It says "The vaccine can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks on one occasion only. AFTER RECONSTITUTION THE VACCINE SHOULD BE USED WITHIN 2 HOURS."
What does the latter part mean? i.e. 'after reconstitution'. I had it in the fridge for 2 days, then in my suitcase and on the plane for 16 hours, then in the fridge after that. Is the medicine still good?

I had a physical today and I told the doctor about my anxiety about riding in vehicles and he prescribed paxil, I don't like taking meds so I checked it out on the internet and read a lot of bad things about it, and I'm thinking no way I would rather have the anxiety, have any of you had to take paxil, how was it?

I heard on the radio this morning that the Red Cross is desperate for blood donations and they are looking for type O especially and that's what I am. I would love to donate, but will they allow me to if I have tattoos?

I have three and I have gotten them all within the last year, the most recent one I got last month

I have seen a doctor for my headaches, she has given me naproxen, and butal (fioricet). The naproxen has not worked at all for me, and the fioricet has worked sometimes. What pill should I ask for next?? I want to get rid of these headaches for good!

I want to begin studying Radiography soon, but the facility that I'll be studying at requires that you choose your specialty/branch *before* you begin studying.... so there's no doing a general course first, to give you the opportunity to decide.
The choices are: Diagnostic, Therapy, Nuclear Medicine & Ultrasound. I've tried to ask them for more details on each, but they've been less than helpful. :(
Can anyone give an idea of the day-day tasks each will be doing. And an idea of the challenges of each.
The most important thing for me is that I want to choose a branch that will allow me to use my brain - I don't want to be a glorified machine operator... if you know what I mean. :)
Which branch allows the most freedom to use your own initiative, make your own decisions and/or work on your own?
Thanks!!

I have been taking the pills a few days because I am 33 and I have a blood pressure of 150/80. They are going to monitor it a few weeks, and we will see if I need meds. There were also other natural things to take like: fish oil, cayenne, onions, apple cider vinegar, which most also come in pill form. I am also cutting salt and excercises 30 minutes a day.

I have trigeminal neuralgia. I've taken Carbamazepine but I was wondering if there was something natural I can take or something I can do at home to help with the pain.

For example, when we give blood... the blood we see is red.

The syringe has that little device that sucks the blood through a vacuum, right? Then there shouldn't be any oxygen in the syringe... then the blood in the syringe should be blue...

Iv'e only been taking amitriptyline for a week now, however it's making me very tired, groggy, moody, dizzy etc.

Im 15 and an insomniac with manic depression (bipolar), and my doc tld me to take 25mg a nite to help me sleep etc.
However, iv'e noticed quite a few changes in myself;
- im tired constantly, and i fall asleep in class.
- During class, if there is noise it makes me 'trip out' and also 'phase out'
- i'm finding consentrating much harder than ever before
-i keep forgetting things
- when i stand up i have to sit back down because i feel dizzy
- my appetite has largely increased.
plus many other things...

Just wondering if anyone knew if these are normal side effects, or if there is something else that may be triggering the symptoms. Also how much is safe to take?...if someone accidently takes more than they are supposed to, how much of amitriptyline would be fatal to a human??


cheers
