While neither can be good when it comes to repetitive stress and carpel tunnel, what is generally better for your hands/wrists? Keyboard navigation (mainly using keyboard-based shortcuts) or mouse nav?

I know someone who is a registered nurse. She did not work since 1994. When she applies they require that her experience be recent - 2 to 3 years. What should she do?

Lets see I got my period twice this month the first one started on june 30 & went to July 5th, the second from june 15th and I am still bleeding not heavy but not really light, kinda right in the middle. (mediumish if thats a word) I had sex with my hubby on 7/13 & 7/14 unprotected (was planned that why). I have only gone 9 days w/out bleeding this month. Why is this? I am not stressing! So I do not think that is it. And the last three days I have been suffering from MAJOR headaches. And queeziness off and on, not sure if that is from the headaches. My boobs seem to be tender. Althought I do not think I am feeling this way b/c I am pregant. B/c of bleeding so heavy and receiving my period twice this month. Do you know what else it may be. Has anyone else expereinced this before? I have had to pleaseant pregnancy before and never in my life experienced what I am experiencing now.

I am looking for some kind of monitor that my parents can wear around their neck like a necklace, that is water proof as well. So that when they fall, they can push the button on it and it will make a loud noise like a siren or something. I don't want the kind that calls the alert system, I just want something that is loud so when they push the button I will hear it and know that one of them is down.

Ok im a mid teenager whos healthy. But for like the past year and a half or so i would randomly get this pain and big swelling in my left testicle (some times worse than others) that would lead to a little swelling in my lower bladder. It would come and swell up big for like a day and go away for like a while. It would keep comming and going for like a period spread out of about once evry 2 to 3 months. when it happened its painful but not that bad. depending on how swollen it got. When i got it i do have abdominal pain laso liek a bad sotmach ache. I did have surgery as a oyung ki8d in my same left trsticle to move it down into the sace becasue ti was up to high. Does this have n\anything to do with it? any recommandations?

My niece always keeps copies of everthing she found that her doctor recently went back two years and changed her diagnosis on a couple of conditions. Its't that against the law. We also found out the doctors can take out anything they want.

Recently I have posted questions about my foot injury. This happened while I was at work.A co worker accidently rolled over my foot with a cart of heavy folders. She needed to move the cart out of her way but she rolled it over my foot. I have gotten great answers but haven't seen the doctor and it's been a month and a half after the injury. My foot hurts on a scale of 1-10 it's a 10. Should I go to the emergancy room tonight because it really really hurts and I haven't seen a doctor yet?I HAVE NO HEALTH INSURANCE.Any medical oppinions from nurses or doctors or people with this experience.

Mine are for two weeks, but I take them out every night and put the one-step solution on them and do not replace them for six months. I saw a special on Dateline or 20-20 or one of those shows and it said that all the lenses were the same, but they have different prices and different time limits. They said the eye Doctors know it. Does anybody know? So far, nothing has happened to me, and I have been doing it for eight years.

I have 20/70 vision the last time I got checked out (over a year ago). The last week or so I've noticed my bad eye is getting cloudy. Sometimes it's so bad I can't see through the clouds. I've been rubbing it bad trying to get the clouds to clear up. I've also gotten a few black spots in that eye.

My mother is diabetic and has terrible vision. I have a eye doctor appointment on the 31 of this month. I'm 18 and very worried something bad is going on.

I work at this animal hospital and still feel weak and somewhat queasy at the presence and smell of abundant blood. This is an inevitable part of the job but it is already 6 months and I still feel uncomfortable in seeing surgeries performed and blood. I never thought blood had such a strong odor.
