When my baby turned 1 we tried milk. He broke out in red welts where the milk had splashed out of the cup and touched his skin, then he started with the cough, and then trouble breathing. At the hospital the whites of his eyes turned completely pink (looked like pink eye). Within an hour he was back to normal (just a little watery eye). The doctor suspects he might have astma (lot's of weezing). I started watching what he eats, he weezes within hours of eating things with milk in it (cereal bars, crackers, etc). Has anyone ever seen this or went through it, the doctor says he might out grow it. All milk allergy articles I've found don't show these symptoms?

After years of smoking, fast food, and truck loads of alchohol at only age 36. (with plenty of excercise in between though) I have decided to get this cardiac perfusion test done. But this is what freaks me out.
This "nuclear tracer" they inject into your bloodstream introvenously that swirls around for a couple of hours so they can trace where it goes.

My question is.. how the heck do they get it out? Does it come out? And I really don't feel like putting something nuclear into my body. Although I've been doing it for years with processed food and ciggarettes lol :)

Has anyone had any adverse effects from this.. short term or long term?

How do they get that Nuclear tracer out of you? And if they do get it out of you.. how do they KNOW FOR SURE, that it is OUT of you??

I work in a small office and we have a new girl who is clearly anorexic. She is sickly skinny and hasn't eaten at work in 3 weeks (full 8 hour days). I am worried about her health and her work performance, I think she has some good work qualities but something is off w/ her social interaction . My boss and I have no idea if this is something we need to ignore (because of boundaries) or say something about. We wouldn't even know what to say. Does anyone out there have any experiences with this that might shed some light on what to do. It is hard because she is so new and I like her but I don't feel comfortable with her yet and I dont want to hurt her feelings or make her uncomfortable at work.

I have breast cancer (stage 3, invasive). Had the surgery, radiation, and done the chemotherapy (4 rounds AC, 4 rounds taxotere, 18 hercepten ~ I have 5 more herceptin treatments to go). My markers are coming down, slowly but surely. I'm over weight, but not that much. I don't have a family history of diabetes, and have recently been diagnosed with diabetes.

The tests so far have indicated that my pacreas is not making enough insulin. My diet does NOT contain a lot of carbs or sugars, and in fact since I was diagnosed with cancer, my diet has included a lot of organic foods (fruit, veggies & organic meat & chicken). I'm also a positive person. I had some weight loss, especially since radiation ended 4 months ago. The symptoms that prompted the tests for elevated blood sugars, was neuropathy in my feet (usually a later effect of diabetes).

Anyone know about the connection between the cancer and the diabetes? Caused by the chemo perhaps? or just wishful thinking?

My sister was diagnosed with a chronic head tumor. It is now become apparent to everyone that we need to prepare for the worse. We were told by her doctors that the best place for her is a hospice center. At the moment I'm about 3,000 miles from her and there's nothing I can do to help.
Can you give me any information on hospice services? Are they good people? Will they take care of her? Any information would be appreciated
