i dont know about cold medicines cuz there were researchs that suggested that some ingredients used in making cold medicines, can cause comma...so be careful before you take anything unsual...better talk to a doctor first....anyways about ur nasal congestions, yeah some anti-inflamatory drugs are cool, my mom has the same problem, allergic rhinitis...and one of her jobs is watching dogs....so bummer : ( yeah she takes a lot of nasal decongestants, prescribed by her doctor ofcorse. cool? : )

pain from former injuries? hhmmm...little do you know, ive been skateboarding for about 6 years now...so i get sprains on a monthly basis.....yeah it hurts specially if the weather gets cold....but my worst is when i dislocated my right elbow skating this rail....i didnt get surgery or anything..i just asked my friend to pop it back in...and yes it hurt like hell...i was pale and half naked when i entered the X-ray room...that was about 2 years ago...and yes my right elbow is not the same na jud, still hurst at times, like my sprains...the thing with surgery man gud is that its super expensive and im poor...hehehe...bitaw, la lang....if i can work with it, then y not dba? skate what you got! the xrays proved no fractures, and its still mobile...so i guess its good...i started going to the gym after 6 months to streghten(sorry, im a bad speller) the damaged ligaments...i still do and ok raman. so there i hope i made sense : )

what about UTI man? what test should i take to know if i have one? pap smear or urinalysis?

[karlyn]

i think urinalysis...

[ola]

Ms. Makuz I'd like to ask something, I read from a
magazine na anyone indulging to a sexual activity
must see an ob-gyne even though dli pa siya preggy.

HOW TRUE?

[makuz]

uti? urinalysis...dont premedicate yourself with antibiotics...very kuyaw for allergic reaction...so it would be super best to consult thy doctor before taking antibiotics...no offense or anything but the common factors of UTI are sexual activity and lack of hygiene..just so u guys know...

p.s if you are sexually active, no matter what age, u should have a pap smear at least once a year...to check for cervical cancer...the earlier the diagnosis, the better.

ITS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY...FO SHO!

Ms. Makuz I'd like to ask something, I read from a

HOW TRUE?

first of all...its Mr. makuz...and yes, newbies in bed often tend to be non-hygienic and unsafe...thats why its really advisable to get info and tests from ur OB-gyni...

a piece of advice, always use condoms....with the scary rates of std and what-nots now a days...unless ofcors if ur pretty sure with who ur doing it with...like ur wife/husband.

^ I'm sorry Mr. Makuz, I didn't see your gender.
Thanks for the info.

RE: hi you are a nurse right

whats the rule of antioxidant dyd.. heard lots of thoise and its the first level of body defense mechanism... can you comment about it....

well anti oxidants are supposed supplements for our body to keep healthy....but as supplements are, they dont really have the same effects on everybody...our metabolism sorta makes us unique in a way...but research has shown that antioxidants can help prevent cancer(carcinoma promotes cancer growth)...but then again its not conclusive, so the best that i can suggest is just live a healthy life, proper diet, excercise, emotional stability, and minimal stress....and cross your fingers that ur blood line doesnt have cancer cuz thats a pretty big chance of you having one...but if ever you do have a heredity of cancer....early detection and treatment is the best method so far.

yup dapat we should have a healthy living but the question is.. can we afford it nga busy mn dydta always... if dili ta mka meet sa daily RDA that means kulang ta ug Vitamins and Minerals sa atong Lawas... also exposure to our environment.. pollution and other free radical damage activities which makes us unhealthy.... so unsaon mn nto pg kblo if unsa ka dghn presence sa antioxidant sa atong lawas?

did you know that there is a device to measure the level of Antioxidant in your body?
