Questions for Callaway

[Callaway]

A friend of mine worked in the US for a couple of years. She said she had paid shit loads on insurance. But having had two operations, nearly died in hospital too. She had lots of examinations, not even $100 of all her costs were covered.

That's awful, Hyke.

I don't want to insult your country but there's something wrong when you have to pay that kind of money just to get basic coverage. Lots of things are wrong with my country but health care isn't really one of them.

It would be 98 hundred a year for premiums with a 5 thousand dollar deductible. So it would basically be only good for a catastrophic event such as a heart attack or stroke , something along those lines. Actually a complete waste of money. Since I only have one medical problem ( which I handle on my own) and I seldom get sick. It would be kind of useless.

I was DX`ed with pneumonia in 1990 and was asked to leave the hospital (cause they needed my bed) and was escorted to the door by a security guard. I wasnt even given antibiotics. Through the kindness of a client I recieved medication 2 days later.

What do you think, does bad breath come from your tongue?

This apparently eliminates morning breath? WTF?

There are lots of possible causes of bad breath and the tongue is only one of them.

If you eat garlic or onions, you will have garlic or onion breath even if you brush your teeth and tongue thoroughly, because it gets into your blood and is released in your lungs.

If you forget to thoroughly brush and floss your teeth, then trapped food can decay and give you bad breath.

Also, if you smoke, your breath will smell like a dirty ashtray.

Most traditional remedies for the problem focus on reducing the total number of bacteria in the mouth. The article linked doesn't mention the tongue specifically, but it stands to reason that your tongue is one of the surfaces in your mouth most likely to harbour microbes.

Can you "partially dislocate your jaw. I think I may have during the crash. I think I "reset it" tonight

Can you "partially dislocate your jaw. I think I may have during the crash. I think I "reset it" tonight

I think you can.  I think I hurt mine keping my mouth open wide for a particularly long dental procedure.

Sometimes it pops when I'm chewing something and it hurts so much.

I wondered if it might be TMJ:

I believe you can. I had a rollerskating accident where I took the full brunt of the fall on my jaw. It hurt so much, but I didn't tell my parents in case they stopped me from going rollerskating. I do believe I also slightly fractured it as there was a hard lump there for years, a 'corn' I beleive they call it when cracked bone mends.

About 6 years later I was at a wedding, eating food and dislocated my jaw. Could barely open it for weeks but couldn't get x rayed because I was pregnant.

Basically, I did nothing about it. It's weak, but it's mended itself over the years I believe.

i would like to know about colon cancer:

are there signs to look out for if you may have it?

or should someone just go in and have a camara poking around their anus?

You should go and have a camera poked in there. It's worth the peace of mind, and they may be able to pick up the problem...ie; it may be irritable bowel syndrome. Go see a doctor.

 

Here are some signs and symptoms of colon cancer:

Signs and symptoms of colon cancer include:

■A change in your bowel habits, including diarrhea or constipation or a change in the consistency of your stool for more than a couple of weeks
■Rectal bleeding or blood in your stool
■Persistent abdominal discomfort, such as cramps, gas or pain
■A feeling that your bowel doesn't empty completely
■Weakness or fatigue
■Unexplained weight loss

Many people with colon cancer experience no symptoms in the early stages of the disease. When symptoms appear, they'll likely vary, depending on the cancer's size and location in your large intestine.

When to see a doctor

If you notice any symptoms of colon cancer, such as blood in your stool or a persistent change in bowel habits, make an appointment with your doctor.

Talk to your doctor about when you should begin screening for colon cancer. Guidelines generally recommend colon cancer screenings begin at age 50. Your doctor may recommend more frequent or earlier screening if you have other risk factors, such as a family history of the disease.

I agree with Eclair, though.  If you are having any problems at all, then go to the doctor and have the camera poking around your anus.

This is a different issue, but my doctor told me yesterday that I was probably within a day of my appendix bursting when it was removed, so if I had continued to ignore the problem and not gone to the doctor, it could have been very bad for me.

i will take the weightloss and then go see the doctor.  i have no problems with them poking around my anus.

If by "take the weight loss" you mean "delay testing till I've gotten nice and thin," please don't. Early detection gives you the best chance of success.

On average, yes.

However, the cycles of different women are different.

I don't know.  I think they may make more pheromones when they ovulate.

You are probably more horny because you know you are more likely to get a head job.
