If so, what reasons did you use HGH for?
Answer:
I have not, but I know someone who was given HGH because they were significantly lagging in their growth curves as a child. Other than that, I think it is most commonly used illicitly as an anabolic steroid.
I haven't, but its used for improper development and is sometimes used in dwarfism
no i haven't sorry better luck next time
human growth hormone. do not use HGH. your liver will thank you.

Has anyone taken Diclofenac Potassium 50mg ( Cataflam)?
I've been prescribed this medication for chronic pain (arthritis) How long does it take for the medication to become effective? What are the common side effects?
Answer:
Cataflam is a NSAID(the same drug class as ibuprofen) it should work fairly quickly. As for side effects you might expect a little bit of upset stomach. Taking the med. with food will lessen that. It could cause a little bit of drowsiness but it's not likely. Also do not take it with any of the OTC pain med such as advil or motrin or aleve.
Diclofenac potassium produce analgesic effects in one hour and antirheumatic effect about two weeks.adverse effects are nausea,discomfort,skin rash peptic ulcer.fluid retention,oedema andhepatic function impairment.
crazy, if It helps you that's great, but the stomach side effects are bad enough, motrin is better!

Has anyone suffered injuries from taking adderall (physical or mental)?
Answer:
Hey, I am a mother of a (now) teenager taking adderall.
He has been on it for years now. The only thing that I can
see is that if he misses a dose or if it runs out his anger
impulses come back - sometimes life can be very challenging
and there are a lot of people out there that do not agree with
adderall being used, but the way that I look at it is if you had
diabetes, you would treat it. ANYWAY, you didn't exactly name
the type injury that you are referring to. Was it one that occured
when the meds had worn off or was it while the meds were
active in your system? I would definately contact the DR
that prescribed it and discuss this.. Bless you %26 good luck
No not really. But one thing that happens is you start to lose the feeling of getting hungry. Sometimes you kinda pick at yourself cause you feel like something is crawling under your skin, kinda like someone on meth would do.
But really those start to go away after a few weeks. But I take adderall XR. there might be a differance between that and regular Adderall.
i know that it increases heart rates and also makes you lose weight by increasing your metabolism... also, it can make you thirsty and thus a person must drink plenty of water when taking the drug. now, these side effects do not happen to everyone, but they are known to occur...
my son had very severe facial tics so we had to switch to strattera.
Has anyone on this site ever had a positive drug test for THC or know of anyone?
Me and a buddy are having an argument. "Can THC actually be traced through urine after two weeks of sobriety?" We know what the rumors say, but does anyone actual know of a person who has tested positive after 2 weeks, and if so was this person obese?
Answer:
yes most definitely stays in your system in fact out of all drugs THC has the longest life in your system...and no I'm not overweight I'm 6-1 200 pounds about average build...and you have my personal grantee be car full not saying a little skinny guy with a high metabolism may pass it but be car full
Yeah, in urine for about a month. THC attaches to fat cells and sticks around a while. Someone with little fat could pass a test sooner than a person with more body fat.
you can most certainly test positive for THC over a month after your last use. if you are clean and use once you may be clean after a week or so, although that may be cutting it close. i know of an instance when my level actually went up during a stint of sobriety. my diet was alot of fatty foods though. daily exercise to speed up your metabolism will help you get clean faster. to be perfectly safe give yourself at least 30-35 days before a test.
Honestly, it could go either way. It is even possible to smoke once and excercise ( a lot of cardio) and drinking water and test negative in a week. A lot of things are possible. That could be difficult however

has anyone here taken chlonidine? did it work for you?
im taking my first today and im wondering if anyone else has.did it work? any side effects etc?
Answer:
Well, it's a potent antihypertensive, so it'll drop your blood pressure. So it could make you dizzy/pass out if you stand up too fast.
i'm most comfortable with with using clondine for its antihypertensive effects. although its clinical side effect of somnolence is well known and accepted it is rarely uses as as a sedative hypnotic alone without concomitant history.

recently i have went from having 4 day periods to 1 or 2 day in september my period was from the 22-24th, in october is was the 24th and in novermber i was the 24-26th all of them have been really light. i took and HPT on the 26th of november just to be sure. since then i have been getting cramps, light backaches, last night i felt like i was going to pass out, i am always tired, and sometimes i feel like i am gonna puke. I am 24 yrs old, i'm not under a lot of stress, not change in diet, not weight gain/loss, i do have unprotected sex because my boyfriend and i are ttc..i need some serious answers on this because it is scaring the hell out of me.
Answer:
well lady not a hpt are 100% u could very possibly be preg id take anoter test or 2
Can't help you, sorry. I don't get periods, and hopefully I never will.
You need to go and see a doctar straight away! You most likely have an STD but it could also be cervical cancer going by your symptoms.GO AND SEE A DOCTOR ASAP!
The stress add back aches...you need to go to a doctor about the time you passed out and the back aches, and avoid lifting things that are heavy untill adviced differently by you doctor.This could be a serious problem. Im a vergin and single and i still say that unprotected sex is bad, unless you expacting a long life together..then it ok. but you should get checked for viruses.
When my g/f was about your age and hadn't had her period yet, she'd drink a couple of beers to thin her blood and would start.
Another problem she had though was she started dieting, lost some weight quick and had the same symptoms, it was gallstones. Her mom didn't think she needed to go to the hospital/doctor but it got so bad one night that I took her to the hospital and she had to have gallstone surgery within days.
Home pregnancy test are not always accurate.Especially if it's to soon to tell.The only for sure test is a blood test which can tell you for sure if you are pregnant and how far along you are.Also If you think you could be pregnant I suggest you do go to the doctor ASAP.Becuase if yoour having pain that bad it could be tubular.The only way to know for sure is see a doctor.If not for your own well-being then at least for your own peace of mind.
this has happened to me before but it just went away
if i were u i would go straight to a doctor
it might have something to do with u having unprotected sex
Is there any familial history of endocrine/reproductive problems in your family? Ask your doctor about some hormone level tests like estrogen, luteinizing hormone, progesterone, and maybe FSH (follicle stimulating hormone). maybe one or more levels or different which may affect your periods. maybe your pituatary gland is affected. a thyroid problem may be the cause of your fatigue or poor diet.

Has anyone had plastic surgery in ont?
I'm trying to find a surgon for breast implants and a tummy tuck, Has anyone had these surgerys done in ontario or know anyone who has. I'm looking for the best doctor for these 2 specific procedures. Thank you!
Answer:
Tummy tuck or Breast Implants surgery has become very common now. My cousin got her breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift surgery in India by the company called Forerunners Healthcare .The Price for the surgery she paid in India was very less. She paid 30% of the cost she was quoted in America.Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. They arrange cosmetic and plastic surgery for foreigners in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as the breast reduction, tummy tuck, facelift and other cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.Many patients travel from United States of America and UK to get low cost surgery in India. Indian corporate hospitals are comparable to hospitals anywhere in the world. In fact, India has medical facilities that are comparable with the USA, UK and Canada. India offers World Class Medical Facilities, comparable with any of the western countries. India has state of the art Hospitals and the best medical experts. With the best infrastructure, the best possible Medical facilities, accompanied with the most competitive prices, you can get the treatment done in India at the lowest prices.http://www.forerunnershealthcare.com...
Hope this helps.
No. Good luck
your best bet would be to do your research couse there are a lot of posers out there. The truth is if the price is low so is the quality of the product. good luck

