Mine is 119.

Right on target. I love this new pump...my sugars (except for one mishap) have been terrific since I got it.

Is everyone else doing good? Ready for the weekend?

There are a few, although i have found with specialists you need to find the correct discipline even though everybody says they can help:

Cranial Osteopathy?
Sacrocranial?
Chiropractor?
Dentist with TMJ skills?

Any ideas??

If your doctor ordered an ultrasound to look at your thyroid gland and your lymph nodes were swollen and you felt like crap most of the time, what would you think? I have hypothyroidism. On Synthroid. That test was fine. ANA, RA, & SED rate ok. The lump growning into my throat is getting bigger (on the inside). One doctor said I had a mass, another said it was massive. Then, a few days later, the first doctor said I may have nodules. Doctor said he was going to ordr biopsy after ultrasound. What would you think?

I actually bought one a long time ago. Tried to watch it twice. I could not get past the first 15 or so minutes and even that was a chore. It was bad, very bad. Critics said he was a grade B actor, I think they were being kind.

I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm only 15 and should be perfectly healthy. I've been having dizzy spells, head aches, tingling in the back of my head and in my feet, and I lose time without remembering what happened. It's really starting to scare me. I recently lost my appatite and haven't eaten much in the last two days. I've tried talking to my parents about it but they think I'm imagining things. What do you think?

I had a cold sore about a week ago, now im not sure but I'm starting to get the signs of genital herpes. I'm going to go get tested soon but I am curious if you have a cold sore and you touch it and accidentally touch your genitals if you can get genital herpes that way.

about 2 weeks ago, i undertook a major cleaning of my house. Ever since then, every day I am finding anywhere from 2 to 6 new spots of itchy skin. I do have allergies to dust and everything associated with it. I have tried everything I can think of from washing all of my linens/slip covers for the furniture to actually taking the shop vac to my furniture (including my bed). I can't stop scratching!! It's driving me crazy... I appear to be the only one getting these, my fiance doesn't have anything on him. I've been doing some research and these bites resemble bed bugs but I don't know where they would have come from. I shower on a regular basis... I don't know what else to do... I haven't changed my diet or anything. Could I have developed an allergy to my laundry detergent even though it's the same one I have always used? What else could it be?? I haven't been able to get to my dr's b/c his schedule is basically the same as my work schedule.... HELP PLEASE!

Seriously - why are people so enamored with animal products that they resign themselves to getting crippling and disfiguring diseases like breast cancer, etc. when they can avoid such tragedies by avoiding animal products and taking care of themselves?
