I mean, i think we're fully aware of what it is by now. Don't get me wrong though, it's good that people make it an important issue as many are affected by it, but what about cancers of the prostate and such.

Is this narcolepsy or just boredom? It's not lack of sleep; I sleep enough.

My 16 month old had an echo done 2 weeks but he was sooooo mad and squirmy. Afterwards in the office he said the he was doing great with mild insufficiency and VERY mild stenosis. (bicuspid aortic valve) Then we received the carbon copy of the report that he sent to the regular pediatrician and it had alot of medical jab in it but listed a few times that the study was difficult due to uncooperativeness on my sons part. Could the heart study come out worse since he was agitated, like beating harder etc... I just wonder if his heart is even in better shape then we think...? Please let me know

I went for my normal warfarin blood test yesterday and the lady wrote my weight onto the paper that was being sent. When I asked why, she told me that a record of my weight had to be checked each time I had a blood test since warfarin puts on weight. This explains why I am getting bigger and bigger, but nothing has been said to me about what I can do to prevent it. I cant exercise as my immune system is deteriorating and I can hardly walk. I have cut back on eating even tho I am only a very small eater. Does any one have any suggestions please? I am very annoyed about this.

Recently diagnosed with Crohn's and still being treated for heavy complications after a 3 week hospital stay I am in research mode to learn how I can help my body cope with this disease. I have heard many success stories from people who have adjusted their diet to SCD. Does this really work? Are there any other tested suggestions out there for Crohn's?

My friend is suffering from diabetes and can't afford her meds. She has insurance but even still the medicine is over $275 a month. She is single and is working 2 jobs now just to get by. She is on pills and shots. Is there a program that will help her with the costs even though she has insurance? Also, are there any good alternative meds out there that might be just as affective and safe but don't cost as much? FYI she lives in Texas.
