Hello. I have eyeglasses but can not wear them as I am always hot in the face and have tried every anti fog stuff out there to no avail. So recently I have gotten contact lenses but am not able to get them in. I have tried many different ways and all it does is irritates my eyes and its been about a week eince I had them in because I can not do it and it is very aggrevating. I need someones tips or advise or whatever who has the same troubles or someone who knows about eyes and such with any other ways of going about correcting my vision. Is there any other contacts that might be easier or something? I dont know, all I know is I had it with these damn contacts and since not wearing them I can tell my vision has become worse and am afraid of going blinde possibly.

well my dad has had a stroke, many years ago, he has diabetes, high blood pressure + hardening of the arteries and emphysema. since xmas he has been suffering with dizzy spells. we have checked his sugar level and this is not the problem. we have checked out his medication to make sure he isn´t mixing the wrong ones. his doctor says he has vertigo, but i feel soemthing isn´t right. the attacks can happen anytime of the day. could someone give any advice? what role does uric acid have? could it be something as simple as anaemia? and how can a dopplar test help?

i'm hoping for deep tissue, sports massage, rolphing, or the like. SERIOUS massage (not to say other massage isn't serious, but, essentially, a jackhammer is needed to get through my, ahem, reichian "armour", if you know what i mean). barter's an option, though i'm not good for much...

I am a 15 year old girl and have a fairly healthy past but lately I have unusual things happening to my body. Usually 5 times a week, sometimes more, lately an area in my upper-left side of the abdomen under the ribs has been hurting, and it will be painful for up to 2 hours. The pain is like a stabbing/pinching and I have tried to figure out if it is linked to something, but it happens at random times. Sometimes when I have just eaten, other times on an empty stomach, sometimes when I have been walking or moving around, othertimes when I have just been standing there. The past few days, this seems very unrelated, but I have been sneezing quite a bit and I have no allergies and have checked online and the allergies in my area are low, and when they have been high I have had no problem. Also last night I was cold in my room while I was trying to sleep and I stood up to turn down the fan, and when I stood up and reached up and pulled I got very dizzy and things when dark. Thanks!

Luvs added the new blue extra absorbancy stuff on the inside of the diaper, it seems to irritate my son's skin on his genital area and abdomin. Wondering if anyone else has had the same problem. The old luvs never bothered him.

I normally wear contacts, but recently changed to glasses (NOT due to allergies). My glasses need to be updated, they are an old perscription. A few days after wearing my glasses, my eyes started drying our really bad. Again, this is not due to allergies, but could the dryness be due to my eyes straining to see?

Given that over £8.1 Billion is raised through taxation on smoking, Shouldnt we cut them some slack? where does all this tax go? schools, hospitals et.....

oh yes and cost (net) of smoking to the NHS is 1.5 Billion

these are all goverment printed figures so what would happen if this revenue wasnt there?

cost on the NHS = http://www.ash.org.uk/html/cessation/primarycare.html

Revenue Raised By Smoking = http://www.ash.org.uk/html/press/060320.html

£7.5 billion is alot of money
