Just got back from spain and got prickly heat again! Its very annoying as i have darkish skin and use a very high factor sun screen.Anyone got any ideas how to treat it when this happens or even how to prevent it ?
Answer:
I agree prickly heat is very annoying!
I'm not a dermatologist but if I remember correctly prickly heat is effectively an allergic reaction to the ultraviolet light.
The only way to prevent it by using high SPF creams/ sunblock or avoiding the UV light. Antihistamines will reduce the allergic reaction once it has occurred but I suppose you could try and prevent it with them.
apply cucumber juice to skin.
Calamine lotion will cool the skin down you can buy it at the local supermarket or chemist
Oat meal bath did the trick for me when i took a trip to Egypt. Not Actual oatmeal. But if you go to the pharmacy, they will know what your talking about.. its cheap too!
I use calamine lotion, it's great, it just takes all the itch away and smells nice too!!
You can use prickly heat powder or cream. They have a very cooling effect. The cream lasts longer. Check your pharmacist. Or you could check out the pakistani/indian grocery stores.
take some anti-histamin tablets like benydryl before you go on holiday they may help also try calamine lotion.
Next time you know you are going to be exposed to sunlight for an extended period see your doctor and ask him/her to prescribe an antihistamine for you.

Prevention is better than cure?
They say prevention is better than cure, but sometimes we dont no what damage we are causing ourselves. It might be cause we did this damage when we was young an it is paying off in later life or that we just didnt know. Either way some things can not be helped if you do not understand what damage you are doing to your body.What part of you do you wish you could have a second go with now you are more wiser?
If you have no problems then no need to comment.Ill start, mine is my teeth although I cleaned them it runs in my family for weak teeth so now I am older its starting to pay and its all coming at once.
Answer:
I'll agree with the teeth. Mine were fine and I was complacent, and then when I got pregnant each time with my two children they pretty much crumbled away for nine months. My dentist has warned me if I have any more kids my teeth wont survive it. But if I had developed better habits rather than presuming they would always be as good as they were then it might have been less dramatic
i wish i'd been at bit more risk taking,
now i'm really cautious about everything i do
I have a bad sunburn on my back that won't go away for years.
I was vacationing in a nice, picturesque resort island 3 years go... but I didn't sunbath. I just swam and played in the water for hours. I did apply sunscreen spf 50 waterproof before I got into the water. But you know how there're just some spot that we cn't reach on our back. And I forgot to ask my friend to apply it for me, because I was to excited to go snorkeling. Afterwards...the skin on my back was burning. I applied aloe cream right away. But the pain won't go away for weeks. Three years... it's getting better now, but still there're frekles and light brown spotchesand my tank top's line. I'm still self-concious about it whenever I wear backless top. If I have a second chance...well you know what would I do...
Are you for real, sounds like i know what part you need. A BRAIN. ( sorry, had to be said!)
My maternal grandmother was an alcoholic. My mother is a neurotic. I am only manic depressive. My system was genetically affected through my maternal grandmothers' alcoholism.
Now i treat the cause and not the symptoms.
I avoid pharmaceutcal solutions.. Treat the cause, not the symptoms.
There no piont in saying, i wish i had, if you can't take life as a learning curve your old age will hurt even more ...

Prevention is better than cure "OR" Cure is better than prevention?
I think people will choose prevention is better than cure but are they prevent before cure? Or people just look at fact?
Answer:
PREVENTION PREVENTION PREVENTIONIn all cases. Once something happens where a cure is needed to fix it, it has gone beyond the point of ever returning to it's natural state. Even if a cure is found and applied, it can never be as good or as similar as it once was.Example:You accidentally put a hole in a wall. You can calk it, re-plaster it, re-paint it, but it will always be suseptable and vulnerable, because it is weaker. Same with a broken bone, aging skin, etc.
If you prevent then there is no need for a cure. But a cure is nice when there is an unfortunate reason for it.
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" ."they" always say. :)
Of course prevention is better than cure.

