Question 1

Answers
1)   either go to Russia or GET INSURANCE DUMBASS!!!!!! - bobaloo

2)   Most cities have charity hospitals, call your local state agencies and ask. - Lynn

3)   Some people are so stupid on here!!!!!

Sorry that you don't have insurance especially with the discomfort of an ulcer. Basically I would stick to the diet and no eatiing 3 hours before bed. Maybe something like Prilosec or Prevasaid will help as they are OTC and will help with healing the stomach. Nexium is best but only available by prescription. - Krys

Question 3
Neck lump, constant fatigue, chest pain?...  All right. So, over two years ago I saw my doctor about a small lump on my neck. He found another one and decided to get me tested for mono. (I had no symptoms at this time.) The test results came back negative, and he told me they were probably just cysts and would go away after awhile. It's been over two years now, and I've realized that the lumps have gotten slightly larger. They are painless and firm. For the passed six months or so, I've also been constantly tired and experiencing shortness of breath, even when I'm inactive. I feel very weak, and I get sudden migraines and chest pains. I was looking up these symptoms and non hodgkin's lymphoma came up. I have no other symptoms, no night sweats, fevers or weight loss. I do get chills occasionally, but nothing serious. I'm sure I'm being rather silly, worrying about something like this at my age, I'm only 16. But, I'd like to know if there is a possibility it could be NHL. I'll probably make an appointment with my doctor as well.

3)   don't panic yourself with NHL. it is a possibility, but there are many other causes of your symptoms. mono is just one virus, there are lots of other viruses that can cause this. i would definitely suggest you tell your doctor how you're feeling, ask them about the risk of NHL and other possible diagnoses. - miss H

Question 4
Noticed blood on swab at smear today?...  My son is one year old and today I had my first smear test since giving birth. I noticed that the swab was very red, although I have had no bleeding to speak of since. I should have asked the Nurse but didn't at the time, stupid! Has anyone else experienced this as I am getting a bit worried. Thanks in advance

Answers
1)   Perhaps it's an early period/leftover from a previous one? If you're really concerned ask your nurse, but if there was a problem with your swab being noticeably unusual then she probably would have said something right away. When she gets back to you with the results I'm sure you'll find out, so don't worry :) - Grey Haven

2)   Nothing to worry about normal for some swobs to be like this especially first one after having your son. - momof3

3)   Yes I have had it. The area around the cervix is still tender so can bleed when they have a good scrape around.
I have had the same on and off during my 40s/50s.
Nothing to worry about ( although we do )
Be prepared, if there was too much blood on the sample they may ask you to have it done again as they cannot get a good reading. - Kernow Lady

Question 5
do all beds have dust mites?...  

Answers
1)   yeah.. dist mites are in everywhere.. its part of our life.. dust mites comes from dead skin cells .. etc.. - Yuki

2)   Yes.

Putting on an allergy cover on the mattress and pillows will at least prevent more dust mites from getting into (or out of) those things, but even a brand new mattress or pillow from the factory already has some mites in it.

They're everywhere - even on you, at this moment, munching happily on microscopic flakes of your dead skin.

The allergy pillow cases and mattress sheets can be found at Bed Bath & Beyond, or specialty stores dealing with allergy items. - PoohBearPenguin
