I have heard that when using contact lenses dark circles will tend to form under your eyes, is there anyway to avoid/treat this?

People with restless leg syndrome simply don't exert enough energy before trying to fall asleep. During the afternoon or late evening, they should go for a jog for at least 30 minutes. After doing this, their legs should not be so restless anymore. People get restless when they don't exercise enough or exert enough energy! I'm just so tired of seeing these doctors making up new syndromes (I know RLS has been out for at least a couple years now) so the pharmaceutical companies can pump Americans full of new drugs which in a couple years will be shown to cause heart failure and a multitude of other problems. EXERCISE AMERICA, and I guarantee alot of your problems will just disappear. This is just my opinion, a very strong opinion though.

say "I know I know I need to quit" and blah blah blah. And I'm getting tired of her having these coughing fits (she's been having them for years now) She saw my grandmother (her own mother) die of emphysema from smoking, yet this is not enough to make her stop. She has patches and Nicorette gum sitting in the cabinet. I brought up how nasty it smelled in the living room (she smokes in the house) the other day, and she didn't answer me. She was mad that I brought it up. For some reason when you bring up her quitting smoking, she gets an attitude and tunes you out. Does she not realize it's affecting me my brother, sister, and my dad (he has been complaining a lot lately about the house smelling like a giant ashtray). Question: How in the world do you get through to a person, or get a point across when they won't listen to you or take your advice?

My father is 53yrs old living in a small country town and has suffered terrible back pain for the last 20yrs. He "broke" his back falling down stairs and then had a lumbar fusion operation. Which apparently was botched. He has had another operation since (6yrs later) but the scarring is very bad and his doctor claims that much of it is irreversable. He is on a ridiculous amount of medications including anti-depressants (a side effect of his constant pain). His doctor says there is nothing they can do, but I know this doctor to be very old and tired of life so I suspect he finds it easier to dope him up rather than find a better solution. Does anyone know a specialist in Melbourne we can go to for a second opinion?

Personally, I get quite annoyed about the commericals about the guy who said going on insulin was the hardest decision. Honestly, I didn't have a choice! I was just wondering if any other type 1 diabetics get annoyed by all those type 2's? If so, how to you deal with it? Are you also tired of explaining the difference?

We had a flood in our basement, and to get rid of some of the bacteria that could be starting, I used straight bleach. The smell of bleach was quite strong throughout my home. Is this dangerous?

She keeps aking me things like, can you not smoke in bed, or stop blowing that smoke my way. How do I tell her to quit being so selfish. I mean I love her, but not enough to quit smoking.

There is better cleaning product that will keep you and your family safe. There is too much chemical in the outside air, so we should try to keep our home more safe.

I had one abnormal pap test in jan 2006 and in july? 2006 was told i had genital warts...
Is one abnormal pap going to have my drs write down that i have HPV in my records?
I should be getting my yearly pap test done in a month, but because of the dumb pharmacy i go to it will not do a 12 refill perscription they only do a 6. So i had my dr call another script in...and its good for another 6 months. I dont think they even looked to see when my pap test was due!?
Should I be having them more often than once a year?
My pap in july-06 was good, and the one in dec-06 was fine too.

My mother is almost 83 years old. She had a tumor on her left thumb, had it removed and had a skin graft. It has been almost 5 weeks now and the doctor spoke of attaching her thumb to her belly for it to heal. she does not want that done. Should we get a second opinion if the doctor insistes of doing the attachment.