Preventing diabetes?
how can i prevent diabetes? i really need to know becausei'm getting tested in july...so yea.
Answer:
If you have a genetic tendancy for diabetes, there is probably not much you can do to prevent getting it.Probably the one most important step is to Keep your way under control.
Preventing Type 2 diabetes is to low your sugar intake and exercise so you're not overweight but I'm not sure how you would prevent Type 1 diabetes.
Best way to prevent Diabetes Type 2 is by diet and exercise. The reason people get diabetes is because of the ount of fat on them. When that happens, insulin resistence occurs, hence one needs insulin shots to compensate. So eat healthy and decrease amount of carbs/sugar and hit the gym girl!
preventing the disease diabetes?take good care of your self, now if you already messed that up?I'll tell you my story and my brothers,OK?here's mine, i was pre diabetic, my blood sugars i couldn't seem to get under control, so i changed my diet,got regular exercise, and now, I'm all clear as long as i continue to take good care of myself, my doctor said, i turned back the hands of time!my brother, has a job on the road, hes a single guy,he never cooked for himself, he ate breakfast,lunch, dinner at fast food places everyday, he was tired, gain a lot of weight, eye sight was getting bad, and some other things, like headaches and stuff, while talking to someone who was diabetic, this person-noticed the severe signs and had him go directly to Doctor, where the doctor put him in hospital for 2 weeks, he under went classes on insulin shots and learning how to eat properly, when he got out of hospital, he cleaned his whole house and fridge of bad foods, his new fast food place became subway, it is really good for you,he started exercising, lost 90 pounds and turned his life around, no more diabetic meds ,no more insulin, no more diabetes as long as he takes care of himself, so just ex cerise and eat healthy, you should be fine!!!!!!
One type is genetic and not preventable. It is an autoimmune disease. The other type is prevented by eating a ketogenic diet.
If it runs in your family then you may be predisposed to getting it. But, If you eat healthy ALL the time, Lots of whole grain foods, food in the low G.I., restrict sugars and fats, exercise ... you may keep it all in check.. you do NOT have to be fat or obese to get this disease or drink alcohol. (People that are over-weight, drink alcohol and eat a high content of fats and sugars can become diabetic... but not always. ) So bottom line is IF it runs in your family take precautions NOW and eat accordingly and exercise. You can stay prediabetic and keep it all in check and never hit Type 2... its up to you.

Prevent spread of athlete's foot?
I have been living with athlete's foot for years and it has never spread to any other areas of my body or to anyone else, but I'm worried that it will one day. How do I prevent the spread of athlete's foot? And if my feet does not show any signs of infection, does that mean that the fungus can't spread? Sometimes my athlete's foot goes away, or is not noticeable such as when winter comes.
Answer:
Athlete's foot is caused by a fungus that likes moist, warm feet. Add a huge accent on "moist", as it will not grow without moisture.The first thing to do is dry your feet after you wash them. Then wear cotton socks only, until the condition is alleviated. Check out the shoes you are wearing as tight, restraining, shoes contribute to sweating and dampness, and they inhibit evaporation. Open shoes/sandals are a great idea. Change the socks whenever they get wet. Use rubbing alcohol after your feet are dry. This will not necessarily kill the fungus, but it will dry the skin more than a towel can do, and it will inhibit growth of the fungus.Use medication on your feet. There are several medications available from your local pharmacy. Talk to the pharmacist about it. Powders may be best, as they help to keep the foot dry for a longer time. Clean out the powder when you change socks and/or shoes.If you feel the problems is serious, discuss it with your doctor.

