Avatar f tn I gave oral to a guy a few weeks ago. He's a truck driver, and I know truck drivers are known for using sex workers and having STDs. I asked him if he was clean and he said yes; however, ever since then, I've had a headache and a very sore throat almost every day. It's kind of difficult to swallow, and I have no other symptoms indicative of allergies or a cold. Will a throat infection of gonorrhea show up in a urine sample? Or do I need to get my throat swabbed?
Avatar f tn My drivers side of my jeep got hit by a truck and I flipped three times. I do not remember the wreck at all. Unfortunately my son had to come by emergency c section 8 weeks early. So along with broken ribs a broken scapula fractured bones in my back and staples in my head I also had a c section. He is doing great fortunately. He weighed 4.2 lbs. And he's doing better everyday. I'm very lucky to be alive and so is he.
535822 tn?1443976780 I am confused, are there going to be mexican truck drivers coming to the us and driving our roads or are we using mexican trucks ? Sorry, I just didnt get it. Question though, I thought the mexican government was corrupt? If it is, why would we make an agreement with them? How do they know they wont be bringing trucks in full of drug people?
1096641 tn?1271707225 I used Chantix and didn't have any complications. I have never heard of headaches related to Chantix and I just googled "chantix and headaches" which brought up several articles but there was nothing that links the two (mentions of Chantix and headache on the same page). Just wondering Terry where you heard/read it? My husband suffered from cluster headaches and they were nothing like the ones you describe. His were so intense and lasted sometimes for hours.
Avatar f tn The reality is that these drugs - Chantix and antidepressants (which includes Zyban, which is the drug Buproprion also known as Wellbutrin) interact with our brain chemistry and Chantix has not been around long enough to have comprehensive and conclusive long term reasearch evidence (researches talk that basically means we don't know what we may find way down the road and all new Rx's have this risk).
Avatar f tn Officers later spotted the pickup driving on a busy road, with the stroller still in the back. Several other drivers also called 911. Police caught up with the truck and arrested Davis, and cited the driver for careless driving. The baby was unharmed, but the prosecutor said he could have easily been injured or killed. "A child, if seated in a car and not strapped in a car seat, that's a crime," said Assistant State Attorney Reginald Moore.
195469 tn?1388322888 She told not right now she felt like she was just run over by a mac truck. So I went to our neighbor and I told her my mom was just run over by a mac truck and I want a peanut butter sandwich. Of course she called my mom to find out what happened. We all had a good laugh.

I really need to stop because I think 27 years is long enough to smoke for anyone. Does anyone know if it will have any kind of reaction? My doc told me to go ahead it wouldnt hurt me.
Avatar m tn I have a question for those of you who used the Chantix to kick the cigarettes. I have smoked on and off for years, and I have quit several times for long periods of time, but this time I am in need of some sort of assistance doing it (the thought of no cigarettes is worse for me than the thought of no norco ever was). I don't want to spend any more money on cigarettes, I hate the smell of cigarette smoke, I always have, pretty weird for a smoker, huh?

1530342 tn?1405016490 5 percent of drivers in crashes involving kids between 2003 and 2007, but they were associated with only 6.6 percent of injuries, Henretig found. In addition, grandparents were just as safe as parents when it came to markers of crash type and severity, such as posted speed limits, the direction of impact and whether wrecks resulted in rollovers or tows.
Avatar m tn I cannot think of any correlation between driving the truck and low BP. In most cases BP is highly elevated for truck drivers. So this is unusual. The spell normally lasts for approximately 20 minutes.
458937 tn?1271194781 I smoked for 38 years, through my pregnancies and through their childhoods, so my addiction was hardcore.......and I quit using Chantix. We have someone on the forum who used hypnosis and quit....some quit with the gum, some with the patch and some quit cold turkey (suppose to be the best way), whatever way we chose, we all had one thing in common and that was we wanted to quit.....we were tired of smoking and tired of feeling the effects of smoking. In NYC there is an onslaught of commercials.
Avatar f tn Certainly it's better if you cut down on the cigarettes. Ask your OB or RE to prescribe Chantix for you. I hear it's ok to take during pregnancy and it really helps with trying to quit smoking. Know you're not a lone if you can't quit, many women aren't able to completely quick during pregnancy and the baby turns out okay. I'm not endorsing it of course, just letting you know that you're not the only that's pregnant and could just cut back.
Avatar n tn Although Chantix does not contain any nicotine, it acts on nicotine receptors in the brain. This is how the drug works to help people stop smoking. By binding to nicotine receptors, it blocks the effects of nicotine at those sites, helping to prevent the pleasurable effects of smoking. However, Chantix doesn't just bind to nicotine receptors; it also acts a little bit like nicotine, which may help to prevent symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.
407029 tn?1253992623 I was smoke free within 3 weeks of starting the Chantix and on March 4, 2008 I will be smoke free for an entire year! They recommend that you use the Chantix for 3 to 6 months. I did so well with it that I was off it in less than 3 months. When you start forgetting to take it you know it's time to come off it. If I could, I we be a walking advertisement for Chantix. I had tried the patch, the gum, zyban and hypnosis in the past and got absolutely no where.
