I came down with Diabetes a year ago this august. It still isn't under control after being on 4 different meds and changing diet with exercise. I'm fed up with 2 foms of insuline because i hate needles and i hate having to swallow 2 differnt kinds of pills because i feel i'm poisoning myself and have always hated taking pills for any reason. Any one out there know of any alternative i can try?

There is no pain or dizziness. It starts as a small cresent moon shape and looks very bright like the sun dancing on water. It increases in size as long as it last. I see it on one side or the other but never on both sides at the same time. I see it when my eyes or open and when I close them I still see it. It blurs my vision in the spot where it is but not completely in my eye. Its like trying to look thru cascadeing water with very bright light shinning on it. I never have any kind of warning when it is about to happen. No pain, only agravation. It only last from about 10 to 20 minutes and when it stops it begins to srink in size until it's gone. When it starts it is a very small cresent moon shape and gets bigger only in the middle and the points on the shape remain small. Always in a cresent moon shape. I f you can help by refering me to a web site for an eye doctor that I can ask. Or if you have had or know someone who has had this problem, Please let me know. Thank you.

Recovery? Incontinence? **Erectile Dysfunction-how long and did you recover? Did you use anything for E.D. and did it work? Would you do this type surgery again? Thank you fellows, all info appreciated.

My mom was recently diagnosed with leiomyosarcoma after a lump in her breast was biopsied. She had it removed and before she starts radiation therapy, she was sent for a CT scan. It was all clear except for some spots on her liver. According to the doctor these were normally not malignant and she said they would do a follow up CT scan in a couple of months. Does this seem odd? I mean, shouldn't they biopsy the spots now just to be sure. Her cancer is slow growing, but if these spots were malignant it seems it would be better to know now. If you've had any experience with this disease please respond. This has been very hard to deal with and I need any advice I can get.

The linen cabinet has a brownish, blackish tinge on the shelves, the linen, towels and the floor. While adjusting linen on a top shelf, a swarm of something attacked my hand and forearm. I could not see what hit me, but many small pinlike bumps appeared on my hand and arm. What could this possibly be? Small round knots have come on the back of my head at the hairline. These things came after the incident in the linen closet.

For the past 7 months, I've been having, I guess you could say "heart spazzes". I brought it up woth my doctor and he is completely baffled by what it could be. He didnt give me any medication. He only told me that if it gets worse to call 9-1-1 and go to the emergency room ASAP. Does anyone know what this might be? This is a serious question and I would appreciate it if there would be serious answers to go along with it. I would like to know what the heck is wrong with me...

I was at a strip club last night, and got some "dances" from a woman who pretty much gave me oral through my jeans. I never took "it" out, but she basically did give me oral, and I never took my pants off...is it possible to get anything from that?