Pressure in the lower belly caused by intestinal parasites?
Back in may 2006 i drank water that was perhaps contaminated, near a farm. Since january 2007 i experience presure in the lower abdomen. At first I felt it only on the left side but then it spread to the right side. I've asked a doctor and he told me it was perhaps an accumulation of hard to digest things that i ate. But that should be gone long ago because i drink alot of orange juice and have no regularity problems. I know the spawn time of many parasites that live in used water is like 6 months so i'm worried.
Answer:
I am guessing with that answer you went to a homeopath or chiropractor. (A lot of those people are "stuck" on the accumulated poo theory as the basis of all disease including but not limited to diabetes, cancer, ulcers, etc.)
First of all, a chiropractor has NOT been to medical school. They do NOT have an MD. Homeopaths are usually along the same line.
The best way to determine if you have a parasite or some other infection is to go to a REAL Medical Doctor and get a stool sample, etc. done. They will use REAL medical testing (like looking at your stool under a microscope or doing a culture to determine the problem.
Good Luck!
your realy stupid to drink such water
Do an intestinal/parasite cleanse. Go to a health food store. They'll help you.
Pressure in the lower belly is cased by the distension and problems with the large bowel or pelvic organs. So many different conditions can cause symptoms in the same area. So please see a real doctor so that your problem can be diagnosed.
Go to a Gastrologist ( a doctor who specializes in stomach disorders) and let them do some tests. They can help you. Good luck!
I had this problem yesterday, I went to the Emergency Room and they told me it was one of three things:*If you are a girl it could be menustration pains
*You are not hydrated enough and your intestines are trying to pass through to the other side
*you could have a thing called appendisitisTry jumping up and down if you start hurting really bad then go to an emergency room right now because if you wait too long( and I am not kidding), your appendix can actually BLOW UP!Your appendix doesn't really do anything for your body but one of the symptoms of appendicitis is that your sides will hurt.BADLY!
if you are still experiencing this i recommend you go back to the doc. even if you don't have any other symptoms you could have some sort of abdominal peritonitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc, which require further examination. It probably doesn't have to do with the water you drank since this was in 2006 and most bacterias and parasites/viruses cause other symptoms such as diarrea, nausea, abdominal cramps, flu like symptoms not just abdominal pressure. and you would have probably become symptomatic a long time ago.i would recommend that you go back to the doc, as ascites and abdominal pressure/inflammation can be symptoms of a more serious condition.
Its possible that you drank water contaminated with Giardia.
This is the most common parasitical infection of this type.
The diagnosis is through stool sample. Treatment is with a drug called Flagyl. It can remain in the system for a long time, if not treated, and can have flares followed by a remission of symptoms. Talk to your doctor about this possibility.
Have you asked your doctor to refer you to a gastroenterologist specialist? It might be also be stress related. See a specialist!

Prescribed a swish and swallow medication explain?
medications are benadryl, Nysatin,prelon
Answer:
The medication has different meds to treat your symptoms. By swishing it coats the entire area of the mouth and by swallowing you are getting the medication internally to also combat the symptom. Benadryl is an antihistimine Nystatin is for oral cavity fungal infections and Prelone is a corticosteroid used to treat severe allergies, arthritis, asthma, and skin conditions.
A swish and swallow medicine is exactly as it is. Swish around in your mouth, then swallow. usually given for thrush, mouth sores...ect.
Never heard of this, but my guess is that your mouth absorbs medication often much faster than that which is swallowed. That is why heart patients put nitroglycerin under the tongue. Acts very rapidly.

Pregnant and not curable?
ok any disease for a mother as far as warts, herpes and any other disease thats not curable, are supose to have c-section right? so if the mother does a vaginal what are the chances for the baby? will the baby have it?
Answer:
As a healthcare provider I can tell you that you are a little misinformed about this. These conditions are not an automatic condition for a c-section. Herpes that is not in "outbreak" during the time of labor and delivery is usually OK for a vaginal delivery. (And also the opinion of the attending midwife or doctor)Warts are variable depending on the size and location. HIV does not warrent a c-section either. So this question is actually a very individual thing.depends on the person.the specific disease.other diseases existing...so ask your healthcare provider.
These r questions you should ask a doctor, ob-gyn. I know this is a message board, but 1/2 of these people r not experts. there r a few who will give u informative web-sites 2 visit. good luck ..
ask yr dr
I'm not a gynecologist but I'll take a look. lol
I have HPV. Genetile warts. I thought I was going to have to have a C-section as well, my OB/GYN kind of laughed. He told me that the baby will not come in direct contact with the disease. I don't have warts anymore and I only had a few. But you always carry the virus. As far as Herpes I cannot honestly answer that.
I have HPV associated with genital warts and when I got pregnant I did take the c-section option. It lowers the babies risk of contracting the STD. I also do not alow my now 3 year old daughter to use certain towles in the house even if they have been washed I never let her drink after me and she is not allowed in my bed under the covers. Just as extra precautionairy measures. If you do have an STD your doctor should know about it so he can make an informed decision WITH YOU on the best options for you and your unborn child.

