How can I get my eye to stop watering?

My left eye has been watering for about 1 week now continuously! I cant stop it! When the left one waters.the right one tries and sometimes does a little but not very much at all. The left one waters really bad in the sun or outside. Inside, it waters constent but not as bad! But it still drain down my face. WHAT CAN I DO? My eye isnt swollen, and its not allergies, and I cant figure it out! HELP!
Answer:
Go to the doctor. You are right...it isn't normal. You don't say how old you are...but I've hears that menopause can cause a watery eye. But, my guess is that its allergies. Try some allergy Visine. That works good. :)
Bounty!The Quicker Picker Upper!On a more serious note:
See doctor and demand to see an eye specialist. Often a general practice doctor is not equipped knowledge wise the way a specialist is.
get a hair dryer and put it on cold and blow it in ure eye
Wear sunglasses whenever you go outside because the sun always makes my eyes water really bad or whenever i walk outside if i have just been in a not very bright lit room.

How can I get my dad to quit smoking?

My dad has been smoking since he was a teen, and he always says that he want to quit. He always tells me that he is going to quit, but then the next day, he buys a carton of cigerattes from costco. And each time I tell him to stop he gets angry and stuff. so yeah help?
Answer:
Quitting is hard...I too have been smoking since I was 12...I have tried to quit several times...I actually quit for 3 months once..but without the right program and alot of stress in life..it's virtually impossible.
You may suggest to him to try those nicotine patches for a couple weeks...but the key to those is keeping busy..if he gets idle then the chances are he'll light up.
To keep him busy and to get you 2 to spend quality time..sign up for a fitness program with a trainer...not only will he keep busy but he will get healthier...
Look at me...trying to give advise.
Take some of his cigs and you start or just walk out every time he lights up (healthier). When he yells at you to ask where you are going, tell him that a true father wouldn't harm his kids and to have him call you when he want's you to return home.
If he wants to quit get him Allen Carr's book "The easy way to quit smoking". It is truly easy but he must want to do it. Do not nag him though.
I don't think you can. And it's NOT your decision to decide this. It's his.

How can i get more medical knowledge on net?

all about diseases,causes,and their treatment.either with the help of cd's or softwere,or on websites
Answer:
Personally, I use Medscape.com
webmd.com
look on google
well u can look on google.com but make sure the website u find is reliable
I agree webmd.com has alot of info
Google lists of diseases, and then just google causes and treatments of that particular disease. I had to do loads of papers on many, many different diseases, and that's by far the simplest (and cheapest) way of doing it!
www.webmd.com is a pretty good website for info on a bunch of health related things.
yeah webmd.com has everything you can type your symptoms if your hot and stuff and itll narrow it down to what you most likely have. It saves a trip to the doctor:)
WebMd is a good source for info on medical knowledge but if you really want to learn more about the medical profession you might want to check into an online course on medical terminology or medical vocabulary. It's not real expensive, but I suggest you go through a community college in your area because they are more reputable.
A doctor recommended one is
www.mayoclinic.com
they are leaders in the field of medicine and research.

apart from webmd medscape we have pubmed site which offers you details of the gains and losses of atreatment or the latest in the treatment-which might NOT always be best for you.but advice of your doctor who too is expert in his her field or having an attitude to take help of different specialists or studying a case not responding well or otherwise too ,,always start from basic treatment believe in your response to treatment never ever get mislead by non medical friends ask your doc frank quaestions be openly doubting.its ok..docs go by dictum common things are common and most of the patients have no or common diseases ..so if your case has uncommon turn that is expected by a doctor not told to you to avoid anxiety..why make 999 suffer for a disease one will get in 1000..get info but final answer is with you and your expert doc..

How can I get immediate relief from..?

hayfever. My eyes are itchy red and swollen,my nose is runny andsore and I would gladly rip out, with my bare hands, that bit at the back of my nose/throat cos its itching like mad and I cant get anything to it to scratch it. HELP
Answer:
Try Zirtec.
allergy meds, and try Visine A it is specially formulated with an antihistamine in it for your eyes.
Have you tried death? I hear that sovles most problems. in fact I hear it solves all problems..
Mind you I have hayfever and its a nuisance to all AS people.
Wash your face and hands often .Keep your hands away from your face.Try Clairaton over the counter for relief of the symptoms.If that doesn't work you may need to see a doctor for something stronger.Most important is washing your hands and face often and not touching your eyes or nose.
I don't like the way antihistamine pills make me feel. (very sleepy!) So, I use Afrin nasal spray for the nasal irritation and anti-allergy eye drops for my eye irritation. This works very well and I don't hve to go around feeling tired all the time!
It is also soothing to sit in a hot tub and breathe in the steam. It gets the pollen out of your hair and clothes (assuming you remove your clothes LOL) and soothes the nasal passages and throat.
Hope you get some relief soon!
Speak to your doctor, get a prescription for a drug called 'neoclaryritin' (I hope I've spelt it right!). The medicine is non drowsy so you shouldn't feel any adverse effects. I've been taking it for a while now and I feel absolutley fine! Before I had the medicine I couldn't get to sleep because of my nose being blocked but now it is completely unblocked and my hayfever symtoms only suface about a couple of days later if I forget to take the drug! Good luck!
P.S You could also get a very good nasal spray called "Beconase". It works well to reduce hayfever symtoms!
Zyrtec is the best antihistamine to take because it doesn't make you feel drowsy, though check with the pharmacist if you under any other medication.
To relieve the itching eyes get 2 damp cotton wool pads and pour on a little distilled Witch Hazel. Let these these eye pad for a few minutes
It will help cool and soothe the eyes.
Where dark glasses when the weather is like this, for some reason it is usually worse when it has rained recently. They protect the eyes from the pollen and dust in the air.
Apparently by eating locally produced honey you can develop a stronger resistance to the allergic reaction, but this method is not an instant relief.
Yes Neoclarityn used with a nasal spray usually works. Ive had it so bad that at one point they gave me the pollen injection, it worked a treat but they wont give it now for risk of osteoarthirits. Like I care, id have it again to get rid of the sneezing and runny nose. Good luck.
Hun i have the same problem the itching in the foof of the mouth and the throat but still no one has the answer. P.s if they do please let me know it driving me insaine i do have small ice cubes and suck on them give's little relive for short time
For quick relief very quick try an olbas inhaler however to much well cause an increase of itcyness at the back of ur mouth

How can i get hid of a runny nose quick (cold)?

i need some home remedy
Answer:
this isnt a home remedy but its real cheap in stores. im 12 and sp wen im sick (which is a lot) my mom rubs vicks vapor rub, under my nose. in like like an hour or 2 and then it just clears up! sometimes it gets cleared up in a couple minutes, it depends on how severe it is...but good luck! :)
try flour in ur nose
make booger pancakes they are delicious
Twist some tissue or toilet paper and put them in your nose. You'll look funny, but your nose wont be running.
blow it .. or vicks vapor rub in warm water sniff it all in umm
sudafed works good over the counter. Although now you have to buy it from the pharmacist but you don't need a prescription.
Sniff it all up and spit out loogies instead. No more runny nose.

How can i get clear skin?

my guardian wont let me order things off the internet so it would have to be home remedies or things you can buy at walmart and stores like that
Answer:
Wash your face twice a day (morning and before bed) with a gentle, oil-free cleanser such as Dove white bar soap (this is what my dermatologist recommended). You can also get a topical astrigent or toner (make sure the label says non-acnegenic). Use a non-acnegenic moisturizer as well. It is important to moisturize, because dry skin will introduce more bacteria and lead to more pimples. I also use an on the spot acne treatment such as neutrogena (this contains salycic acid). Be careful not to use a bunch of products with salycic acid - this will do more damage than good. Be patient and consistent. It will take some time for your skin to heal.
Don't use soap use gels instead, soap clogs your pores and causes spots, try and avoid fatty foods and sweets and drink plenty of water.
Try going to walmart and buying some on the spot by nutrogena.
proactive works a lil costy but its worth it

How can i get bettter from being sick quicker?


Answer:
It depends what it is, but don't be impatinet, pamper yourself while sick like you would do to someone you loved. Have hot soothing baths, cream your feet and skin. Use essential oils like lavender. Get plenty of sleep. Drink morethan usual to keep hydrated and flush germs out. Take Vit C. Take the time to read or watch tv or just think. Look after yourself, When you think you feel better wash your hair, and brush your teeth extra well with a new brush. Throw the old one away.
Try using Airbornne or Emergen-C. When I get sick, I drink three glasses of Emergen-C until I get better. It doubled my healing rate.
Apple juice.
It would be most helpful to know what you're sick from. But with almost any illness get plenty of fluids, rest and relax.

How can i get an even skin tone?