Has anyone had nu-lasik surgery?
I am thinking about getting nu-lasik surgery at northern laser vision centre in chatswood. has anyone had this? what was your experience. I am a little nervous about this, so would like some information from people that have actually had it or know someone who has.
Answer:
I've never heard of nu-lasiks so it must be pretty new. I know they are developing a microwave type of eye surgery to correct vision, but never heard of nu. A good rule of thumb is to wait a year or 2 before trying any new types of therapys like this. Dont be a ginuea pig :)
no,. i haven't had this
no what does that do? it sounds kinda scary.
My uncle had it done he had glasses for years, he liked the fact that he doesn't wear glasses anymore, but he does have to put alot of eye drops in, he says his eyes get more dry than when he had his glasses. But in all he is glad he had the surgery.
A lot of people get LASIK eye surgery as it corrects their vision and improves their lives tremendously. The LASIK procedure corrects myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism so that you won't need to wear contact lenses or eyeglasses. LASIK is a method of reshaping the external surface of the eye (the cornea) to correct low, moderate and high degrees of near-sightedness, astigmatism and far-sightedness. A complete eye assessment is required to check the patient鈥檚 suitability for LASIK. Tests include refraction, contrast sensitivity, pupil size, pupil reaction, retinal examination, tonometry and pachymetry. Other specialised treatments under the Wavefront technology include the aberrometry, topolyzer measurements, topography and tests for dry eye among others.But since LASIK is an expensive procedure in the US, many people these days opt to travel overseas for their treatment. You can get your eye surgery/treatment done in India/Singapore/Thailand and even Mexico for much less than in the US. You end up saving 60-80% even after your travel expenses and hospital stay have been paid for.However, you need to be careful about the quality of hospitals there. You must make sure that they are JCI/JCAHO/ISO accredited, which means that the hospitals meet US standards and the service provided is world-class.One such medical tourism facilitator that works only with quality hospitals abroad is Healthbase (http://www.healthbase.com). You can research about the various medical procedures, communicate with the surgeons overseas, apply for medical loans, plan and book your travel all at their website.

has anyone had lasik surgery and how much did it cost?
Answer:
Wow, I don't know where you guys are getting your quotes at or where you live, but...
I just had mine done January 2, 2007, in Omaha, Nebraska. The cost was $4200 for Custom LASIK, no blades. Standard no blade LASIK was $3600. I received a 10% discount on the Custom, so my net cost was about $3800.
I'd priced out 3 other places in Omaha prior to booking where I went. Those prices were $4000 (Custom, no blade), $3200 (no Custom blade for flap removal), and $3000 (no Custom, blade for flap removal).
If you are planning on doing it, I would definitely check to see if any health plans at your employer offer discounts or anything. Also, if you have a flex benefits program, set that money aside in that account so you can pay with tax-free dollars.
Hope that helps. It ain't cheap, but it's worth it. And I would stay away from anyone that says $250 per eye. You don't want to end up looking like a pirate.
My two eldest sisters had the procedure done and one of them told me that it was about $1,000 an eye. I think it all depends on the doctor who probably sets their own prices.
My mother had it done to her eyes. I think it cost like $2400, but that was a couple years ago, so by now it's probably a lot less. My mother's employer actually paid for a good portion of that, I think half, so that would be something to look into.
I haven't yet, but here in eastern ohio there is a dr who charges $250 per eye. I really think it depends on your dr %26 the area where you live.
It's in the general area of $1,000 per eye. Just make sure you research your doctor and keep in mind that (depending on your age),you may still end up having to wear 'reading glasses' at some point.
It usually runs about $1,000 dollars for both eyes all together but I know a few doctors that do a lifetime "fix for around $2,000, so either way you can see better, and for double the price, you can be guaranteed, permanant/consistant visual gratification right? oh, you should search around and try to get the best doctor rather than the best deal. right?
i had it done 4 yrs ago,cost then was around $2,000
Has anyone had an anuerysm and would be willing to share what it was like or knew anyone that did?
please leave your e-mail address so i could ask some questions thank you
Answer:
My grandmother dropped dead peeling potatos at 63 years old from an anuerysm in her heart. My mother and her only sister had brain anuerysms at the age of 45.(They were both 45 years old.) My aunt died within 24 hours. My mother lived because hers started to actually seal itself closed. She had brain surgery and was in an induced coma for a month after surgery.
You can email me by clicking on my profile and going to my profile page. I won't give out my email address here because I was turned in for "chatting and personal whatever" it is that you receive a violation for..I will be glad to answer any questions you might have....
Well, unless dead people are able to email, then I doubt you'll get many answers.
One of my father's friends was out fishing one day, and suddenly got a bad headache out of nowhere. He was taken ashore, and was advised to go to the hospital. He said he'll just sleep it off. He died instead of a brain aneurysm. You can contact me at Scythian@aol.com.

Has anyone had a positive experience,taking the antipsychotic :haldol?
Please feel free to elaborate.What were the good and bad?And Have you ever taken haldol in conjunction with other drugs like seroquel?
Answer:
Yeah - I was in the hospital and they gave me a shot of Haldol to calm me down - wheh - It did! Good stuff.But it was only one time.Never tried seroquel.
As a paramedic, I've had positive experiences GIVING Haldol (haloperidol). It's a pretty strong antipsychotic drug. We use it for patients with extreme behavioral problems.
They give it to you right before they tie you up.
seroquel is a weight gainer drug!!even in small doses.

Has anyone had a doctor prescribe Erythromycin oral liquid to your child? I filled a prescription today for my
little 2 month girl and the pharmacist said he had to divide the amount for some reason, and now I am fearing the dosage might be wrong. He calculated it to be at .78 per dosage every 6 hours is this the right dosage? the pharmacy is now closed, it was a local one at the Medical building.
Answer:
The amount prescribed is appropriate for your daughter's age, weight and infection. The dosage is 30-50mg/kg/day in divided doses. The upper limit for your daughter would be 68.75mg 4 times a day. The dose prescribed is 62.4mg 4 times a day, which is within normal limits. This medication is available in drops, but using the 400mg/5ml suspension is OK and allows a smaller volume of fluid for your daughter to swallow. To lessen your fears, erythromycin is a very forgiving drug when it comes to dosing. The most common side effects are stomach/GI-related, such as vomiting or diarrhea. Call your doctor if this occurs.I hope your baby gets well soon.Rick the PharmacistRick the Pharmacist
More than likely the doctor calculated the wrong dosage, and the pharmacist had to fix it. That is a fairly common event. The pediatric dose is about 7.5-12.5mg per kilogram every 6 hours. The dosage looks fine.

Has anyone had a bone marrow transplant or know someone who has had one.I just want to know how it went?
I had one when i was six and i'm doing fine now. I have childhood onset cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy. In fact I would say I'm a prettty strange case. I should be loosing brain cells , but i'm not, lucky me. I had mine done in Minnesota, and I live in Wisconson. I just want to know how it went for you or them
Answer:
Do you want to know the trueth? My grandfather is no longer living, he had something like that. Your young so..I hope you make it
I don't know if you have ever seen the movie Lorenzo's oil, but it is about a young child who had ALD. Sadly ALD is a horrible disease, and you are very fortunate that you are doing ok! There are many conditions treated with bone marrow transplants, particularly leukemias, lymphomas, and myelomas.
Well.. I work in an Oncology hospital and I get to see folks get bone marrow transplants as well as HCPT (stem cell) transplants. I've watched folks sail through it like troopers and walk out.
Some don't. I've seen where the HLA type was a great match, and the graft never took, and times where the HLA type was an OK match and the person took up the graft and made great recovery.Leukemias, Lymphomas, Myelomas are very ugly diseases.
They do not play by the rules, and play no favorites.Count yourself lucky.

