Okay, this is what it was like, but it is really hard to explain so just bear with me here:

Put both of your hands up like you're going to give someone a "double high-five" or you're pushing something away (i.e. fingers spread apart, hands up straight). Then face your palms in towards each other, about 2 inches apart. Bend both of your middle fingers down and press your nail beds together. Then let the rest of your fingers bend slightly so that they're not sticking straight up.

She did NOT have me do all the steps in that order or anything, I was just trying to explain the position that my hands were in. In reality, she just made that same hand position with her own hands and said, "do this." This was an appointment with a gasteroenterologist for evaluation of acid reflux, if that matters.

I'm very curious as to what that test was supposed to do. Maybe she just had a sick fetish, I don't know. SHe was an odd duck. Thanks in advance! I'll pick a best answer TODAY!!!!!!!!!

How often, where, how old are you and what religion (if any)?

Just wanted to cut through the myths, lies, hypocrisy, bravado, etc.

Can someone give me some insight ? My pre-teen son has a knee infection and the Dr. says it is MRSA and gave me Keflex. After reading a little I called and told her Keflex does not work against MRSA and Bactrim does. She then said she ASSUMES it is MRSA but won't know 100% until the culture comes back in 4 days. I asked her then why dont you just put him on Bactrim to kill the worser of two evils. She called in the prescription for Bactrim; my question is: will Bactrim kill whatever the infection is (MRSA and Non-MRSA) and is this a good idea ? My thinking is that we should attack the potential worse virus first, we can alway knock out the lesser next week if the culture comes back negative or the Bactrim does not work !! I guess what I am saying is it sounds like Bactrim is better than Keflex, so why not just use the better medication if that one will work for any baccterial infection INCLUDING MRSA ?? Please Advise !!

medical experts, plz help!!!
Please come to a quick rescue of a Chinese college girl student (20 years old), who is suffering an unknown disease. She can not retain any sodium in her body. She keeps losing it. She is now hospitalized in Beijing. Doctors there can not tell why it happens and can not stop the lost. All they can do is prescribe salt in capsules for her to take in to supply the losing element needed in her body. And she has to minimize the water-taking, as she loses sodium in urinating.
It all happened four weeks before when she began to get ill like she was having a cold. She felt weak and had a fever. A doctor examined her and asked about her health history and the girl reported that she had suffered myocarditis when she was 14. The doctor concluded that her cold induced the outbreak of the past disease and prescribed some medicine by fluid infusion. However, she got worse after the injection: she had violent spasm and run into great danger. She then was transferred to a Beijing hospital and doctors there can not decide on her case, either. Now the girl looks quite pale and is very weak. She is losing weight increasingly. She has fever and occasionally it runs very high.
Can anyone help the poor girl?
I am very sorry that I can’t give sufficient information for her illness. I’m one of her teachers and I’m not in medical field. We are now in different cities: she is in Beijing and I am in Tangshan, 240 km apart. I am trying to collect the necessary data about her condition but it takes time. My appeal is to attract attention from advanced medical experts worldwide, who want to know more and have a golden heart to help the needed.
A thousand thanks!!!

my mother has fybromalgia which is a muscle disorder like arthirtis. It is very painful and sometimes she gets muscle spasms and you know muscle spasms can be very powerful and painful. This morning she got a spasm in her back while she was standing and she couldn't move because the pain is so bad so she just collapsed and hit her head on the edge of a table.I heard the fall when I was upstairs and I flew down to see what had happened.Then when we tried to help her up she didn't know what had happened. She seems alright. She remembers everything except for the fall.I was crying. I am worried because I was thinking that maybe it was a mild stroke or something. I want her to go to the hospital but she wont go. And plus she may have a head injury.So I know that fybromalgia cause muscle spasms but do muscle spasms cause blackouts. Thank You

I've heard both that the strand of Flu in the vaccine is "Dead" and I've heard people say it is "Alive". In year's past I've gotten the Flu right after receiving a Flu shot. So which is it?

Please only answer if you have done the dieting/weight loss thing and actually have something of value to say.

I am wanting to lose about 40 pounds over the next 4 months, meaning 10 pounds a month. Is this a reasonable goal?

Do any of those pills/products that are meant to assist in the weight loss process actually work? What were your experiences? Thanks!

I had surgery to remove my gallbladder back in August 2004. I had stones and I had got to the point to where I couldn't even walk. It was so painful. I went through at least five doctors before one found out that my pain was due to stones in my gallbladder. At first everyone thought that it was gas or acid build up. So I was put on Nexium, given Maalox, and even Aciphex. All of these medications didn't work at all. Since the surgery, I still experience the same pain as before. It's constant pain (always there) and sometimes it get real extreme. I've been through everything from simple medication to a biopsy. And still my pain persists. I just want to know if there is anyone out there experiencing the same pain or someone who has gone through the same surgery and how you cope with it or if there is anything I can do to get rid of the pain.