How can i get an even skin tone?well i've tried to stay indoors and try to avoid the sun as much as possible but that doesnt seem to help and when i was outside i wore sunscreen(spf45). i've heard that body scrubs and facial scrubs do help but does anyone know which one is better??thanks
Answer:
1)Avoid alcohol based toners and alcohol itself in any product : raw , alcohol abraded skin has a higher tendency of producing melanin to protect itself.2)Use a very strong moisturizer after scrubbing : Uneven tones get more patchy when dry.Moist skin retains a pigment balance better.3)When outdoors repeat sunblock application : the best way to do that is to buy a compact pressed powder sunblock.A swoooosh and voila : youre done.4)Body scrub Vs. Facial scrub : well... one goes on the face and one goes on the body.I use plain and simple rock salt mixed in oil for the body .For the face whatever scrub you get make sure *it is finely beaded*...coarse grains will irritate skin and are likely produce blotches for uneven tones.

5)Treatment : google for : Hydroquinone , arbutin , kojic acid and azelaic acid.If you feel you have a bigger problem.
By the way . I get signed up for shoots because my skin is an even olive color and the photograhpers are thrilled by the no makeup look...on the other side my lover get a super trun on because my lower back gradually darkens as the skin hits my bum.
Your'e Gorgeous whatever color and how uneven it is.I'd much rather have fun in the sun then worry indoor.
People?...you can never please em.Have fun!!.
Tanning bed will give you uniform even color
both work great as long they are of good brand
when u go outsie cover thyself completely n use sun block on exposed areas

How can i get allergy testing done?

can i go thru gp or is there somewhere else i can go? has anyone had one done and if it was privately done how much and where i am in midlands
Answer:
i had IBS for 3 and a half years and was at the end of my tether so i looked into intolerance testing (it was the best thing i ever done, it changed my life!) i found out i was intolerant to wheat and now i'm gettin used to my wheat free diet my symptoms r pretty much gone! i booked my test at a Holland and Barrett health shop, it was done by a specialist from a nearby university, which u will probably find most unis now do this! i would definately recommend this to anyone! it costs me 拢65 and it is well worth it! u can get help with most problems and symptoms! also it tests for vitamin deficiencies! i had a vitamin B dificiency and startin takin vitamin B almost immediately i felt the benefits! strongly recommend this to you! hope it helps!!
get your doctor to refer you to a dermatologist. that way it'll be free.
Usually health clinics have an allergian department, which specializes in medication and other practices. You can usually be referred by the front desk, or by a practicing physician.
asda supplies the testing kits for loads of different allergies the other option is ask your gp to refer you to a hospital for further testing
What you can do is go to your doctor and tell him/her that you want to get an allergy test done and they can hook you up with someone who can do it. I have done that plenty of times.
Your GP can refer u to an allergist if you arel ooking for an actual allergy test. they can do the skin prick test, or the mroe reliable RAST blood test.
If you are experiencing possible food allergies or intolerances, a GI doc might be the way to go. They can test for Celiac Disease, or rule out IBS or other gastro problems.
Best of luck, Amy
You GP can do the testing PROPERLY, many private companies will I am afraid rip you off!Whether allergy testing is at all appropriate, and the type of test, depends on your problem and symptoms.Local skin allergy is tested using prick or scratch tests.
Other allergies need blood tests called RASTs.Vague requests like ' I want allergy testing in case I am allergic to something' are useless. Your GP would sent you away and Internet companies would rob you!
I had mine done through a specialist because of my own medical conditions, but you can ask your GP to refer if there is a specific reason for you wanting the tests.
food allergies or like dust? go to an allergist (a docter who only does stuff like astama and allergies) and ask to get it done
A lot of local Health Shops do allergy testing now - i took my daughter - and they are very good. Costs around 拢50 but in my daughters case its been worth it. Go to your nearest store and ask.

How can I finally get rid of head lice that will not go away?

I have tried everything to get rid of it but nothing works.
Answer:
first make sure the lice is not coming back because you failed to clean something properly - Sheets , pillow cases, clothes, mattress, couch...etc. Oh, if you have a pet, check them too.If all that has been done and the shampoo and comb you use is not getting them, shaving may be the last resort. Your Dr. may be able to prescribe a more potent shampoo as well.Good luck!

How can i effectively treat a skin rash?

i've been suffering from an awful skin rash (on my back, ears, neck, arms thighs, stomach, it's all over). i'm ashamed to say this but i am too broke to go see a doc now. pharmasists say it is because i'm allergic to something but i can't identify what i am allergic to. i can't even sleep well because of the itch even though i've been taking anti-histamine tablets. i'm getting exhausted day by day. can someone please tell me the way to get rid of this as i have exams coming soon and have to study for them? Thank you.
Answer:
You mentioned exams...do you have a campus clinic you can go to? You might want to do a search in your county to see if there are any free medical clinics. If antihistamine tablets are not getting rid of the rash or itch, then it's possible that you've got a viral infection of some sort. Not being able to sleep because of the itch is just going to get worse because the antihistamine is making you sleepy too. i recommed either going to a free clinic or dropping in the nearest emergency room. An allergic reaction that goes untreated can lead to breathing difficulty. An undiagnosed viral infection can lead to other's being exposed. Also, remember that you can become allergic to something you're used to taking or using. It doesn't have to be something new. In the meantime, you can take an Aveno bath for the itching.
I get really itchy if I use certain washing powders. Try that first. You need to find/borrow some money to go to the Dr. too.
Do you know what poison ivy looks like and have you been in any rural/country areas lately? (The pharmacist might not have been able to recognize this condition.)If you are on other medications for any reason, even over-th-counter ones, you could habe developed a reaction to it even after taking it awhile without any rash showing up. It could be some medicine you would never dream would have anything in it that would result in a rash.You need to check out nearby walk-in clinics like the ones they have / used to have in malls, and are starting to install in some drug stores. I would think a nurse practitioner practice could handle this, and they tend to be less expensive. If you are in high school, ask the school nurse for help. If in college, why not go the the health center? Don't you have to pay a student fee each term that covers the health center? Since your rash is so extensive, I wouldn't skimp on medical care. Who knows, something in the anti-histamine could be adding to your discomfort. You would be doing everyone a service if you let us know how this turns out.

How can I decrease my pulse rate. It is always above 100, while my blood pressure is normal. More rest ?


Answer:
quit smoking if you smoke, more exercise. A fast heart rate is usually due to being out of shape. Ask your doctor about it before you do start exercising in case there is a reason for the high heart rate
I think you need to go and see a cardiologist about that. If it is not a medical issue you can try cardiovascular activities like tennis or jogging because it is commonly known athletes have lower pulse rates.
If your pulse rate constantly exceeds 100, then it shows that you need some workout. It is indeed an unhealthy level considering you should be having a pulse rate between 60 and 80 to be normal. At this stage, it is important for you to note that your blood pressure does not indicate if your body is in a good shape, although it may be triggered at a certain stage when the body feels it couldn't last the condition anymore. When this happens, it shows that your body is already in a pathetic shape and it's almost impossible to reverse things (I mean getting rid of the high B/P then). The best thing you could do to get over this is to indulge in more exercise. Do not go straight for games like soccer or tennis. Start by working out the muscles. Do exercises that will ensure the durability of your cardiac muscles such as bench press, sit-ups and star jumps. Remember that you need to be fit before starting a sports. Once you're fit enough you could feel the changes and then you may start going for sports. If you're smoking or consuming alcohol often, then I guess it is clear what you should do. Alcohol may be good but of course in scarce amount. So, try it out and you will see results almost immediately.
yeah its exercise, even if ure not out of shape u still need to exercise.
Start an easy, gradual cardio exercise program. Little by little doing more and getting a litle bit faster every week or two. As your heart gets stronger, it will beat less often, and pump more blood with each beat.
I agree, start exercising. this will improve your heart muscle and help slow your heart rate. Also avoid nicotine, caffiene, diet pills, anything with stimulants. Also stress can play a big role in your heart rate

How can I cure candida?


Answer:
Steps
1Step OneEat yogurt. Buy the kind with the least amount of additives and make sure it has active cultures. Not only will it help your current infection, but studies show that eating yogurt regularly may help stave off infection in the first place. 2Step TwoTake acidophilus.Use as directed on the label and take on an empty stomach. It will help restore normal bacterial flora and control yeast growth. 3Step ThreeDecrease or eliminate sugar. Avoid sweets of all kinds, including fruits, refined carbohydrates and sugary foods. Yeast feeds on sugar, so you want to cut off its food supply. 4Step FourDecrease or eliminate alcohol, all fermented products, mushrooms, yeast and yeast-containing foods. This is to keep any more fungi from entering your system.

