Are there foods to avoid? Should one always be a special diet or just after the operation? Anything else I should know about what to do after the gall bladder is removed?

Is there a way that eye floaters would eventually go away over 5 years?

I don't think I have floaters because they are everywhere In my total view. And they are obstructing my view or vision of things.

I see glimps of dots all over the place where I see its annoying I have it 3 years now.

Please help me.

My daughter was born 5 days ago at 37 weeks gestation. No complications. Her bilirubin at day 4 was 22 (essentially all unconjugated). Her doctor sent her home and put her under lights. Today (day 5) her bilirubin was 17. However, she is still very lethargic. She is peeing and pooping. What should we be doing? Should she be hospitalized? IV fluids? What's the chance of her developing kernicterus?

How do you test for Hemophilia? Is there a certain machine at the hospitals? And no, I'm not looking for symptoms. Thanks.

My fiance's sister in-law has a 21 yo autistic son. He lives at home with them and attends a day program (when his behaviour is OK). The problem is quite an embarrasing one for them. It seems that their son has quite a few issues with going to the bathroom. He seems to have a certain facination with feces, sometimes playing with them as if he was a toddler or something...which obviously is not socially acceptable.

Is this unusual? Could there be something lacking in his diet causing this, or is it a symptom of stress or sexual inactivity?
If this continues they will consider placing him in a group home.

Any ideas for this? They are really at wits end and obviously this isn't a common problem (I think?)

My five-year-old was given tablet-style medicine which would normally be swallowed whole by adults. The doctor recommended that we crush it up and stir it into applesauce. But she's having trouble eating it and thinks it tastes really gross. Any suggestions?

I took him to the doctor last week. I can't see how a prescription of antibiotics is going to fix the problem. It won't stop his toenail from growing into his skin.

Not sure if I have the spelling for asfixiated right but what I mean is this. Someone that does not care about cleaning after themselves and really anyone else. But there is one person they have to check after over and over and clean after them even if its not needed.

I thought that Strep TTS (Toxic Shock Syndrome) caused bacterimia/septicaemia while Staph does not have bacteria, just toxins in the blood . . . now I'm confused. I know that Staph's TTS is usually known for its Toxin A . . what what seperates the two other than toxin types? (Yes I'm aware there are other tests, like gram staining that can be done . . but I'm more curious how I can distinguish the TSS . . (studying for a med test . .thought I've had the correct answer for a while . . and TOTALLY backwards now))

The doc pressed a few points on his body and said nothing wrong. He was in with him for 1 minute. Who do you call to complain and hopefully get his $40.00 copay back? Any ideas?

I'm sure it'll hurt. I know this method of treatment is old-school, but I'm tired of this thing. It's on my wrist at the base of my thumb on the palm side. I can find all sorts of reference to the method online, but nothing actually giving advice on how to do it. Do you use the spine of the book? Do you support the wrist on something soft or just lie you arm down on a table. Also, were you able to do it yourself or did you get someone to do it for you? I don't know if I can bring myself to do it on my own. :)
Thanks.

If so, did you find out what caused it, and even better, did you improve or cure it?

My right leg gives me alot of problems and I have problems walking due to it. I have noticed that it is larger in size (not length) than my left leg. Is that normal? I know that sometimes when limbs are used more they can be larger but I can barely walk on my right leg so it is nursed alot.

Have you done this? Can you recommend a reputable location?

I regret not doing it w/ my son and just found out they let you pay out the 1st year in installments (the place I'm considering costs $1950 the first year and $125/ year after that). Anyhow, now that I know this, I was going to do some more research.

Just looking for others Yahoo users opinions, thanks!