Pregnancy or flu help?!?
this wed. i found out i was pregnant. that day i was at the ER with my husband b/c he had some kind of virus. im not sure if i caught some of what he had or this is how im going to feel being pregnant. my body is aching really bad and im very worn down. ive never been pregnant before so im not sure what to expect. any advice?!
Answer:
First of all, congratulations! Not on the flu but on the baby!Being very tired is a sign of early pregnancy, but body aches are generally not. What are your husband's symptoms? If yours are the same you should see your doctor right away.Don't self medicate during pregnancy as even the most innocuous thing, even herbal remedies, can have negative effects during pregnancy.You might want to get your husband taking an immune supplement so that he stays healthy during your pregnancy and doesn't pass stuff on to you. Try Immune Alert -- it's an all-natural immune booster my family takes. Go to www.immunealert.com and get a free sample (you pay shipping). Again, you should check with your doctor before taking but it will be great for your husband!
well did u take a test?

Prednisone question?
It is a stereoid presribed with my antibiotics for my strep throat, it says (take 3 tablets by mouth for 4 days)...sorry i may just be really fatigued and cant think properly but does this mean take 3 in a row or take 1 every 8 hours or so?
Answer:
YOU NEED TO CALL YOUR PHYSICIAN and ask this question, they prescribed it to you. Don't be embarassed, it's better to be sure about these things.
take 3 tabs means 1 tab every 8 hours
3 a day--for four days
call your pharmaicst who filled your prescrition as they can tell you that.
You could take them all at once but if they upset your stomach you could split the dose up.
What is the mg prescribed? I am surprised that you were prescribed steroids for strep. Please call a pharmacy for dosing instructions, if you cannot call the doctor. Feel better soon!
When I had to take a synthetic form of prednisone that was in a 7 day pack and got to where I had to take 3 tablets I took it one 3 times a day.I would recommend double checking with your pharmacist to see what they say.
I've been on prednisone twice in the last 3 months for sinus infections. My doctor had a dosage chart for me to follow. I was also on what they call a "5 day dose pack" prescibed by my surgeon for inflammation in my shoulder. The dose pack had specifci times to take it. Usually, it's best to spread the doses out which helps keep it more level in your system. However, doctor knows best. I'd double check for reassurance.
Please call the pharmacy, I will tell you why. Prednisone and other coricosteroids are usually taken in divided doses. It is important because although Prednisone is a great drug and will rally help your throat taken wrongly it could have side effects like damage your kidneys. Also you do not state the dose in mgs. Prednisone if taken in sufficent dose has to be tailed off and nto stopped abruptly, again it would be detrimental to your system. So calle the pharmacy or the doctor and ask how he wants you to take them, and if you need to reduce the dose to withdraw from them. These are not stupid questions, it is stupid that this has not been made clear to you.
One every 8 hours not 3 in a row. i have been on predisone several times..
la .pretencion es UN noninflammatory potent Peri darning a largo plaza para Laos Rianon's.
most likely that is meant to be take 3 tabs at once each day . mostly in the morning . however if you have a question about the meds then call the pharmacy that gave them to you.
prednisone is one that can be complicated and involved different amounts each day as it is often started at one dose and then less and less each day .
i suggest you call the pharmacist
Take all three tablets once a day for three days.I would suggest that you take them first thing in the morning, prednisone tends to wind you up, give you loads of energy. If you take it before bed, you might not be able to sleep.

