I have an eating disorder and I have been severly restricting this week. I have never had this problem, usually it is my potassium that is low.

I have Crohn's Disease and Coltis. I'm 15 years old, and i find it extremely difficult to deal with these diseases. The worst part is, is that have to take 12 pills a day, plus iron supplements. I can barely swallow these pills! I've always struggled with taking pills, and i have no choice but to take them. I'm never going to get better if i don't get them down. It takes me literally 15 minutes to swallow 2, and i always gag and feel nausea afterwards. Anyone have any good advice on how to swallow pills easily?! Thanks!

Under what circumstances would a state health department come to someones home and burn their belongings? A landlord called them after she found papers from the health dept. to the tenant (that had skipped out on his rent) regarding their TB status and she said the H.D. came out to burn his left belongings. Does this mean this person is in an active stage of TB and a threat to the general public? If not, then can a H.D. legally do something like this without the tenant's consent? I knew the tenant. Should I be concerned about exposure if I had visited with them inside their home? What about his ex-wife and their young children who knew nothing about this? Apparantly he was supposed to be taking meds for it but was sparotic in his taking of his meds and is a raging alcoholic who drinks heavily everyday. Does that effect the effectiveness of the meds?
