I don't know what WASl test is but if it is anything like the TAKS test in Texas - then more powe
I hate standardized testing. I hate the way it is pushed and it is the only thing teachers 'preach' on the whole school year. Math and Reading is the big ones here until 5th grade and then science gets added in. Where is history? Where is grammar (no this is not included in the reading test)? Forget these stupid state standardized testing and get back to what is important.... an education!
Lets test the one giving the drug test, and (see message)
Lets make people who need to buy groceries take drug tests. Want to go to McDonalds? Hey need to take a drug test first. Need to renew your car registration - take a drug test. Want to go to a movie, better take a drug test. When will the insanity stop.

The only medication I am on...
is Chantix, started 1 month ago, and these symptoms preceded that but the dizziness and balance issues may have gotten worse with the Chantix.
I just keep going to the doctor and they keep telling me anxiety. These symptoms basically fell into my lap 3 months or so ago.
Not familiar with medication, but is there some way SM
you can cut it in half or quarters and start out taking a tiny amount, then gradually start taking the entire pill? If you are able to do that, your body will get used to it and you will soon be able to consume entire amount.
Or ask doctor is there is something else to try. Good luck to you.
medication from other countries
Question: does anyone get medication from overseas WITHOUT a prescription? I only take one medication. In a few months, I will run out of Requip, a prescription I take for restless leg. Bottom line - I need 3-5 months more of it WITHOUT going to the doc to get a written prescription. If I go to the doc, my health insurance company(self-employed) won't change me from their high rates next year to lower rates. I will get lower rates by NOT claiming restless leg for 12 months in a row.
***What's the best company to get an overseas medication from WITHOUT a prescription?**** No sermons please, after I get the new lower payment rate, I can go back to the doctor and get written prescriptions again.
medication from other countries
You are right, and that is why I need to find out what is the best reputable pharmacy overseas to get just this one medication, generic Requip, from for ONLY a 3-month time period. After I can my health insurance rate, I will get the medication with a prescription here in the US. So, what's a reputable overseas pharmacy that any of you have dealt with?
natural OTC medication?
Could you tell me what natural OTC medication she is taking? This sounds so much like my 16-year-old daughter. TIA.
Accidnetally took hubs medication
this morning. I take a blood pressure pill and I just took a 40 mg tablet of atenolol he had- thinking it was my armour thyroid. Should I just watch my blood pressure to make it does not dip too low? I think I will be okay but anyone else done this?
You sound a bit paranoid. Medication

medication from overseas pharmacy
(I have a self-employed health plan). What the health insurance company tells me is: At the time of my application for a lower rate (Jan 2010), they will look at all of my doc visits & pharmacy meds for the past 12 months. I have higher priced health insurance only because I have restless leg syndrome and take only ONE medication, generic Requip. I stockpiled my medication and it will not show that I have gotten a prescription refilled or been to the doctor about restless legs for 12 months, so they will place me in the cheapest health insurance rate.
After my cheaper rate goes into effect, I can go back to the doctor - I will be locked into the new cheaper plan for a few years until the health insurance company closes that plan out and I have to reapply to a new health insurance plan.
That will all work, except that I will run out of the stockpiled prescription three months early (I have nine months stockpiled); hence my need to go overseas for just one 90-day prescription to carry me over so it won't be reported to the health insurance company.
So to answer your question, it will be OK with the health insurance company after they have "locked" me into my newer, cheaper health insurance rate. Then I can go back to the doc and the pharmacy, and the health insurance company doesn't care.
Rules about bringing medication to
school are there for a reason. She knew she was not supposed to do it as all of that is explained EVERY school year. In our schools, medications (even aspirin) is kept in the office with a note from a doctor (whether rx or not) and they dispense it.
What do you think of that lash growing medication?
I've seen the commercial but cannot remember the name of the med, but it's for growing lashes. It may cause (possibly) reversible eyelid darkening and permanent discoloration of the iris. Would people really want those potential risks and/or side effects? I mean, you're messing with your sight here. I've always had long lashes and find them a pain at times - they curl the wrong way and poke your eye and you have to pluck them (ouch), they catch on your glasses, etc. I can't help but feel that we'll find out 10 years down the road that med cause some kind of cancer.
My husky Cara had seizures, she was never on medication though - sm
She only had them about every 18 months or so, granted I don't know if she had others when I was at work during the day, at night she slept in our bed with us. I believe the seizures contributed to the shortening her life though. She died days after her 8th birthday (cancer) in 2003. She never bit her tongue either, and the seizure was a few minutes and then after 15 or so minutes she started to get back to normal, but she would usually sleep for a long time after having a seizure. Since your dog's seizures seem to be getting worse I would opt for the medication. If you vet gives you a hard time then you might want to think about going to a different vet. Good luck.
Risperdal is the only medication approved for kids...sm
our 7-year-old has been on this medication for 1-1/2 years and it has been our miracle drug with her. The mood swings are tons better and if she skips a dose we can definitely tell the difference. Some patients do experience weight gain with this or the other bipolar medications. You can get information about bipolar kids from the website bpkids.org. Good luck to you!
Has anyone ever been prescribed a medication that their insurance refused to pay for it?