You could take them all at once but if they upset your stomach you could split the dose up.
What is the mg prescribed? I am surprised that you were prescribed steroids for strep. Please call a pharmacy for dosing instructions, if you cannot call the doctor. Feel better soon!
When I had to take a synthetic form of prednisone that was in a 7 day pack and got to where I had to take 3 tablets I took it one 3 times a day.I would recommend double checking with your pharmacist to see what they say.
I've been on prednisone twice in the last 3 months for sinus infections. My doctor had a dosage chart for me to follow. I was also on what they call a "5 day dose pack" prescibed by my surgeon for inflammation in my shoulder. The dose pack had specifci times to take it. Usually, it's best to spread the doses out which helps keep it more level in your system. However, doctor knows best. I'd double check for reassurance.
Please call the pharmacy, I will tell you why. Prednisone and other coricosteroids are usually taken in divided doses. It is important because although Prednisone is a great drug and will rally help your throat taken wrongly it could have side effects like damage your kidneys. Also you do not state the dose in mgs. Prednisone if taken in sufficent dose has to be tailed off and nto stopped abruptly, again it would be detrimental to your system. So calle the pharmacy or the doctor and ask how he wants you to take them, and if you need to reduce the dose to withdraw from them. These are not stupid questions, it is stupid that this has not been made clear to you.
One every 8 hours not 3 in a row. i have been on predisone several times..
la .pretencion es UN noninflammatory potent Peri darning a largo plaza para Laos Rianon's.
most likely that is meant to be take 3 tabs at once each day . mostly in the morning . however if you have a question about the meds then call the pharmacy that gave them to you.
prednisone is one that can be complicated and involved different amounts each day as it is often started at one dose and then less and less each day .
i suggest you call the pharmacist
Take all three tablets once a day for three days.I would suggest that you take them first thing in the morning, prednisone tends to wind you up, give you loads of energy. If you take it before bed, you might not be able to sleep.
Prednisone for poison ivy + weight gain?
My doctor prescribed Prednisone 10mg tablets to clear my poison ivy. I have to take the medicaton for 12 days as follows: 4 tablets daily for 3 days, then 3 tablets daily for 3 days, then 2 tablets daily for 3 dys, then 1 tablet daily for 3 days. I have read that weight gain is a side effect of Prednisone. With the amount of miligrams I am taking, will weight gain really be a factor? I do not want to gain any weight from this medication, and the doctor told me I will not gain any weight. Is this true?
Answer:
I've taken prednisone for poison ivy reactions and didn't gain weight. You don't take it long enough to have that side effect. You only take the full dose for a couple weeks until the allergic reaction resolves then you taper off. People can gain weight but it's people who have to take it for longer periods for more chronic conditions.
No, weight gain is for long term use, that is why the doctor is eliminating a pill a day to wean you off of it.
hey, i just got put on the same thing and i am really curious about that too. mine is for 8 days though. I am on day 3 today. so far i have not gained weight, have you? i am trying to stay very active, like walking 2 miles every morning and such. good luck.

Prednisone and Drinking?
I was just (monday) prescribed prednisone for poison oak on my face. If i stop taking on friday for the weekend is partying and drinking ok? I am taking 4 pills/day for a few days then down to 3 pills/day and so on...
Answer:
Prednisone is not something that you can take whenever you feel like it. It's also a drug that has to be stopped gradually, which is why your dose is tapered by one pill per day. Drink when you're finished with the medicine. Prednisone is not something that should be played with.
You might also put on 30 to 40 lbs with this stuff It does fuild retention, then try to get rid of it