has anyone gotten headaches while taking topamax??
Answer:
No, I haven't gotten any from taking it. I take 75 -100 mg every night before bed to help prevent migraines the NEXT day. If I get a headache the next day I have Relpax which, IMO, is a wonder drug - I have never taken anything better than that - besides aspirin (unfortunately aspirin burned a hole in my deodenum and I almost died!).Have your doctor give you script for Relpax (they will only give you about 6 - 10 pills /month), and if you get a headache - whish - it's gone!
If you're taking Topamax for migraines, then yes you can still get migraines on Topamax. The purpose of taking it is to reduce the frequency and severity. That is by no means a guarantee that you won't get one during treatment.It reduced mine significantly, but I also can't feel my fingers or toes, food tastes freaky, and I feel like the village idiot for a few hours after taking it. I stopped taking it because the side effects were more annoying than the migraines. But while I was taking it, they were reduced, but not ocmpletely cured.
Has anyone gone to University of Maryland School of Nursing or Medicine?
I want to go to medical school and become a trauma surgeon, obviously after I graduate from high school and college. I'm pretty sure I want to go to nursing school for my undergrad, so I at least have nursing to fall back on if I don't get into medical school. I have been doing some research and I've found that I am particularly interested in University of Maryland, mainly because of their world-renowned R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center. So my question is... Has anyone on ByeDR been through either school? What did they think of it? Were you exposed, at all, to the Program in Trauma? And last but not least.Do you live in the state of Maryland? I live in Michigan, and I want to know if it is worth moving for. Thank you and God Bless!
Answer:
I am a graduate of the University of MD School of Medicine. During medical school, we got no exposure to Shock Trauma at all. I also did my residency there for anesthesiology, and spent 1 month in the neuro ICU out of the 3 year residency.I think the surgical residents spent more time there, especially the ortho guys.It may be different now, because I haven't been there since 1993. We got plenty of trauma at University, though. Weekend call could be full of gunshot wounds, stabbings and drunk guys being hit by cars. Ahhhh... life in the big city!Maryland is nice. I was born and raised there, so it's home to me. The hospital is not in a great part of town, but it is in a better part of town than Hopkins is.

For starters, I didn't go to Univ of Maryland, but I know a little about the process of becoming a trauma surgeon.You will likely find it harder to get into UMD since it is a state funded school and you are coming from out of state. But don't let that stop you. Just realize that it isn't that important to go there. And also know that just because you went to UMD is not a guarantee that you will get into the fellowship there.As for becoming a trauma surgeon, it would be more important to get into Maryland after you have graduated medical school and completed your surgical residency. Once you complete those two things you can go into fellowship (further specialization).Trauma surgeons are made one of two ways. One is to do a trauma fellowship which allows you to call yourself a trauma surgeon. The other, more versatile path (which is the one I chose), is to do a surgical critical care fellowship. This allows you to do both trauma and critical care. Both of the fellowships are an additional year. Some people go overboard and do both, but it is not required. Both critical care and trauma fellowships are available at UMD.In selecting your residency, I would suggest to you that you find a program that is closely affiliated with a Level I trauma center. This is basically any large urban university hospital. You will likely get an adequate exposure to trauma care there and will allow you to determine if it is really for you or not. The path to trauma is also a long one that will test your resolve at every turn. First, most people will change their minds as to what they want to do for residency two or three times during medical school alone. So it鈥檚 a difficult decision to do surgery in the first place. Once in residency, people often change their minds again. Most students like the sound of "Trauma Surgeon", but start to shy away from it when they realize the work involved and realize that it isn't a very nice lifestyle and many abandon the path. I don't want to try to scare you; I just want you to go in with your eyes open.As for nursing: I don't think that you will find that having a nursing degree is any advantage to getting into medical school. But backup plans are good, mine was to do a PhD in chemistry.Just work hard, do well in _all_ of your classes, but especially in chem, orgo, physics and any biology classs. Study extremely hard for the MCAT to maximize your chances. But don't forget most schools are looking for a well rounded student, so get out there and get involved. Be a volunteer or help out in a charitable cause. It is also very helpful to be leader at your school. They wil both help you to get into med school, but will also help you in the long run.Good luck.
Answer:
I am a graduate of the University of MD School of Medicine. During medical school, we got no exposure to Shock Trauma at all. I also did my residency there for anesthesiology, and spent 1 month in the neuro ICU out of the 3 year residency.I think the surgical residents spent more time there, especially the ortho guys.It may be different now, because I haven't been there since 1993. We got plenty of trauma at University, though. Weekend call could be full of gunshot wounds, stabbings and drunk guys being hit by cars. Ahhhh... life in the big city!Maryland is nice. I was born and raised there, so it's home to me. The hospital is not in a great part of town, but it is in a better part of town than Hopkins is.

has anyone experienced weight gain when taking Paxil CR ?
Answer:
Paxil CR is an "SSRI" (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor)...and, as a whole, these types of drugs do promote an increased appetite (and possible weight gain.)
Oh yeah. and it has been very hard to get that weight off.
Has anyone ever tried some CDs that are labeled to "stimulate human growth hormone production"? Is it a scam?
Just saw it on ebay, CD labeled "Quantum Subliminal Matrix Technology鈩?(QSMT)" and it supposedly has subliminal messages to make your brain produce more hgh, scam? Just curious. ^_~
Answer:
Somebody makes a huge scientific discovery like that, but uses it to sell CD's on eBay instead of announcing it in respectable scientific journals? I rather doubt it.There's some data to support the idea that subliminal messages can affect your thoughts or behavior in small ways. However, there's never been any evidence that they could directly affect any sort of chemical in your brain, particularly not human growth hormone.It'll be interesting to see if this comes up during some drug testing debacle in sports. :-) "No, I'm not taking steroids, it must be a side effect of this CD I've been listening to..."
S C A M
Yes, its a scam. The pituitary gland which creates growth hormone cannon be stimutated to produce it. The only thing to replace low or no growth hormone is growth hormone injections.

has anyone ever taken a hair drug test? if so tell me about it.?
I have to take one today and i have use some cleaning products, but i'm curious about how it works and how to pass. i have been clean for a month and a half but before was an occaional user of pot.
Answer:
The hair test is much more thorough than the standard piss test.Basically, as the THC is absorbed into your body, it exits through your hair follicles and becomes trapped in your hair. It's been some time since my last hair test, but it seems the THC will remain in your hair for up to three months. That should vary from person to person.The special shampoo basically strips your hair raw, removing any trace amounts of THC that would otherwise remain. I did the hair test twice, about 7 years ago now, and the special shampoo helped me pass with flying colors.Whatever you do, don't cut your hair super-short or shave your head. Fingernails are essentially a different type of hair (in so many words), and if the technicians can't get a good hair sample, they will take your fingernails, and you'll be screwed.
The hair test is very rare indeed. you must be applying for a prestigous position. i'd be interested to what that would be if you could provide a little more info. also that hair test is infallible there is no fooling it. and it keeps a record of anything you've done for, i'm told, 7 years. however it seems more likely the record is directly proportional to the length of your hair i.e. a 3 year growth would hold a 3 year record. regardless im sure that the pot will show up.

has anyone ever heard of a product called curlex and if so can you buy this product anywhere?
I was a medic in the military and we used it to patch bullet holes. it is a gauze like material and we you stuffed it in hole it expaned and sealed the hole and stopped the bleeding
Answer:
Kerlex - is a type of gauze that you can wrap around an arm/leg. There is a product that has iodine infused through it that can be used to pack wounds that are being allowed to heal without stitches. I'm sorry, I can't think of the name of it - what we use has gauze about one inch wide, comes wrapped into a roll in a brown bottle.
There is also a product called Gelfoam that can be used to absorb blood to facilitate clotting. When I worked in the nursery, we used it to help stop a circ from bleeding.
I would think any of them could be found in a comprehensive pharmacy.
Hope some of that helps!
Kerlix can be found at WalMart.
Curlex is used on ambulances in my area. It comes in a roll like gauze, however it adheres to itself so the use of tape is not necessary to hold it in place. It can be found/ordered through any medical supply company. We carry it on our ambulance to hold IV tubing and catheters in place on the very sweaty or very combative. Ours is a very pretty bright blue :-)
You may be thinking of iodoform tape. This is specifically for stuffing into holes that may be infected. It absorbs destructive exudate/blood and therefore hastens healing time. It is also slightly moist, so it doesn't rip out newly forming tissue. Then the curlex is applied.Hope this helps.

