like Novalog and Humalog...BTW~ I use the pens for Novalog and my Dr wants to change me to the same formula of Humalog (70/30 pens)
Answer:
There is a difference. Their chemical structure is slightly different.Novolog works a little more rapidly and for a little longer than Humalog. In my experience it is also more stable - less chance of getting a "bad" vial or cartridge.
There isn't much difference between brands of insulin. It's just...insulin
It's different drug companies trying to make basically the same product. Of course, they aren't exactly the same. For some Novalog may work better than Humalog and vice versa. Are you having problems with your Novalog? If you aren't I would be insistent with your doctor not to change. he probably likes Lilly's products better; that's why he wants you to change, but if you are doing well, why change things?

Do you feel time pass while in a coma?
I just read an article about a man who woke up from a coma after 19 years and at the bottom of the article it says: "He said he vaguely recalled the family gatherings he was taken to while in a coma and his wife and children trying to communicate with him."I understand there are varied types of unresponsive states, but in general, when you are comatose does it feel like it has been 19 years, etc...?
Answer:
My brother was in a coma for about 2 years following a car accident... He said he has no memory of any of it. Its kind strange, the accident happened in 1989, when he was a freshman in high school, and since he woke from the coma he has been forever stuck in the 80's. Really, he even has the same hair cut and listens to the same music... Point is, he says he does not remember anything while in the coma.
I just read that too! and I was wondering the same exact thing. sorry I couldn't help you though.= /
Maybe it depends on how bad your coma is
INCREDIBLE STORY; DEPENDS ON THE COMATOSE YOU ARE INTO, SOME PEOPLE SAID THEY RECALL SOME PARTS OF IT AND AT THE TIME THEY TRY TO COMMUNICATE BUT NO PART OF THE BODY RESPOND TO HIS ATTEMPT.
i was in a coma for 7 days as a child when i woke up all i wanted to know was what time cartoon's came on. i do not remember anything.

Do you feel that the needs of this one person outweigh the needs of the group (see additional details)?
According to this article, http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070530/ap_o... , the groom has been flagged for tuberculosis, yet he took several flights in order to return home for treatment.Was this right for him to do this, especially when you consider the other people who were exposed to TB in the process?
Answer:
Yes, he has a form of TB that isn't responding to the treatment. TB isn't a cold. he failed to listen to doctors orders. He was stupid for thinking that jeopordizing others life was more important than his own. He's made it clear he isn't going to follow the rules, so why should they bend for him.
I read this, but yet can't believe it. If it had been so serious why not keep him quarantined when he was diagnosed?
On a second note, This guy is a selfish !@#$ %26lt;Insert Derogatory word here%26gt; to jeopardize all these other lives (including his wife and everyone else at his Wedding.)
He does state that he was unaware that it was as serious as it was, yet in the article it states he was even told to turn himself over to authorities overseas.

Do you feel pain when you die of coronary thrombosis?
my mother died of this unexpectedly and no one was around to witness it. i want to know if she felt pain and/or knew what was going on when she died?
Answer:
A heart attack (coronary thrombosis or clot) they say feels like an elephant standing on your chest. With heart failure (ie enlarged heart or CHF) you get arrhymia and black out and don't wake up.
Many time person do not feel any pain just heaviness in the chest !This heavy ness may be so much they could not make it to words and can not say anything !More over diabetic person when gets heart attack may not get pain as their nerves have become dull ! That is why diabetic people gets gangrene in legs as they don't feel pain and there will be loss of perception ! Your mother was lucky that she must not have felt pain and she passed away silently !!My brother in law also passed aways during his sleep ! No one was knowing it !Always YouRsmE

Do you die more quickly when you have autism?
like, do you pass away more quickly (than average people) I understand that you age differently in the mind, but, is it like being Mentally Handicapped/ Mentally Challenged? ThaNKS
Answer:
Except for accidents, no.But people with low-function autism can have very little awareness of danger. My nephew would scream in terror at getting his nails clipped or hair cut, but would chew on electrical cords.He died 2 years ago this month. At the age of 4, he wandered off %26 found the creek before anyone found him. It is very common for kids with low-funtioning autism to have an extreme attraction to water.
No you don't. Being autistic is not being mentally challenged. They think and act differently as there are different types of autism. There is a whole spectrum of autism.I happen to think that the autistic mind can be more intelligent then a "normal" mind. One would just have to find the key to unlocking the autistic mind.
Autism is generally not a neurodegenerative condition, so usually, the life expectancy is about as it is for anyone else, barring things like accidents from lack of danger awareness or neurological cause that goes untreated.
LIZARD :)

Do you cover the Toilet Seat?
In a public bathroom I always cover the seat, if there are no covers I use toilet paper, if there are covers, I use toilet paper to cover the edges that are missed by the seat cover. My question is do other people do this? I know you cant get STDs from a toilet seat but I still think its gross to stick my butt where someone else's butt has been.
Answer:
Lol. i know well i don't like touching it either, i rather squat and not touch the seat at all. At my house before using it, i clean it with Clorox wipes and then let it dry and i will sit. i like having good hygiene. ^_^
i feel the same but i dob't even like to risk that i just hover lol beats sittin down!
I switch toilets if I can. If it has urine or other bodily excretions, then I switch, wipe, and or cover.
i try to hold it i do not like public restrooms
yes i do also.
i do not want to be itchy and scrathy.
YUCK
I won't touch the seat, I squat and use my shoe to flush the toilet.
I know you can get STD's from the seat but (early 90's) I remember school telling us, we couldn't.
ps if you have a cut on your butt and sit in std blood bam,
Cover away. But, it's not really necessary unless you can see some foreign matter. Your skin is good protection against anything that might be there.
simply dun touch da toilet seat
at some point most people will have to use a public restroom to "sit".The one time i had to use one for a bm it was an emergency and i wiped the seat and covered it and tried not to sit completely, but it was hard.for most women though, we usually squat as close as possible to the seat without having to sit on it and hold on sometimes to the rail or paper dispenser.Unfortunately, alot of women still make a mess this way. I saw a program on 60 minutes a couple of years ago where they tested public bathrooms and found that they are nowhere near as contaminated as some people's kitchens at home. For most public restrooms, the toilets that don't have "stuff" on them, they are usually okay. And you are right, you cannot catch an std, nor can you catch A.I.D.S, etc I am careful no matter what though, because some people do have skin infections and diseases.I use my foot to flush if it doesn't automatically and i don't touch the seat with my bare hands.
I believe in covering the toilet seat because it is sanitary and because it is true that you can obtain ST D's from public bathrooms. So yes I believe in covering the toilet seat.
I always cover it.
i cover and hover, although i know that you can't get an std from the toilet seat..
When I have to use a public restroom I kind of hover over the toilet. I don't completely sit even with toilet cover.
i have never covered the seat in a public restroom...apparently i am not as paranoid as some people.besides there have been numerous studies that show that the toilet seat in public restrooms is often cleaner than the ice in fast food places....and besides...if you are educated and do you research you will find out that you can not catch HIV/aids from the seat...that virus does not last long outside the human body as do most other stds..i am not going to freak out about what is on the seat..if it is dirty than use another one..i have never covered and never will..i think it is kind of weird and if you are so freaked out about it then you have some problems..research has shown that being exposed to certain germs can be good for your immune system and actually help your body fight them off..look up the mayo clinic.com and you will find the truth and not so much paranoia.
Hell, I don't even sit down, I rather squat. :D
You have nothing to be ashamed of, I do that all the time too, its better to be safe aways than sorry.
