Question 1

Accepted Answer

Irregular period: Irregular periods following introduction of hormonal birth control is very common. It reflects your body's efforts to recalibrate hormones with new levels. It can take up to 3 months to resume normal cycles. Additional side effects include painful or tender breasts, nausea/vomiting, headache, painful menstruation, changes in weight. Talk to your Dr if this persists.

Question 2

my elderly father needs a tooth extracted. he is on xarelto and plavix and aspirin . he consulted with his cardiologist and his neurologist. they give totally different instructions on holding the meds. who should he listen to?

Accepted Answer

: Your father is taking multiple meds to prevent clotting. We cannot advise you on who to listen to, you'll need to have these two physicians explain their reasoning. An oral surgeon can also be included in the discussion.

Question 3

gloxi is a height enhancer, you think its effctive?

Accepted Answer

No, of course not: Most people reach their maximum height in their late teens. Without nutritional problems or chronic childhood illnesses, height is largely based on genetics and parental heights. Aside from eating right, exercising, sleeping well, and being happy, there's not much a person nor his doctor can do to increase height. In rare cases, growth hormone is approved for use in younger, extremely short kids.

Question 4

hi, i was planning to try gloxi height enhancer but i was also trying to find out if this is fda approved? do you think it has no side effects? thanks

Accepted Answer

Scam, scam, scam: Your height is genetically determined. Unless you have a deficiency of growth hormone or some inherited defect of calcium metabolism, there is NOTHING that will make you grow taller. The only way Gloxi will make you taller is if you stand on the bottles. If you try it, prepare to be disappointed (and poorer).

Question 5

do yo think it'll be okay for me to use a growth enhancer supplement called gloxi here in the philippines? i am already 21 years old and have below 5 ft height.

Accepted Answer

Growth Supplement: Save your money, you're not going to grow any further in height, at least. Your growing years have passed.

Question 6

are glow-in-the-dark pajama safe?

Accepted Answer

Likely safe to wear: Glow-in-the-dark clothing is probably safe.  The material that glows is not radioactive, and does not emit any light unless it first absorbs some light.  Over time, the material fades as it emits out the light energy that it absorbed.  Since glow-in-the-dark pajamas are a novelty item, they need not be used if one has concerns about long-term or environmental effects of glow-in-the-dark materials.

Question 7

can anybody help me find latex-free gloves?

Accepted Answer

Call around: If you cannot find them at a large chain pharmacy, try one of the smaller family owned pharmacies as their owners are often more willing to "go the distance."  amazon.Com has several brands of latex free, often called "nitrile" exam gloves, usually in boxes of 100 and in sizes from small to x-large for under 11 dollars a box.  About what i pay for the office from medical supply vendors.

Question 8

is it not good to wear latex gloves all night?

Accepted Answer

Breathe: Latex gloves will not allow your skin to breathe well, thus wearing them all night may cause significant issues if done for a prolonged period of time.

Question 9

what's the best protection when working with fibreglass besides gloves?

Accepted Answer

PPE: Safety glasses or goggles, mask to cover the mouth and nose as well as gloves are recommended as personal protective equipment (ppe) when working with fiberglass. However if there is regular fiberglass exposure than  a respirator is recommended.

Question 10