Has anyone ever heard of a Greenfield Filter leg breaking off and becoming embedded somewhere else in the body
Answer:
Yes.Please see my other post. The second reference makes note of it as a known complication (altough exceedingly rare).If the filter does fracture it will in all likely hood become stuck in the lungs or heart. The treatment would be retervial through an endovascular procedure (done by an interventional radiologist) and failing that you would nbend up with a very significant surgery.http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...
No, but that's scary. My 22 year old son has one, and so does my mother.
Has anyone ever had gallbladder surgery? Enlighten me please.?
Answer:
Here is my answer from a similar question:First, about 25% of the population have gallstones. Only about 2% have problems with acute cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder). Of those 2%, most will be referred for surgery which is mostly curative.The common practice is to remove the gallbladder laparoscopically. The procedure consists of four small incisions: a 10-12mm incision in made in the bellybutton (umbilicus) and a camera is inserted. Then another 10 mm port is placed to the left side of the xypoid process (the most inferior portion of the sternum or breastbone). Two more 5 mm ports are placed below the rib cage on the right.The operation usually takes 45 min to 2 hours. In addition some surgeons will do an "intraoperative choleangiogram" - this is a study where the shoot dye into the biliary tract and look for trapped stones. If they find them, the will either retrieve them (common bile duct exploration) or refer you for an ERCP (endoscopic retrograde choleangio-pancreatography) where the sedate you, place a scope in your mouth and open the duct that connect the biliary tract with the digestive tract or small bowel.The standard is that patients either go home 8-12 hours after the operation or more likely the next day. You will likely be able to do light house work for the next two week. Most people are out of work 2-4 weeks while they heal. You will not be able to drive while you are on pain medications.On occasion the procedure can not be completed or even attempted via the camera. This requires an "open" procedure. This is a much more painful procedure with a longer recovery. Typically it is about 50% longer then the laparoscopic surgery.While you will not generally have any additional dietary restrictions, most patients find that they will have trouble (i.e. abdominal pain) if the consume a meal rich in fat the first few weeks after surgery. For some, they are never able to tolerate fatty meals, but most do.Gallbladders themselves don't explode from gallstones. Unless they become infected (gangrenous gallbladder) you typically just have intermittent pain until the gallbladder is removed.Despite surgery, it is possible for stone to form in the hepatic ducts. This is a difficult problem to resolve since the gallbladder is already gone. This is usually treated with ERCP as needed. Sometimes medications can help, but this is a rare occurrence.
Original question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...
I have never had it, but I saw a gallbladder surgery today. The one I saw, the doctors didn't open up the patient. They can make small incisions and use a small camera to guide them in the surgery. It is called Laparoscopic surgery and it is minimally invasive.
Has anyone ever had cosmetic surgery done by Dr Shailesh magabhai patel at Transform in Manchester UK?
has anyone had a rhinoplasty or any other cosmetic sugery performed by Dr Shailesh Patel fromTransform medical group, in Manchester UK. If you have can you please give me some feedback thanks.
Answer:
If this guy is a properly-trained, eithical surgeon, then he'll want to have a consultation with you to make sure that you're skin is suitable for the surgery. For example, fair skin apparently scars quite badly (apparently) so if this is a medically proven fact, and you have fair skin then he will warn against you undergoing the operation. But if he does not arrange a consultation with you and is content to just talk to you on the day of the operation, then don't let him near you! That is bad practice.
THE BLOKE WITH 5 BALLS DID
Is that the same guy who owns the Taj Mahal curry house on Regents rd? I wondered where he got his meat from!
Blimey!
Its not rhinoplasty you need, its something to stop you asking the same question over and over and over and over
Cosmetic surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift surgery in India by the company called Forerunners Healthcare .The Price for the surgery she paid in India was very less. She paid 30% of the cost she was quoted in America.Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. They arrange cosmetic and plastic surgery for foreigners in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as the breast reduction, tummy tuck, facelift and other cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.http://www.forerunnershealthcare.com...

Has anyone ever had cosmetic ear surgery?
I think its called otoplasy or something. Wondering how old yu where, how long it took you to recover (able to go back to work), happy with results...?? Thanks
Answer:
hi, my name is dumbo and i had big ears so i ghad them removed, but now i cant hear $hit..
i was a proffesional movie critict but i got fired so now im back at the circus workin for peanuts(not kiddin)
%26#92;stay away from the oktowplasmatanatic surgery if you want to have a future.
just use an old trick, buy gigantic earmuffs and wearthem in the summer!
nooo way,do u know how dangerous that is
I assisted at one a few years back. It is usually an outpatient procedure. You can go back to work the next day. It is very satisfying to patients who have been ridiculed for having big ears. Patients are definitely happy. First ask yourself, though, do I really need it? It is very rare that a person has undesirable ears. What you may find unattractive may actually look quite normal to others.

Has anyone ever had a doctor touch them in the "wrong way"? I have but don't wanna talk about it...
Answer:
No, I haven't, however, wasn't there a nurse in the room w/ the dr?? There has always been a nurse in the room when I was w/ a male dr. (at the hospital after having my son, at the dentist, GP and gyno, even the emergency room)With whom do you not want to talk about it? Us? Your friends, your family? A therapist?? If you are mentally healthy enough to know it had nothing to do with you, and that you are not at fault, I see no reason to have to talk about it. If for any reason you are fealing ANY form of guilt, then yes, you NEED to talk about it, because keeping inside will only compound the problem and maybe create problems for yourself later on, whether noticable or not. There is no reason to have to talk about it to family or friends. If they are pressuring you to talk about it, then they are being selfish. You need to talk about it w/ someone you feel comfortable with. Find a lisenced therapist (psychologist or psychotherapist..not simply a social worker). Most health insurance companies cover therapy (under Mental Health). Someone who can offer an objective point of view. Find a therapist w/ whom you feel comfortable with. It is OK to switch therapists if the first 1 or 2 or even 3 just aren't doing it for you. However, don't go to a therapist that tells you what you want to hear, because inside you know what is right and what isnt'. Remember, you have to go thru the pain to get to the other side. ;) Good luck and I'm glad you reported him! Pooey on him! ps---I just had a dream about this 2 nights ago.very weird that I am reading this post right now.
Nope
Yeah. You're not just out for juicy stores at all, eh?
then why did you post the question?
not me.but you should report the doctor.just think how many others you may be helping just by doing the right thing.
ok, bad for you , I've never been molested, I've gotten ??? many times, what cheers me up, is when they throw the money at me!!hell yeah!
Then why are you mentioning it... and to answer your question... no.
No i have not. I hate going to the doctor's office and i'm an adult.
I did. My doctor was a hot 30 yr old woman and when I visited her to explain that the skin around my helmet was hurting, she massaged it for me. First time I ever got intimate with a woman.
No, but if I were you I'd get a lawyer and sue. I would NOT go to him or her again! Plus, if you don't report them, they might be doing it to other patients too! Take 'em down! They are a disgrace to their profession! Stay away from them, and don't go back, or they might try even worse next time. If this is bothering you, you can go on chatrooms online too for support. Good luck!
If you don't want to talk about it, then don't post about it.
um... yeah... i was 7 and this doctor at philadelphia's children hospital was checking for my pulse... somewhere... down there... so yeah. no more details...
I'm really sorry that happened to you. That sucks. This is a person you're supposed to be able to trust. I'm glad you reported him. I think it would help though if you would talk about with someone you know, maybe even a counselor.
Nope
I personally Never Have Been, Nor Have I Ever Done So, to me it is an Abuse of Power, Not that I Think it Couldn't Happen, but Something Benign may Be Seen By the Patient as Malignant.

