I took the niacin well before the drug screening and gave it enough time to pass through my system. Turns out, it didn't work at all! Friends and associates I've spoken to said it worked for them and they recommended it to me. Did I do something wrong? Were the pills I got duds or something?

Why is it that cutting edge medical technology is available for physicians to use over in the war in Iraq, but not here in America? I saw this on a documentary on TV where they mentioned that new equiptment is being used over in the war that's not even available in the USA. And my neighbor who recently returned mentioned the same.

Why isn't it available here in the states?

My 72 y/o mother had a chest x-ray done that showed lung nodules in the upper quadrant of her right lung. They then did a CT scan and determined that she had three nodules there. Now they want to do a PET scan.

She's a two pack per day smoker for the past 40+ years. She has a light case of COPD.

Any info would be helpful.

My doctor prescribed me ritalin, and I went to the pharmacy to get it filled but my insurance denied it saying i was too old and said i had to get a prior authorization form completed by my doctor. So i paid for the meds anyways assuming the doc would fill out the form. Anyways the meds made me not sleep for 8 days then I had to schedule another doc appointment. She then gave me Strattera samples and told me to stay off the ritalin. I told her about the prior authorization form and she said have the form faxed to her and she would take care of it. Now her secretary is telling me that the doc wont fill out the form because ive already been given Strattera! What are my rights here? Does my doctor have to fill out the form? I want to be reimbursed for the Ritalin.

Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Please explain why.

Cosmetic surgery is a fountain of youth with little risk to the patient.

I disagree, but that's just my opinion. So please give me some feedback! Thanks.

I have just finished a short-term 11 day course of Prednisone. 40mg for 5 days, 30mg for 3days, etc. The heartbeat thing didn't start right away, maybe the 4th day or so. It increased with each day. I took my last dose, 10mg, yesterday, and now am unable to do normal routine things around the house like washing dishes. My heartbeat is so pronounced and feels like its coming out of my chest. It's a sort of watery kind of raspy beat. Very scary. I called my heart doctor and she assured me it was normal. Somehow I just don't feel convinced. How long does it take for the Prednisone to leave the body? Has anyone experienced the same condition and what was the outcome?

I am in the process of being seen for Recurrent Miscarriage Clinic. I got a letter saying that I needed a repeat blood test.
So I went today to do it, and asked what it was for. I was told Protein C ... I will be able to ask more questions at my appt with the consultant in March, but I was wondering if anyone know what protein C would be testing for?

Im more than likely getting the nerves you have from doing a repeat test...

Any info would be necessary...

I am assuming it is some kind of analgesic, but have had no luck finding exactly what it is. I had 3 bottles of various meds before my hysterectomy for cancer, 2 broke. I put all pills together in the last intact bottle, and there are 3 of these pills in there...I have no idea what they are now, I have taken so may things since. Any info would be wonderful!
