My sister is an alcoholic. She's been admitted numerous times to the ER. My mom finally got a copy of her blood work. Her liver function was not in normal range. Her ALT was 107 and her AST was 212. POLYS was 90?? I have no idea what these numbers mean. Are the liver numbers accurate? Is her liver shutting down? Or is this just a false reading since she recently consumed alcohol.

Banned together to tackle one problem at a time.
Cancer, AIDS
There would be hundreds of intelligent people all focusing on one problem trying new things until there was a solution
Only problem would be how would you figure which problem to tackle first. How can you say this social issue or disease is more important than another?

I'm normally the kind of college student that gets 6 hours a night, and thats enough, and 7 is a great nights sleep. Within the last few nights I have been unable to wake myself up before 10:00 am. This included going to be around 11:00 pm. So I'm sleeping close to 11 Hours a night. My sleeping environment hasnt changed at all. My only concern is that it isnt even an issue of self discipline, as my alarm went off this morning I was unable to turn it off. I was messing around with button on top instead of the side(Have had the clock for over 4 years). When my cell phone vibrated and woke me up, I got up to turn off my alarm clock!

Any Expanations?

Just kidding. Don't get mad. Anyways...I have been having a sore throat for about a week now. It hasn't been all that bad, mostly hurting only in the mornings and at night. Today it hurts a little worse, but I still hadn't thought anything of it. Anyways, one of my wisdom teeth are coming in and it was hurting me, so I looked at it in the mirror, and instead noticed a big white bump on one of my tonsils. I figure this is the beginning of some kind of "itis". Any ideas? (I would just go to the doctor, but I am broke, and I don't think it's really all that big of a deal.) Thanks!

My older brother was a smart guy. Brilliant, actually. He has two advanced degrees and speaks four languages. When he got two DUIs during college and then grad school, we were concerned but didn't think alcohol and drugs would take over his entire life. That was ten years ago. Today, he cannot hold a job and literally cannot function without alcohol in his system. He went through detox last year and went into cardiac arrest. He has been in and out of rehab, and in and out of hospitals. Which is where he ended up late last night, beaten severely with a baseball bat. I could go on forever detailing the ways in which he has destroyed my family's lives. But my question is this: is there ever a point at which you should wash your hands of a relative who doesn't want to save himself?

The only thing I can think of is I was doing handstands last night...but I used to be a gymnast. So i dont know if that has anything to do with it. Does anyone know what this is and what caused it? They dont hurt.

Something should be done to identify these people in society, as There are some rogues out there actively passing death around, with no regard for others.

May I suggest a murder conviction, under law, for anyone proved to have knowningly infected someone? And their name in a publicly available database, or tattoo on their forehead or something?

Because it is death sentence, be it 10yrs away or not....

He had an operation to remove bowel cancer a little over a week ago, however they have now discovered some more growth on his liver, which they are going to remove and he will have chemo too, this sounds bad, what do you think? Isnt it really bad if cancer spreads to the liver? we are really worried.
