I know that you require a prescription within 1 year to buy contact lenses. However, I already have measurement for my eyes (base curve, diameter) on my previous contact lens boxes. So can i just get an eye exam just for testing my refraction/power ? What i actually need are the refraction...I have my eye size measurement on the boxes of my previous lens.

Or do I still have to get a prescription which lists my :
- refraction/power
- eye size

to be able to buy lens?

I stopped smoking around Christmas time (yey me) and I'm doing quite well with the cravings and that, but my habit was more of a social thing. Since stopping I have found that I have nothing to do with my hands and its worse when I’m in the pub and I have started to bite my finger nails again, something that I have not done since I was about 13!!

Can anyone give me any good tips on other displacement activities I can engage my hands in instead or either smoking or nail biting...and clean ones please...

I am a writer so I use the computer a lot! Yesterday, I noticed a small tingling when I used my right hand. It's intermittent. It's not happening now. I also noticed it in my right thumb after I exercised. Do you think maybe I am waking up muscles that were asleep? Does it sound like Carpel Tunnel syndrome? Smile. Thanks

I've been really gassy lately and I haven't a clue why!
It's like.. it feels like you're about to pass gas and then it makes a really loud stomach grumbling sound instead, like i'm holding it in.
And it feels like if you don't hold it in, it'll come out really loud.

I've never ever been like this. And yes... I'm regular!!!

Could it be from dairy that I'm eating? I've always loved cheese, milk and yogourt, so can I just suddenly become intolerant to lactose?
I love my dairy! So what on earth could be wrong?

I used one of those Kiosk blood pressure machines at a local pharmacy and put my arm in the cuff and tested. It said that my Systolic is 130 over 88 diastolic. WHat does this mean? Someone told me that 88 was above normal. If it was, why would that happen and how can I prevent that?

...your care, like in many other countries, was prioritized based on your age, existing conditions, and care needed? In other words, if you found a cancerous lump on your skin, you might have to wait months to be seen if your over 60. Or, if you are already deemed high risk, like an aids patient, you may be put on a long waiting list.

Like any many other countries with Universal Care, you really have no say in the doctor you might be assigned either. Is it worth it to you?

Universal health care is a good idea on the surface, but the real issue is high demand and limited resources. I'm really not sure I like the idea the more I look at the practical implications. Besides, if you have an emergency, any ER is by law required to attend to you -- the illegal immigrants are very familiar with this. So what will universal health care really solve? What problems will it introduce? Are they worth it to you?