5Step FiveUse garlic as a suppository. Peel a garlic clove, wrap it in sterile gauze, lubricate it with vegetable oil and insert it into the vagina. Leave a piece of the gauze sticking out so you can locate it easily. Change the suppository every 12 hours. Garlic has powerful anti-fungal properties.

6Step SixMake your own douches. Use herbs such as calendula, goldenseal, marshmallow root or yarrow. Make a strong tea using one or more of these herbs. Douche twice daily for a week. 7Step SevenApply a tea-tree-oil cream to irritated and inflamed areas. It's effective against fungal infections, herpes blisters and other types of infection.
8Step EightUse garlic juice and acidophilus as a douche. Mix two capsules of garlic or fresh garlic juice with a quart of warm water and use as a douche. Alternate with an acidophilus douche made by mixing two capsules of acidophilus in a quart of warm water. 9Step NineBathe with vinegar to relieve symptoms. Fill the tub about hip deep with warm water and add 1/2 c. vinegar. Soak with legs apart until water cools. 10Step TenTake vitamin C. This will help build up your immune system.
11Step Eleven Use garlic capsules to fight the infection, or try colloidal silver. It has antibiotic properties that reduce inflammation and promote healing. 12Step Twelve Take biotin. It helps inhibit the growth of yeast.
First of all, you must see your Dr. to determine this is bacteria.the Dr. will write a RX to clear it up for you.
Isn't that a yeast infection, if so you buy over the counter medication for if internal or external (pills or a cream).

How can I cure a whitehead pimple on my pubic area?

I HAVE A WHITEHEAD, TO WHAT I THINK IS A PIMPLE, ON MY PUBIC AREA. I'VE HAD A BOIL BEFORE IN THAT AREA, SO I DON'T FEEL THAT IT IS A BOIL BECAUSE THIS STARTS OFF AS A WHITEHEAD, RATHER THAN IT BEING A BUMP THEN A WHITEHEAD.I FEEL THAT IT IS CAUSED BY A HAIR FOLICULE THAT I REMOVED 2 DAYS BEFORE.HOW CAN I CURE THIS?AND BY THE WAY, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY BOYFRIEND AND IF YOU FEEL THAT THIS IS A GROSS QUESTION, DON'T ANSWER IT! DUH! ALSO. I DON'T THINK PROPER HYGEINE HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT!
Answer:
use a hot compress on it twice a day. i had a bikini wax and i had a reaction where there were whiteheads all over down there and 2 huge red bumps I went to Dr. and it was called folliculitus (infected hair follicle) they went away in a few days but do th ehot compresses on it.
I would treat it just like any other hair bump. Get a clean tweezer, and see if you can pluck the hair out of the follicle. Then I would wipe the area the hair came out of some sort of astrigent. Like what you would use on your face, after you wash.
you should really get it checked out its probly STD's...sorrry but really you should look into it.

How can i cover or get rid of the red under my nose after a cold.?

i just got rid of a cold but i have irratated red skin under my nose.
how do i get rid of it?
Answer:
vasoline or chap stick
try some Carmax or some lotion for very dry skin %26%26 stop rubbing it.
Put desitin on it.
Aloe Vera at night to help heal. Moisturizer during the day, avoid makeup if it's rough. Concealer, under foundation as it starts to heal (but you probably won't need it).Glad that your over the worst of it!
Don't rub it first of all. I know it's irritated and itchy but that will only make it worse. Dab a little vaseline on it at night to moisturize. My secret for a red, dry nose... chapstick. Rub some on the irritated area and it should clear right up. It's got intensive and sensitive moisturizers that won't burn.
It;s just dryed out from all the blowing of your nose' so put some lotion on it everytime you think of it' for a week or so and it should go away' as itls just dry skin.lol
Try using medicated blistex. its tube like thing! it really works after 1 day. my nose wasnt red anymore
The red is actually chapped. The mucus draws moisture out of your skin, as do the tissues.Treat with heavy-duty moisturizer that is fragrance free. A favorite is vasaline petroleum jelly. It will seal the skin against further moisture loss, help it heal underneath, and not irritate your already sensitive skin like hand-lotion might.
Just wait. I put some make up on it sometimes if I don't want people to notice.
Each time after you blow your nose, dab some kind of lotion around it. Not after your cold is done, but while you have it and you wont have such a red nose if you keep it moisturized. Its annoying to have to keep moisturizing but its worth it. I use Gold Bond Ultimate Healing Skin Therapy Lotion and my nose is only a little pink after I have a cold.. Good luck.

How can I correct inverted nipples?

I am a guy and I have one inverted nipple and one regular. The other one I popped it out, it bleed a little first, but it is okay now. I can't manageto get the other one out. I have tried massaging, using ice. I need help with this! Is there any natural ways i can get it out? If yes, give me some advice
Answer:
This could be embarrassing, but you can use a breast shield. It's for pregnant women who have inverted nipples to retrain their nipple so that they can breastfeed. You can buy them online and tape it into place on your chest. Or get one at a pregnancy shop and pretend it's for your wife.
Good luck

How can i convince my GP...?

Im taking Accutane that can cause depression there problem is i've suffered depression for many years way before the accutance I want the GP to prescribe me Anti - Depressants and to NOT cancel my Accutance prescribtion for my acne Accutane has not one bit caused a depression in me, as i've already had one How can i convice her that the accutane has not effected me , or caused any depression? as i've had depression before i took the drugs
Answer:
By getting across to her, that you know your body more then she does. Tell her you became depressed well before taking Accutance.
You have suffered with it for years and need help. Maybe counselling.
The Doc probably knows somehting that you don't, like let say some crazy sideaffect of combining the two meds.I say step away from the pills! There are other ways to achieve clear skin and whole mind without meds. Look into your diet. Both depression and skin problems can be traced back to not so perfect diets. A body cleanse would do you good. It would erase the toxins from your body that normally come through in your skin. It would also help eliminate any toxins that poison your mind into depression. Relying on meds will get you no where. You body will adapt to them and you'll just end up needing more therefore poisoning the body and mind even further into disease.

If a medication is known to promote depression and a patient is taking that medication, does it make sense to continue to prescribe that medication? Regardless of whether the person was depressed before or not. What if said person is really depressed and then goes out and commits suicide while on the medication, after it was brought up that said person was depressed? Do you think the surviving family members might want to have a word with the GP? In the States, that's a liability law suit waiting to be filed.Risks have consequences and your GP rightly views your overall well-being as her responsibility. I too would discontinue an 'optional' medication (accutane) if it presented unacceptable risk. Listen to her. Treat the depression and then you can re-consider the acne treatment.Good luck
You don't say how long you've been on Acutane, the side affects of some medication can take quite a while to surface, especially depression. If you are really against coming off the Acutane you should give her a detailed description of all your bouts of depression, when they started, how long they tend to last, severity, anything you can think of that might have triggered some of them off, tell her the lot!
Some drugs of course can have a depressive affect on the body but If you've had depression prior to using them it can't be proven that continuing to take them will make any significant difference. Only you will know if it worsens the depression of course. It's a bit of a vicious circle and of course if your acne is worrying you then that will add to your depression anyway.
Just be honest with her about the depression and if you don't feel she's addressing the problem or really listening to your point of view maybe you should have a second opinion, they might say the same but you never know.
I do think some Doctor's aren't much good at treating depression I know from personal experience with my Mum, I suffer with it too but after the way she's been mismanaged I've steared clear of Doctors, although it has been very difficult at times. Has you're Doctor advised you about alcohol being very depressive, if you do drink it will certainly be adding to the problem. Has she given you any advise on alternative methods of dealing with depression or given you information about homeopathy clinics in your area that maybe able to advise you on aternative acne treatments. These don't work for everyone and if your present treatment is doing the trick then it mighn't be advisable to change it but she should advise you on other services available that might help with both the acne and the depression problems.
I hope she really listens to you next time and she sorts out both problems. I hope you're feeling better soon, all the best!
If your GP thinks he should take you off a medication due to contra indication he will assesss the situuation go talk to him he will advise you if you should take them or not at the end of the day it is your choice. as long as you understand the pros or cons your GP will leave the decision to you.
Ask for counselling.
Try a topical(on the skin) med for the acne, i used dalacin T and it cleared right up. I know how you feel it would only make you more depressed if you gained bad acne. I didn't want to take any tablets but things got on top of me an i now take anti - depressants and i feel a whole lot better, no more bursting into tears every 10 minutes for no reason. Good luck

How can I clear my throat?