Prednisone and anxiety depression?
My father has Emphysema, has been on 40mg Pred. for months now, and his new Dr is weaning him off 20mg at a time over the next couple of weeks, he says he feels horrible, no energy, depressed and anxious, anyone have any input for me?
Answer:
WOW! I have never heard of dropping so quickly before. I was weaned down to 15 mg. and have a difficult time getting to 10 mg. Yesterday my doctor made me go to 10 mg. for 30 days. Then I am sure he will attempt dropping to 5 mg. for 30 days in hopes I can do it and be rid of the Prednisone until I get sick again. I take Xanax for my anxiety and I could not live without it. My pulmonary doctor does not believe in that either. I get it from my primary care doctor. My pulmonary doctor's attitude is, "live with it." I don't like him much. I feel very badly for your dad. I know what he is experiencing. I think that drop is way too much to expect from anyone with emphysema. I couldn't do it.
prednisone sucks. I take it pretty often for Cystic Fibrosis. When you have been on high doses like that and weaning off your body doesn't know how to react and its almost like withdrawals. His dr is right about the riding it out but he should only be dropping like 5 mg every couple weeks not 20. that could be the problem right there. His dr should consider going at a slower pace.
I agree. 40 to 20 mg is a big drop. He needs to be slowly weaned off. Ultimately your dr is right, the withdrawal symptoms have to be ridden out.
I had one Dr start me oon 70 mg of predisone, weened me off 10 mg per week down to 10 mg, My pulmanologist made the final doses of 5 mg I found that they gave me too many meds for emphysema. I weaned my self off from all but 2 drugs and began to feel better I do only spiriva for long term and asmenex for wheezing with albuterol as a resuce drug hth

Prednisone (steroid) question.PLEASE HELP!?
I was put on 60mg of prednisone (steroids) for three days, for an accidental chlorine inhalation, however because of the severe heartburn, I took two yesterday and am supposed to take one today (doctors suggestion). My question/fear is I have been reading that stopping steroids can cause real problems. Please let me know if anyone else has been on steroids for a short time and if they had any physical symptoms stopping them. I read that it can even cause death. P.S. I SUFFER FROM PANIC ATTACKS, SO I AM NERVOUS ENOUGH ANYWAY :)
Answer:
Relax, worrying is not going to help. But you mentioned something that is very important with Prednisone.
You said "I took two yesterday and am supposed to take one today (doctors suggestion)." When you take Prednisone either for short or a long time the key is not to stop them SUDDENLY you must wean your self off of them, and it sounds like that's what your doctor suggested cause today you are just going to take one tab. You are being weaned off of them, do you see that?
You will be fine.
NO HUNNY YOURE OK BUT ALLWAYS REMEMBER TO FOLLOW DOCS ORDERS
Short courses of steroids should not be a problem. Its when you take it for a long time (weeks or months) that you may have problems when you stop suddenly.
No you will be OK. I had to take almost 2 months worth just a few months ago for a major bronchitis infection.I took them all and when they were done it had no ill effect on me.
