We are going on vacation in two days and have been planning on drinking beers on the beach. He is a smoker, regular drinker...and has had stomach problems for at least 20 years. He eats Prevacid like it's candy, but has never had any "problems." In the last few days, he has had severe stomach pains, loss of appetite, weight loss (in the last couple months) and he has a very stressful job. What exactly does alcohol do to an ulcer if it's not healed? I do not want anything bad to happen to him, but he insists that he will be fine to drink. We are admittedly heavy drinkers, so please...just advice on what effects this may have on his ulcer. Thank you!

someone sent me a email about shaken baby syndrome and this sounds incorrect to me-i have a disabled baby who has had open heart surgery and this just dont add up.--"When we first arrived at the hospital they put a pressure gage into his head to moniter the Intercranial Pressure (The pressure that the brain is under due to swelling and Bleeding). He wasn't doing too well all day yesterday, his pressure in his head was ranging between 29-40 and the normal pressure is between 5-20. So doctors decided that the best thing to do was to put a tube into his brain to drain spinal fluid from his ventricle. This procedure was a sucess and brought the pressure down."

is there spinal fluid in your brain,and do we have ventricles up in our head?thats what i would like to know--thanks!

It's a controversial cure because they take the brain cells from an aborted baby and use it to treat the disease. That what my science teacher told me that the government won't allow it because there would be a lot of controvery. You know there will be people protesting against that and that' probably why to just avoid all of this.....the government won't allow it. I know abortion is wrong, however, a woman isn't going to have an abortion just to cure Alzheimer's. For whatever reason they are getting it is their choice and not mines and if they are going to do it they might as well give the baby's brain cells and help cure a disease. I'm not saying they should just kill a baby just to add an extra few years to an older person's life, however, woman get abortions so they don't have to deal with taking care of a child. If they going to do it anyways......might as well. What do you all think?

The doctors don't know why...I feel like they are just trying to medicate her for nausea and not find the cause of all of this - she is on dialysis now and does really well with it - she isn't sick during the dialysis...What things should I ask them to test for? She is afraid to eat, that it will make her more sick and I am afraid she is going to want to stop dialysis because of this...what could be the cause of all of her nausea and dry heaves? She has had them almost everyday for 3 weeks....

thanks for the help...

attack. I have not had one so bad in a long time. Is there any
one else who suffers from this condition, and what do you do
to deal with it, and what kinds of medications do you take.
I feel sometimes like I am never going to be well. I try so hard
to tell myself that it could be worse, but when I have an attack,
I am just so depressed and I feel like I will never get better.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

I recently found our my right ureter was completely blocked. I do not know how long it has been completely blocked but I have had pain there for about three years. I had a stent in for two weeks and it was removed last Wednesday. I had been to four different doctors the last three years and they said it was probably a nerve off of my back since I have deteriorating disk disease. (I didn't have insurance, so they didn't care to find out the problem) Well, I had my son on the eleventh so I got my O.B. to check it out and he found my kidney was blown up and my ureter completley blocked. We don't know if my kidney will start back working or not. Anyway, my question is has anyone gone through this or know anyone who has? I just wanted to know too, what amount of time does it take to cause complete kidney failure to where it will not ever work again? Know any web sites I can look at that I may have missed somewhere? Any help will be appreciated.

Recently I haven't been feeling well. I have a back injury that has been acting up. It has made me sick. I cannot keep anything down. Now, it is getting better. I am able to eat and drink a little bit at a time. Could losing so much fluid and not replacing it make my eyes yellow and my urine dark? I am now drinking Gatorade and water to help replinish the fluids lost. I don't want to go to the doc. if I know this will get better with lots of fluids. Thanks.

My dad had to get one yesterday. He is in so much pain that he can't move or lay flat. They had to give him 3 pain shots just so he could get in the MRI thing, and we have been waiting for results. How long should this take?
