This is his first ever test (using a One-Touch UltraSmart Test Kit)...He's been feeling sick and it seemed to be diabetes. The numbers came up 226. He is extremely resistant to the idea of an ER (he is an adult). What can be done to monitor him and improve his levels here at home until he can see his doctor in a few days?

I have read that your thyroid level can be in the "normal" range and still be to low for your body. Does anyone know anything about this? I have talked to my doctor, but am not getting anywhere. The lowest level in his reference range is 0.3, mine is 0.4. Could a thyroid supplement help?

She has had Alzhiemers for several years now...and is now is the in last stage of the disease... my mother whom is the youngest of 8 children promised my grandfather before he died that she wouldn't put her into a nursing home until she absolutly had to. my grandmother has lived with us now for 4-6 months and she has gradually just gotten worse .. and for us its almost like she's more of a burden than anything... and that's a terrible feeling.. well tonight she got out of her bed and stood by the door took off her "brief" and put it in the trash... then proceeded to urinate on the floor in her room... for me this is the last straw... I am 18 weeks pregnant and am in no way emotionally prepared to deal with the many aspects of her disease and my pregnancy as well... so my question is this do u think that putting her in a nursing home is wrong or like breaking the promise we made to my grandpa?

No one knows what I do,not my family,kids,or my husband! They would all hate me and I work so hard to please and take care of them! I take them because they make me keep a clean house quicker and more efficiently,I have tons of energy to play with the kids and knock out daily chores in no time.They make me more social when normally I would make an excuse not to meet new people. Since i have been on them i feel that im in the lime light of the town.But i run out last friday and have been going through horrible side affects! I went to the er,but there are only a couple local clinics,and they were all full!I have to wait to get into 1 2morrow,I feel so bad,almost as if im going to die! What should i do?I finally broke down and told my husband,he is very pissed off at me and disappointed,screaming at me saying i did this my self and i should pay every price that comes with it! I apologized over & over,but its not good enough!Please someone give me some ideas or help!!!

I'm a 44 yo male, a litte over weight, doesn't drink much, and doesn't smoke. I had a stress echo 2 years ago and everything was reported as being clean, but I've had some tightness in my chest and thought it was from my cpap machine, which I use for sleep apnea. Family Dr did an ekg and compared it to one he did 2 years ago and said there were some changes and he thinks he sees something that suggests ischemia. I don't have tightness all the time, just once in a while, mostly in the morning, I work out and don't get winded, unless its a strenous workout. I eat mostly proteins and fruits and veggies, and take flax seed and fish oil pills everyday along with my blood pressure pill (verapomil) I just don't understand how there could be a narrowing in 2 years?

Everyone has some bullsh*t idea about something that causes cancer!! Where are people getting their info from, Today Tonight? Examples, just from this site today are hair dye, fake tan, and deodorant. Have a think about it, ppl! If these common items caused cancer, girls, the fresh-smelling, and the tanned would have no hope. Does anyone else think that this is one of the more hypochondriac and annoying trends??

Abraham is being Forced to take Chemo Therapy against his will.

Perhaps you have heard about this story on the news.

Do the reprocussions of this worry you?

If the Government can force Abraham to take Chemo Therapy instead of respecting his right to explore alternatives to chemo Against His will and the will of his parents...

Do you think they could force any of the rest of us to take, against our will...

Birth Control?
Mind altering drugs?
Pills to terminate our life?
Others?

What do you think?

I have a heart murmur, and I can't take any diet supplements that increase your heart rate. Basically, that means that I shouldn't be taking diet pills or energy drinks. I don't know, I think that it may have something to do with the caffeine. Anyways, I began drinking Slim-Fast, but isn't that stuff natural? That won't make my heart go all weird, will it?
If anyone can help me out, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks.