I felt extreamly nausiated and like the entire world just kinda bent and flattend. I didn't know what to do with myself so I ran outside and everything was just so like blended all the colors of like kinda sworled together in this like huge mass of everything. Then after the rush everything seemed to be more alive. Everything seemed to be connected.

Has anyone ever experienced this strange heart issue?
After I eat a large meal, my heart feels like it begins skipping.
Answer:
I had tachicardio and PVC's nothing major just a pill a day until I had dropped a few pounds (after I delivered the baby) and change in diet!
You should see a doctor soon though!
Palpitations. Talk to your doctor. It is often harmless and can be controlled (usually with medication) if it carries a risk or causes you discomfort.
Certain foods/drinks makes me have heart palpitations (irregular beats). - Snapple iced tea, anything that contains olive oil, and Hot Tamales candy. I don't know why. I have had my heart completely checked out in the past. These are 3 things that I like (and will still eat/drink!) but they ALWAYS cause my heart to do that.
That is your bodies way to tell you not to eat so much. Slow down. If that doesn't work, see your doctor

has anyone ever bought B12 shots from Mexico - I'm going in a few months and was thinking about getting some
are there any dangers with the med's from there?
Answer:
I definitely would not go to Mexico and take any shots. Regulation of drugs is much less there. You could pick a disease such as AIDS or Hepatitis. I recommend the B12 you can buy in a drugstore. B12 deficiency is really not that common. B12 deficiency mainly occurs in vegetarians.
B12 shots are given here why do you want to get them from mexico my friends take them all the time to control her weight.

has anyone ever been on Zyban the no smoking drug? Did it work? What side effects did u have if any?
Answer:
I personally think that wellbutrin is the best drug ever.Let me tell you why.1) I quit smoking. After 15 years and many many attempts I just stopped. Bear in mind I was pushing three packs a day! It is really werid however. Unlike other quit smoking programs (patchs gum meetings ect) I tried there was no presure to stop. I started taking my pills. (150 mg in the morning for 8 days then 300 mg from then on out) After about two weeks I woke up and I just didn't smoke. In fact I didn't even notice I had quit because I didn't even want a smoke. Simply admazing. I still remember thinking in my morning shower, "Did I have a smoke today? Did I just quit? No I think I just stopped."2) I LOST WEIGHT! Thats right. Most people quit smoking and gain weight. Not me. I wasn't as hungrey.3) I started going to the gym. Wellbutrin gives me energy. (Be careful when you take that second pill.. never to late) I actually felt like being there! Not smoking and extra energy equals motivation.4) I just plain feel better.Quick warning. My friend tried it after me. She didn't "ramp" up. She started on the full 300 mg. She had the worst headaches! (She got over it and had simular experiences as me. it just took her a lot longer because she tried to short cut it.)This drug will keep you awake if you are NOT careful. I never take my second pill after 12. Otherwise you will not sleep. I advise the gym (I started with walking and swiming) to burn the extra energy.And from what I have heard don't just stop taking it! Ramp down.Final note : I have recommended wellbutrin to many friends at this point. While a few have not liked it the huge majority had great sucess. I notice the ones who did not quit smoking were not really committed to the idea to begin with. Make sure it is in your heart and you will be fine!
I tried it, didn't work.But, I had the worst insomnia ever...I laid in bed all night soo tired I couldn't think straight, but I couldn't sleep.
Be very carefull.I tried it and it worked great...didnt have the urge or craving at all...I was rather surprised...after taking the pill for two weeks..I started having wicked nightmares...the same reacurring one...then I got violently ill...and yuor supposed to take them for 3 months.not likely...as I said...be very carefull
Yes I did try Zyban to attempt stop smoking, it did not help me, The side affects that I did experience was an enhanced desire for nicotine. I did not expereince any other reactions what so ever.
I have noticed that after I started smoking again, which I was able to stop smoking for half day using this product, when I restarted smoking, I felt the need to smoke more cigarettes.
I have tried several stop smoking patches and gums and all of the ones I have tried have not helped me, personally, my work is stressful and smoking is the only thing that I can take to help me relieve the stress that I have.
I took the same drug for depression--the only effects I noticed were insomnia at first (goes away when you get tired enough) and an increase in energy.I'm not a smoker, but I heard it can help with any sort of craving (I may have eaten less while taking it).
Never taken it, but Zyban is bupropion, also sold as an antidepressant called Wellbutrin. Every antidepressant changes the brain chemistry, and this can have different effects in different people.
i take that drug for the treatment of depression. when i first started taking it i lost all interest in smoking . i had smokes just sitting there for over a week and never thought to smoke them .
i did have some minor side effects like i had this kind of wave going in my head from one side to the other. some bathroom problems too. none of the side effects were enough for me to think about stopping the medication . bear in mind i was on a higher dose that is used for smoking treatment.
i don't know why i am still smoking but i am and i sure wish i wasn't . i do remember that when i had my girlfriend over she smoked like a chimney and that might be what got me going again i don't remember.
this medication at this maximum dosage does make me sweat a huge amount when i work. i am a mover and some people think i am going to drop dead when i am working but i just drink lots of sports drink stuff Gatorade or power-aid. i also must chew gum or my mouth gets so dry i feel like i am choking and i will vomit if i don't get a drink of water fast.
other then that the medication combined with another one has made a huge difference in the depression.
Has anyone else taken Wellbutrin to stop smoking?
I am on it now, but I have only slowed smoking, not really stopped. I was told to wait up to 4 weeks to really lose the need to smoke.I do like the fact that it has improved my mood!
Answer:
Wellbutrin SR 150 mg. is an antidepressant that is the same drug sold under the name Zyban that is marketed as a smoking cessation drug.They are both the same.
Wellbutrin is an anti-depressant.. hence the mood improvment... I tried it to stop smoking.. I was told to take it for 7 days.. and on the 7th day to stop smoking cold turkey.. didn't work for me...However... I have 2 family members that are trying the new one out %26lt;chantix%26gt; and have BOTH stopped smoking... one was a 50+ yr smoker.
I started taking Wellbutrin than 3 weeks later on Wed, 14 Dec 2005 I finally stop smoking
I had a friend who did. She said it worked.
it will improve your mood because people take it as an anti depressant...but it will take a few weeks for you to see a change in smoking.

has anyone else taken mucinex??
i took it once and it made me very jittery and sick, and my mom recntly took it and she felt the same way.is it just us or has any one else experienced this?
Answer:
mucinex alone contains only guiafenesen, which is an expectorant. It helps make coughs more effective in mucous removal. It sounds like you might have taken mucinex-D. Which also contains psuedoephedrine, a nasal decongestant. The comment about being jittery can be a side effect of pseudoephedrine for some people. but guiafenesen doesnt usually ever make people feel jittery or sick.
Make sure you drink plenty of water or fluids when you take mucinex. I have found that it works very well, but I take it with about 15 ounces of water per tablet. As the previous post said, there is plain mucinex and mucinex D. The plain mucinex is a blue and white pill. I have had success with the plain mucinex.

has anyone bought the "spray" at increaseheight.com?
I just want to find out somebody's REAL experience- not just the testimonials on the site- they say they have a 91% success rate and money back guarantee but you've got to be skeptical of claims like that. Anyone have details about their product??
Answer:
here is the beef, currently it is legal in the US to make any claims about your product that you like, as long as you offer a money back gaurantee. which this company does, they are banking that you will not go through the trouble of sending back the unused portion and paying shipping. I would imagine the shipping cost would be at least 5 dollars. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is. Don't let them fool you. If you really want to grow talk to your doctor about HGH Human growth Hormone.
This is a pure scam, save your money.

