i have noticed on this answers that anyone who is disabled or asks advice for a disabled friend. relative etc,etc, there are nasty replies, why? at the end of the day it is not no ones fault about being disabled and i think people should keep rude comments to themselves as it easily offends.

She's 74 and feels fine with no symptoms and is going back for more blood tests. Will get the details from my dad. I'm an optimist but not like what I'm reading already. Is it possible to live with this without Chemo or drugs? Just learning what to expect. thanks

Through which mechanism does insulin affect food intake?

a. It enables the intestines to digest certain types of protein that they would not otherwise be able to digest.
b. It increases the percentage of each meal that is stored as fats.
c. It increases the sensitivity of the taste buds to sugars.
d. It increases the preference for salty foods.

I chose answer B. because if you eat too much, your body converts excess blood glucose into fats and other stored fuels. The flow of glucose from the blood into cells depends on insulin, a hormone released by the pancreas. Insulin helps to move excess nutrients out of the blood and into the liver or fat cells.
- I am not sure if the answer is A. or B. because A seems possible also. I really need help on this one! It was confusing.

There's been what i guess you would say is an outbreak of the MRSA Staph Infection in a couple towns about an hour or more away from the town i live in. My school is taking all hte precautions to prevent us from getting it, like spraying down the locker knobs with disinfectant. But I've heard that it looks like boils?....and pimples. So I'm just kind of curious as to whether or not i should be concerned. Although ive had acne since about 7th grade, so its normal for me, but it never hurts to try and find out. So help please?

my boyfriend gets splitting headaches after he jacks off, pain to the point of tears. this has happened before, and i'm worried that there might be something wrong. the pain is in the right side of his head, and it's really bad for about five minutes, then it fades to a normal headache. it's not a migraine, he's had those enough to be able to tell teh difference. We're just not sure what it is. any ideas? do you think there's any association with the fact that it happens after he jacks off?

There is some major forrest fires here in Southern California, and it is making me feel incredibly sick (allergies). I have taken some prescription Allegra, but I still feel very badly. Is there anything else that might help? My lungs also feel very badly. And I have been staying inside just to avoid the smoke. I am also nowhere near the fires, the smoke and ash is just in the air.
