A: Brad, Venous insufficiency is a vein problem that can cause years of escalating pain and suffering for countless thousands of people. The legs have two separate systems of veins through which blood makes its return trip to the heart. The first system, deep within the leg, near the bones, carries blood at a higher pressure than do the 2nd system, called the superficial veins closer to the skin. In order to reduce the pumping force needed to return blood to the heart, veins contain valves which allow the blood to move easily upward toward the heart, but prevent it from flowing backward between pumping phases of the heartbeat. The veins in our legs also have valves that

A: Perhaps you can get some advice from your State Insurance Commissioner''s Office or your elected officials? Sorry, that''s all I can think of right now. First, thou, take a deep breath and stay calm. Losing sleep & food will for sure make your symptoms worse, try to get back into a regular eating and sleeping schedule. It will work out however it''s going to, worry and panic won''t change that. If you can stay calm and focused and keep investigating different options, I''m sure something will help you. Is there a coumadin clinic at the local public hospital? Try to see a dr of some sort at the public hospital, they may have helpful ideas. Check if any of your doctors have other ideas. Sometimes if you draft the drs letter for them you''ll be more likely to get a...

A: I do know that God loves each and every one of us. And in lll john :2 says Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in HEALTH, even as thy soul prospereth. God wishes above all things that we be in health. Thats a Promise from God that we must claim. Claim your health back. Doctors dont have cures for many diseases, but God can heal any disease. PSALMS 103:3 ...Who healeth ALL (without exception) thy diseases. God dosent want anyone to be sick. He just wants us to believe His word, so that he can heal us. Read Matthew 21:22 And all (with distinction, acording to Gods word)things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall recieve. There is no vitamin B-17, and no, they don''t work. check out herbdoc.com, i claims to heal lot of things. i know it...

A:  When you`re 18, you can decide for yourself whether you want conventional medical care. Until then, it`s up to your parents. It`s easy enough to avoid medical treatment for simple things like mild burns, warts etc. Home remedies may work. But if you had a serious illness like diabetes, heart disease, cancer etc., wouldn`t you want the best medical treatment available? You talk about having children - what if you had a complicated pregnancy/delivery - wouldn`t you want medical help for you and your baby? As far as doctor`s offices and hospitals go, they are no more sterile than a clean house, school or any other public place - there`s contamination everywhere - you can`t avoid public places because of it. You just need to take precautions by practicing good...

A: Hi, Welcome to ehealthforum, If pre-cum or semen has come in contact with vagina, chances of pregnancy are possible. Having intercourse during menstrual bleeding/periods also does not result in pregnancy. If the symptoms occurred about 2 weeks from last periods, then chances of ovulation bleeding cannot be ruled out. Other possibility includes hormonal derangement due to stress level changes. Wait and watch for your periods. Avoid stress or practice stress relief techniques. Visit your doctor/gynecologist for further evaluation and assistance. If you are not ready for pregnancy, but intend to remain sexually active, you should consider getting started on suitable regular birth control measures to be protected (after your periods). Avoid unprotected sexual contact...

A: I just signed up for SecureAdvantage, run by United Healthcare, but I was mightily tempted by one of the Anthem programs, as their monthly cost was lower. You really do need to read the details, as they differ from one plan to another. Call some of the toll free numbers and ask for a representative to come to your house, or to explain the plans over the phone. Or, look at your Medicare 2008 booklet and find the pages where they compare various plans and give them ratings, according to stars. What state do you live in ? Hi, woodnymph2, Thanks for your reply. I will check out Secure Advantage. I am looking for a Supplement F plan, which is considered to a Medigap program, but the prices vary quite a bit from company to company. It pays what Medicare doesn''t. It...

A: Most insurance does not pay for you to. Stay. My son was in the NICU and I was discharged. He was circumcised and he was fine. It''s not open heart surgery.He''ll be fine and it''s not that hard to care for. They''ll show you. Don''t get all worked up for an extra day in the hospital,some of us waited weeks and months. WITH MY 2 BOYS THEY DID THE PROCEDURE THE MORNING AFTER THEY WERE BORN. THERE REALLY ISN''T A WHOLE LOT TO CARING FOR IT. JUST MAKE SURE IT STAYS CLEAN. IT HAS BEEN SIX YEARS SINCE MY YOUNGEST BOY WAS BORN SO SOME THINGS MIGHT HAVE CHANGE. BUT MY GRANDSON WAS BORN 9 MONTHS AGO AND I THINK THEY GAVE MY DAUGHTER THE SAME ADVICE. I THINK I HAD TO PUT...

A: Your mother"s case is NOT a slam dunk. It has several problems, age, obesity, and the cancer. Juries are reluctant to give money to someone who they think is dying anyway, and cancer sounds like a death warrant to most people. You should follow your instincts here. Malpractice lawsuits are a tough deal for most people, and your mother may not enjoy any of it. Unfortunately most medical malpractice cases are NOT won by the injured patient. Just listen to those Senators on the air today. The most they can say about Obama"s "health care" plans is that they want to limit malpractice costs for doctors and hospitals. Never a thought for the injured patient. Cost for a quadriplegic whose injury resulted from a "spinal" is about 10,000 bucks a month. how can you "limit"...

A: CONTINUED FROM POST #1 So, June 1st I go for the ultrasound on my heart and the EMG in one day. They are done at the same facility, so no biggie. Better actually since all of my docs are between 30 and 50 miles away from my house and I hate driving in city traffic! Now, I want to find out about the MRI on my brain for possible MS. My Rheumy''s office called this morning and they were still not GETTING IT! The woman on the phone said I had to wait for my tests to come back before any thing would be considered. I was like, "what tests?" I asked yesterday if my blood tests for Lupus and my bone scan had come back and the woman told me she thought they had. Well, it''s been two weeks, and if they haven''t come back, I would hope my Rheumy''s office would...
