or would it probably just make them feel crappy for a day or two? Thanks!

Okay, I was born a white baby but I guess I naturally get tanned. I have a farmer's tan, where the parts that are exposed to the sun are tanned and the parts that I have clothing on are white. It's kind of weird, and since I am too lazy to tan my whole body all the time, I would rather take away the tan from my face and arms. If I would wear sunscreen SPF 30 every day, would that lighten up the tan, or take it away?

My doctor gave me 75mg of Lyrica to take at bedtime for Fibromyalgia. I'm curious if anyone can tell me if they have taken this low dose and if they saw any improvement in the stiffness of joints and muscles. Everything I've read so far was relief after taking 150+ mg several times a day.

Thanks!!

I had 2 cups of orange juice, a small essential c+ calcium vitamin water, plus a large power c vitamin water with taurine in it and a couple of kid's regular vitamins with vitamin c in them. I heard that if you put enough viatmin c in your system it will knock the cold out of you. If this isn't true it would be helpful if you also told me what will knock the cold out of me
( hopefully in a couple of days). Thanks.
