I work on a computer at work every day and wondered if it mattered if i get non glare on my lenses. I am not sure if it will make a difference or not. I have been told it will reduce the glare but they will also scratch faster too.

I had been having this damn persistent fever for the past 2 weeks (between 37.4 degree celcius - 38.5). Did a blood test for dengue but showed negative ..doctor didn't even know what is it. Took paracetamol and it somehow controls the fever however once I stopped taking it, it goes back up ...

What could it have been the cause? Hepatitis?

Does drinking caffeine like soda, or coffee with medicine really decrease the effectiveness of the medicine? I'd always heard that, but wasn't sure if it were true or not. I actually had a Professor who took her Advil's with Coca Cola on purpose, because she said it opened up the veins, and caused the medicine to get there quicker to relieve the pain. Which is true? Or does it not matter either way?

We were at the bus stop on 16th Street in DC and I saw something leaning in the corner. I went over, and it turned out to be a prosthetic leg. It looked used. It has a shoe on the foot. There was a dog tag around the ankle that looks like it says CPL J MILLER IRQ or something. Do you know where I can sell it. I listed it on E-Bay, but the auction got cancelled.

I have been having this off and on since June, and been to the doctors twice. They want to do an MRI but I always have to wait months to get into see the doctor. I also have some back pain in the spinal area once in awhile depending on what I am doing. The doctor thought it may be some discs fused together , or MS. And I can't get into do an MRI until next month since I am trying to have a baby. Thanks for your answers in advance.

I had a really bad week as I felt weak all week . lol I had planned to get up at 7 am some mornings and ended up strugling out of bed at 9 30 and therefore not getting alot of stuff done. I wasted my days off by feeling too week to go out and do stuff. I have had some rough nights at work this week but I don't think that after having a good nights sleep , I would still feel weak. I am eating plenty of fruits and drinking coffee and soda but still feel sluggish. I want to be more productive this coming week and get up earlier (I don't have to get up early because I don't work till mid afternoon but I want to have more daytime hours to do stuff. Vitamins never helped and actually gave me headaches when I took too many of them. I can't really get out and walk either because it is too hot out in the daytime and not safe to walk day or night.

I've heard a great deal of complaints about the taxation and the inefficiency of the Canadian health system. I'm wondering, however, if there is another side to the story. Are there any Canadians out there who prefer what they do have to the American insurance system?

Is it possible to have something lodged in your windpipe? It's not a matter of not being able to breathe, but more of an annoyance. No matter how much water I drink, it won't go away.

Whenever I read on my bed, cry, laugh too hard or whatever reason which results in shedding some few tears, these tears stink my eyes badly and I would have to quickly wash them with running cool water.