Im sick, I think its mono because my throat hurts (only the left side), my ear aches (again, the left side), my neck is achy and I been really tired lately. Its been like this for a couple days now.How can I clear my throat? My voice sounds bad right now, obviously shows Im sick. Its quiet and I cant even speak right. Any suggestions? What should I eat or drink? I been drinking orange juice and water lately, but the orange juice hasnt been helping. I been trying to eat, but its so hard because of my throat.
Answer:
the orange juice could be making things worse rather that better if your using a brand that uses lots of sugar. The sugar will stick to your throat.Try to avoid milk too.If it's been hurting that long, you should probably see a Doctor.They'll give medicine that you gurgle to numb your throat.hope you feel better!
Besides seeing you Doctor. Some home remedies you could try: Eat soft foods, cold desserts ie popsicle, ice cream. OJ might make it worse cause it's acidic.

How can i check for testicular cancer?

i have varicocele on my leaft testicle which is a bunch of vains and its a problem for me because when i try to feel my leaft testicle for a lump i cant the veins are blocking me and if i push too much in it hurts sometimes even for a day. any suggestions please? i have to be able to check for cancer but i cant.
Answer:
The gold standard for checking for testicular cancer is a Sonogram. I am a Sonographer, and if you are concerned about it, an ultrasound once a year should do the trick. A varicoceal can make it difficult to perform self examinations. Your Doctor can order the ultrasound testing for you. It does not hurt, and takes only 15 minutes. Once again, an ultrasound is the GOLD standard, and does not involve injections, or X-rays etc.Peace,
Gizz
if your balls are as big as watermelons
Dude, go to the doctor. Dont ask on here. You could misdiagnose it as something else, and be wrong, hence the misdiagnosis. Go to the DR. you only have 2 boys. you wanna keep em, or else you will be off balance when you ride a bicycle.
Have a check up with a doctor and explain the problem. Ask them what is the proper way to check yourself to see if you are OK. Tell them to explain in detail what to feel for, what is normal and what isn't.
You shouldn't have to press that hard to check. ICheck frequently enough that you are familiar with what your testicles feel like and look for a change. If you feel a tumor, it will be a lump that doesn't go away and gets bigger. Just try to remember where your varicosities are, what they feel like.
You may notice that they get bigger or smaller at times. A tumor won't. It would consistently get larger, and I think they tend to be well defined, sort of solid, not mushy and hard to feel. Ask your doctor. A lot of them have model testicles (or other tissues) to demonstrate what a tumor in tissue feels like.

How can I build the immune system?

Im 13 and recovering from shingles that i had a number of months ago. The shingles it's self was OK, just painful. But now im so fatigued all the time, no matter how much I sleep It's never enough, I can't be bothered to do anything. I keep getting other bugs such as colds and stuff that go round, so I never have time to get better. How can I build up my immune system to stop getting these bugs and just stop being so bloomin tired all the time.
Answer:
It is better not to eat many sweets, and things like White flour, White sugar, White rice, White potatoes, White salt. you should still eat these things but not all the time. You need sugar so don't stop eating it all together just with things you don't NEED to eat like candy. Also fast food is not the best thing to eat either.
multivitamins, B complex, C complex, iron. iron deficiency can cause fatigue.
you have to see a dr. and they can tell you which ones you need or are low
Excersise, eat fruits and vegatables, drink lotsa fluid , and under a doctors care vitamins may help, and speaking of a doctor when was the last tim eyou had a physical, and ya dont want to get physical symptoms mixed with possiable depression, you may need to seek profesional help as well, take a look at what is really goin on around you and decided wher eyou need to go
A good multi-vitamin/mineral supplement will help your entire system (you could probably use all the nutrients in a good supplement, most people don't get enough essential nutrients from their food).
Vitamin C, Beta-carotene, and Vitamin K help the immune system, as well as echinacea, golden seal, and ginseng.
You should drink cranberry juice and eat yogurt this should help you.
fresh fruits,raw veggies and lots of both, eat several small meals a day instead of 3 large meals,drink lots of water and get out into the sunshine.hope you feel better soon
Look into taking vitamins specific into boost your immune system. Also, eat plenty of foods that are known to give your immune system a one up, like oranges.
Here is a good site that offers many vitamins that have been proven to do your body better than the store bought ones: http://cstarr.qhealthzone.com/default.as...
I have a weak immune system due to a history of health problems, and these do wonders. I usually felt very fatigued, but I'm gradually feeling more and more better.
Echinacea is great for when you start getting bugs. It really gives your immune system a big fat wake up kick and helps you get over things faster. If your not into having a vitamin regimen, at least keep echinacea on hold. It's a wonderful thing to have.

Tell your parents to call your MD and have them run a cbc on your blood.
It should check your IGG levels and perhaps you are still compromised.Our middle child suffered from low to no igg levels and we just watched her diet. Lots of healthy food, vitamins and extra b and c's.. and rest you may need 9 + hours a night. (10-12 if you say are 13).. and wash your hands ALL the time.
Carry hand gel - too
You need to eat well, get exercise and sleep and live a healthy livestyle.You should talk to your parents about taking an Immune Booster. My family takes Immune Alert, which we have found very effective. They have formulas for adults and children. If you need more information feel free to contact me or check out their website at www.immunealert.com.I hope you starting feeling better!

How can I boost my 17 month old immune system?

my son of 17 months is always getting sick from the common cold, to a blocked %26 runny nose to a chest infection how can I boost his immune system so he can fight this off without taking antibiotics?
Maria
Answer:
I can totally related to how you are feeling with your son. I have a 26-month-old and he started going to day care when he was 18 months. They may as well call day care, bug fest.Anyway, we started giving him an immune booster called Immune Alert and have been thrilled with the results. It is made from an all-natural extract from baker's yeast (beta glucan) that has been proven to boost the immune system. They make kids and adult formulas.While all the other kids have gotten really sick at day care -- with some parents having to stay home with them or arrange alternative care for weeks at a time -- ours has motored right on. That's not to say he is never sick, he does get the occassional runny nose but it remains at that and passes quickly. Our pediatrician has been amazed at how healthy he has stayed at day care. And best of all, he loves to take this supplement -- he begs for his "vitamin" every morning -- which comes in a chewable cherry tablet for kids.Go to www.immunealert.com and get a free trial (you pay shipping), you'll be happy that you did!
Fresh fruit and vegetable. An infants vitamin may also help.

How can i avoid the shaving rash??


Answer:
Firstly you are much better wet shaving than electric. Use the best razor, Gillette Fusion, together with the fusion shaving foam. It really is an excellent combination. After shaving wash, dry and use a moisuriser rather than an after shave lotion. Body shop do an excellent face protector for men.
Don't shave
use hair conditioner instead of shaving foam
shaving cream...or a mild soup.
I can only shave after a hot shower or i get razor burn .
when i was younger i only shaved with soap and never had a problem.
Always shave with a wet or shaving cream lathered face/leg/etc.
make sure you are using enough shaving cream or soap, use a clean razor kept in a dry place.
try using an aqueos cream after shaving makes your face feel soft and clears up any rash
When you shave your neck shave upwards with the razor
never down ,
Where do you get a rash? Downstairs? Bit of fluff on the top lip? Underarm? Legs?Asked the wife, she said if you rub the hair first so they stand upright and then use shower gel or hair conditioner (hair conditioner suppose to be better) then that should do the trick.As for us blokes, we have to miss a day or two and experiment with wet or dry shavers to see which is better. I have to use foam and wet shave with the little soap strips.Now she can get back to watching Big Brother.
Make sure that the area to be shaved has been wet, which soften the hair follicles making it easier for the hair to be removed from the follicle without the follicle being irritated. If you are shaving anything the armpit or anything below (arms, legs, groin), then sit in water for a little while or shave right after a shower. Shave in the direction that the hair is growing in. For example, the hair on your legs grow downwards (towards your feet). Place the razor at your knee and move down toward the feet. After you shave a warm, moist towel should be applied to soothe the hair follicles and prevents hair from curling back into the follicle, which causes the bump. Make sure to use a sharp clean razor because dull razor cut your skin and razors that are not clean can cause infection. Make sure to use a lot of shaving gel. Wash your body with antibacterial soap like safeguard or dial. I hope that I have helped.

How can i avoid the shaving rash??


Answer:
there is a great product called tend skin. i get it from the local beauty salon but you could try the link below...
m x
wax
dont shave...
If you shave in the direction of hair growth it doesn't completely stop but will reduce rash! Also this stuff called binki zone stops rash and bumps
I shave and then get straight into the shower so the skin is wet for the next 10 minutes... helps a bunch.I also use the "advanced protection" shave gel...
get a mach
By using a cream like Palmer's Cocoa Butter on your face first or on the legs whatever,then applying a shave gel /soap that's also for sensitive skin.Keep your razor clean and dry,no sharing. Remember you guy's have a complexion under the beard,no different that us girls,and you can have worse problems because you shave more frequently. Take care. SW RNP
aloe vera cream is so good for it it really helps!!!
Make sure your blades are sharp, use a good gel or cream, be gentle and rinse the razor often, even between every one or two strokes if necessary. Go slowly. Another thing to try is to us olive oil for your shave base. This is very smooth and soothing to the skin.

