Usually when I get an antibotic (which isn't very often) it is for 10 days. Everyone else I know gets it for 10 days. I'm not sure about this doctor anyways. He put dirty things back in his drawer. I'm suppost to go back in 10 days for him to relook at my boil but I'm going to switch doctors. Should I be conserned that he only gave me 10 days of this med?

What kind of pump do you use? Do you love it or hate it?

I use a Minimed 508. It's the same one I got when I went on the pump 6 years ago. It works great and I see no reason to change. Besides, I'm used to this one and I know it inside out. I was on it for 2 years and then off it for 4. I'm now back on it. Aside from a few scratches on the front, it's in great shape.

Opinions?

Hi all you well informed people. My new fella has a pectin allergy, which i take to mean he can't eat citrus fruits.... but someone has also set the seed now that it can have a link to peanut allergy as well.

Does anyone know about this type of allergy? I don't want to bore him by asking him again.... I don't think he's 100% sure of all the ins and outs! Thanks.

I am seriously concerned about the responses I received from this forum. I was looking for help on how to handle this crisis for my husband and instead I got that I am killing my husband or that my children will be taken from me. I have done everything humanly possible to help him, my family has tried to force him to go to the ER, I have called his doctors and begged for help, if I try to help him he gets more angry, I don't understand why I'm the cause of this from the way the responses sound, HE has decided it's not worth it to him to take the meds, he thinks he's invinceable, last night he went and bought himself 2 honeybuns smothered in chocolate and drank 3rootbeers in less than 10 min. w/ his sugar levels over 600, I asked him why with the shape he is in and he says because he's an adult & can..so am I a killer because I can't get him to go to the ER or take care of himself. I was looking for support, I needed help, but instead I got crucified.

the opitician said my friend had a shadow around the macula in his eye,but had to look up his notes to see if it was there at his last app.while he was waiting he went to see his dr. who sent him to casualty, the dr. there said it was a" dried haemorrage" and may have been there since birth,and that it was no harm.his eyesight is ok and he has clear vision.also the optician got back to my friend and told him that it was not there before,but was making an app. for him to see an opthalmic surgeon to reassure him.he lifts weights and cycles.he also uses "cleo "on his face.has any one any information about this ,as he is very nervous that he has damaged his eye.

I feel so dirty and now he wants nothing to do with me, he wont kiss me, he wont touch me and to top it off, im 31 wks pregnant.

I got Diarrhoea at 11pm last night, and I want to know whether it was the pistachios that I ate at 6pm, or the warm egg salad sandwich that I had at 3pm. Or indeed the curry I had had the previous evening.
Roughly how long will dodgy food take to go through the system? This will help me work out what was the cause, and help prevent a repeat.

Thanks

I would like to hear similar stories with people who had it. Like what were the effects......the treatments? Will my baby be ok? Did you have your baby early? Did you take insulin shots?

please inform me. I'm nervous about it.

I'm only 25 but I've been feeling alot of stress this week. I've been having heart palpatations and a "heavy" or "tension" feeling in my chest, upper back, and left shoulder, and sometimes upper left arm as well. I've been trying to relax. also sometimes when I breathe my chest feels a little tight or constricted.

How serious are these symptoms? They are not quite as bad as they were yesterday. Should I just try some exercise today?

My Son Was Biten By A Stray Kitten.?
It punctured the heel of his hand. I called his doc and they said he needed another tecnis shot and to take antibiotics for 10 days. Also we have to keep the kitten that he caught for 10 days to watch how it acts before we can give it over to animal control (by the way animal control had been contacted twice to pick up these animals but has never kept their word).
So he had the shot yesterday, today he is in a lot of pain from that arm. Is this normal? I was just checking here because it is so early in the morning and the doc office hasn't opened. So all you that are concerned, don't worry I am calling a professional as soon as I can.
