she has taken drugs, specifically crack, she is not at all an addict, it just happened once for a full night. Now she has to undergo the medical test and she is scared, the test will be about 70 hours after having taken the drugs. What she can do, take, eat or drink to avoid testing positive?

my son is aged 8 and was diagnoised type 1 diabetic in may 2006.he is what the hospital call a healthy diabetic.his blood sugars are usualy between 4-10 but on occasions they can rise up to 20.he has not been hospitalised only on diagnoisis when he had sugar levels of 26 and keytones.i have never had to use the hypostop and when he has been ill with viruses his stepdad and myself have managed his insulin adjustments with confidence.he is a good eater athough fussy and is active. my main concern is his inability to sit and concentrate for periods of time. prediagnois he never sat still at all so there has been some improvement but im sure he could achieve more.he works well with positive reinforcment . he gets lots of love and support from the family,school and medical team.we are open to suggestions i.e diet, education,recreation even religion! INFACT anything.thanks

When I'm in bed with my eyes closed I see random, almost green flashes of light, but when I open my eyes there's nothing. I know I'm hallucinating because when I see it no one else does. I'm not taking any medications, nor am I doing drugs or drinking so it's not coming from those things. What I was wondering is if there is a scientific or medical reason to this or if anyone else happens to have this occur to them?

I started getting this bump under my right armpit. I went to the doctor and he said that it was a piece of breast tissue (pretty much like another one there just minus the nipple) and he explained that that is why it becomes sore right before my period begins.
He said that i could choose to take it off or not. So far I actually havent. I was wondering .......
first...............could that really be the case?

......................If i take it out will it grow again?

......................If i take it out and i take pills to grow my
breasts does that mean it will grow back?

......................If i get pregnant will it grow too? Will it be
troublesome then? Can i even take it out
then? Can u have any kind of surgery while
pregnant?

.......................Is that why my right breast is smaller?

I have MS, which I've had for a few years now. But all of my other symptoms (not MS-like symptoms) led us to question what else could be causing it. Turns out (after a very in-depth blood test) that I have Lyme disease, and I probably have had it for years.

Next week (when I get back home), I'm going to visit the specialist, and they're going to insert a shunt in my chest into which I'll be self-administering high-dose IV antibiotics for an indeterminate time period (potentially years).

My question is what are the long-term effects of high-dose antibiotic therapy? I can already infer that it will "kill every living bacteria in my body, good or bad," but beyond that, what will it do, or what could it do, to me?

what could cause that? I just got home from having an ultrasound and was told that the main duct valve leading to my pancreas is twisted-looking or curly looking. the tech. said she hadn't seen that before. i have a history of pancreatitis and my stomach lining is currently inflamed, also, she said my gall bladder was very large.
any ideas as to what may be done to correct this?
