I'm thinking of getting a Kindle for reading and would like to know if it is safe for the retina and the eyes in general for lots of reading? Also, what about my laptop?
Avatar m tn and thyroids). I have tried both mac and pc, with same results. I started to feel ill using a Wacom tablet for drawing, I could feel the radiation over my guts, like if something strechted that part. I searched for the technology: it was magnetic resonance. I discard the tablet and my body felt good again. Now, I avoid Bluetooth because of the same symptoms. I know EMF disrupt badly my own magnetic field. I'm doing a natural treatment to fix my thyroid.
Avatar m tn I only have a personal opinion, and that is the danger from cell-phones is overblown, and must be weighed against the tremendous increase in safety provided by these phones in the event of a crime, an accident, or a requirement for medical assistance by an elderly individual.

Please talk to your doctor before using ANYTHING to treat your ED.

Avatar m tn be sure that your glasses prescription is current and correct for your driving needs. With your prescription, you are able to work at the computer without the glasses. Also, if the flashes/floaters increase suddenly, see an ophthalmologist for a dilated retinal exam.

10947 tn?1281404252 This is the reason that for PHR only, if you do need technical support you need to actually allow MedHelp to see the data and your PHR, and even then, we only have access for 24 hours. (and even in this case, only 2 senior level employees will be given access to provide help) Second, we have put in some changes to the password process, forcing all members who use PHR to enter in a challenge question, similar to what many financial websites uses.

Avatar m tn one doctor was kind enough to respond briefly in the free forum but I was looking for a bit a more substantive answer if possible. I have ocular rosacea along with eye allergies. They seem to wax and wane, in that it'll be a big issue for a point in time, and then it will just sort of...resolve, without my doing much of anything. Unfortunately it's come back.

Avatar n tn My male friend is SO scared when using a condom that he will not go into me very far for fear of getting it on the unprotected part of him. Obviously I do not have sex if I have leisons, which I have not had for a long time.

505094 tn?1240317431 Their goal was to save money by eliminating paperwork and also to make it possible for any doctor, anywhere, to access this information, thus to save lives. The problem is that no one asked me or anybody else in Maine if we wanted to be part of this system. They said that everyone in Maine has the right to opt out. Well, how can people opt out of something that they weren't told about in the first place?
Avatar f tn If a condom fails the wearer will undoubtedly know that it breaks, correct?
Avatar n tn Anyone have any experience with this / input? I was doc shopping pretty heavily for about 3 months, and I was using the insurance for the office visits, but paying for scripts in cash - prior to the 3 months, I was taking a "normal" (whatever that was) dose, and I didn't have multiple doc visits, but I did pay for some of my scripts with the plan (unless it was gonna be less than my copay). So yeah.....
