I wonder if this condition is preventable. (Smart/wise-cracks comments are not helpful unless they make me laugh. :0)

My husband has a severe form of multiple myeloma. He is only 39 years old. I have been trying hard to try to cope with his illness but with all of my other responsibilities(kids, work, school, home, bills etc) I find it difficult to be there for him the way he wants me to. I cook for him and take him to his appointments, I wash and bathe him as well and change his bandages. Those things do not bother me. We have to wait until his medical insurance kicks in to get home health care. Until then, the thing that bothers me most is every time I try to get started on another task he is calling me to do something else for him (get him water, help him to the bathroom, fix him a snack, find the remote) the list goes on and on. He was given a four way walker and a cane but he would rather lean on a person than try to use those tools to help himself. What advice do you have?

I should also add that he can get around with help from a person or the devices that were prescribed by his doctor like the four way walker and cane, but it does drain him to use those muscles.

I was raped and wondering how long I have to wait to see if I have been infected. I have no insurance and the nurses in the ER didn't offer me one. I am not sure how to get one done or how long I have to wait to get an accurate result. Is it something that I have to get done a few times over a period of time. What about other tests? What else should I get tested for and where should I go?

...You get more pollutants from car exhaust walking down the street then you do from a cigarette. Or sitting around a bon fire. Obese people do harm others by being bulbous. I have dings in my car door from the fat lady who can't get out of her door in a normal sized parking lot, I have had to share airplane seat with people who spill over into mine, and our health care system is taxed by uninsured people who kill themselves one Twinkie at a time. Oh, and I don't smoke, I love animals, and I have never coughed/gaged at another person.

Five years ago my friend started walking differently. He became very unbalanced. Now his fingers have started to look strange. Also he sweats profusely and has started having a very unpleasant smell even though he showers twice a day. He refuses to go to the Dr. but his walking and coordination is getting worse. What is the problem? I'm afraid for him.

Do you think it would work if I stuck a syringe in my mosquito bite and sucked out the venom? Would it be safe?

Also, if you bitten by 200 mosquitos would you be sick from all the insect fluid in your body?

I told some critical care nurses I had an ablation for AV node re-entrant tachycardia and they never heard of it. It is supposed to be a fairly common reason to have an ablation. I am so thankful to have seen a sign board which said "Prairie Heart Institute". Top 5 in the nation. They cured me there. I thought I was going to die and no one would be there when I did it. Dr. Kreigh Moulton is a genius. He fixed my broken heart.
