I'm wondering about the AC1 blood test, and how is it taken (meter computer plugged, prick of finger, blood draw?), as well as measured (like which number is in the normal range)?(: Thank you. I am also a type one diabetic.

My partner and I had decided that we want to put a stop to have any more children, no matter what happens. I think to be responsible people, the best thing to do is to have a tubal ligation. However, I had read about side effects like heavy bleeding, prolonged menstrual cycle, pelvic pains, putting on weight etc please share..........

Just wondering. For some reason I have become hooked on it and enjoy it. Is there anything wrong with this? What do you think?

I'm 21. I've been a D cup practically since I was 13 and they haven't grown or shrunk since but I've never been properly fitted. but on recent trips to the department store I seem to need a DD bra. Is it possible for them to grow after 8 years of not growing? They are already too big and I don't want them any bigger. I have gained some weight but only like 5 or 10 pounds. In the past I've gained and lost more and I still remained a D cup.

I have three burns on my body and I was wondering if my hair would ever re-grow over them. I have a minor 2nd degree burn, a 2nd degree burn and a minor 3rd degree burn. ((When I say minor I mean it's not the worst it could be but it's bad enough to be that degree.)) They are friction burns if that makes any difference. I have seen a doctor and we are treating them with water proof band aids and polysporin.(If that makes any diffrence.))

He has had many partial mis-diagnoses like ADHD and OCD, but now that he is properly diagnosed he refuses to accept it and is also refusing to take any medications to help him with it. This is very stressful for me to deal with and I would really appreciate some feasible solutions.

My tooth is driving me nuts. I was supposed to have it pulled about a year ago, but at the time it wasn't giving me any problems. Now, my income isn't at it's best, and I can't afford to see my dentist. Is there any type of pain reliever that I can get. Don't say cloves, orajel or ambasol... it doesn't work. Don't say pop a few tylenol, because that doesn't stop the pain. I am tempted to pull the tooth out myself, but I know the consequences in doing that. I know on a adult tooth how far the roots go and if its infected things will just get worse... PLEASE help, serious people respond please.

I use Certain Dri at night it has "Aluminum Chloride 12%" and I put on Tag Antiperspirant in the morning and if it washes off in the pool or something, I put it on again later (if I'm going somewhere) it has "Aluminum zirconium trichlorohydrex Gly 17%". Will using these as often as I do eventually lead to cancer or Alzhiemer's? Should I just switch to regular deaodarant but still use Certain Dri?

I had a laminectomy & discectomy 17 days apart, now I've got to have a bi-level fusion, all within 6 mos., I've had more pain since surgery, than b 4 surgery. Then I just recently found out that the pain mgmt doc that my surgeon sent me to, that performed several epidural injections, myelogram and a disco gram, isn't even board certified to do that work, all he is , is a rehab therapist. A recent MRI, showed a re-herniation at the same level operated on twice, and they say my back is in worse shape now, than b 4 surgery. Serious answers only please.

Is neurontin or SSNRI drugs (effexor) helpful? Do you do meditation? This question can apply to anyone who deals with constant unpredictable pain.

well I've mostly been unhappy alot in my life, even as a little girl.
in gr 9 I had lots of friends but in grade 10 I was forced to move schools. It made me start feeling lonely and insecure. I finally got to move back to my old school, in gr 11 but then, none of my friends wanted to talk to me anymore. It made me really sad, and I cried alot. its been a year and now I'm starting grade 12. I still don't have any close friends and I got a bunch of scars on my body during the summer. so now I'm almost always angry or worried or sad. I feel like I'm fighting it everyday, and I just want to be a stronger person. I feel like I can't get away from the feeling and I can't even concentrate on stuff like homework. cuz I'M ALWAYS thinking about it.
someone help!!

I recently spent the weekend at my sister's house. She had a cook out and everyone was outside a lot. Just recently I have started feeling ill. My neck is stiff, my body has a few aches (ecspecially in my legs and shoulders), I'm tired (could be because I'm busy), I also have a mild head ache, I also get dizzy spells where I crash into things and not even knowing how (kind of like being drunk only I don't drink and never have). I don't know if it's because of stress or something more serious. Please help!

lately i have been hearing like a tiny cracking sound sometimes when the baby moves. I'm afraid there could be something wrong with the baby or me.
what could it be?
it sounds almost as if u were to push or brush two finger nails against each other to make a popping sound.

I'm not looking for a prescription. I'm only able to get 6 or 7 hours sleep before I HAVE to get up. I have lots of things to do as a single parent and not enough time to do it in. I'm constantly tired during the day and the sleep I get doesn't feel like good sleep. I drink coffee throughout the day but it doesn't seem to help much. Ephedrine products went off the market a few years ago so I'm trying to find something to help me stay awake longer and be more alert. Please no speaches about needing rest and whatnot. I can't get any more sleep and the coffee isn't working. What can I do?
