Health - 18 September 2007

My Dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last week. It has also spread to his liver. My sister looked online and clames that the life expectence from the time of diognisis is 3 to 6 months. I am just hoping that there is someone out there that may know more about it and if it is true that he may only live for only another 3 to 6 months. Ineed to know what I am facing, my mother is not telling me anything because she can't face it herself and he is in complete dinale about his condition.

My mother is 46 and is constantly getting hot flashes. And I am beginning to get them as well. I get hot and sweaty (not horribly) then my body will return to its normal temperature. I am 19 going on twenty next month. I know that women get their periods at the same time. I was unsure if it is possible to get hot flashes as well. I don't believe I am going through menopause early. Other than the flashes I don't have any other symptoms. Just wanted some input. Thanks.

My husband is supposed to get a vasectomy and he is freaking out. He is really scared that it is going to change him and make is sex drive go away or mess up his erections. I don't know what to tell him or how to empathize with him. Please give me some advice.

they mock, belittle, and attack your character to others, tarnishing you as a person your not, rubbishing your character, defaming you.
this is really distressing to me, as i am a vunerable 30 year old bpd sufferer who is trying to work on my issues and achieve my goals in life, without all this happening.
i'm hoping for some advise. thanks

I put on my normal perfume but missed my neck and got it on my hands. This was around 12pm yesterday...and ever since I have been extremly sick. When I came home I took a shower and laid down, that didn't seem to help. Now I'm overly sensitive so any smell is making me sick to my stomach.

During the summer, my face is clean and doesnt ahve any oil. I barely need to do any treatments to it. But once the school season starts, it starts getting oily and breaking out. WHY?

I know all about the side effects on the greasy stools and uncontrolling bowels. But is anyone really having any successes out there with this product? How many pills do you take a day? It's expensive so I don't want to spend the money until hear from the ones who are taking this drug. Serious answers only please. Thanks

I've been watching what I eat for a few years now. I've been trying to do all the right things: eat whole grains, stay away from white stuff, no sugar, watching my calorie intake, drinking lots of water, walking to/from work, and I've also been staying away from fat like it was the plague. I dropped about 50 lbs over the course of my new lifestyle, and hit a plateau and stayed at the same weight. Then I began to relax a bit and eat a little more fat. I thought I'd gain weight but I ended up dropping another 10 lbs! Now I KNOW I shouldn't eat MORE fat to drop MORE weight, but I just wonder why I lost more weight when I introduced more fat into my diet? And what do I do from here?

"
Depression...what a handy bs word to give an excuse for LAZY!! You want a reason to get out of bed and do your JOB which I suppose entails that you go to class? Think of being a single mom on MY tax $,stupid and unproductive to the society that houses and clothes you and your bast**d children. Because no man would have genuine respect for a welfare queen.THERE'S your reason girlie...there are plenty of reasons to quit your damn crying and get your lazy a** on track.Take some of that weepy energy you have and imagine yourself as I described,do you not want better than your mother?...bet she's a welfare queen and so you think that's how the world works...how sad. Get up b***h !"

***& why did he just ASSUME I was on welfare & had kids? I don't have any kids, & neither am I on welfare. I'm just very depressed. Depression is a serious mental illness.

I quit smoking last Thursday cold-turkey (I was a pack/day smoker). The hardest times for me are while driving and after eating. How long does it take before the urges go away and the habit is broken?

I have 3 children, ages 9, 6, and 18 mos. My 9 year old has already had crowns on couple of teeth, as well as just now diagnosed with an abcess due to one of his 6 year molars decay, which 6 months ago looked okay. We have been told that both of my 2 older children have hypoenamelism, which is why they are having these problems, but doing a google or yahoo search does not show anything on hypoenamelism. I would love to do some research on this (can read medical lit, as I am a doctor) but do not know where to start. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

One lady told me that it's because of switching deodorants a lot, but I don't switch that much, & I still get them. I can use Dove deodorant for 6 mos. & still get the boils. Other people say it's the aluminum in it, but I don't see aluminum listed as an ingredient.
