my wife uses a cpap machine but keeps taking it off because she says it freezes her lips. The heat is adjusted as high as it will go and it is set on 9 for airflow. I think the flow is too high and the cold is caused by windchill. any suggestions.

I am making a flyer for a fundraiser. I am a Mary Kay beauty consultant.. and with October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month we are giving free facials to woman and then they will be ordering products. 50% of the proceeds will go to the Mary Kay Cancer fund. Anyways I am trying to think of an inspirational quote to put at the bottom of my flyer... any ideas?

This information needs to be credible, not just something you found on the internet. So if you are not a medical professional who has studied autism like I have them please don't waste your time.

Thanks!!

Lately, I have noticed that I keep smelling this strange scent, which at first seemed to be coming from my hands, but then I realized that I smelled it on other things too, not on my body. It is a pretty indescribable smell, but it basically smells dirty or grimy. The only other symptoms I have had with this are a strange pulsating sensation in my left ear and some pain behind my left eye/nose. What could this be a sign of?

I washed some rice two days ago and realized I washed too much so I removed a cup of it and set it aside. I was going to cook it today but made something else so a few minutes ago, I was wondering if the damp rice is still good so I stuck my head down near the rice and took a deep breath-to smell it but -to my surprise some rice grains went up in my nostrils. Now I don't think they all came out. So what shall I do? Will the rice swell while I'm sleeping? Should I go to the hospital emergency? Will it just work its way out while I sleep? I've tried blowing and using a suction thing but nothing works. Are an adults nostrils big enough that this is no big deal? This is a serious question. TY

In the beginning of my pregnancy, I had an abnormal pap smear. My OBGYN gave me a colposcopy and told me I have HPV. She explained about cervical cancer, etc, but I'm still not too clear on this. Is HPV a sexually transmitted disease? How did I get it? Can I spread it?

Alright, I have to urinate at least once every half hour. I think something is wrong with my kidneys but I went to the doctor and they couldn't find anything. Is there anything I can do so that I at least don't have to go all the time during class? Its really ridiculous cuz I have to leave like twice every class. It isn't diabetes though, because I had a urine sample.

It can happen even with a glass of water, and I feel my throat by the windpipe seize up - it goes to swallow it, then locks. I tend to have to spit it out, can't even swallow saliva until it clears, and eventually the passage releases, and whatever was there either goes down, or has to come up. Last time it froze, was shut for hours, and couldn't eat or drink, hard to breathe. Any ideas? Tried Dr's / Barium meals etc...

Do you have any reactions from the treatment. Like being tired, or anything else?

my boyfriend's doctor just called and told him he needed to come back into the office because his blood test results had showed "high thyroid levels". he had gone in to do standard blood screening for an annual physical. they would not give him any other information about what that means or what he should expect during his next doctor visit. can anyone give us any guidance?

Have had CT and MRI with contrast and normal. Seen Opthomologist and Neurologist and they don't know, had eyes tested 3 times and all norm. My doctor thinks its depression, l know l have depression but l have suffered depression longer than symptoms. Symptoms are like a blur with lightning strikes constantly. Have headaches sometimes but they go away, and flashes remain. All the time even when l close my eyes l can see them. No one will listen what else can l do to convince them this is real.
