For the last few stools there has been blood and I now need a colonoscopy and just have a few questions about the procedure!!
I have heard the preparation is hideous. Is it really that bad?
Also will I be alseep during the procedure?
If not a sleep will I be able to feel everything happening and will my eyes be open?
Do I have to move around during the procedure?
Will the procedure go fast or slow for me?
Anything else that might help to please!!
Thanks heaps and please answer ASAP it is in 3 days :)

Is there any ethical issues in gene therapy to cure diabetes. This is where they take insulin genes from a donor and inject them into a diabetic so they can produce their own insulin.

This has happened periodically since childhood, but has been happening too much for comfort the past three months. It's only when I'm relaxing, or going to bed.

The only way to describe it is that it feels like I'm not getting the oxygen I need out of the air I'm breating during these "episodes". Once it starts I make an effort to take full, even breaths, but I still feel like I'm not getting much.
Feels like I'm hyperventilating, but with slow breaths instead of fast shallow ones.
Doesn't happen during stress, and I haven't been stressed much at all recently (for a change, lol).

Any ideas on what could be causing this? I'm losing rest over it and it's quite uncomfortable.

They are tiny, not itchy, or changing 'Campbell de Morgan spots'... and have been there for years on my arms/chest/stomach.

Anyone know how to get rid of them? Such as by fasting/cleaning up my diet/detox/skin brushing???

When I'm clean shaven this isn't usually a problem. Once hair starts growing back on my face, the skin on both sides next to my lips starts to itch a little and soon what looks to be a small rash develops. After a while, the skin will dry out and start to flake. I just got done shaving and the rash is still there. It looks like I took a very light red color of lipstick and drew on both sides of my face next to my lips. It doesn't hurt and doesn't itch now that I shaved. I put some lotion on it for now. Any other suggestions?

I had to take a urine test today but I did a few "naughty things" only 2 1/2 days ago. When I found out I had to take a urine test I drank almost 2 full bottles of water and for the sample, it was almost perfectly clear. Can urine tests detect any drugs if the urine test is clear as mine was? Thanks

I've had asthma symptoms my whole life, but they haven't gotten really bad until the last year. I recently began to write down my symptoms. Wheezing and coughing and excessive mucus after being outside, or when I cook. No allergies to animals. Only after being outside for a few hours. My son uses Albuterol with a nebulizer for lung issues (not asthma), so I began to use some of his medicine when I had an attack.

No health insurance ... decided to go to a doctor and pay cash.
I tell him all my sypmtoms and he tells me he will give me antibiotics, it can't possibly be astham, because i would have been diagnosed as a child, or would have had trouble in P.E. in school. I insist that these symptoms are like my Grandmother had (she had asthma). He says, it could be a lung infection. I said, for this long? He said, yes, that happens, and it could also be tuberculosis. He takes an X-ray and a Pulminary Function test. Everything was normal. I had to insist for a puffer. What do you think?

there is a boy about 16 years old and he has this gigantically big unusual acne or pimple on his face between the upper part of his nose and eyes about 1/2 centimeter radius. this thing has been on his face for about two weeks and it would not disappear. he has been putting 10% benzoyl peroxide on it every day and its not growing bigger, but its not shrinking or leaving his face either. this thing is like a huge bump but you dont see black, white or anything in or on the bump like pimples and acne.....he and i dont even know what this is.....what should he do about this? should he keep putting the benzoyl peroxide on it even though its not doing anything (or it might be keeping it from erupting)? we dont know what to do....thank you for your time, and please help him.

good friend came over for the night.....he brought some bud and i was lookin forward to it since i got caught i hadnt smoked in a while. But i had a very high tolerance before hand so i didnt expect to end up like this. He told me it was decent but nothing great..smelled fine and looked pretty nice still. When we started smoking it...it had a very short bland almost nothing taste, burned my throat after awhile (which never happens for me) , and a little later it felt like all the blood was rushing to my head and wanted to explode, i was very paranoid and anxious after. heartbeat wasnt too terribly fast but beating much harder. i thought i had hullicinated a tad when i saw my clock fly at me for a sec lol...but it was a very very heady high.

i looked at it after and found small crystalls and even some traces of like off white specs....seems slighty compressed but breaks apart fine i guess. I dont know but i think it was laced with either hydrocodone, coke, embalming fluid or somethin
