    Cancer

    in Medical

    Posted

    The most common cancer among men is still lung cancer, and this is due to cigarette smoking.

     

    Even among women, lung cancer cases are increasing as more women are becoming smokers.

     

    Quit smoking: live longer, live better.

    Actually price is ok, but their pasta is too commercialized. Pizza is not bad.

     

    Good thing there is their gelato.

     

    Bellisimo on the other hand has good pasta, pizza and sausages.

     

    Great service, good ambience, with background piano music.

     

    Not that expensive, 300+ - Pizza, Less than 300 for sausages and almost 300 for their pasta.

     

     

    I like the Amici pizza. Pretty good.

    I agree about the pasta: okay, but not authentic enough.

    Gelato? :thumbsupsmiley:

     

    I would also recommend Carpaccio like the others, though I haven't been there for quite a while.

     

    Bellissimo is too far to visit, but I heard the pizza is really good.

    This sounds like a good idea. I have tried monovision with contact lenses and it worked for me but I could not tolerate contacts for too long. I will also need a consult in conjuction with some planned corrective surgery on my eyelids. I have noticed that my vision improves if I pull them up somewhat and make them less 'droopy'.

     

    Please PM me your clinic address, phone number, and clinic hours. I am in Quezon City and would appreciate someplace near but I really don't mind going anywhere to consult an eye doctor who knows and understands what kind of eye candy I like best.

     

    Hi, boomouse. Sorry for the overly late reply re your LASIK inquiry. I've been away from MTC for ages! I tried to PM you, but got an error message.

     

    If you're still interested in an eye consultation, I just added St. Luke's QC to my clinic schedule. I'm there Fridays 9-12 by appointment. Otherwise, I have clinics in Manila (in front of PGH) and Alabang (Asian Hospital). Send me a PM with your number or email and I'll send you my clinic info.

     

    Again my apologies.

     

    PS saw you're a mac guy. Am getting a macbook for myself (switching from PC) next week.

    Migraine Tips

    Bro who did you see for your migraine? Since monday I've been having migraine really bad. Hindi pa naman ako sakitin so ngayon na may sumasakit sakin bad trip talaga. I really need to fight this. I can't identify pa naman what's triggering it. I'm going to see an eye doctor later and I hope yun lang yun. Thanks to everyone this thred is helping a lot.

     

    If this is your first headache, it may or may not be migraine, which is a special headache type.

     

    If it is not migraine, it is most likely tension-type or stress headache, which may explain why you can't identify a specific "trigger", although stress may also trigger migraine headaches. Treatment is obviously stress management and pain meds for symptomatic relief.

     

    I doubt it is an eye problem unless you have acute inflammation of the eye (causing eye pain/headache), which usually is also accompanied by eye redness and/or blurred vision.

     

    Sorry if this comes after the fact (siguro naman your headache has resolved by this time), but haven't logged into MTC in a while.

    Do you think lasik is advisable for me with these measurements:

     

    Sph: -1.25/R -1.25/L

    Cyl: -1/R -1/L

    Axis: 180/R 180/L

    Add: 2.25/R 2.25/L

    MPD: 0/R 0/L

     

    LASIK can easily remove your nearsightedness, provided you pass the initial screening. But the need for reading glasses remains unless you opt for and can tolerate "monovision" (one eye sees clearly for far, the other eye for near).

    The best thing to do when you're having migraine is to go into a secluded place preferably a room void of nuisance... where it is quiet with dim lights and where you can relax.

     

    Close your eyes for a few minutes and try to take a nap. It helps me quite a lot. Sometimes when I get those at school I would have my boyfriend get me a medicine a the clinic and go to an unused classroom or a quiet hallway he would then cuddle me to help me relax.

     

    *Anyway I haven't tried this yet but some people say that having an orgasm alleviates migraines. ^-^

     

    Goodluck

     

    Hahaha. And hope you don't have an orgasmic headache :P

     

    But sure you could try sibelium. It does work for a number of migraine patients.

    But I think the key is to (1) avoid known triggers (MSG, alcohol, cigarette smoke, too much/too little sleep, chocolates, etc.) and (2) take the pain meds at the start of the headache, not when it's already severe and intolerable.