Has anyone been on a drug called refampin?
I was wondering what sort of side effects can occur.
Answer:
The most common side effect of rifampin is orange coloured urine and stools. It can also damage liver and kidneys.
I am right now and everything is wonderful!
Rifampin is a synthetic antibiotic used to treat TB and certain types of meningitis. Some side effects can include, but NOT limited to headaches, heartburn, the runs, rash, vomiting, etc.
Rifampicin is used to treat TB. It is also used to prevent meningitis in contacts.Side effects include elevation of liver enzymes and derangement of liver function, reduced platelets (thrombocytopenia) and raised blood urea nitrogen due to impairment of kidney function. Liver function impairment is more common so baseline liver function tests are done before starting treatment and also during treatment.
Lots of good answers here, but the annoying and frequent thing is that yellowing of various body fluids. Not harmful, but disconcerting if you're not forwarned.

has anybody had a head transplant in the world?
Answer:
Actually I think it has been done in monkeys and I believe they did survive for a while and show some signs of transmission of nerve impulses. Obviously never in humans. The problem is that it is not possible to connect the spinal cord and the nerves in such a way as to allow accurate transmission of nerve impulses across the join.
The term head transplant itself is a misnomer. You are your brain. The recipient would be the head and the donor organs would be the rest of the body. I suppose you would call it a whole body transplant.
No.

Has anybody ever thought of making hiccup medicine?
Think about it, just take a spoon full of it when u get them, and don't have to hold your breath for 100 seconds or do any of the stand on your head mumbo jumbo.
Answer:
Hiccups are caused by spasms of the diaphram. if someone invented a medicine to stop spasms, it would relax the muscle thereby making it hard or impossible to draw a breath. Most of the "cures" tend to be things that regulate your breathing and require concentration. So it is basically mind over matter and strong concentration.
All you do is take deep breaths and they should go away.
Chlorpromazine seems to be the most useful medication for singultus (hiccups), and not only does it not work as well as some other methods, it has nasty side-effects, and nobody likes taking it. The most likey cure for an attack, though, isn't all that unpleasant: Just put a spoonful of table sugar on the soft palate. In comparison studies, this seems the trick that works most often.

Has any vaccine ever been shown to have a long term side effect?
ever?
Answer:
It is possible, although extremely unlikely, for a chicken pox vaccine to result in shingles, which is usually a life-long condition. Some people get a mild case of chicken pox from the vaccine, and in some of those people, the chicken pox vaccine remains dormant or semi-dormant in the body from then on. It emerges later in life as shingles -- severe, blistering nerve pain. There is no cure at present, although antiviral drugs can help keep the virus dormant.This is not meant to be a recommendation against getting the chicken pox vaccine, however! Far more people get serious complications (including death) from chicken pox, including shingles, than those who get the vaccine.
Very good question! Yes, absolutely (and unfortunately).Google these words:

the anthrax vaccine has been implicated in causing gulf war syndrome
Yes, all vaccines have hurt someone. There are some people that are allergic to the ingredients in a vaccine and may not know it. The absolute worst case would be death. Here are a few stats on some of the vaccines (http://www.cdc.gov/nip/publications/vis/...DTaP (Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis)
Severe Problems (Very Rare)
鈥?Serious allergic reaction (less than 1 out of a million
doses)

occur after DTaP vaccine. These include:
- Deafness
- Long-term seizures, coma, or lowered consciousness
- Permanent brain damageMMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella)
Severe Problems (Very Rare)
鈥?Serious allergic reaction (less than 1 out of a million

鈥?Several other severe problems have been known to
occur after a child gets MMR vaccine. But this
happens so rarely, experts cannot be sure whether
they are caused by the vaccine or not. These include:
- Deafness
- Long-term seizures, coma, or lowered consciousness
- Permanent brain damage
Polio
These people should not get IPV (Inactivated Polio Vaccine):
鈥?Anyone who has ever had a life-threatening allergic
reaction to the antibiotics neomycin, streptomycin or
polymyxin B should not get the polio shot.
鈥?Anyone who has a severe allergic reaction to a polio
shot should not get another one.These people should wait:
鈥?Anyone who is moderately or severely ill at the time the
shot is scheduled should usually wait until they recover
before getting polio vaccine. The vaccine used TODAY has never been known to cause
any serious problems, and most people don't have any
problems at all with it.However, a vaccine, like any medicine, could cause
serious problems, such as a severe allergic reaction. The
risk of a polio shot causing serious harm, or death, is
extremely small.Here are some stats if we stopped vaccinating (http://www.cdc.gov/nip/publications/fs/g...Before the polio vaccine 13,000 to 20,000 cases of paralytic polio were reported each year in the UNITED STATES.In 1999, as a result of global immunization efforts to eradicate the disease, there were about 2,883 documented cases of polio in the WORLD.
==============================...
Before measles immunization nearly everyone in the U.S. got measles. An average of 450 measles-associated deaths were reported each year between 1953 and 1963. In developing countries death occurs in about one of every 100 persons with measles.According to the World Health Organization (WHO), nearly 900,000 measles-related deaths occurred among persons in developing countries in 1999. In populations that are not immune to measles, measles spreads rapidly. If vaccinations were stopped, each year about 2.7 million measles deaths worldwide could be expected.As for Mercury - this is from http://www.cdc.gov/od/science/iso/concer...Thimerosal is a mercury-containing preservative used in some vaccines and other products since the 1930's. No harmful effects have been reported from thimerosal at doses used in vaccines, except for minor reactions like redness and swelling at the injection site. However, in July 1999, the Public Health Service (PHS) agencies, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and vaccine manufacturers agreed that THIMEROSAL SHOULD BE REDUCED OR ELIMINATED IN VACCINES as a precautionary measure.
Today, with the exception of some Influenza (flu) vaccines, NONE of the vaccines used in the U.S. to protect preschool children against 12 infectious diseases contain thimerosal as a preservative.The link between autism and MMR or thimerosal was discounted by both National Institutes of Health (NIH) asked the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in 2004.Sorry this is so long, but hope it helps.

