"MRSA" stands for "methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus". This means it's a type of staph that's become resistant to the typical antibiotics that are used. A staph infection like this can arise out of just a tiny scratch in the skin, and it tends to look like an insect bite. When our micro lab sees "spider bite" for the diagnosis of a person who's culture we're looking at, we immediately suspect it's MRSA. It's become very common, and it can be hospital-acquired or community-acquired. Most hospitals now screen patients for MRSA by doing a nasal swab to see if they are carriers of MRSA, and if they are, then they're put in isolation to keep it from spreading to other patients. MRSA is treated with vancomycin or trimethoprim sulfate. It's not hard to get rid of, but it can be life-threatening if it infects someone who's immuno-compromised.

Probably for the same reason my husband and I have 9 cats; we love cats, and they love kids. I say all the more power to a couple who's got that many kids and is doing such a good job of raising them.

Are you talking about diabetes Type 2? If so, this is adult-onset diabetes, and is far from a death sentence. Depending on how severe it is, you may need to start out on insulin shots or pills. But properly managed, you'll be able to avoid complications like heart disease, neuropathy (nerve pain), glaucoma, and non-healing wounds. I know this is going to sound crazy, but Type 2 diabetes can actually be REVERSED with proper diet and excercise. You'll probably have a hard time finding a doctor who will admit this, because doctors count on patients allowing their illnesses to exacerbate themselves. Otherwise, doctors would be out of business! All you need to do is follow a meal plan that's high in fiber and low in fat (choose nutritious foods that you LIKE so it can be a permanent lifestyle and not a temporary "diet"), and find an excercise that you enjoy enough to do at least 4 times a week (mine is weightlifting). These changes will allow your body to overcome the insulin-resistance it's acquired, and the insulin normally produced by your pancreas will stabilize your blood sugar. Soon you'll find yourself feeling great, and your body will be healing itself, with no medications or doctor-intervention required. Good luck!

What are you taking it for? You need to get to the root of the problem. I had foot surgery 4 months ago (which involved having bone cut away), and was prescribed Vicadin, but I never even needed 1 pill. A lot of peoples' pain is in their mind, and doctors are way over-prescribing painkillers. Try aspirin; it's a painkiller and anti-inflammatory all in one, and doesn't have any side effects. Remember that any medication you take has to go through your liver, and it can be damaged by these toxic substances. I know of someone who destroyed her liver by taking Tylenol, and ended up dying of liver failure. You can gradually wean yourself off these prescribed Tylenols; just figure out how many per day you're taking, and try to take less each subsequent day until you're off of them. Good luck!

Sad commentary that Obama's way of "keeping the country from going all the way under" was to bail out the car makers and banks. All of those billions, plus the billions for mortgage modifications were grabbed up by the fat cats. But that's the Democrats for you. Tax and spend, that'll solve all our problems. And the housing crisis had nothing to do with "deregulation"; that was the Securities and Exchange Commission pruprosely looking the other way when Wall Street was pulling their shenaningans. That had been going on for YEARS before the housing crash. Do some research! And as for the war in Iraq, do you think it's any coincidence that Obama's waiting until just a year before the next election to pull out our troops? I think not. If a "pinched mind" means being able to see a scam artist from a mile away, well then EXCUUUUZZZE me, and my husband, my neighbors, and everybody else I associate with.

You need to go through the courts to get legal custody, but since you have the mother's compliance, this will be a much easier process than if she was working against you. Good luck to you!

do you have to remove tulip bulbs in the fall
Answers: 1

Rating: 0
Posted: 12 years ago
No, but the problem with leaving them in the ground is that squirrels like to eat them. You can prevent this by covering the area the bulbs are in with wire mesh and a layer of mulch. Also, when your tulips are done blooming, don't cut off the stalks, because they're manufacturing food that will be stored in the bulbs and used for the next year's blooms.

Anemia is caused by a decrease if red blood cells in the body. Your hemoglobin, which is a component of blood, carries oxygen to all of the tissues in your body. When you lose a lot of blood, that means you have fewer red blood cells, and therefore, you become anemic. This can cause weakness and fatigue.

There are too many digits in this number for it to be in the U.S.(there should be 10 digits, not eleven). If it is a U.S. number, 232 is Los Angeles. If it's for another country, it could be Sierra Leone; 232 is the country code.

Try checking your trash bin for deleted e-mails; as long as you haven't emptied your trash bin, they should still be there. However, there could be a time limit on how long thery're kept there before being deleted. Embarq only saves them for 5 weeks. Good luck!

Be sure you're not insulin-resistant. If you are, then whenever you eat carbs (even complex carbohydrates like baked potatoes), then your body is storing the calories as fat instead of burning them off. I would concentrate on eating a good breakfast, definitely (like oatmeal or eggs and fruit), and try eating salads with low-fat meats like checken or turkey. Skip any high-fat add-ons like cheese (cottage cheese would be good, though). Personally, I won't eat low-fat dressings, because they replace the fat with sugars, and yur body needs a certain amount of fat intake to function optimally. Once you start losing weight, you can slowly re-introduce carbs. Also, cut out all refined sugars, like candy, cake pies, and sodas. Diet drinks are okay. You also need to add muscle to your body, so lift weights; muscle takes up less room and burns more calories than fat does.
