I have an early diagnosis so long term outcome looks good but I want to do what I can on a daily basis, outside of Dr.'s help.

I have been a Type 1 Diabetic for over 18 years. I have two questions here.
1) for the past 2 years i have been on more and more insulin, put on over 25 lbs, am always in a fog and constantly tired; and my blood sugars are on a constant roller coaster. Do you think i may be suffering from insulin resistance? I looked it up online, and all the symptoms explain exactly what i am going through. Any suggestions on how to help this? I changed my diet to more protein over 3 months ago once i figured what may be going on, and my blood sugars are still a mess and i am still on tons of insulin. Do i maybe need some medication to control this? I also exercise at least 5 times a week ::i walk/jog:: and i do not see any improvements.

and 2) Like i said earlier i pout on over 25 lbs in 2 years, and no matter how hard i exercise it will not budge. I job and do sit ups and my stomach is still flabby...any suggestions to lose this extra buldge?

My sister who's been married almost 20 yrs - loving & strictly monogamous couple. She's never been w/any other man but he was w/ 1 other woman before her - 3 years before. Earlier this year, her papsmear had no abnormalities but detected HPV (high-risk ones). Of course, she was depressed after that; she thinks it could ruin her health & life. Anyway, she took 2 more tests after & the HPV tests were negative.
We read info from internet, asked her dr, but really did not find the right answers. Here are our ?s:
1) Is that possible that the HPV was dormant for years in her or his body? How could it just appear all of a sudden? The virus will not be passed back & forth between them, right?
2) If her tests came back negative - does that mean she's immune to that type of virus & she's just a carrier? Will it reappear next time, depending on her health? She is healthy - exercises regularly, eating right, & worry-free.
3) If it does reappear, will it be worse? develop into cancer?

If you had an organ that was working perfectly except the fact that you have a reaction to Citrus Fruits. If that organ went to someone else would they have the same reaction??

My daughter was taken to Univ. Hospital, Syracuse,N.Y. last Oct. and was tested and told she had TM, since then diagnosis is MS. She is dealing with student doctors,and always ends up with new people. She needs the attention of experienced MS doctors. She has extreme burning in her legs, impaired vision, heavy numb feeling (or lack of feeling) from rib cage to toes. No bladder or colon control. She is willing to be part of a research project. I need to get her help now. Do we have to have physician referral?

Latest cold (virus) in England is notable for the sneezing fits it causes. I expect it is highly contagious. Usual stuff on itchy eyes, sore throat (for the first two days) and snot runnig down my throat and waking me up. Best answer would be ideas to relieve the symptoms.

I've got this lump on my neck, it's inside, but it's big enough for me to feel it without having to pressing my fingers down. I've had it for a quite a while. First I ignored it, but now it got worse. The lump's not painful, but sometimes it's difficult for me to breathe. Every morning I wake up and I feels like something's stuck in side my throat. I feel sick and wants to throw up all the time. I told my parents about it, but they said it's nothing to worry about and told me to stop complaining about it. Can someone please help me?

The red and yellow sections.I have had fourteen lazer treatments to remove it.The surgen and I have found that the ink used in tatoos is the same thing they use in car paint. there are 13 metals amoung many other chemicals used.regulated by the cosmedic not FDA.So you are not told what danger you are in. They do not have to tell you.It make take five years for a reaction. You may not get a reaction.It is in your body forever.what we worry about is the young woman having them put on thier lower backs. will it make three armed babies?
