Other - Health - November 2006

I am 59 years old with a history of high blood pressure for which I take medication. I also take medication for Thyroid since mine was removed. I also need to check out why my hands have begun to shake and I fall often or run into things.
I moved for work to a new town and found an Internist as my primary Doctor. He made appointments for me with a Neurologist, a GYN, and a Psycharitrist because I take Depakote.
I had never heard from the Neurologist about the results of my brain scan and when I called the receptionist looked at the results and said, It looked fine. I asked for the Dr. to call me and he never did.
I did not see a Psycharitrist but a nurse practioner who wrote the script for Depakote.
I had the fllue or a bug and when I went in to see the Internist for that he began discussing all the appointments. I answered honestly.
I said that in the past my Internist coordinated my health care and that I thought he could do that.
He screamed for me to get out of his office.

I left work sick Sunday morning at 1am with diarrhea. I have been taking Pepto non stop since then but it doesn't seem to be working. I haven't eaten since Saturday night because I'm afraid to. I have only been drinking water and Gatorade. Is there any other medication I can try that will work on it?

My father died, was in five hospitals and the invoices are flying in. He was supposed to be on Medicare, then BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD for a secondary provider. How does this work?

If you had a lump below your ear- that had a cat scan but needed second opinion- took antibiotics 2 separate times- and upped the dosage and the lump still won't go away....do you think a biopsy would be the best thing? My CT scan said it was normal but my doc wants me to get a second opinion.

My sister just called me and told me that she just discovered lice in her 4 year old daughters head. She is treating her today and plans to comb through every inch of her head to get rid of every nit she can find. However, my sister and her family are still planning on coming to my gramma's house for thanksgiving weekend. We all travel in from out of state and stay in very close quarters for three days. I am VERY concerned that someone else is going to contract lice from contact with my niece. I really want them to be able to come, but is it realistic to expect that she won't pass the lice on to someone else, even with the treatment?
HELP

I wear disposable 1 to 2 week contact lenses. I never wear them overnight...I take them out and soak them in multi-purpose solution. Is it safe to wear them wear the same pair for 3 weeks instead of 2 if I'm not wearing them continuously? (They are O2 Optix if that matters.)

I wake up every single night around the same time (usually a little before 5 or so...) I usually lay awake for about an hour and then fall back asleep for an hour before work. Last night I was up from 3 am - 7 am. Anyone know what could be causing this? I fall asleep fine...

I know this is a funny question, but I am having a debate about this with a friend. We have all heard someone say "Oh no, I would break your legs." when offered a lap to sit on, maybe you have said it yourself. But...is it really possible? Can one person really injure another by simply sitting on their lap?

Hi guys,
I need to find a list of all Health Shops (Eg, Holland & Barrett) in the UK that sell Health Drinks. Not isotonic sports drinks but Health ones that claim to cure ailments or keep joints healthy, things like that. Thanks loads. JT :)

Okay, a few nights ago my friends and I ordered some pizza and I had A LOT of it. I went to sleep and when I woke up I fealt like I had the flu. Shivers, dizziness, loss of appetite, etc. Worse yet, I had to go to the bathroom to go number 2 every 30 mins. It was basically diarrhea except it was pure liquid. Gross I know... This has really gotten me worried since it has been 1 full day and I'm still suffering from it. Do you think I have a stomach virus or something?

I have had a sore throat for 5 weeks along with an overall sick feeling. I don't want to do anything but lay down. I aso have other cold type symptoms-dull headache, stuffy head, mild cough, etc. I have seen 2 Dr's that say I have allergies and 1 that says I have a cold. I know what both are like and this is not it.For the last 2 years I have had the same symptoms about twice a month, but only for 2-7 days. Now I just can't shake it. My body feels weak and I just keep getting worse.Does anyone know what else could be wrong with me? I am only 25 years old, I eat healthy, and when I am not sick I exercise. I have an appt in December with an ear/nose/throat Dr, but if I am still sick I'll go nuts. I don't know what else to do. Any ideas?

My husband is very sick from food poisoning and wants to know if there is anything he can do to stop vomiting or diarrhea, or at least lessen it somewhat. Also, what can he try to drink that won't upset his stomach to help him with fluid loss? Also, is it possible to have food poisoning without a fever? Thanks!