Short dose steriods are very effictive and safe for what the Dr has prescribed them for - if you are having heartburn take with milk and a slice of bread - also take tums. you should take them - the full 7 or 14 days that was perscribed. Mostly because what they were prescribed for is to keep the inflamation down in your lungs so that they will have time to heal without you getting more serious problems. I have asthma and have been on and off them since I was about 15 - when the asthma gets out of control then I have to do a short burst 7 - 14 days. Please know that there are better ways to deal with the heartburn than stoppign the prednisone. Try to keep on them - its only a few days... and like I said take with milk to mask the taste and coat your tummy - also take with a slice of bread - again to give your tum something else to work on. If you still have heartburn - turn to the old fave -- chewable tums... Good luck to you - stick with it - it will be better for your lungs that sustained the damage during your accident.Also a note - stop reading all the possible side effects - it will give you them everytime --- also who wouldn't panic if you ever read all the things they have to list that anything can maybe ever possibly do to you .
Dont worry yourself over three days worth of steroids!! Problems only occur for people who rely on steroids long term and even then there are not huge problems in every case, only some people have problems. I am on a steroid nasal spray which is a long term thing and have NEVER had any problems when I've ran out of it or forgotten to take it for a while. I have also taken steroid medications for my sinuses which are probably similar to the medications you are taking now and I have never had any ill effects from them. I am curious how you inhaled chlorine in the first place.do you have a swimming pool you were treating? I hope things are better for you soon but dont let this make you nervous!
It's important to take the steroids as proscribed by the doctor. There is a set schedule, and it's important not to vary the time table.Don't take the pills on an empty stomach. Steroids can make you nauseated and constipated so eat lots of fiber and drink water.If you have more questions, call and speak to a nurse in the doctor's office.
Thats normal Start with 40 to 60 mg then taper down to 5 or 10
My young son took Prednisone for asthma that got out of hand. He has used it maybe 4 times in his 12 years. He didn鈥檛 have any side effects. The only thing they told me is if he needed surgery for a year after taking it, make sure the doctors know. I do not remember why. It does make your heart race so if you need to calm down, you may want to ask your doctor or nurse if there is something over the counter you can take. I had a nurse practitioner that was helping me with my anxiety tell me to take a dose of Benadrl for an instant calming. It may make you drowsy and I would check with doctors first, to make sure that is ok to mix the two meds. Breathing deep and holding it for 5 seconds about 10 times does wonders too. Breathe in and out slowly and fill your lungs all the way.
I've used oral Prednisone from the time I was 14 until 35 (I'm 47 now and use Advair Diskus instead without any problem). But I was a chronic and severe asthmatic and back then I had to take large doses of Prednisone sometimes. I've heard every horror story of prednisone imaginable, but you know what? I never had longterm disasterous results from taking large doses and weaning off slow, or suffered any problems with my bone density, nor any stomach/intenstinal problems. The last time I had to take oral prednisone was 2 years ago when I had a bronchial infection and it was for 3 days and I simply forgot to take the 3rd days dose and it didn't cause any problem. What Prednisone does cause problems for me is in my mental health area. I have Bipolar Disorder and it can trigger immediate and severe manic attacks, so my doctor doesn't like to prescribe it unless absolutely necessary. Anyway, I have tapered off it very slowly and also just stopped suddenly and I am still alive and fine. I think you'll be okay. Doctors don't have every answer, you know.

