An answer like 10-60% is too vague and unacceptible? Please include the year, if possible.

My wife was diagnosed with Graves Disease a few months ago, which is a thyroid condition. Now she wants out of the marriage and to move away, saying she doesn't love me anymore. I know her hormones are out of balance, but this? Has anyone known someone with this disease that has experienced similar issues?

At least to some significant extent? I'll define "cure" as a 5 year survival rate.

Doctor put me on Glucophage about 6 days ago, since then my sugar levels have come down from 400 to about 290 which is still obviously high. Anyone have any idea how long it takes for it to get your levels around normal? Days. weeks, months?

They have done away with Thimerisol in nearly all other childhood vaccines. If Thimerisol is suspect as a possible cause or contributing factor to the increced incidence of autism - why can't they just do a better job of chilling the MMR and distributing it so it sits on the shelf for a shorter time on average?

When I was a child, my doctor cured my morbilli with coriander. Just now I see a page that says garlic can too.

Is it really ?

Both of my legs have an edema problem. I have just recently been treated for both of my legs because of open sores on both legs. My legs were compresion wrapped for 3 weeks. When I was told I coud remove the wraps, I did so just to find out that now I have Big Red Welts on both legs and Lobster Red Skin. I have never had this problem ever happen before. Eight years ago I had a clot in my left calf. Because of it, I now have the edema (dry skin) in which I have to use dry skin cream (Eucederm) liberally on my legs. The right leg just had the dry skin problem within the last 2 years. The left leg, 10+ years. I am Diabetic which contributes to the problem and poor circulation. Does anyone have a similar problem? How has it been treated. I have to go to the wound clinic at my VA to have the legs treated. It is most frustrating. Any and all help/suggestions are appreciated. Have had to go to the wood clinic for the last 3 years. Have had to be treated with antbiotic 4 times.