How can i avoid dry scaly skin on my feet?

Sometimes the skin becomes too hard and it breaks and starts to bleed.
Answer:
Are you around the beach alot? They have all these foot polishers and exfoliants for the feet, but what alot of people dont know is that sand does the same thing. If you are around a beach I would suggest taking a walk on the sand and in very shallow water. If not then just soak your feet for a good 10 minutes before using one of those exfoliating scrubs or a pumice stone. You can get those scrubs pretty cheap at the store.
Do you moisturize your feet daily? You may need to use a mosturizer on your feet to keep them from getting so hard.
wear lotion
Use good moisturizers.
It may sound slimey, but vaseline or vaseline-based moisturizers will work the best. Just put socks on after-ward and do it just before bed so they get to soak all night %26 be moisturized for our up-coming sandle weather. Mary Kay has a very nice moisturizer for this: Extra Emollient Night Cream $11 for a tube of it %26 worth every penny. It works great on any spots of dry to 'very dry' skin you have.
If you know someone who is a consultant, ask them for some. If you don't know anyone, you can locate a local consultant at %26lt;www.marykay.com%26gt;.
It's best to use lotion before your feet are dry and scaly. Also wear socks.
exfoliate skin with pumice stone. lotion

How can I ?

I have been told by my Dr that I have a mild form of Gout . How can I get rid of it as my Dr wasn't very helpful, she told me to have it tested once a year ? what should i do ?
Answer:
Gout is a condition that causes pain, inflammation and swelling in one or more of the joints. It occurs in 'attacks', which means that it affects you for a period of time, but will subside eventually, even without treatment. However, if left untreated, the attacks can sometimes become more frequent and last longer.
It affects about one in 200 adults, most commonly men between 40 and 60 years old. Gout affects women less often, but when it does it is usually after the onset of the menopause. In rare cases young people and children can be affected.
Although gout is a common condition, there are effective ways of treating the pain, reducing the inflammation, and preventing more attacks.It is often possible to prevent the return of attacks of gout. Reducing your alcohol intake and improving your diet to reduce the amount of purines that you take in (and therefore the level of uric acid in your blood), not only helps treat the symptoms of gout, but helps to prevent further attacks as well.
If you are overweight, try to lose some weight. Again this will help to lower the level of uric acid in your blood. Your GP will be able to advise you about losing weight safely, and cutting down on alcohol.
quit drinking
Why are you asking me? I'm not a medical professional
avoid dairy products as much as possible.
I don't think there is a cure, my father in-law has it. Its like a build of of fluid in certain areas of the body, (he has it in his foot). He has good and bad days. But he has it quiet bad. I know some diets help, like cutting out alcohol and acidy foods. But he does have to take pain killers.
Goat is a kind of arthritis - it can be hereditary and is not always down to being overweight/an excessive drinker (as people assume) You can minimize attacks of gout by diet and looking after yourself.Try to cut down on red meat and oily fish. You should also avoid excessive alcoholExercise that jolts the joints cant start it up - so avoid running on hard surfaces etc. Invest in some 'cherryactive' - its a concentrated cherry drink - You add a small amount to a glass of water everyday and drink it. It really helps to reduce attacks - I learned about it on the internet but I was encouraged to see leaflets advertising it in my doctors surgery..its expensive but dont be put off it really helps - ps it doesn't taste that great either.If you start getting regular attacks the doc can prescribe a daily pill.dont worry - it can be treated really sucessfully - but the best treatment is what you can do yourself. Your doctor doesn't sound very helpful - see someone else if you need to go back.Good luck - hope you feel better soon.

How can hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) cause weight loss?

After my miscarriage (3 mos. pregnant) I started to lose weight for what seemed like no reason. Then I got pregnant again and gained weight like normal, carried the baby to term and now my baby is 14 mos. and my weight is lower than ever! (93 lbs)- I cant' seem to gain. I went to a doctor who specialized in thryoid since my mom has this but she gains weight. He said in a small percentage of people who have underactive thyroid there is weightloss. I'm just wondering how can this be true and if anyone has ever heard of this...
Answer:
usually you would gain weight like your mom.maybe you haven't the energy for cooking or eating- look at your total intake over the day and see if it matches up. Also- are you on replacement like eg, levothyroxine? sometimes, you will end up a little hyperthyroid, if your dose is too high, or your own thyroid starts to function properly.
After having my thyroid removed and then becoming hypothyroid until I was on the proper medication, there was a period where I lost weight. I thought it was because my appetite level decreased a lot. The weight loss was temporary and when my appetite returned so did the weight.

How can humans habor microoranisms on & inside their bodies withouth experiencing symptoms of infection?


Answer:
The human body plays host to many organisms, both on the skin and inside the body. Many of these are benign and even helpful to us. They are our resident flora. They aid in digestion and control the numbers of harmful bacteria, viruses and molds (yeasts), keeping them in balance. Upsetting the balance of good to bad, opens the door to illness.Of the millions of organisms, very few are pathogenic, that is, capable of causing disease. Even when there are present those organisms known to be pathogenic, they must be in numbers sufficient to cause a problem. Our immune system ordinarily handles these efficiently.Pathogenic bacteria, for example, are opportunistic. They must have a way in - usually a break in the skin or by ingestion and inhalation. Again, the numbers must be sufficient to cause a problem.Our mouths harbor millions of bacteria and viruses. Routine and regular oral care removes many of these and our saliva also helps to kill bacteria. Tears have a mild antibacterial effect. The tiny hairs (cilia) in our respiratory tract work to remove invaders and are coughed, sneezed or expectorated out in mucus (another body defense mechanism). Digestive acids kill off harmful bacteria and viruses.Our bodies have many defense systems - an intact skin being the most important barrier and an intact, healthy immune system being another.
Our body's infection fighting organisms differentiate between good and bad organisms.
Not all bacteria are infectious or harmful. Some are beneficial, in fact.
the germ usual is encapsulated and usu no both to host like with TB people carry it and it can make then sick later in life when immunity decreases.people even carry around hiv thas dorment.
only a few types of microrganisms are harmful. The rest can live inside your digestive tract or your airway without causing any problem. As a matter of fact there are some that are required for a healthy digestive tract.

How can ears be popped?


Answer:
Chewing gum, yawning and blowing hard through your nose while holding both nostrils closed. Usually one of those 3 will work.
by blowing your nose through both nostrils.. and blowing to hard.
Blow up a balloon.
drink water and try swallowing your saliva :(, sucking on a hard boiled sweet is best
Hold your nose closed, take a deep breath and try blowing through your closed nose, that should do the trick!
blow ur nose hard, every time i blow my nose my ears pop
Hold your nose and put air out through it at the same time.
by blowing your nose,or eating a chewy sweet, these have worked for me in the past.
try closing your nostrils and try to blow through them. yawning also does the trick sumtimes.
I guess you have a mucus plug, blocking your Eustachian tube, this traps a column of air under pressure.. It will clear anyway with time. An oral decongestant like pseudoephedrine might help, so might steam inhalation.

How can drining alcohol (Beer) affect my asthma?

I had asthma most of my life, (I am 34) and a few of my friends that having beer is bad for my asthma. I seldom have a beer (only when I go out to eat at a supper club I will have a beer or two [two is my limit] before I eat my meal) What would happen to my asthma if I only have a like 2 beers. I don't think anyting would happen, but it is only like once every other month I will have a beer. But why are some of my freinds concerned?
Answer:
Pauly
Asthma is a disease whose hallmark is to be reversible and usually has triggers "substances that make it active", most asthmatics learn to recognize their triggers, it seems that beer is not one of yours as you have been able to have it in the past with no problems.
I will caution you on making sure that you are not overlooking your symptoms when you drink, also I would go to get a spirometry to make sure your asthma is controlled and ask your doctor about the ACT (asthma control test) test (it takes 2 minutes to fill out)
lastly your friends are concerned because they care, as stated above alcohol may be atrigger for some people
You can't drink any beer so is dangerous for your health you have to take care with this. Let me tell you I am 30 years, I was sick with asthmatic bronchitis for 12 year, I went to many doctors and I also changed my place residency because of the weather, when I go out without sweater I get back sick, I couldn鈥檛 went out to any place and in every season I was sick in the hospital about one or two weeks. Since one day someone advices me to take Asteracea鈥檚 flour (ASTEXPECT) now I will be in the hospital because the season but thanks to this not. I thank to you because you help me a lot with this treatment. for this way i recommend you to take care of your health.
I have asthma. I can drink some kinds of alcohol, but not others. For example, red wine gives me problems because it contains sulfates, a known trigger for many asthmatics.I usually have no problem with beer or hard alcohol if I'm symptom free. However, if I have even the slightest sign of asthma, I avoid alcohol just to be on the safe side. (Some studies contradict this, saying that alcohol can actually help some asthmatics... I haven't tried to test this.)But the reaction varies from person to person. I have a friend with moderately severe asthma, and he doesn't have any problems with getting extremely drunk during parties (other than making a fool out of himself, of course -- haha). I have a professor who says she can't even sip a taste of alcohol or her lungs close right up.Most people with asthma shouldn't worry about being limited in the things they enjoy... so long as they have their doctors' approval. Your friends are being cautious; unless you have an unusually low tolerance for alcohol, two beers isn't typically a problem for most people with asthma.If you're interested in reading more on the subject, check out this article that I've linked below. Good luck to you!
alchohol slows your breathing..and you know what happens when you don't or cant take a deep breath..plus if you are on regular ashma meds, mixing with any alchohol is dangerous..ok that said, i have an asthma condition also and on special occasions i have a couple glasses of wine..have had no side affects yet..i truthfully don't think 2 beers once a month will hurt you..but then i am not a doctor

How can digit clubbing and pethicheae arise as complications of infective endocarditis?


