My Mom had to have a TPN line for awhile (less than a month). She has been off it for about 2-3 days and we cant get her to eat at all. She will drink fluids, but anything we give her to eat, even her favorite foods, she will only take one or two bites, or will hold the food in her mouth for awhile and want to spit it out. She just says stuff doesnt taste good. She never had a very good appetite before the TPN line and was always a picky eater. We have told her she has to try and eat so as not to go back on the TPN line and all she says is "I know". Please can anyone tell me what I can do to help encourage her to eat? We talked to the Dr and he said they may start her on a oral med to help with her eating in a few days. Please.. any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Well... i have this mole on my back... and sometimes it sends sharp pains through my back. I showed my mom, and she said if it was cancerous it wouldnt hurt, and would be bigger. But then my step mom looked at it and said it was wierd that it was two different colors. I should get it checked out, right? i just don't want to go to the doctor's and have him look at me as if i am crazy!!!

I really think i need my back checked out, but, i have been unemployed for several months and cant afford to go to my regular doctor. I tried searching for a place on yahoo but i dont know what to search for, do these clinics/offices have a special name i could search for? Or how could i find one? The Health Department maybe?

Im looking for ideas here because the Dr.'s haven't been able to figure out what is wrong with my husband.

This has been going on since last September. He will get headaches pretty much everyday and only get maybe an hour break during the day when the headache isn't as bad, but is usually still there.
They pretty much always start in the back of his head on the sides and travel upward. There are sharp pains along with the severe headache.
He does not get sensitive to light or sick. He pretty much always has neck pain with the headaches.
We do not think these are migraines, but have no idea what is going on!
Today he pretty much wants to die because it is so bad. He says it feels like his head is going to explode.
Can anyone please give me some ideas of what the heck could be going on??

My hubby and I are debating which route to go. What are your opinions and experiences with either one???

I am 7 months pregnant with our 2nd child, we have a 2 1/2 year old boy and a girl on the way. My hubby doesn't want any more kiddos, and I am not sure either way... Of course being a female and having the mother instinct I would love to have 10 kids... But realistically, we can give 2 children a wonderful life where as 3-4 would be a little difficult financially... So really we don't need any more kids, but I am afraid that I will want another in a few years... But with a tubal, the decision to have another will aready be decided... same as with a vasectomy.. We are 23 and 24 years old, so I am wondering what your opinions are about it. I am scheduled to have a c-section, so it would be the best time to do it if I were going to... But which one is a better choice?? Why?? and do they hurt?? either one of them?? I just need outside help, as I kow this is a huge decision...

Do you have a problem with wetting the bed and what age are you? I tend to wet the bed about once a week and sleep with a plastic mattress protector under my bottom sheet and also wear a full nappy type pad (diaper) most nights (the protector is for if I are not wearing the pad. Does anyone else have this problem?

My mother is about 55 years old and she is constantly claiming that she has this sinus pressure that causes her headaches. So she takes Sudafed everyday and she has been doing this for the last 20 years as far as I can remember. She used to take an Excedrin & Sudafed combo everyday but in recent years has cut out the Excedrin and just keeps taking the Sudafed. Is there something in the Sudafed she is addicted to? What are the effects that Sudafed could have on a person who took them everyday for 20 Years?

He wrote prescription drug for a friend, and went to buy the prescription drug and got it no questions asked. Note, that he's not a doctor.

Would he get in trouble if the the prescription drugs he gave his friend have side effects or even killed the friend?

I am working on an Ethics paper and need more information. It's been said that "MOST states require immunization for school enrollment..." the operative word here being MOST. That means not ALL, right? Are there any states that do NOT require immunizations to attend school? If so, which states allow voluntary immunization?
