Health - 31 August 2007

First off - if you are a Dr. or know a Dr. in the specialty of Gastroenterology who is on the cutting edge of new treatments - please IM golden_autumn_dancer (on yahoo network). Please read on - Every time my mom eats (even bland foods like plain boiled chicken or babyfood veggies) she gets so much acid that she thows up violently or burps so louldly it is amazing in such a petite woman. Her stomache is litterally killing her. She was thin to begin with, but this is insane!
She has had her gallbladder removed (it was found to be 100% inactive) she has had mulitple scopes (done by local gastroentrologists), eaten the radioactive stuff, has had a metal rod with a camera down her throat all night long and has had a CT scan. She was also tested for H. Pylori (negative). The findings were slow motility and a tiny Hiatle Hernia. Both of which should have been able to be effectively treated with medications. The medications do not work; she is getting sicker! She has had this for 14 years.

I don't understand why people even think in taking in those things. Sure, some find it attractive that most studies say they make you temporarily happy, but isn't that not enough a good reason to risk your life and standing life for? Any ideas or suggestions why people would think to use them?!

I have been on birth control pills for almost 5 years now. After years of bloating, moodiness, headaches, nights sweats, etc. I am really thinking about getting off them. I will use a different form of birth control, no more pills or even injections. Is it bad to be on them so long or even longer? I feel like the past year has been the worst with bloating and moodiness. Does this increase after long use of the pill? Can long use of BCP's cause future health problems?

Would it be clean to wash your daughter's underwares(beside bras) in a machine that washes clothes of men and other family members?
Wouldn't it be better to handwash them for health?

I'm a 42 yr. old female. I am currently experiencing moderate butt pains. Some burning. I have had no changes in diet, no changes in bathroom (constipation or diarrhea), no blood in my stool. The discomfort is somewhat persistant although it doesn't interfere at all with sleeping.

I have used Prep H with not a lot of relief. I have taken Aleve but that doesn't seem to work either.

I have no troubles at using the restoom. I have increased my intake of fiber so, of course, I have extra gas.

I thought if it was hemorroids, that Prep H or Aleve would help.

Please, serious answers only. I really want to know.

Such a young girl taken from her family in a horrible way, why can anyone do such a thing and cause so much hurt?
the like below is the the story of what happened to her. I just feel is it not about time the police got a handle on this kind of behavour or are you to worry all our lives no matter where you live or what age they are about our children?

My doctor suggested low or medium profile implants for me because I don't want to go too large and I want them as natural as possible, but I've heard that the low profile are rarely used. I have a small to medium frame....Anyone here had breast augmentation? If so, what did you go with and were you happy with the results?

I hear you get adrenaline when your really scared and it gets you to see things in slow motion and endorphins come out when you excersice for a long time and it takes all the pain away and it gets you stronger for a while. Whats the truth I tried to make my endorphins come out one time by doing sit ups for 30 min. but nothing happened.