Answer:
peticheal haemhorrages are from microemboli causing infarction. No one is sure about clubbing but its suggested to be an immune phenomenon not a result of secondary hypoxia.
Cutaneous manifestations are common with ABE or SBE.Those include petechiae involving the upper trunk,mucous membranes and distal extremities,painful erythematous subcutaneous nodules on the tips of digits,and non-tender hemorrhagic macules on the palms or soles. These are the results arising from blood cell destruction and damage,especially platelets, from acute or chronic infections,and organ damage to the liver and kidneys. Oral antbiotic prophylaxis is required before certain surgeries and invasive procedures. Take care SW RNP

How can dark marks be faded fast?

The skin on my upper lip has darkened. So, it looks like I have facial hair when I don't. I don't know if this was caused by my pregnancy, or too much waxing. Can I get rid of this fast, or do I have to be patient?
Answer:
Dark pigmentation can be hereditary, due to lifestyle habits such as diet and smoking, skin irritation (or waxing as you've indicated), pregnancy, or environmental factors.As with all skin discoloration, fading is gradual and requires patience.Some treatment options are:
- Applying pure, unrefined shea or cocoa butter to the affected areas
- Using pure aloe vera juice directly from the plant leaf
- OTC hydroquinone skin lighteners on SOLELY dark spots, which I do not recommend, due to the fact that they may cause cancer after prolonged use, further darkening of the skin and irritation
- Vitamin C tablets (taken internally and applied topically to the skin in pure, powder form)
- Vitamin A, Retin-A (extra-strength perscription)
- Tomato juice, lemon juice, or onion juice applied ONLY to dark spotsAlso try researching some Ayurvedic remedies on Google or Yahoo.Best of luck
GiGi*
talk to your dermatologist or gyn.
Im having the same problem. It gets worse when Ive been in the sun along with some other brownish spots. I have been using a little hydrogen peroxide on the brown/ dark areas lately and it seems to help a little. Ive seen lemon juice suggested though so that might help. good-luck.

How can Chikungunya disease be eradicated?

Health matter
Answer:
There is no specific treatment for Chikungunya. Vaccine trials were carried out in 2000, but funding for the project was discontinued and there is no vaccine currently available. A serological test for Chikungunya is available from the University of Malaya in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.Chloroquine is gaining ground as a possible treatment for the symptoms associated with Chikungunya and as an antiviral agent to combat the Chikungunya virus. According to the University of Malaya, "In unresolved arthritis refractory to aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, chloroquine phosphate (250 mg/day) has given promising results." [2] Research by Italian scientist, Andrea Savarino, and his colleagues in addition a French government press release in March 2006 [3] have added more credence to the claim that chloroquine may be effective in treating Chikungunya. The CDC fact sheet on Chikungunya advises against using Aspirin. Ibuprofen, Naproxen and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are recommended for arthritic pain and fever.Infected persons should limit further exposure to mosquito bites, stay indoors and under a mosquito net. Further, "supportive care with rest is indicated during the acute joint symptoms. Movement and mild exercise tend to improve stiffness and morning arthralgia, but heavy exercise may exacerbate rheumatic symptoms." [4] Arthralgia remains troublesome even after 8 months.

How can cancer cells be killed without damaging the good cells ?

Besides using surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, cryotherapy, immunotherapy or hormone therapy.
Answer:
If you could figure this out, you would win many awards.Good luck.
blood transfusions if its Lukemia
i don't think there is such a thing.
Some believe by restoring the alkaline levels of the human body cancer can be killed. Increase water intake. Check out Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About by Kevin Trudeau, he has some great info.
Tough question to answer when you exclude all the top treatments.Maybe they could build microscopic robots that can fire laserbeams from there eyes to go in and pick off each cancer cell one by one.
:P
Reishi Mushroom. Just heard about this treatment and looked it up on the internet, very interesting.Too much info to put here so if you are interested you can research it too. I was pretty amazed.

How can anerexic people survive?

i was just wondering cause i know i wouldn't be able to live w/out eating. it would be better if an anerexic person was to answer this or if someone knew someone who was anerexic.
Answer:
Well as a nurse I would be happy to give you a simple, short explanation.
To answer this, first I will define. Anorexia is the loss of appeptite. It can be seen with depression, fever, malaise, certain illnesses or as the side effect of some medications such as chemotherapy for cancer. It can also be seen in alcoholism and drug addiction such as cocaine. The type of anorexia I believe you are referring to is known as anorexia nervosa. This is defined as an eating disorder marked by weight loss, emaciation, a disturbing body image, and a fear of weight gain. People with this disorder lose weight by excessive dieting and purging of calories. So how can one survive without eating?
In prehistoric times, man's body became adapted to the environment by evolving to live through times of starvation. However, in modern times it is very unlikely that one would need to survive for months without eating. But our bodies are still equiped with many mechanisms and processes to help us survive.
Your body responds to lack of food which is energy by slowing down cellular processes. Metabolism is the rate at which your body burns energy at rest, just to keep all your normal body functions going. (ie: heart beating). The metabolism slows to preserve energy, and relies on stored glucose for energy. Next the body uses stored fat and changes it to glucose for energy. Eventually, if the body is still not getting the food it requires it will break down muscle to use as energy. A person may become more tired, fatigued, malaised, and soforth. This is known as cachexia, or muscle wasting. After a sustained period of time without nourishment, the person will go into full on organ failure. The kidneys will shut down. The liver will die. and so on and so forth. There is also a danger of sudden cardiac death if starvation continues.So thankfully, if we are ever stranded on a deserted island, our bodies will survive on very little (nuts %26 berries). But eventually if the rescue ship doesn't show up for a while, we'd better learn to fish and hunt because death is the only alternative.In the above explanation, I do not mean to make light of the disorder. Society has alot to do with it though. We are raised in a culture where food is boundless and endless. Yet we are bombarded with images of rail thin girls on magazines and music videos. Society has told us that being 5'11" and 112 lbs is beautiful. Young girls think they need to starve themselves so they will be thought of as beautiful. I say, lets stop giving our money over to the magazines and designers who hire these rail thin models. Let's start paying to see REAL girls and women. REAL meaning a girl who is 5'5" and 135 or 145.
Sadly, if someone is unable to overcome their anorexia, they don't survive.
Anorexia, even if overcome, can lead to long-term health complications as organs can be damaged by starvation. Karen Carpenter (of 'The Carpenters') was anorexic for a time and I have often seen quotes attributing her early death to her being anorexic. In fact, having overcome anorexia, she died due to heart failure - her heart having been weakened during the time she was anorexic.
Well, actually 1/5 of them don't survive. They fool themselves into believing that they don't NEED food. Many of them figure out the minimum amount of calories per day to survive, however, and eat just that amount and stop as soon as they reach it every day. Others are forced to eat by family and friends occasionally so that fuel keeps them going. And others enter recovery clinics or are hospitalized constantly where they are forcefed just so they can live.
In reality, you don't ENTIRELY stop eating. You just are VERY particular about what you eat and limit the number of calories you eat each day. Certain foods become "safe" foods. You actually burn more calories digesting some foods than there are in the food itself, so those foods are great. Calories are really important too - keeping to less than 800 a day, etc. (oh, and it's anorexic, not anerexic and saying someone is anorexic means they don't have an appetite. If you're refering to people with an eating disorder you say they have anorexia nervosa)
It's amazing how durable the human body is. Even in extreme situations we can endure a heck of a lot of pain. I was anorexic years ago and though that's a long time in the past, it's something I will never forget. What happens is that after you lose your water weight and 'usable' energy the human body will start eating itself. It will eat at its muscles because they store energy, it will eat at your fat reserves because they are also full of energy and nutrients. Your stomach will physically become smaller so that you feel full easier; your body tries to compensate for the pain it feels from having no energy. Your metabolism slows down drastically because any energy that you DO give your body needs to be reserved. In the end if you are truly anorexic you will die, either from starvation or from one of the myriad of other health problems it can cause. Generally after someone recovers (usually after many relapses) their metabolism stays the same so they become overweight. I went from 85lbs to about 40lbs overweight in less than 6 months when I began eating again, and then had to struggle with finding a healthy way to lose the weight and keep it off. Basically an anorexic is so overcome by emotion turmoil that the physical effects seem bearable to them, even if they wouldn't be bearable to a 'normal' person. I realize I used 'you' a lot in this post and I do not actually mean you, just a person in genearl. Cheers.
well my best friend (whose now in recovery) figured out her basal metabolic rate and ate less than half of that and exercised like mad. looking back now, she says that it was an endurance test for her, the less she ate, the stronger and more worthwhile a person she believed herself to be.