Question about taking vitamins with allergy medication
This may sound like a stupid question, but I've never taken allergy medication and now I've got bad allergies. Just took a vitamin C about 10 minutes ago. Is it safe to take an allergy pill (Clariton I think it is) so soon after taking a vitamin, or does it even matter. Again, sorry if that sounds stupid, just not used to taking either and my head/eyes feel like they are going to explode and I'm sneezing and coughing and runny nose, and just feel icky all over but have got to work.
Ask before you test..
Just ask before you test if they are willing to pay you X amount if you test well. If they say no, don't bother testing. Good luck!

They don't usually test to put them in certain classes. sm
Sometimes in high school it is a matter of making a schedule work and classes work around students to make a full class, etc. So that may or may not be why she was put in this class. I believe too much is expected out of kids these days and I say let her out of the class or at the least talk to the counselor about her issues. I believe in Physics class it helps a lot to have the other classes first. Otherwise, she would be really lost and it sounds like she might be.

smell test
I can tell when the teacher has hugged my kid because she smells like the perfume the teacher wears.
A school day is long. Better the teacher is kind to your child than mean (and there are both kinds of teachers.)
pregancy test then I was in
My MIL thought I was ridiculous wearing maternitiy clothes at 7 weeks, but I was not going to squeeze into my clothes out of vanity. I bloated, barfed and gained 50 pounds, and afterwards lost all the weight and fit into my old clothes just fine. Enjoy being pregnant. Take a nap and eat ice cream!
I read it is an excellent test, but
I also heard it really smarts.
I was not aware this was a test question. SM
I answered honestly. I am sorry it was not to your liking. If you want me to agree with you, okay, your ex is nuts and call the police on him. Whatever.
Just remember one thing, troubled people tend to gravatate toward each other in life. Think about it.
Did they do an MRI of her adrenals yet? Test her for Lyme? Our kid

I think they are pretty worthless and not really an IQ test because sm
if you have ever had a Wechsler, you know that those kinds of questions don't play into it. They are mind teasers and trick questions, not something that a Wechsler uses. A Wechsler is several hours long and goes through your math, language, spacial relations and problem solving skills, and it is timed. Part of IQ is how fast you can solve complex problems.
I have taken a Wechsler and while I won't quote you a number, I will say the person who gave it as part of a psychological evaluation, told me he would diagnose me as way too smart for my own good. He stated that I probably didn't suffer fools gladly because I view most of the world as fools. I only fall at the 99.6 percentile on the Bell curve. No, I don't suffer fools gladly, but I try to be nice while others catch up.
Can we drug-test the Senators too?
I don't think connecting unemployment benefits to drug-testing is a good idea. In fact, I don't think drug testing should be random at all. I think it should be reserved for cases that are on a need-to-know basis. And no, I have never used drugs, never tried them. It's a matter of civil liberties and constitutional rights against invasions of our privacy. Next thing you know, they'll be testing us for lipid levels after we're seen frequenting a house of trans-fats.
And while we're on the topic, decriminalizing drugs would go a long way toward reducing drug-related crimes. Nothing is perfect in this discussion though because drugs really are evil. It just becomes a matter of damage control.
They want to make sure that the baby they test for paternity is
actually Anna Nicole's baby and not another baby that is brought and tested for paternity. If someone were to "switch" babies for paternity tetsing only, then Larry Birkhead would be shown as "not the father," so they want to make sure that the baby tested is actualyl Anna Nicole's and that is why they need her DNA.
Criteron-Referenced Comptency Test....sm
and while theoretically kids that do not pass it in the 3rd, 5th and 8th grades will not be passed, in reality very few are truly held back. That's because the schools get "waivers" for those that fail for various reasons, send them to summer school or any reason they can find to pass them anyway.
Schools and the CRCT test inquiry...sm
Out of curiosity here.... in the area you live in, do your schools basically become just a babysitting facility after the CRCTs are administered until the last day of school? I've been through CRCT testing with my children now for 5 years and the minute they finish those tests, from that day on until the last day of school they're watching movies, spending more play time, etc. at school & very little actual school work. It's like the schools are busy teaching the CRCT criteria and once the testing is completed they don't do diddly squat for the last month of school.
What about in your area?
Update on kids' hepatitis test
Had a great vacation. Never crossed my mind the whole week. I took my kids in to the doctor on Monday afternoon and got the test and of course, still do not have the results. It is driving me crazy. I keep doing all these reports on patients with hep B and hep C and my heart just sinks and I feel sick at my stomach! I called the office yesterday and today and still no results back from the lab. On Monday, the doctor did say my daughter would probably be sick by now (will be 8 on Monday), but he is a pediatrician and I know that is not exactly right. My husband has pretty major anxiety issues and that made him feel so much better to hear the doctor say that, so I have just kept my mouth shut about how worried I am and talked to my best friend about it. I did one report and the man was 40 yo and had a remote hx of IV drug use 11 years ago and the only way they found it was through routine lab tests, no symptoms, no signs, not even any past medical history, so I know it still could be that there are just no signs yet. I am trying to stay positive though! I know God gave us these babies for a reason. Just hope the nurse calls me tomorrow with good news!
...another test, but again, I forget what the smell is supposed

