Other - General Health Care - March 2007

There are a lot of adverts on TV about the effect of passive smoking. I know three loney disabled people, who smoke.
One of them I see briefly twice a week, one I haven't seen for a while, one I see quite a lot, she smokes 300 a week.
My problem is with the 300 a week one, she requires and wants a lot of help, I buy a lot of her shopping because she can't get out, I make her drinks, feed her bird, and help her around her flat. I have told her I don't like her smoking when I eat my sandwiches, but she does, she got annoyed when a paid carer opened a window to escape the smoke.
In these circumstances, how can I avoid being a passive smoker?

I get plenty of sleep, I exercise and eat right. This has been going on for over a year now, but it feels like it keeps getting worse. It's interfering with my job, my social life, my relationship because I get irritable easily. What is wrong with me? I wake up feeling like I didn't sleep at all and I'm completely exhausted. I tried going to my doctor with no luck. Help!

My family and I were out yesterday afternoon on The Sacramento River on a boat. We sprayed ourselves with OFF but we all pretty much got bitten up. This is the worse I have seen mosquitos and it's only March. I got some Gold Bond for the bites (still itching) and some Odorless garlic pills.

Has anyone tried using garlic pills to ward off mosquitos? Is there any types of foods or supplements to help mosquitos not like me?

Thank You,

My husband and I are thinking about signing up for Kaiser insurance. What do you think of the slightly bad reputation that Kaiser has -- is it warranted, or not? What is your opinion of Kaiser?

My Mom has the beginning stages of emphysema and the Doctor told her that it will be full blown with a year time. The Doctor says she need to quit right now. Can anyone tell me about the nicotine patches because she would like to know more about them? (She smoke over 2 packs a day) She also have difficulty in swallowing, could that be part of the emphysema too?

I heard that the device for measuring height fluctuates like that of a mechanical scale and some people complain of being measured shorter or taller than they really are, esp. at home when they do it themselves.

Every few months I will have an issue with the back of my right thigh. My skin will be very irritated and tender to the touch. It last for about 4 days. There are no signs of redness or anything on my skin, but it feels extremely irritated and is painful when touched. Sitting, sex...ect It is always the back of my right thigh this happens.
Anyone can explain this?

Ok I'm thinking that there isn't any way to measure this but it would be interesting to hear your thoughts! I find it fascinating... pain is ultimately subjective..you know: when someone is sick they feel horrible but you have no idea how horrible they are actually feeling!
