My allergist told me to use soy milk instead of regular milk. I seemed to have some allergies to that. But I think I have worse
ones with soy. Just wondering if anyone else has had any kind
of reactions.

I find it difficult falling asleep during the day or at night if my roomate ( i live in a dorm room) is up..even if she is quiet. I also wake up as soon as she gets off the bed in the morning. (im really sensitive to movements while sleeping). Can anyone give me some hints on how to sleep more deeply..without taking medicine. Ear plugs or blind folds dont work...its not the noise but the persons presence that wakes me up as im a light sleeper.

I'm 28 and know I already have at least one type of HPV, however would like to be protected against types I may not have.

I asked my uncle, a pharmacist, this question and he said I shouldn't worry about it because I've probably already been exposed to the types of the virus covered and fought them off, causing immunity to them. He said that that's why it isn't really pushed (or so far approved) for women over 26.

Personally, I don't see why not. The CDC says I may not get the full benefit, but can benefit and there's no way to know.

I'm 26 years old and I participate in drug studies for a living and recently got rejected from one because my hemoglobin and hemotocrit were too low. My HDL cholesterol was too low as well. I'm thinking this is because I'm a recent vegetarian... its been about 5 months since I've stopped eating animal flesh. Otherwise, I'm healthy. I don't smoke and my BMI is a low 19.

Since getting rejected, I've started taking a multivitamin with iron, started drinking one glass of red wine each night (to help increase my HDL) and started exercising every day as well. Any thoughts on what else I could be doing that I'm not already? I want to screen for another study in a week or so.

acid reflux, I also have asthma that is affected by the fact that I have the disease Fibromyalga. Everyday I take 10 different prescriptions usually 2-3 a day. They shoot Steoroids in my hip and back and now I am on oral steroids. Needless to say I look like the staypuff marshmellow man. I have ballooned up 80 pounds since all this started and I am very upset about it. My question is. Why is it worth it? I have no quality of life at all. I am turning 35 tomorrow and have to little boys age 8 and 11 and my 8 year old tells me daily he knows I am fat but it'll be okay. Somebody help, because my future ex husband says suck it up.

I have been told by the optician that my eyes are OK. The GP did not even look but said I was to be sure I had a good optician and said none of the loacl ones were any good.


What I get is, about 2 to 5am, a pain in the eye ball and a lot of sticky liquid comes out that is colourless. Once this has come out it is better and not painful.

Often I get the bottom of the eye painful and it is as if I am crying. The eyes are not bloodshot either. The eye ducts are not blocked and there is no infection.

Is this eye strain from the computer?

I have always worn glasses and they are the right prescription. The eyes are OK in-between these episodes.

any help welcome. can anyone shed any light on this? What can I do about it?

Last week I developed a cyst with some pus filled up. I had to go to a surgeon on Monday to get it lanced and drained out. Since then the D. told me to use gauze everytime I use the bathroom and the gauze will help get rid of more pus and all that has to come out. I am feeling alot better from all that pain that I had before the drainage. But everytime I put gauze on my cut, it sticks to the cut and then when I need to go to the bathroom, it hurts so bad when I try to pull the gauze off from my cut. Is there anything that I can apply on the gauze so that it does not get stuck to my cut? As long as the pus is coming out, that's why I have the gauze on there, but I dont need the gauze to be stuck and hurt so bad when I go to pull it out? Anyone know if possibly wetting the gauze a little, or putting some neosporin ointment on the gauze will prevent it from sticking to my wound? Any suggestions, please advise!

Here's my situation and I would appreciate any informed advice or answers about this:

I suffer from a number of health conditions, but I get infusions of Remicade every six weeks for psoriatic arthritis.

Over 3 months ago I became very ill with pneumonia, probably as a result of the immune system taking a hit from the Remicade. Right before I became ill I noted a swollen neck gland and it didn't go away through three rounds of very strong antibiotics.

My family has a high incidence of leukemia and lymphoma history.

I've been scheduled for a CT scan of the lymph node, but I haven't had it done yet. Scared of the results I guess. I've been unusually tired and lack energy, when normally I'm a very energetic person. Yesterday I could tell I am getting sick again, but it doesn't seem to be respiratory. It's a low grade fever that comes and goes and my arthritis has flared up hugely, despite the usual good results I get from the Remicade.

Thoughts?

This thing happens to me about once every few months. I find myself lying in my bed with my eyes open, staring at the ceiling or at my alarm clock. I try to move my head, arms, etc. but I just can't. Nothing moves. I feel like my body is still asleep but my mind is wide awake. I usually have really odd thoughts--the last time it happened, I kept thinking that there were invisble people around my head, whispering to me--whenever this happens to me. When I do wake up out of this weird state, my heart is usually racing.

There's a specific name for this, but I've only heard it once or twice and I can't find it on the internet. It may start with a "C."
