Does anyone have suggestions on how to help the family get through this horrible anger thats left? What is a healthy time line in grieving the ones gone? We lost them one right after another..the longest battle was three years and the shortest was eight months...it just did'nt seem like it would ever stop. Now the young ones are fearful when us adults leave them for any length of time or if we get sick...then they are sure its cancer. Maybe its time to agree that counseling would be best for our situation? How can I help them believe we still have a loving God? Thanks so much...I know I asked alot here but sure could use some advice.

I'm not around anyone who does at all anytime. I wash my hair and switched shampoos and it still smells like cigarette smoke.

My boyfriend is a type one diabetes, we have been together for 3 years and only in the last year have we started to fool around. Last night when i was pleasuring him, he went soft. He says its not me, but it makes me feel ugly and not good enough. i know stress can have something to do with it, but he hasnt been taking care of his diabetes very well. he also smokes cigarettes and drinks occasionally. i was wondering if its a combined thing, or if its something with the diabetes

I am 30 weeks pregnant and I just found out I have gestational diabetes. Ohio Caresource will pay for the blood glucose meter and all supplies. However, I was wondering what type of meter they will pay for. Does anyone know? This is my first time using a glucose meter and I have to check my blood 4 times a day. I am looking for the least painful meter. - thanks.

children with M.E have been found to have measles in their CNS since childhood. In not detecting and treating this viral infection these children will become unwell over a period of time and the bodies immunity will be seriously impaired as a result of these invaders. This will further damage their health as the body will now have lost it's ability to fight off infections. As the CNS weakens due to the proliferation of multiple invading microbes their will now be serious health concerns. These children will have become too ill to do normal tasks and school (If school age) will be too much for them. Symptoms will include; muscle weakness, lethargy; tiredness; headaches, weeping, sore throat, photophobia, inability to stand/ walk. Viral infections when undetected, therefore untreated, will slowly replicate themselves in the body, ravaging tissue until they finally enter the vital organs. This is a catastrophic state for the body as these organs will be unable to function.

There is a sound in my ear --not buzzing but kind of like an engine running and it starts and stops and is fairly quiet (but annoying). It started yesterday. What is this?

I can't sleep at night because it gets really hot in my room, for whatever ******* reason. I have no idea why. It could be because I live in a ******* attic with my mom and step dad, I don't know. Anyways, I have a ceiling fan, a floor fan, and a shitty old air conditioning unit, all on as high as they'll go, and the window is open. Now why is it so freaking hot in my room till 2-4 in the morning? I have these sleeping pills that I've been taking, because my mom told me she doesn't care that it's too hot in my room and I can't sleep, so I've been taking these pills regularly during Summer, and they make me too tired to care how hot it is, but they also knock me out for 10+ hours, and they're not meant to be used as an every-night sleeping medicine. Anyways, I didn't take any last night because I was supposed to go to Driver's Ed today, but I guess that's out the ******* window now. I seriously wanna bash my head against a wall until I'm too retarded to care about anything.

My grandmother, who is at the age of 75 suffered from a heart attack on Monday. This is the 6th day that she has been in the CCU. Her health is improving, but she has developed an edema in her lungs and she now has a breathing tube through her mouth as well as a ventilator. The doctors are not saying much, but they think the heart attack was caused by atherosclerosis. She has a bit of hypertension and high blood sugar, but she takes all her medication. The doctors have put her on insulin as well to monitor it. A stent has been inserted because of the blocked artery. Does anybody know if she will fully recover or if she will have to live with a ventilator her whole life? This is the 6th day in the CCU so how much longer will it take before they take out her tube? Will the fluid in the lungs come back in the future? And my last question; Will she live through this horrible ordeal?

Thanks
