I'm extremely short-sighted, at a relatively young age. While I realize some macular-degeneration is probably inevitable with aging, how to I improve my eye-sight, or maintain my current eye-sight? Are there proven exercises? (Answer with link will get my 10 points.)

I never miss work except to go to dcotor appt.s. I have diabetes and high blood pressure and my doctors keep an eye on me by having me come in for blood work, or medictaion adjustments, and things of that nature. I also happen to be taking a family vacation, for 7 days, in the middle of this month. (I had the vacay planned before I even started this job, which was about 4 months ago.) I have an appt today with a nutritionest, now work told me I can't take any more time off than I already have because people will "notice" and start to "complain." So I had to cancel my appt. I don't think this is fair. It's not like I am taking the time off to goof around, and it's not as if I have been calling in sick. Isn't there any legal rights I have in regards to this? I have my review coming up soon and I know they are going to bring up that I have too many doctor appts (I have about 3 a month) I want to be able to give them an educated response. I make the apps for at lunch or the end of the day.

As a kid I was always told to keep warm or I'd catch a cold. However, I catch colds in the summer just as often as the winter. Does being cold have anything to do with becoming susceptible to a whole range of viruses we call "the cold"? Or is it just another dearly held myth?

Right now, my dad has been diagnosed with a-fib for a few years. They have ran quite a few tests and are finding the cause. Instead, the doctors have been prescribing medication which has been progressively increased over time which now has caused an indigestion problem.

For the past few years, he has not only faced this health problem but other stressful events that are mentally stressful than physically stressful. He can perform physical work fine, but when he falls for some reason, his heart goes out of sync, but he is also thinking about the effect of what is hurt and not being able to be with his friends later.

For example if Benadryl isn't cutting it, can you take a Claritin or visa versa?

Source would be good on this.

I actually have a couple of questions...

First, What is the difference in taking 300 milligrams of Isoniazid once each day from taking 900 milligrams twice a week? I'm also on 100 or 150 milligrams of Vitamin B6.

Second, I'm not looking for websites, I'm looking for personal experience. Has anyone that has had to take Isoniazid had any adverse side effects? If so, what kind? Please only personal experience.