That is a good idea--take it for a test drive. ;-) nm

Does it matter what time of day you take a pregnancy test??/
i've read that morning time is the best, but does it really matter? i'm 37, had a tubal after my second pregnancy six years ago. i'm a week and a half late. i've never been this late before. i figured i'd start with taking a home pregnancy test first. i'm anxious to take it and don't want to wait until tomorrow, but heard morning time was the best time.
thanks
Have you see a cardiologist? A tilt table test should
My daughter has this and has had a pacemaker since age 15.
Have the spells been occurring more frequently? Please consider seeing a cardiologist as a first step, at least. Good luck to you.
But doesn't the FDA extensively test drugs before marketing? nm

The courts will now get their DNA test to confirm paternity and whoever the father
really is will be awarded custody. However, given the nature of this case, I am sure the Division of Family Services will be involved no matter what.
See, that's was exactly my initial response to the negative drug test. SM
I felt like relief that my son, even when faced with the temptation, resisted the urge to smoke pot with his friends. I actually congratulated my son and told him how proud I was that he hadn't been taking any drugs or smoking pot. But then I wondered if he should be punished for having a bong in his pack. He obviously didn't use it, but why did he have it?
Now I think I may lift the grounding, but set some rules about him avoiding being around the 23-year-old guy and basically having him check in with me routinely when he is out and as long as he follows the rules, then I'll trust him.
Geez, I don't think I'm going to survive the teenage years and they've only just begun! I can only hope that when my 7yo daughter reaches her teens, she will go a little easier on me!
Thanks everyone for listening and offering your advice.
My kids only act out like that if they are sick - get him a strep test! Has he said his stomach hurt
My kids act terrible when they are sick - many times they have gotten in trouble and then later I find out they are sick. Both of them have had strep several times with NO SORE THROAT, NO FEVER, just stomach pain.
12-year old girl forced to take pregnancy test due to school rumor
NEVADA CITY, Calif. -- A 12-year-old girl was forced to take a pregnancy test at school in Nevada City, a lawsuit filed in Nevada County Superior Court alleges.
The Pacific Justice Institute, which is representing the girl, said in a news release that Steve Davis, a counselor at Seven Hills Middle School, pulled the girl out of class.
KCRA 3 has decided not to name the girl out of protection for her privacy.
Davis heard rumors that she was pregnant and wanted to know if it was true, the release said.
Though she denied it and told Davis a classmate had spread rumors about her in the past, the counselor got a pregnancy test from the school nurse and told the 12-year-old to give a urine sample, the Pacific Justice Institute said.
The pregnancy test was negative.
According to the news release, the girl was embarrassed and humiliated, and her parents were angry when they found out.
They worked with the Pacific Justice Institute to get an apology from the Nevada City School District, but didn't receive one.
The lawsuit, filed Oct. 29, 2008, seeks damages for violation of the girl's right to privacy and emotional distress.
"There is no merit in the claim," Superintendent Roger Steel said. He directed further questions to the district's attorney.
Reached at home Monday night, Davis said he had no comment on the lawsuit.