Once they have cooled down, place in a saucepan of boiling water and they return to normal, ready for the next day use.

How can a person help get someone to quit smoking and how can i understand thought he might yell at another?


Answer:
Kathy,Nobody can make anybody do anything, especially when it comes to an addiction. Only the individual can make the decision for himself.With regards to the rest of your question, I'm not really sure what you are asking. What do you want to understand, and who might he yell at?
Don't try to make someone quit smoking. It will just annoy the crap out of them. A friend of mine said he would quit when people stop trying to make him quit.

How can a person allergic to gluten& diabetic gain there wieght/muscal back?

he used to be 240lbs now is 105%26 looks like he's on his death bed
Answer:
Well without knowing more about the situation, it sounds like there's something else wrong. Typically diabetics and people that are allergic to gluten wouldn't just drop over 100lbs for no reason.That being said, weight gain happens when you take in more calories than you are burning, so increasing the number of calories and good fats (nuts, olive oil, avocados, etc) should bring the weight up.To build muscle you'll need to increase protein intake from eggs, lean meats and combining beans %26 rice.Of course you'll probably want to make these changes in conjunction with your doctor, but there shouldn't be an issue with either health issue in doing this. I would suggest mild cardio workouts while the weight is low.Once the weight comes up to a healthy one, then and only then, would I begin to exercise for muscle building, lifting weights and doing more strenuous exercise.
Is he following his diabetic and gluten free diet? Is he allergic to gluten or does he have Celiac Disease? there is a difference.
If he's recently diagnosed and just starting the gluten free/diabetic diet, it will take time. Honestly 240 is too big! He needs to see his doc for his healthy weight and BMI. If he has Celiac Disease, it takes tiem for the body to heal from the damage of gluten and it will even out in time.
Hope that helps.

How can a person afford an MRI scan for lower back problems if they do not have medical insurance?


Answer:
I would call hospital and ask if they have any programs that will help funding for a MRI scan
Lots of folks do not know they are funding programs.
~~Best of Luck~~
Move to a country that offers free medical care (e.g. the NHS is the UK).
Check with your medical center, they may provide a monthly payment plan.
Does your hospital have Patient assistance programs? My husband qualified for medicaid, surprised us. You can check these two things out.
Make prior arrangements with billing office for cash or medicare rates.

How can a doctor help me???***please READ and only SERIOUS answers!***?

i went to an audiologist, she said my hearing is moderately poor. and My ears are clogged from my sinuses. i am a teen. my parents are taking me to a ear nose and Throat specialist. I'm just wondering what they might say or do...
i usually get 3 or 4 sinus infections a year. ***WHAT MIGHT THE DOCTOR DO TO HELP ME?***
what kind of surgeries might happen? what are different options?thanks!
(MESSAGE ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON WHAT I WROTE.)
Answer:
I've been going to an ENT ever since I was born and I have a moderate hearing loss-I wear hearing aids.You'll sit in his office for a few minutes, then he'll come in.
He'll make you sit in the big chair, and look in your ears, mouth, nose.
Then he'll comment. He might say that you need:
Tubes-surgury
Tonsils/adenoids removed-surgury
nothing
Tubes are small things they put in your ears after they knock you out with anesthesia (surgury) he will not do it right away-wait a few weeks.
Tonsils adenoids taken out is pretty common, surgury, of course, and a few weeks, not right away.
He may just do nothing.
Chances are, they'll send you to the audiologist again, test your hearing, and contemplate what you'll benefit most from. It's not bad, I've been going since I was born.
My husband had surgery that opened up his sinuses. It was an outpatient thing and he had it two years ago and has only had one sinus infection since. It made a huge difference.
The ENT physician may consider removing your tonsils and adenoids to allow better drainage of your middle ear
Whatever you do, please, DO NOT HAVE SURGERY to clear up a sinus infection!! And DO NOT HAVE YOUR TONSILS REMOVED. I cant believe some of these answers. Your tonsils were given to you by God for a reason. I swear it seems doctors want to perform surgery for anything they can to make money now days. Go to www.mercola.com enter the search words "sinus infection" and you will find a better answer to your question than surgery.

How can "small ear canals" make me not hear well? **serious answers only!!**?

please explain?
where did you get this info?what can a doctor do to fix this?(i have a appointment for a audiologist. but I'm VERY nervous, and i need some idea what will happen at the apointment....HELP!)
Answer:
Well, small ear canals might be more prone to being impacted with wax, and the sound waves might not be transmitted to the inner ear as well.If the narrowing is caused by something like infection, swelling, impacted wax, or a structural deformity, a doctor should be able to fix it by relieving the underlying cause, through surgery or medicine.I imagine the doctor appointment will be similar to going to a regular doctor. The doctor will probably ask you about your symptoms, review your medical history, and examine your ears. You don't really need to be nervous.
try stretching them out

The most basic of all home remedy for acne is just as simple as eating a well balanced diet and including exercise in your daily routine.
Keep your skin clean, but don't let it get too dry, or the dry skin flakes will actually clog your pores and cause pimples.If you have some acne currently, you could try putting plain white toothpaste (make sure it's paste, not gel) on the blemishes at night. This should help dry and shrink them. Or crush an Aspirin tablet and mix with a little lemon juice until it forms a paste, and put that on at night - it will have the same effect, plus it will reduce redness.
Acne is due to hormonal changes, bad diet and unhealthy skin care habits. Sometimes, dandruff in the hair can also cause acne. Include green leafy vegetables and fruits in your diet. Drink a lot of water regularly to flush out toxins. Avoid deep fried snacks. More home remedies available at http://www.wellnesstalk.org/acne.html...

How big is a breast cancer lump?

Ive had a white mark just above my right boob for a pretty long time now but its pretty small. i am also only 13 it isnt breast cancer rite? just making sure
Answer:
Breast cancer is usually inside the breast and will vary in size. Since this is on the outside and above your breast, I don't think you have any worry. Can you feel it? Does it have thickness? Has it changed? Is it growing? Have you shown it to your mom? The very best way is to let a doctor check it out and decide. Good luck Sweetheart. Pops
it most likely isn't breast cancer... but if you want to know what it is visit your doctor to be on the safe side
Lumps can start out the size of a pea, at your age I seriously doubt that you have cancer, most girls your age get cysts and they are harmless but sometimes can be painful. Be on the safe side and have it checked out.
Breast cancers vary in size. Breast cancer would be very, very uncommon in a 13 year old but it's probably worth telling your mom or a doctor about this.
Lumps start off very small and grow rapidly. Your mark is highly unlikely to be anything other than a fatty cyst, but you need to get it looked at for your own peace of mind.

How big does a aneurysm in c.m. size before you operate and know of any natural cures to avoid surgery?

trying to avoid aneurysm operation for elderly person.
Answer:
It depends on where the aneurysm is if its abdominal (the most common) most surgeons recommend 5 cm before surgery. Depending on the condition of the patient the surgeon may opt to watch it and if it doesn't increase in size surgery may not be indicated. Unfortunately there isn't anything that will decrease the size or cure the problem short of surgery.

How bad is the AIDS crisis in Africa?


