Answers
1)   Get cured then you can have bacon flu - bob t

2)   stay away from me. - Tavannia7

3)   Get Tami-flu, get a prescription from your doctor.

It works miracles the symptoms basically stop within a day of taking it or less.
I took it, and I would highly recommend it! - Ali

4)   First, don't assume that it's swine flu. It may be the regular flu or something else entirely. That sounds a little severe for H1N1 to me, but I'm not a doctor.

Second, stay home and stay away from other people. No point in spreading whatever it is you have.

Third, call a doctor right away. - Ed D

5)   keep your snout out of the trough ,and give your belly a rest.oink oink .lol

bob t, forgot to tell you to get smoke cured - john313181

6)   Well, My Brother Had Swine Flu A Week Ago, And He Also Had Major Full Body Aches. It's Just Like A Normal Flu- Just Drink Plenty Of Liquids And Sleep Well And Relax. And Stay Warm- If You're Cold It Makes It Worse. It Should Last Only A Week And A Half At Max. - Goh

7)   Is this a health care professional's diagnoses or your own? You should probably resist any self-diagnoses and save yourself the worry.
Consult your doctor, please. - Tyson&Chino

8)   DO NOT GO TO THE DOCTOR!!!......if u do have swine flu and u go to the doctor ur going to infect every1 else in da surgery....its been 4 days treat the symptoms for the next 3 days and if u see no improvement or get worse call your doctor dont go in! x - néady-babii

Is Cirrhosis of the liver a death sentence, even if the person stops drinking?...  Please only answer if you have experience with this & list any credentials.

Answers
1)   No, it needn't be a death sentence:

2)   The person would be WAY better off to stop drinking - that will stop any further damage from the alcohol.

Here's a link to more info. - PJ

3)   it would depend on the amount of liver damage, there are some treatments but not much to do if the liver had failed. however there are many degrees of cirrhosis, and it is not commonly a "death sentence" just a symptom of liver damage. - Alex E

4)   Not necessarily, it takes time to die from cirrhosis, sometimes many years but many complications can occur and become life threatening. To continue drinking is very harmful though. Early treatment and to stop drinking can help stop damage to the liver. A lot depends on grading of the disease using Child-Pugh score. This helps to determine if a transplant will be needed, which is sometimes the only real hope of living a long term life!

Points Class One year survival Two year survival
5-6 A 100% 85%
7-9 B 81% 57%
10-15 C 45% 35%

Treatment leads to improvement in most cases when the disease is discovered in its earlier stages. Most patients are able to live a normal life for many years. The outlook is less favorable if liver damage is extensive or if someone with cirrhosis does not stop drinking. People with cirrhosis usually die from either bleeding, serious infections, or kidney failure. They often enter irreversible coma in their last days. - Stephen G

Question 3
Good gift for blind father-in-law?...  My father-in-law is *mostly* blind and in poor health from Diabetes complications. They live in Florida. We got him a couple of CD's already for Christmas, and he, of course, has an ipod, etc. Any ideas on what would be a great gift for him? I always feel badly for him because he seems to receive so little, as it is difficult to find things that are appropriate for him.
They have a dog already that he Loves very much.

Answers
1)   A PAIR OF EYES....OFCOURSE. TRY FOR IT. - RAO M.K.

2)   Books on tape, aroma therapy setup, or a Universal simplified remote for the TV. (one with large different shaped buttons) - Alex E

3)   Does he have any pets? Because my grandfather is blind, and we got him a kitten to make him happy and relax him. Sometimes love from animals can be the best gift ever. A cat will alway be there for him, and he wouldn't get lonely if he ever does. - Emily

4)   An animal
Hand held talking GPS
An i-tell plug in for his i-pod (voices the titles, artists etc.) - Blake

Question 4
My heart hurts after eating the D's (McDonald's), am i going to die in my sleep?...  Just had 2 big macs and a a liter of cola and 2 McDoubles and 2 apple pies, with a McFlurry. I am just a little concerned.

Answers
1)   Hmm yep you a goner - LiS

2)   are you joking? you cant be serious.

that is way too much. not to mention mcd's is full of sh!t. stop eating it yuck - >.<

3)   My suggestion is to get some exercise and eat healthy the rest of the day, and by that, I mean only eat fruits, vegetables, and healthy chicken/fish. You should stay away from fast food, candy, soda, and junk food for a day or two(to be sure not to hurt your body). No, I highly doubt you will die in your sleep, but a diet like that everyday can kill you. - Emily

4)   After you eat (especially foods like THAT) you shouldn't go to sleep promptly. Your stomach is stuffed right now so if you lay down you'll have difficulty breathing, which can result in death while sleeping should your body's system fail; just relax until the stuffy feeling in your gut is gone (may take an hour or a bit longer). If you were going to sleep you should always eat light. Best if they had something healthy in it more than meats, sweets and fried stuff.

BTW, I'm a former McD fan, but it betrayed me when it planned to go "healthy" so now whatever they cook is bland. Never eat there ever I say young lad lolololol. - cyberfiendkil
