is there a place for ppl W/AID/HIV to register to tell others that they are infected?
should there be one implemented?
would it be a wise thing to do?

I discovered that I cannot tandem walk while at the neurologist's office. This was one of many tests he performed.

Tandem walk is ability to walk with one foot in front of the other, like when the police pull you over and test for drunk driving.

I realize a Doctor would probably have to answer this question but I'm dying to find out why I can't tandem walk.

I live with someone who has been diagnosed with 2 diseases. both have no known cause and no cure. They live on high doses of narcotic pain medications. bed ridden and disabled. having lived a very artistic life, being very popular with many friends and progressed to being alone and confined, dependant on me for everything. I have answered, I will do anything I can for you, but killing someone is not in my moral and ethical being. then have to watch million dollar baby, ain't life sweet?

The first replacement surgery didnt happen as planned. My stenotic bicuspid aortic valve had stopped growing when I was a teen, however, this was unknown at the time of the surgery. The surgen had to put in a rather small mechanical valve. This has since been causing me problems, now another surgen says that he can cut away a piece of the heart to fit a larger mechanical valve. How common is this surgery? Has anyone had this done?

When my cholesterol levels started going up, the doctor recommended taking Simvastatin. I started having nightmares about losing my memory that when I forget things I can't help but blame those statin drugs.

When I got home my blood sugar was 159 which really surprised me and now a half hour later it's 215. What is going on? I really had a good workout, I walked at a constant brisk pace. I know this question has been asked before, but I never paid attention because this has never happened to me before. I'm freaking out.

Question:

a) What is an operable tumour?

b) What is an inoperable tumour?

c) A tumour must have a blood supply - is it by way of capilliaries or veins?

d) How do secondries occur, which seems to happen a lot after operating?

e) If the blood supply is cut off before tumour is removed, can cancer cells still enter the blood supply to cause these secondries?

I dont have a tumour, but I have tried to research on the net and I need a straightforward explanatation in simple English.

I have kind of bad allergies, and the doctor has seen my throat before but I don't know if he is any good because he usually doesn't look at my throat when I see him for allergies. I have had the bumps for years. They are not small, and they are red...I don't know if it's my allergies, if its normal, or if its time for a new doc. Thanks. I am not looking for a diagnosis, just is this normal?

I've been diagnosed with Osgood Schlatter Disease, which is a condition of a knee tendant that appears in athletic adolescents. I hate to admit it to anyone, including myself, but I'm scared. Does anyone have any advice for me? I know a bit about it, but still. Any body else have Osgood Schlatter, too?