Preauricular sinuses (hole on ear)?
Um I have a question on Preauricular sinuses
I checked it up online and am not really sure what it is
Some sources say that it's a hole on a certain part of the ead, and if so, I have one too. It's been there for probably 15-16 years already, and I'm guessing it's from birth
However, I got really creeped out when I see all the infections...
I am a little scared, despite the fact that the hole hasn't been affecting me at all, except for occasional itchiness.If possible, would someone who's had experience, or know about it please help me? I don't know know what to do with it, and am wondering if it's fatal or hurtful/burdensome in any way?
Answer:
A preauricular sinus occurs is a congenital malformation that occurs due to an incomplete fusion of the branchial clefts (these are different segments that make up your face and ears). A sinus is basically a blind ending pouch. Therefore it is a route through which fluid and bacteria can accumulate and this can result in an infection. It is not fatal and if it has not been bothering you it is fine. However if there is some discharge or rash or redness, go see your doctor. It is associated with recurrent infections and can be surgically removed as well.

Pre diabetic?
I am over wieght and my doctors says that I am my way of being type 2 diabetic... How long until I am diabetic and what exact food should I avoid. I had by sugar tested and they said it was high. just wondering how long I will l last if I dont change
thanks.I am tired all the time I get wierd feelings in my arm and legs (numbness) I also get horrible headaches (migranes) with a whomp whomp in my ears...
thanks
Answer:
My thoughts are for you to find a doc who will guide you thru this. Maybe the one you have but certainly one who knows diabetes.Then learn as much as you can about the disease-there are tons of resources. A good place to start is to study what the complications are for diabetes. If that doesn't scare you enough nothing will.While you are learning start losing weight-excercise and diet can help with that and you need to start immediately. If you are diligent and lose the weight your blood pressure will go down too. I'll bet your triglycerides are high also-find out. The more you know the better off you'll be.You have to assume the responsibilty for this yourself. It can be controlled and even reversed. Make sure you coordinate the excercise and diet with your doc. Good luck.
Sounds like you have blood pressure problems too. I would lay off the sugary foods and eat lots of good proteins unless you want to go blind or lose a limb.Exercise won't hurt either. Just ease into a good routine.
Act like it could be tomorrow and be proactive.
I found out I was at 40yo, 9 year later I am on an insulin pump
you are looking at a major life style change, not just a matter of avoiding one food or another. Diabetes, untreated and unmanaged, is a long slow painful way to go, suggest you get your butt off the denial couch and do something proactive to control your diet and your weight and get your life back. This website is as good a place as any to start:http://www.diabetes.org/home.jsp...
Your close to diabetic but you can stave it off if its not something genetic in your family. They will tell you to exercise at least 30 minutes a day 5 days a week. Then to cut back on carbs which produce sugar and sugary things.
They will tell you to increase fiber in your diet. Don't eat white food items (like white bread, white rice, cakes and cookies) use brown sugar or Splenda, use brown rice, eat high fiber wheat bread, protein and calcium items are okay.
The top of the numbers is 125 then they get worried.
Hope that helps you out!
P.S. the tiredness and numbness should go away just by tweaking your diet but they might have you go on the OneTouch2 Ulta for 90 days to monitor your blood sugar.
Watch what you eat
The headache and the "whomp whomp" sounds like high blood pressure in addition to your sugar issues. Have they been checking your blood pressure? As for your pre diabetes. You can control that now with diet and that is what you should do to prevent complications in the future. You should just eat a balanced diet of protein, fruits, veggies, dairy and carbs. Avoid overeating sweets and sugar, but remember that pasta, potatoes, breads, rice, corn and peas are also carbs. If you really want to learn what and how to eat you should contact your local health department, they will likely have a diabetes class you can take to learn more.
I don't have diabetes thankfully. had in laws that did. very rough stuff. Everyone thinks diabetes is too much sugar in the blood. Actually, its real cause is "fat in the blood". Not fat only on the body, but actual fat in the blood cells. This fat in the blood is what blocks the insulin etc. There's a M.D., Dr. Neil Barnard that has a book out. Basically you go "vegan". No more fat. No meat, milk, or cheese etc. Pretty rough diet I understand. This Dr. Barnard basically says if it's a vegetable you can eat it, if your not eating any animal products. On stuff like olive oil, and soybean oil, I don't know. You'd have to get the book.
cut out SOME carbs and start exercising. dont completely cut out all carbs because they're the main source of energy for your body
FYI-carbs are what make the blood sugar rise not the grams of sugar something has
i sufferer with type two and i do sufferer with the weight of well just like you and it is hard to tell when u will actually become diabetic. you might stay type 2 diabetic instead of becoming type 1 and then u might have tablets and you might have insulin with type 2 diabetes.
Also watch what you eat and also avoid sugar and any thing sweet. But you can have cakes and biscuit in moderation

Pray for Kaleb?
PRAY FOR BABY KALEB ~~ KEEP THIS MOVING!
Kristy Reynolds and her husband are parents to a beautiful little baby boy named Kaleb. He is 6 months and 3 days old. A couple weeks ago Kristy picked Kaleb up from home care and noticed something was wrong. She immediately took him to the hospital where he was diagnosed with Shaken Baby Syndrome. He now has meningitis in response the the surgeries on his brain, his body can't regulate his temperature, his heart rate drops every time he is moved, and he has seizures. He is also blind. His sitter shook him so hard that he is in a coma, had to have spinal fluid drained from his brain, and doctors think that if he lives he will be a vegetable for the rest of his life. Brain scans show that his brain tissue is dying and his brain is shrinking. Kristy and her husband refuse this diagnosis and pray for their little boy. I'm asking you to join them in this prayer for Kaleb.Her myspace is:

He now has meningitis in response the the surgeries on his brain, his body can't regulate his temperature, his heart rate drops every time he is moved, and he has seizures. He is also blind. His sitter shook him so hard that he is in a coma, had to have spinal fluid drained from his brain, and doctors think that if he lives he will be a vegetable for the rest of his life. Brain scans show that his brain tissue is dying and his brain is shrinking. Kristy and her husband refuse this diagnosis and pray for their little boy. I'm asking you to join them in this prayer for Kaleb.Her myspace is:
