yahoo health?

my doctor wants me to take Fosamax for treatment of osteoporosis but I am not sure this drug is safe enough..anyone have any thing to say good or bad about this drug?

WriterMan answers:

Look, if your doctor described to you a drug, you should take this drug, because your doctor is the most suitable one to advise you and know your conditions and know your medical history
You must trust him
your position in the medicin or pharmaceutical called POOR ADHERENCE
As you wish, you can see everything about FOSAMAX on

And according to FDA (it is a U.S.A organization called Food and Drug Administration)

Michael asks…

What happened to the Yahoo Health Quinolones adverse reaction message board?

When I click http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/quinolones/ it now says the board no longer exists. It was a heavily used board.

WriterMan answers:

It appears that it has been deleted either by the owner or by Yahoo Groups but no one seems to know for sure.
I thought it was a valuable resource and I wish it would be restored.

Sandra asks…

How can I get yahoo health to email me articles?

Self explanatory question intended for people who have already gotten health to email you.

WriterMan answers:

welll you can get their rss feed. You cant get their health articles in your email.

Chris asks…

To people who post questions in Yahoo health:- Would you ask strangers in the street for health advice?

What is the difference? I know that some people have difficulties getting medical care, but how is this a substitute for a doctor?

WriterMan answers:

I wondered this too, but I must admit I've done it once.
It's designed to share experiences, like if you have an illness that maybe doesn't need medical attention everyone here can suggest different ways to cure yourself etc.
Also, if you have something serious it's nice to talk about it with people who wont judge you face to face and have gone through similar things.
For example, I am pregnant & the ladies (and some gents) in the pregnancy forum are very helpful on a lot of topics.
I imagine it's the same in the health forum.
So although it's maybe a bit odd, yahoo answers is more a community and the advice generally does make sense and help.

E-Cigarettes Are Gaining Popularity With Smokers

The new electronic cigarette has not yet been listened to of by everyone that smokes cigarettes, but for those that have tried them, a good number of people seem to like them a lot. The're several factors why they're becoming so popular among cigarette users and it's not just because they might be much less expensive to smoke than traditional cigarettes made of paper and tobacco.

Electronic cigarettes are rechargeable and are set whenever you are ready to smoke. You can smoke just a small amount or longer if you like. There is no lighting with fire to worry with each time you smoke. One of the greatest draws, if you will, to the electric cigarette is that the smoke that is exhaled is actually a just water vapor and it is thought by some researchers that it poses no or a very limited health risk to others. There is no sticky tar residue to abide by surfaces in your property or vehicle because they have or produce no tar at all.

The thing about the expense of traditional tobacco cigarettes is that a smoker will occasionally smoke a complete cigarette when they really might not even want to, just so they do not waste the items. The electric cigarette has absolutely no waste and no ash to dispose of either. You no longer have to go outside to smoke unless you want to and you no longer require unsightly ash trays scattered over your property or in your vehicle. There is no stinky cigarette smell from an electric cigarette to offend others that do not smoke.

The health related issues concerning the electric cigarette are as yet still a little complex. They do deliver doses of nicotine to your system, just as many give-up smoking aids do that are already on the marketplace. Electric cigarette manufacturers are not claiming that their product will help you stop smoking, only that the're a restricted number of ingredients that walk into the filters that contain the nicotine solution. A far fewer number than the thousands that are in traditional tobacco cigarettes.

The verdict is still out in as much as the food and drug administration thinks about, but many individuals that are qualified to make the determination are already convinced that electric cigarettes seem to be an improved smoking alternative than the traditional cigarettes. If those that smoke will carry on do so in spite of what and on condition that regular tobacco cigarettes are still legal to buy and use, it is thought by most electric cigarette smokers that they should be permitted to choose which nicotine version of a cigarette they use.
