i heard that keeping a new ear ring in after getting it pierced is just so the hole wont close. so does this mean that i can switch the ear rings daily after two weeks and still allow the hole to heal? does the actual ear ring have anything to do with the healing process or is it just to keep the hole from closing?

He asked the doctor but he didn't give him an answer. He is very depressed, feels horrible, every time he eats he gets sick to his stomach. His sugar was about 550 when he last went to the doctor & he was given a prescription but it doesn't bring it down any lower than 300. Does it take a while to get in your system? He has no insurance & can't afford to go to the nutrition classes. Is there some help out there for him.

On my father's side of the family almost EVERYONE has diabetes (both type A and B, plus they are all overweight Itaians lol), and on my mothers side they are all underweight super tall french people with high cholestorol and blood pressure.
I know I am young but a few months ago I went on a diet, because I would have 2 whole pieces of white bread and 1/4 loaf of franchese bread each night (not including the BUTTER), I havn't had barely any bread since.

Am i still at risk for diabetes even though I rarely have bread and butter anymore? I also have a lower body fat% now.

My blood sugar was 39 and my temperature was 102 when I passed out driving my car on the highway. I end up going to the hospital and not waking up for 5 hours. I was in the hospital 3 times during a 24 hour period. The first time was when I passed out outside in the heat while I was drinking and I took me medication at 9:30 P.M. that night and I didn’t wake up for 3 or 4 hours in the hospital. The second time was when I broke my arm and they gave me two shots in my butt so I could get x-rays for my hand. The third time in 24 hours was when I was driving my car on the highway and I passed out and my dad was following me. I donated some blood at my community blood center a couple months ago and its time for me to donate again which I want to but I don’t want to pass out. The doctor drew my blood and I won’t know the results until next week sometime.

My bro has cirrhosis & has tested positive for cocaine use. I KNOW, for a fact, that my 400lb. bro is NOT using cocaine & hasn't for 17 years! How can this happen? He doesn't even drink and only smokes cigarettes, non-menthol. He also drinks a LOT of water! Any ideas?

I've had my ostomy for a year and I've avoided those two items except once when I took the casing off a sausage and it was a pain. Can I not eat any meat with casings at all or should I have them few and far between?

I appreciate the answer by one of you but I would like to know has anyone else been diagnosed with fibro and from evoked response test shows that the sheath is not normal? I am in pain 24/7 have been to pain management and they tell me to do yoga. I have been doing this - some positions I can not do it exerbates the pain. They would not give me pain meds because the said after awhile I would just needed something stronger. Each day is a new day for me. My physical activities include yoga, mowing mine and my neighbors yard (with self propelled mower), watching my 1 yr old grandson. It kills me to lift so he walks and climbs alot. I filed for diability last year 10/06 but I hear it takes up to 2 yrs for anything to get done. I am currently on food stamps, I get 12.00 for mowing my neighbors yard. Depression on some days is terrific. I am on Effexor XR..
