Hope everything turns out ok.

im still hurting alot and now it burns too...having MRCP test on saturday at 3pm to determine reason for swelling...i hope

thank you so much for asking :)

It got quiet around here.PK how are you doing?

I am so lucky someone goes for me warts and all. But of course I have no warts. LOL

Yes i have tried the vaseline on warts.I found this out by accident,had 2 warts on my fingers.I use vaseline on my hands cause of the harsh soaps in the hospital.Next thing i noticed is the warts were getting smaller and finally gone.

No lie. Back in high school my girlfriend's mom took me to see an old man in the mountains. I had a plague of warts covering both hands...very odd. He rubbed my hands gently, half closed his eyes and mumbled some sort of singing incantation the words of which I could not understand. The next morning I woke up and the warts were gone! I swear this happened.

As a kid, we just used to bite them off continually till they were no longer there

have you tried this??

thank you everyone for the support and additional info :)

All will be well.

Rub in vaseline every day and your warts will die due to being smoothered.

Follow your Drs orders.Write down any questions so you don't forget.

Sorry your wrong.

Pancreatitis is not life threatening. Get well.

Hi Princess Kammy, I have briefly talked to Usurper about pancreatitis (which could possibly be the condition you have?)
Have a look at this site www.pancreatic-disorders.com/
There are also other sites of help & also my partner who has suffered from pancreatitis for about 12 years can offer advice :o)
Hope you Get Well Soon!

no he does not have me checking my sugar at this time.

PK,
Fasting blood sugar is no food or anything to drink after midnite,only water is allowed.
Watch the sugar and the carbs,pasta,potato,bread.
Carbs take the longest to digest and turn right to sugar.Anything with white flour.
Watch for thirst,excessive hunger,fatigue.Does the Dr have you checking your sugar?

thank you Greg baby,,and thank you LongJohn it means a great deal to know im not the only one who ges into shock at first lol

I agree with Usurper, I wouldn't have thought to ask at the moment of being told either.
My first reaction has always been one of ignorant denial until I have a little quiet time to think.

ok what do you mean by fasting blood sugar...and i always thought that anyting over 200 was bad...never knew

PK,
165 is high for a fasting blood sugar.Normal is about 70 to 110.

Yes it is hard to ask questions or even know what questions to ask before one knows what the problem is or what part of the body is being effected, etc. And even then (when it is me) it oftens takes me getting my thoughts in order...I don't realize how much I don't understand until I've reflected afterwards. So I determine to ask the doctor at next opportunity, prepare a list of questions etc. Or else do some research....or ask others like Kammy has done here. Not all of us are as quick on our feet as others.

no hystory of diabetes in family...last CBC for blood sugar was like 165 or something like that...that was my first concern when i heard insulin....and Linda he didnt mention pancreas or reason for CT until after recieved results....both he and i assumed was residual endometriossis pain or scar tissue

Produces insulin in your body.PK are you a diabetic?

When need for cat scan came out his mouth,the 1st out of mine would have been why and what is a pancreas,what does it do?

plus i have only dealt with the doc office on phone since xmas eve...date of cat scan...so havent had a chance to interrogate him as i want to

well i knew it had something to do with metabolism...but not completely sure...already had cat scan...thats what determined swollen pancreas...now waiting on MRCT scan...new test to detemine reason for swelling

Do you mean to tell me,you're supposed to have a swollen pancreas.You're waiting on a cat scan and never once asked the doctor what a pancraes was?

gulp
i guess its a necessary part then lol

My wife just told me it secrets insulin she thinks

LOL Cole....i agree on the liver issue...YUCK

OK on serious note...If anyone can tell me the functions of the pancraes i would be much ablidged

Dang !!! Vinager looks to work wonders on hair!

Liver...double bleech...I know the function of what a liver does in the body...and some one wants me to EAT IT once it comes out of a dead animal???

Harley,
Vinegar loosens the eggs from the hair shaft.Soak her hair,wait about 30 mins and comb them out.
Mayo smoothers the adults, and they can jump from one head to another.
Nit Nurse i agree with i say bring them back also.

Liver yuk........

I wash hair once a week..can't go any longer than that...
Vianger goes on when I wake up...I just got home from work.
BTW ...I do agree with ughaibu...better for the hair to have natural oils, than loading up on products.

Simplest and best "cure" for dandruff is to wash your hair less often. Shampoo removes all the oil from your scalp, respect your body it doesn't produce oil by mistake.

Starting tomorrow I will be trying the Vinager for dandruff remedy...Just didn't want to smell like a salad at work..I checked on the web and it says to work vinager in to your scalp while the hair is dry, Then to let hair dry, before washing as usual, and that it should work after a few times, I will update by Saturday.

The peanut butter for scratches on CD's looks promising, but I want to tweek it a bit before I give my results.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!! Stay safe!

It's because of the intensity of the light. Conditions of both unusual brightness or darkness increase the body's use of vitamin A. Polar bears store so much vitamin A in their livers that it's dangerously poisonous to eat. I dont remember the toxic levels but they're well above general requirements, because A's fat soluble the liver can store quite large amounts so for a normal life style I reckon a pound of pig's liver a month is plenty. It's a long time ago that I looked into these things so you might want to check if you're planning more than half a pound a day.

Come work for me so I can play more then! As IF I dont spend enough time here playing LMAO!

Oh LMAO I'm here that much and don't work on line

lmao naaa LInda i meant me! lol.. I work online all day an play the rest of the time.. I am curious as to why, if its from eye strain or what! lol

Are you referring to me Rose LMAO I'm here a lot.I know it made me need glasses

ughaibu
Why does the need for Vitamin A increase when u spend alot of time on the computer? (asks the user who is on hers 12 hours a day!)

Ahhh, they're the kind of vitamins I like, that need a bacon sandwich to absorb them, and a long stint at BrainKing. Wow, I'll really have to change my lifestyle to take these tablets! ROFL!

You should be able to buy it at a local health food shop. In order for your body to absorb it you need to take them with some kind of fat/oil, a bacon sandwich should do the trick. Spending a lot of time on the computer also increases the need for vitamin A.

Uhhh, thanks... do they do vitamin A in a tablet form?!! LOL! Dandelion isn't very appealing!

Dandelion leaves are a good source (also extremely high vitamin C content) but you should eat them untreated in a salad, they have a diuretic effect but the body quickly acclimatises. I hate watching my mother poisoning dandelions, one of the great wasted resources in the UK.

Eww, is there anything except liver?! There must be an alternative!

Yay good on you Cole! I was also interested in the mayonnaise killing head lice. My daughter gets them from school sometimes *shudder* and I have an electric comb. That does the job, but what I want to know is if there is anything for the eggs. I think its horrible knowing there may be eggs that the electric comb doesn't touch :o( Bring back the nit nurse I say!!

I think an increase in vitamin A intake might help dandruff, liver is the best source.

yes please, i am sure a few of us are curious as to whether some of these do work.. some we know will.. others ????

I will be the 'test dummy' on the vinager for dandruff remedy, and will report back.
As for useing the peant butter on the CD, it was to be scraped anyhoo, so I've nothing to loose, will get back to ya'll on that one too. :ř)
