I take Humalog insulin. This insulin claims to start working within 15 minutes of injection. When I eat breakfast, I inject the recommended amount, but it takes up to 3 hrs for the insulin to start working, resulting in a spike in my blood sugar. Other meals during the day, the insulin seems to work OK (begins to take effect within 15 min). This may seem like a really technical question, but I've not received an answer yet, so i'll try yahoo.

treatment being the focal point of the community? If a given amount of people with OCD in a given area donates money over an extended period of time to build this community and hospital (who's main purpose is routine brain scanning to determine if certain medications are doing the job or not without waiting 3 weeks to find out. A school for sufferers and people determined to find a cure alike can attend to develop new ways of thinking about the disorder. Who else but a sufferer would want to find a cure more? I feel fed up with therapy and pills that make me sick. I want to actually look in my brain and see whats going wrong, but I can't afford it. All of us with OCD should try to take matters in our own hands a little and build a place where we definately won't feel alone. The continual money we put into it would definately keep it running and I'm sure help a ton of people. I'm going to start putting money away for it. What do you guys think?

When a friend moved in, we locked him in my room while we unloaded the truck. Since then, he won't come in my room. We figured he just associated my room with that scary day. Well, now he won't go into the kitchen. That’s where is food bowls have been since we moved in and then all of the sudden, he just won’t go in there. Not even for a Greenie treat! He howled and howled the next morning to be fed. my friend put his food in his bowl and he just wouldn’t come in. If we pick him up and put him back there, he gets really low and would take a few licks while watching over into the corner behind the stove. We thought he might be afraid of the mop that stayed back there so we moved it. No change. I mopped the entire house with it yesterday and he didn’t pay it any attention. We’ve had to move his bowls in the dining room, where he will eat then. He'll stay in the hall and hiss at the pantry. Rest of the behavior is normal. Any idea what is going on in his little cat brain?

I have noticed a lot of mucus in my stools. Also, I am having issues with needing to urinate VERY frequently and a feeling of 'fullness' in my bladder/rectal area all the time. I am 39 years, female. I am a little concerned about a tumor in that area causing both problems. What doctor should I see?

I don't want to go to a family physician and *then* to a specialist because I have to pay the bills myself (we only have catastrophic insurance) so going to numerous doctors gets very costly. I'd like to pick the best type of doctor right off the bat and go see that type first, to help keep my out of pocket costs down.

Do I go see a Urologist? or a Colorectal Specialist? Or an OB/GYN? Which one is best suited for these symptoms?

I was curious about a possible allergy to Anticoagulants. I tried to donate plasma at the local red cross, and during the process I got extremely cold and started shaking. They stopped the process. The supervisor who talked to me after said its possible allergy to Anticoagulants or lack of calcium possibly. At that time I had very little calcium in my diet, and now its much better. I would like to register as a bone marrow donor or do other donation methods besides whole blood. Is there a way to test if the allergy is what caused the reaction a few years ago, or if anyone has any other insight in the matter.

Thanks
Steve
