General Health Care - August 2006

Please name a credible 'On Line' LPN Program. Cost is not a problem at present but I've got the time, and a most sincere desire. I just don't want to take on, for me , such a hard task. I already have a Associates degree In Science, a recent RMA. Thankyou

Ok, I am a veteran of the Army. While I was active duty, I 'sprained' my ankle, which gave me bursitis in my hip. I have been out of the military since 02 and they (VA hospital) say that they can't do anything to them. IS there anything I can get done to stop the pain? surgically?

Also, my wrists are extremely weak and somtimes my hands go numb to my elbows. What could that be?

Additional Details

I do get comp. 10% for ankle and 10% for hip.

Can a sprained ankle last 4+ years?

If a sprained ankle can't last 4+ years, what else could it be?

I have made major changes to my diet. How long does it take to see a significant decrease? Say from 240, down to 200 or less.

Since they never see the light of day, if you were wounded and your internal organs were exposed to sunlight, would they instantly get burned, or does our skin let light inside our body? or is there a protective membrane around all of our organs, i just keep picturing a solider holding his guts and his guts are smoking...

The government allows the chemical co. much leeway in there oking chemicals in our food and drink,this with the pharmaceuticals hype and advertising over the counter drugs, i believe are accumalating in our system causing an imbalance in the brain,one reason i believe children are shooting each other,adults are shooting there supervisors,and fellow workers.You just cannot mix chemicals with drugs and expect everything to be ok.They create side effects which are cancerous,debilatating, seizures, nervousness, just deleting your immune system which makes you prey for all kinds of ailments.I have in the papers grandchildren shot there grandmother and grandfather cause they couldn't use the car,this is not normal.These are the actions of CRACKHEADS, COCAINE,LSD,METH,ANGEL DUST, USERS. Is the chemical additives to our food and drink supplies finally accumulating in our system and creating this problems? Is the drugs interacting with the chemicals to advance this problem, creating a nut?

I have been taking meds for several years. The blood pressure has gotten better, but the diastolic (lower) number hasn't improved enough. Is the problem worth correcting with a higher dosage of meds?

My husband is on Non-service connected disibility and they have me as his caregiver so I am uncovered for any health insurance. I had to have a major operation last year called lateral pancreactic jajaustomy. We live on a fixed income and now I need surgery for two hernias steming from the surgery. The pysician who did the surgery will not admit me because I have no insurance. No I have stacks of bills for every one who looked at me. Will these ruin my credit

I've been to ENT Dr. and they gave me antibiotics 3 weeks ago. I still have them everyday but not as bad. They are always on the right side of my face.

I'm not really sure what's going on, but my hands and feet have swollen up quite a bit in the last two weeks. My joints are sore and stiff. I feel like I'm 72, but I'm only 32! Now my wedding band and engagement ring are stuck on my ring finger, my finger is really starting to get sore. I'm starting to panic. I've tried cold water, soapy gel, Vaseline, even KY jelly. I've come very close to getting them off, but nothing has worked as of yet. Is there a better time of day to try this? If I keep trying repeatedly won't the finger swell more? HELP! What should I do if nothing works?
