Hi all, I am asking this question on behalf of my mother, she had breast cancer, then she had an operation and then radiation so the cancer is all gone (Not sure if that's worded properly), anyhow, she must take tamoxifen to prevent the recurrence of the cancer.

We live in San Francisco but we are currently in rural Sabah, Malaysia, you can only get a months worth of the drug (30 days) but we have been here for 25 days and will be here for another 9 days. She currently has 5 pills, and you are supposed to take one each day. Is she in danger if she takes them all for the next 5 days and has a 4 day break? Also, how should she take them? One every other day? Every day until runs out? Etc..

(Also, the original plan to deal with this was that my father would come and meet us and bring with him another month's worth, but he couldn't make it)

So please help!!!

Thanks a lot,

Chris

i am a 25 years old male,normal weight and tall with MVP (Mitral Valve Prolapse).i started having irregular heartbeat at the age17. my doctor gave me propananol tablets and it worked for the time.i usually have anxiety and stress.i do checkup every year and doctor says i don't need any special diet or treatment.i get a terrible palpitation during or after sex once in a while.if you have MVP you must be familiar with the condition.
do you suggest any precaution or have you tried any medicine which worked on you so i can try it too?
thank you:)

Is this very uncommon. Could it be due to severe stress?? She coughs all the time, and she throws up often from coughing. She's not losing a lot of weight though. But it's been going on for a few months now, i'm really worried and didn't know where else to look, any thoughts would be appreciated!

I read that cooking with Splenda will dry out cake/cookie recipes because real sugar helps retain moisture. Does anyone know (from experience) a good way to adjust the recipe to keep it from drying out when I substitute Splenda for sugar?

I just turned 24 a few weeks back, I just recently had a pain or tenderness coming from one of my testicles. I did not get punched or kicked. My girlfriend has been out of town for 2 weeks, so I have had no sexual activity (not sure if that would affect it). I did an examination and felt a little "bump" where the tenderness is coming from. It is also coming from the area where the vas deferent meet the testicles.
6 months ago I was hit by a car (ex girlfreind) and was hospitalized for a month, I had health insurance through my previous employer, but due to the accident I lost that job as well as my benefits. I am worried that if I go get it checked out i'm going to get billed and if there is something wrong I am going to get declined when trying to get new insurance due to the MIB check. Its the typical scenario that many Americans face with our health care system.
Any advice or suggestions or if you have had some issue like this please chime in.

I've looked up a ton of different things but nothing seems right. I crave ice and blood (I'm not kidding. I'm starting to feel like a vampire or something.) and I can never hold still. I've had sleeping problems and lately have been having nosebleeds. I get musle spazms a lot as well, by the way. WTF? What is wrong with me?

my doctor told me the virus hpv will probably clear on its own. she said that most women come back for a pap smear in a year or two and they show no traces. is this true because ive heard about of people say it never goes away...

I'm 18 and when I press in between my eyes, it makes a really weird clicking, squelching noise, and my ears hurt and throat hurt at the time. I went to an allergist and they did the scratch test on me, nothing came up, even the one that is supposed to! They said my skin doesn't react to it, so I had to have a blood test. Well I havn't gotten the results yet in the meantime, I am feeling horrible. It really bothers me when it happens, which is usually at night time. Even when someone is sitting near me, they can hear it themselves, so it's not in my head! Is there anything I can do to relieve this, and does this even sound like allergies? Thanks, everyone :)