Has any one tried to give their child fish oil that are easy for children to take instead of ritalin,What kind
Answer:
There are now many brands of fish oils that come flavored. The most common flavoring agent is lemon oil. Doing an internet search for "flavored fish oils" should give you a variety of brands to choose from.The use of fish oils to treat ADHD is still under debate. There have been a few studies, but the majority of them showed minimal positive effects.One study was done in 2004 in Okayama, Japan. Researchers gave 40 children with ADHD either fish oils containing 3.6 grams/week of DHA ( Docosahexaenoic acid -a fatty acid found in fish oils) or a placebo. After 2 months they found no difference in ADHD symptoms.Another study using fish oils on ADHD was done in Rochester, Minnesota (2001). Researchers had 63 children with ADHD (between the ages 6 - 12 ) take either 345 mg of DHA/day or a placebo.They found that the children on DHA supplements increased their DHA blood levels by over 2.6 times, compared to the placebo group - but there was no decrease in ADHD symptoms.This may sound discouraging, but there is some conflicting research. There was a study done in Oxford, England where researchers gave a placebo or omega 3 fatty acids to 117 children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD).
DCD is a condition where children have difficulties in learning and psycho-social behaviors. After 3 months, they found that the children taking omega 3 fatty acids improved in reading, spelling and behavior. And to counter some of the above research, there are many anecdotal reports from people claiming a positive difference with the use of fish oils on ADHD.So this topic is still up for debate. Hopefully, there will be more research performed in the use of fish oils on ADHD.
they make them in capsule form
Hi JoJo. Carlson Laboratories (carlsonlabs.com) offers a childrens flavored chewable fish oil supplement. They are small capsules that can be swallowed or chewed.Best wishes and good luck with your son's challenging condition.
has any one out there took wellbutrin for there depression. does it work good.?
i like to do research before i take any new drugs, i found where if you break a wellbutrin open and rub the powder on your lips and gum it has a numbing effect like cocain, what could this mean, is wellbutrin a senthetic cocain, or what, does any one no about this drug,
Answer:
Don't.Take it from one that has just been weened off of antidepressant. I had a total thyroidectomy, menopause, my father passed away at the same time. It was too much for my body to take. I have just gotten off Effexor XR after going through trail periods of Paxil and Wellbutrin. It does not mater what you are taking everyone will react differently to them. One person can not tell you what to expect. All I can tell you is that I did not want to live the rest of my life on and anti-depressant. They are prescribed too freely and without reasonable consideration by the attending physician prescribing them. The withdrawals from these drugs are far worse than anything you could possible be going through now. They were far worse than anything I went through.If at all possible seek help other than a prescription. I truly feel that we are guinea pigs with all of these drugs and years from now we will learn of the outcome because of it.I wish you the best.
i took it i hate it i stopped taking it smoke weed
a friend of mine used it for about 10years and she said it worked quite well for a long time but like anything her body got used to it and no longer benefited so the doctor switched her to Zoloft which is now working quite well
I never heard anything like that, all I know is that it works for quitting smoking.
welbuterin has many uses. I took it to stop smoking, and i still smoke. As per any drug or prescription, u may have ur own individual side effects, or complications depending on ur health, past health, other medications, and etc. So just because 10 people took it and 6 were pleased and seen results, doesnt mean that most people will have great results. When i was taking it i followed my doctors prescription to the t and i was having terrible nightmares about the strangest things. Now mainly this drug is used for depression, and I dont believe i was depressed, so maybe it was making me depressed? who knows. But it is good to research a little before and see hwats goin on with the drug. ITs just somethig ur going to have to talk to ur doctor about seriously and see what they recommend for you and ur situation, so good luck!
my brother took it for awhile. i think it helped his depression, but he had major seizures from it. be careful!
I have never heard of it being called a synthetic cocaine...if it were it would be classified as a controlled substance, which it is not. I have not taken it for depression but I have heard that it can help individuals with their depression (hence...it is an antidepressant). Talk to your Doc and/or Pharmacist and see what they say. Check into the side effects also (it really helps to know these when you are taking them). Wellbutrin can cause a light-headed feeling that, for me, lasted about 15 minutes (nothing to get excited about, it wasn't a "high" feeling).I used it to quit smoking...the non-smoking portion lasted about 6 months. I have not used it as an anti-depressant.
Never tried any Anti-Depressants, but I have experianced my fair share of 'difficulties' in life and have found that councelling (whether with a trained councellor, or a jsut talking to close friend) works considerably better.One way of looking at it is that Anti-Depressants are similar in one vain to Asprin. Most people have a headache and take an asprin, which does nothing to cure the cause of the headache, it simply masks the symptoms. This works as the cause of most headaches will simply go away on its own, wheras the stress that causes depression will not simply cure itself. This means that most people who take anti-depressants find that when they finally stop taking the pills, the root cause is still there.Take it from me, fix the problem, not just the symptoms.Just incase it sounds like I'm just talking a load of self richeous rubbish, my Girlfriend was on Anti-Drepressents for 2 years prior to our meeting. When we decided to settle down I asked her to stop taking the pills and talk through problems with me instead. This has actually removed any desire on her part to take the tablets, but has also managed to bring us closer together. Sometimes it a little adversity can be constructive, as it forces people to communicate, lack of which is in my opinion the biggest cause of failed relationships.

Most people have a headache and take an asprin, which does nothing to cure the cause of the headache, it simply masks the symptoms. This works as the cause of most headaches will simply go away on its own, wheras the stress that causes depression will not simply cure itself. This means that most people who take anti-depressants find that when they finally stop taking the pills, the root cause is still there.Take it from me, fix the problem, not just the symptoms.Just incase it sounds like I'm just talking a load of self richeous rubbish, my Girlfriend was on Anti-Drepressents for 2 years prior to our meeting. When we decided to settle down I asked her to stop taking the pills and talk through problems with me instead. This has actually removed any desire on her part to take the tablets, but has also managed to bring us closer together. Sometimes it a little adversity can be constructive, as it forces people to communicate, lack of which is in my opinion the biggest cause of failed relationships.
Has any of us had laser eye surgery??
I would love it done, but i don't know anyone thats had it done,what are the risks and how much would it cost?
Answer:
It's risky. Make sure you do plenty of research before embarking on this. You have a very minor inconvenience - wearring glasses. Is it really worth risking blindness? This BBC article will start you off -
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/2745035.st...
i've considered this for a while.. supposedly about 拢300 per eye.. as legend has it loli shudda got it wen i was still on the NHS =(
If you have insurance it should not cost you may be just your co-payment which should not be more than you can manage, i haven't had it done thank God but i have seen and work with people who had it and they say it was just so easy no problem and was back at work in 4-5 days, but if you are scared please speak with your optician.
Cost shouldn't cause concern, what matters is that you gain better vision. As with any "op" there's always a risk.. though they will tell you its about 1 in 1000 or something similar. You dont specify why you are thinking of having Laser treatment but my mum regained her vision earlier this year after undergoing cataract removal. During the op she moved slightly which resulted in a tear to her new lense, so she had to have a stitch in her eye temporarily. The stitch was later removed by laser.
We all knew the risks, we were well informed and my mum is a real worrier when it comes to hospitals and such. But the very next morning her sight had returned and after three months of total blindness she could see. "Hello Joe" she said when I eventually got up that morning. of course I wept, with joy. It was well worth all the check-ups and procedures. The actual op took a mere 18 minutes...!!So. (sorry for rambling) if you need the treatment, go for it... I'm sure everything will be fine.
i had a friend who did it, it cost her about $1000 she said it was worth it
I had it done in 2000. I love it! After wearing glasses for 40 years, now my distance vision is 20/20 (or a wee bit better).Two problems, hwoever:Now I need reading glasses. I can read but +2.00 nonpresription glasses help alot. And they cost $5. For younger folks, this is not so much a problem, however.At night, lights have a shimmering. From what I understand, this problem has been pretty much eliminated with newer techniques.But even with these two minor problems, I'd do it again. There seems to be lots of urban myths about people going blind or someone has a friend who has a friend...Talk to your opthamolgist and get the facts.It cost me about $1500.

Has anyone had any success taking the medication "Trileptal" for Bipolar disorder?
Answer:
my son also takes trileptal for his bipolar disorder. He has been on it for about 3-4 years. and it is the only one that he feels more under control with. We also placed plant lights in all his room lamps, because he is a night worker and misses out of the sunlights benefits. Good luck to you and take care.
Trileptal is a drug that affects the nerves and brain. It works by decreasing impulses in nerves that cause seizures. Unless your doctor is prescribing it as an "off label use". For example Topamax is FDA approved for migraine headache's but the psychiatric community also prescribes in in a "off label use" for bipolar I disorder.
Yes, my husband uses it with his bipolar disorder and feels it is a very appropriate drug. He has had success.Good luck
Haptens - What happens to the body when an allergy to something like penicillin occurs?
I read somewhere that haptens become attached to carrier molecules..Can someone explain this concept to me a little better. My mom is on peniclllin for a week and she has been vomiting all day today and i wonder if she is having a reaction.
Answer:
The immune system is tuned to be able to tell the difference between self molecules and foreign molecules. This is how it combats infections and such. In autoimmune disorders, this system is messed up and actually begins attacking self cells. The immune system usually recognizes larger molecules (peptides, etc), however in the case of haptens, when a small molecule (e.g. penicillin) is bound to some other protein in the body, it can be recognized as foreign and cause an immune reaction (e.g. "allergies"). These would generally occur more quickly than a week and would usually present with breathing trouble and hives, however, it's always ok to call the doctor and ask them if she needs to come back in. Also, check the bottle and see if the meds should be taken with food. sometimes a piece of toast and a glass of water is all that is needed to help with this.Take home lesson ;) : never hesitate to call the doctor's office and ask if something doesn't seem right. it's their job! :)
It may be allergic reaction , she might have an allergy test to decide, but tell me if she developed any other symptoms rather than vomiting?!
but take into ur consideration that some penicillin's as ampicillin cause GIT upset , this may an obvious reason for vomiting!! especially if she ingested them on empty stomach
Allergy Requires IgE, Much that What is Said Above is True. See Type I Hypersensitivity.