Answer:
How AIDS in Africa Was Overstated
Reliance on Data From Urban Prenatal Clinics Skewed Early Projections
By Craig Timberg
Washington Post Foreign Service
Thursday, April 6, 2006; Page A01http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/con...KIGALI, Rwanda -- Researchers said nearly two decades ago that this tiny country was part of an AIDS Belt stretching across the midsection of Africa, a place so infected with a new, incurable disease that, in the hardest-hit places, one in three working-age adults were already doomed to die of it.But AIDS deaths on the predicted scale never arrived here, government health officials say. A new national study illustrates why: The rate of HIV infection among Rwandans ages 15 to 49 is 3 percent, according to the study, enough to qualify as a major health problem but not nearly the national catastrophe once predicted.___Report: African AIDS Numbers Grossly Exaggerated May. 05, 2000WASHINGTON, DC (CWNews.com/LSN.ca) - In a watershed report, news web site WorldNetDaily.com has revealed that AIDS in Africa is defined differently than in America and that when the American definitions are used Africa's reported AIDS 'epidemic' disappears.HIV tests which are essential to the AIDS diagnosis in America are not given in Africa except to tiny samples of the population. Rather in Africa the "Bangui Definition" created at a World Health Organization meeting in October, 1985 is used to define AIDS.According to this definition, AIDS is considered present when a person is diagnosed with two of the following three symptoms combined with any one of several minor symptoms: "prolonged fevers for a month or more, weight loss over 10 percent, prolonged diarrhea." The minor symptoms include chronically swollen lymph nodes, persistent cough for more than a month, persistent herpes, and itching skin inflammation.Critics said such symptoms can be the result of a host of causes other than AIDS in that war-torn and disease-ridden continent. Rather than the tens of millions of AIDS cases in each African country as has been reported, strict accounting for AIDS by the American definition reports a cumulative total of 794,444 cases from 1982 to November 1999, according to the WHO Weekly Epidemiological Record of November 26, 1999. African countries, WorldNetDaily.com noted, cooperate in the miscount since "AIDS" reports result in massive infusions of government and private donations.____Every epidemic disease is now renamed 'AIDS' under the Bangui Definition.Mortalities (non natural) in S.A. remain at the same 2.2% P.A. that they were BEFORE AIDS. Either every other disease in the region vanished overnight or 'AIDS' is simply the old diseases with a new name. You decide.-------------In Africa, the continent supposedly being decimated by
HIV, HIV tests are rarely ever done, so there the idea
that all patients with AIDS are infected with HIV is
based entirely on supposition.At a WHO conference in the Central African Republic in 1985, U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) introduced the "Bangui Definition" of AIDS in Africa.The CDC officials later explained, "The definition was reached by consensus, based mostly on the delegates' experience in treating AIDS patients. It has proven a useful tool in determining the extent of the AIDS epidemic in Africa, especially in areas where no testing is available.It's major components were prolonged fevers (for a month or more), weight loss of 10% or greater, and prolonged diarrhea..."(McCormick, 1996). Where AIDS is diagnosed clinically, large numbers of AIDS patients test negative for HIV. As no HIV testing is required in Africa we have no idea how many AIDS cases there are HIV positive (De ####, 1991; Gilks, 1991; Widy-Wirski, 1988)._______Other conditions common in underprivileged and
impoverished communities that are known to cause false
positive results are tuberculosis, malaria, hepatitis and leprosy (Burke, 1993; Challakeree, 1993; Johnson, 1998; Kashala, 1994; MacKenzie,1992; Meyer, 1987). In fact, these are the primary health threats in Africa; several million cases of tuberculosis and malaria are reported in Africa each year - more than all the AIDS cases reported in Africa since 1982 (WHO, 1998)*.
Terrible.
AIDS/HIV,STARVATION/INADEQUATE NUTRITION,INADEQUATE MEDICAL TREATMENT AND SUPPLIES,DISEASE CONTROL,LACK OF POTABLE WATER('CLEAN' DRINKING WATER')and let's not forget "CIVIL WARS"---ALL WHICH CAN BE CLASSIFIED AS SOCIAL "SCOURGES"----- CAN ALL BE ADDRESSED,AND, MASS SUFFERING GREATLY ALLEVIATED---WITH THE INFUSION OF NECESSARY, ADEQUATE FINANCIAL RESOURCES,AND COMMITMENT,BOTH OF WHICH SEEM TO BE LACKING------COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS THAT YOUR GOD CHOSE TO ASSIGN YOUR SOUL TO/WITHIN A BODY SHELL LOCATED IN A NON-"THIRD WORLD" COUNTRY!!
pretty bad...
Really bad in parts of the continent. Some countries have almost half the population infected with AIDS. A friend of mine goes to Africa for mission work and she said the government tells them that what we do to try to help them, with medicaitons are really making them sicker. The source below is for the the CIA world factbook. Select a country from the drop down list, andt there is a section of how many are infected with AIDS. It also provides a lot more information about that country.
how bad? its too bad :/ just look at the statistics by clicking on the link below and then you will know what i mean by too bad
I recently saw a documentary about a village in Zaire where all the parents have died of AID's, and grandparents are raising their orphans; most of these children are infected too. It showed how hard it was to get AID's medicine on a regular basis for these children. It also showed how they are going hungry. Most often their diet consists of wild greens. The saddest thing about it was that most of these children looked happier than the kids you see in Walmart.
it out of control////
really bad
In some countries, over half the population are infected.It's pretty damn bad.

How bad is liver nodules for someone with hep c?

my husband just found out after having a mri he has nodules on his liver , he already had the hep c ,maybe from one of his tats he got or when he was using. he has been clean and sober for fifteen years now.but i guess his past is coming to haunt him
Answer:
well, my dear this is not a good thing . his doctor should go over this with him as to whether they can be removed or not or if they are benign or not
It depends, liver nodules with a background of hepatitis c could mean that the nodules may due to cirrhosis or worst case scenario, cancer. What else did the MRI say about the nodules? What did his doctor day about the findings? He probably would need a liver biopsy to confirm the pathology of the nodules.

How bad is it to huff gas?


Answer:
brain damage or death, is that bad enough for you?
Oh not bad at all...in fact, it's good for you. Go right ahead and huff away...
its actually very healthy...i recommend you continue sniffing gas on a regular basis. that fuzzy in-and-out of conscienceness feeling is just your body absorbing all the fuel's abundance of nutrients and suchhurry go do it now!
Have you ever seen a film burn up in a projector? It turns brown, smoke appears, and then small black holes grow larger and larger until the film curls up and it is ruined...That is what gas, spray paint, etc does to your brain. And just like the film, memories, plans, hopes, and dreams you had are lost forever.
Do you mean gas or gas? My bf likes to fart and hold the sheets up over my head ... makes me throw-up and I can't concentrate at work ... I think that's bad.
Destroys alveoli in the lungs. Setting yourself up for esophageal cancer. Other than that,,no harm done! :-(=
lol..lets just say some ppl try it and the high turns out okay but whats the point when it only last's for less than a couple min...but ppl really dont relize that you lose hecka brain cells.. and if it's really bad you can totally tell if your writing something; like how you forget the simpelist words or how to spell them..or you thing or reaact slower.. idk its not a GOOD thing to get into!
Huffing gas kills. I hope you are joking. It causes brain damage. Pot doesn't do as much damage as huffing gas. (Not that I am advocating that) Please rethink this decision.
Do you really need to ask that question. Maybe its too late for you, if you don't know that answer!
attention whore

How bad is it to hold in poop?

i know weird question but how long can you actually hold it in without something going wrong? Like when i am at work i cant go to the bathroom a lot so i hold it in about 1 hr and then i go.
Answer:
An hour or two is not going to hurt you. It sounds like you are better off than many people who can't have a bowel movement for days, and they have to have enemas or take laxatives.
more than a day i would think.
It' not really good for your body. Your poop is the waste from the food you eat, and other toxins in your body. If you hold it, those toxins will go back into your system, causing some problems. It's good to just get it out, thats why you poop; to get out the crap in your body!!
I have always heard that you should go when you get the urge to "GO". But, waiting an hour should not cause any real problems, but could cause some constipation problems. So don't wait, unless you really can't.

How bad is alcohol really for gout and is it true that good vodka is better for gout sufferer's than beer?


Answer:
Gout is a common form of inflammatory arthritis, often causing recurrent episodes of pain and swelling of the joints. Although effective therapies are available, many patients with gout continue to experience recurrent attacks. Alcohol consumption has long been suspected to be a “trigger” for gout attacks; however, this hypothesis has not been formally tested.In a study of 179 gout patients who had an attack within the previous year it was found that alcohol consumption, even a light-to-moderate amount, is capable of triggering a bout of gout.Compared with individuals who did not drink alcohol, those who drank five to six alcoholic beverages during a 48-hour period had a twofold greater likelihood of having a recurrent attack of gout.For those who drank seven or more drinks over the 2-day period, the odds for a recurrent attack of gout was 2.5-fold higher compared with those who abstained.The gout-triggering effect of alcohol occurs within a short period of time, perhaps less than 24 hours. Thus, subjects with established gout should avoid drinking alcohol. An increased risk of recurrent gout attacks was found for beer, wine, and spirits.
