Mammograms & Breast Cancer

Why does it always have to be always about the "government-overseen" health care, though? The insurance companies have, over the past 30 years, pretty much gotten in the driver's seat regarding health care, not the government.

I am willing to bet that the insurance companies will get their way with stopping healthcare reform no matter how reasonable any final bill is. There's just too much money out there for the big boys (and girls) who already ration medicines and other things to allow any meaningful change to be made.

Who suffers from severe headaches?

jlowe308 — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 07:21:19 GMT

My headache turned out to be rare called vasovascular coming from the leading artery in the back of the brain that supplies blood to the rest.It is near the brain stem and actually kill you.I am very careful when I have them and if they last longer than 2 days or I lose my vision and speech then I have to be in the hospital.They cause the blood in your head to be restricted and thats why there so dangerous.They can cause strokes and even your brain stem that controls bretahing ,temprature and blood pressure to not react nornmally.There are currently no mes available as of yet for the type of headache.Relpax and all the others can cause more restriction and can be deadly.So you just have to take it one day at a time.Sherry please have a ct scan the symptoms your having seem like a tumor,not to scare you.

My cancer test came out normal.It was a blood work up that specifically targets cancer and it ended up being ok.The problem I am having is my gland has not gone down and not only that I have severe muscle aches and am tired quite often.My Thyroid test was great but my white cell count was 11.7 and 10 is considered normal.So does anyone know of anything else I can do.Somehting keeps my white cell count up and my gland swollen and they have no clue.I have not had the contrast thing done but I have had dye ran before and I was highly allergic to it and it almost killed me so that makes me a little sceard.Any ideas?

Turkey Trots

Do any of you do Turkey Trot runs or walks in your community on Thanksgiving Day? My sister and I ran in our first 5K turkey trot this morning. It was nice to get some fresh air (even though it was COLD out) & raise money for charity. Plus, the cool free tshirt didn't hurt either. :)