Happy Pills?
What are the best happy pills that are easy to get?
Answer:
Drugs are bad... mmmkay?
well i can get anything
The easiest to get are St. John's Wort - they are natural (ie legal) and safe (ie won't kill you). BUT don't take them if you are on birth control because they can lessen the protection you get from the pill. Otherwise, don't depend on a pill - go to cuteoverload.com or stuffonmycat.com or just talk to someone you love, or who makes you laugh. I've been dependent on antidepressants for years, and believe me, it's not fun. Find a natural high and what makes you happy in life. Good luck!!
If there are happy pills out there I would lkie some.
I can ask my friend - oops - i forgot- she just OD last week on some and is not in the mood for talking.Your up next sporto.
Oooh, ooh, I like happy pills. They've made me happy and have given me more energy! Which also makes me happy! Prozac is pretty easy to get.
ecstasyone problem is that leaves holes in you brain but they should make you happy.
Screw the pills, just smoke a little pot. It will make you feel way better than a pill, and it wont make you nauseous.
Cookies!
m%26m's in a sandwich with bacon and marshmallow is pretty good.
5-HTP is the closest legal over the counter alternative. You can buy them from a herbalist such as Holland and Barratts. They work by converting to 5-HT (the chemical name for seratonin) 5-HTP increases brain dopamine and noradrenaline activity. These are two main mood and alertness regulating neurotransmitters.You won't feel the effect immediately, but if you have 2 every day for a week or 2 you will definately feel the difference :-) hope this helps
Dont do it!!!its not good for ya!just do things that you like to do... Force ya self to just get involved in lots of things... you will not have time to be sad!

oh i forgot one important thing about the whole thing is this thing he has is a tumor between his 3 and 4 digits on his left hand and has a cluster of blood vessels...
Answer:
Does it involve the bone or the skin or the muscles? Is it a hemangioma? Has a dermatologist or a vascular surgeon seen it? I can't help refer you in your local. Here we have an excellent upper extremity group handupperex.com/ . They might be a resource for you.
You can get an online second opinion from the Cleveland Clinic. It is wonderful health facility. I work there. Here is a link to the online second opinion page.http://www.eclevelandclinic.org/myconsul...

had operation for shoulder impingement,resultingin frozen shoulder?
experiencing severe sustained pain. any advise on treatments and results, in particular acupuncture .
Answer:
You don't say when you had your operation or what kind of operation it was. It would be helpful if you could also post which type of impingent it was, and how long you had symptoms pre-op., and what those symptoms were.Do you have wounds from the operation, or was it a manipulation under anaesthetic (MUA)? Were you immobilised post-op, if so for how long, and what treatment have you had since to get your arm moving, or what exercises do you do yourself?Try filling in some of the gaps, and we'll try to answer your question.

guide to take test for CT Scan?
Answer:
Do you mean how to deal with having a CT scan done? It depends on what section of your body they are going to scan. They will give you an IV, possibly have you drink some dye, and they may give you a dye enima. The scan itself dosn't last very long. You have to be extremely still... if you move they have to start all over again. Just breath and try not to stress. I've had several and the worse part is the time building up to it.
You've got to give us more. Are you having an exam or are you studying for the registry? I'm confused.
A c-t scan is a series of multiple x-rays taken at high speed while revolving about you. This constant blast of radiation from every angle is only effective if you lie totally still . Do not subject yourself to this form of diagnostics for more than a very few times throughout your lifetime 'cause the cumulative affect can alter you dna to the point of dentrimental (-) health. Mri's have not been proven to be any less destructive over a long period of life. Either way any foreign subsance or jerky movement will spoil this "captured time".Honest communications are safest way forward to effect a safe outcome.
If they make you drink that disgusting Barium Sulphate milk shake, be sure you are near a toilet 3 to 4 hours later, or wear a diaper.

Gray's Anatomy?
I plan on going to Medical School, or at least major in that field, and was just wondering what would be a good book to help me get a jump start, or one that would just be useful in helping me learn the anatomy of humans. (I've been looking at the Atlas Of Human Anatomy by Netter as well)I was also just wondering which book would be better, Gray's Anatomy (by Henry Gray) or the Gray's Anatomy For Students book? I was thinking the latter choice because Gray's still has all the latin text and words that aren't commonly used today, so chances are I won't understand some of what the text is saying without research beforehand.
Answer:
You can start off with Gray's Anatomy for Students. It is shorter, less detailed, and an easy read compared to the Gray's Anatomy (by Henry Gray). Once you are through with that book, it will give you a very good idea about human anatomy. It should also whet your appetite to read more about the complex system that the human body is. That's when you hit the bigger Gray's.If you start off with the bigger Gray, you will get discouraged easily because there is so much to read and all terms are unfamiliar. However, approaching it the other way will give you an all round confidence because you would already have completed reading the smaller book, got a comprehensive idea about anatomy and then reading for further detail.Keep at it. The voyage is as interesting as the destination.
Grays anatomy is a fantastic book for insomnia, it used to send me to sleep really quickly.
By all means buy it as a refernce book only, for good indepth reading go to your college book store and browse one afternoon - you will find one you like for sure - books are personal choices, so what was good for me might be disasterous for you! Usually, the staff are really helpful. Be sure to buy (or order) the latest addition too.
Good luck
Get it used...it doesn't matter what edition you choose - they haven't discovered an new body parts lately! I still have mine from 30 years ago!!
use netter! it is the best anatomy book, with the best pictures and detail. and that's what you'll use if you go to med school anyway...
Grant's "Atlas of Anatomy" is easier to read and the pictures are better. If you want to learn to read, Gray's is more profuse but works beter as a door stop.
Gray's are everywhere and cheap but a used Grant's is the better book.
i used to use snell's, chaurasia (this one is too detailed but easy reading by indian author) and netters as atlas
You can also go through Cunninghams.
Gray's Anatomy has stood the test of time and is the best one.It is a book you'll keep as reference for the rest of your life.Mine is the 34th Edition and I bought it when it just came out.I still use it.Enjoy the journey.

give the relationship of hypothalamus and anterior lobe of the pitiutary gland?
Answer:
The anterior pituitary (also called the adenohypophysis, from Greek adeno, "gland"; hypo, "under"; physis, "growth"; hence, glandular undergrowth) comprises the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland and is part of the endocrine system. Unlike the posterior lobe, the anterior lobe is genuinely glandular, hence the root adeno in its name.Under the influence of the hypothalamus, the anterior pituitary produces and secretes several peptide hormones that regulate many physiological processes including stress, growth, and reproduction.
the hypothalamus helps regulate temperature and blood pressure...but the anterior lobe of the pituitary? never heard of it
The "Reader's Digest" version for a concept is that the hypothalamus sends messages downstream to the pituitary which does the same to the adrenals.
The anterior lobe of pituitary releases almost 6 hormones: STH,TSH,ACTH,FSH,LH and LTH... for the release of all these hormones, it needs a stimuli from the hypothalamus.eg: FSH RH (FSH Releasing Hormone)is released from the hypothalamus which orders the ant pituitary to produce FSH.. also the hypot. produces Inhibitors to inhibit the hormone production. thats y the old concept of pituitary as a master gland is now slowly fading away and it seems as if there exists a boss for the pituitary that is the hypothalamus.hope u r convinced abt this.
