Because of her freelancing work nature, my mom is ineligible for state medical benefits (NY), because she earns too much money, yet she cannot afford to pay her own health insurance. She needs treatment, chemotherapy most likely. I know a hospital cant deny her service at the emergency center, but I don't know if she can do that for her chemo treatments. She needs some sort of ongoing therapy and monitoring. What can we do? I feel like were trapped, too rich to get stateside help and too poor to pay on our own. Please, any advice would be helpful. Thank you all.

I've been passing stones for many years now, all different sizes and shapes. Last week I had an attack, my gf took me to the hospital where they told me I had 2 stones. I managed to pass one there after a few hours, I have passed stones bigger than that, but it was jagged. The other stone took 3 days to pass and was much larger. It was the biggest stone I've ever passed before, it was difficult to urinate out which then I had to push it through my urethra & the pain was horrible! It got to the end of my penis & then it got stuck. I was damn near crying from the pain at that point. Finally one hard push, I screamed and it came out & bounced out of the strainer and on to the floor. I wasnt sure if I was passing a golf ball or if it really was a kidney stone until it came out. My gf came into the bathroom, I showed her the stone, she said, "its a girl!" Wait until she goes through childbirth, she'll see. Have any other men had this happen?

I snore terribly and have gone thru tests and apparently I have Sleep Apnea. I've been given this horendous machine that makes me feel like Darth Vader to help me "breathe" properly at night, but I can't cuddle with hubby or relax or move for that matter? Is it worth using it? I truly despise the thing.

I have a node of Heberdine on my middle finger and it hurts, hurts, hurts. Its big and now it has a red dot in the center of it. It is inflamed and red. Isn't there some type of surgery that can be performed to take it off? I bang it alot and it's getting harder and harder to write, holding a pen is painful., and I do quite a bit of writing.

My dad was diagnosed with Wegeners granulomatosis vasculitis about 4 1/2 years ago at that time he was given 6mth to a year to live thankfully God has blessed us and he is still with us but he is still battleing this disease to this day he has never went into remission it took his kidneys shortly after his diagnosis and he has been on dialysis since it has moved into his lungs but so far they have been able to keep that part of it somewhat in control and we think it may have moved into his sinuses recently he has such a hard time with this disease and has pretty much been given a death sentence by the doctor twice once in the begining and again about a year later but he has kept fighting and is still here he is still on chemo but the last time when it was time to start chemo again the doctor was wanting to back off from it which is very scary i would like to hear others experience with this good or bad you dont have to spare me i already know its an ugly thing to deal with -thank you!!

I had no food allergies growing up (I'm now 27), but yesterday and today I had a reaction from something in my Chicken Salad. The reaction was worse the second day. I took Benadryl and it helped. If I have developed a new allergy, how do i find out what I'm specifically allergic to? Any input would be appreciated

I know this isn't a question. Delete me if you want. But I have information about questions that have already been answered. I am trying desperately to get this information out to people who are facing a surgery that isn't very likely to be effective.

I was dating this guy for sometime & we finally had consensual sex. He didnt have any condoms but I did & I gave it to him & he put it on. In the "middle" of it all he "stopped" for what appeared to be a split second then continued & we were done. As we lay there I asked him if he wanted me to move so he could go "dispose" off the condom but he told me ever so non chalantly.."oh I took it off... I told you I didnt care for condoms & anyways I'm clean..." I was shocked & infuriated that he took it upon himself to take off the condom & "go bare". I called my doctor the next day & set up an appointment to get tested for any & all STD's. A couple of tests later my Dr. informed me I had HPV. I'm mad as hell & hurt.. I never got to talk to him again (not that I wanted to) but it bothers me to this day that someone could have done this to me. I dont trust men anymore & I'm scared of having sex. What could I/should I have done? I still want him to pay for what he did to me! Any suggestions?

Our church was looking at putting in a new floor and when we brought contractors in to give estimates they told us that the old floor was put down using asbestos floor glue. Now we have heard two different stories from two different contractors. One says we should remove it the other says we don't have to.

Somebody who is in an accident, say a car accident, and is paralyzed from the waist down... how long on average, are you likely to be in the hospital? Does anybody know of a website where I can get more information on this kind of paralysis, how they can get around, what they need assistance with, medical attention, etc.?

Every few days a week, I have these crashes in the early afternoon. I eat breakfast every day, but around lunch time, I get fatigued, irritable and weak, sometimes dizzy. I eat, and then I feel better. (I eat soup or a hardy, healthy lunch and feel better.) Could this be diabetes, or just my diet? I used to eat a lot of sugar, and recently I've cut down a bit, could this be the cause?
