I have Raynaud's, with pretty severe symptoms, just recently recovering from a finger that took 10 months to heal it's gangrene, I am on on Norvasc 5mg twice daily and also Viagra, which the side effects are unpleasant.My rheumatologist believes I will have CREST syndrome in the future due to my high titer of 1: 1280. I was curious if anyone had any treatments or advice to share on this? Thank You.

My ana screen is positive, with a centromere pattern, the titer is 1:1280, which is very high. I don't see the Rheumatologist until June, so I am just trying to gather any information until then. Anything is greatly appreciated, I have researched and I don't find alot of titer levels this high so I am concerned. Thanks in advance.

My tank is 6months old, I don't have a secondary tank, is there a way to change out the gravel to sand without completely ruining my tank?? Thanks for all the help

I have a 55g saltwater tank and currently have crushed coral gravel in it, I have noticed that a couple of my new fish(firefish) keep trying to wiggle into the gravel, with no luck of course, my husband keeps saying I told you we should have used sand, but I was just curious if most people use sand or gravel in their Saltwater tanks?

I just bought 5 turbo snails(nice big snails) and ever since I put them in my saltwater tank my shrimp both peppermint and skunk striped ones have been messing with them, at first I thought they were cleaning them but it started to look like they were poking at their bodies. Now the largest has gone inside my ship wreck piece and 3 of the shrimp are in there also and I can't tell what is going on?? Please help.

My ammonia and nitrites are at 0, ph is at 7.8, nitrates are only at 2/2.5, sw gravity is at 1.023, but my tank is cloudy. Last week I added 2 clownfish and a couple shrimp and a couple of emerald crabs, is the just an adjustment??? Please help, thanks.

My ammonia is at 0, nitrites at 5, nitrates at 5 and ph is at 7.8, salt is at 1.022. My water is just slightly cloudy and I do have a light brown algae that has bloomed recently and I was told this is normal and it will go away but it has been 2/3 weeks and it hasn't gone away. I have two damsels in the tank. I would like some tips on this or anything you have to offer in advice, I would like to add shrimp and crabs . I just have concern with this algae, will the shrimp help? Thanks in advance.

It is a newer tank, 4/5 weeks old, is it normal to be growing this brown algae?

Would you suggest adding a clean up crew, maybe shrimp or something?

We do have two damsels in the tank now.

Just debating with my husband, we would like to get a clownfish and we aren't sure if we have to have anemones for it to survive, I have researched and I thought you did not, but hubby says yes you do??? Help us settle this please?

The last two months I have been on 100 mg of clomid, prior to that 50 mg but it seems with the 100 mg I am experiencing dryness which makes things a little difficult, is that what preseed is used for and also where do you purchase it? I have heard that other lubricants interfere with sperm so I am not sure what to do. Any help is greatly appreciated.

In September of 2010 we would like to rent a house on or really close to the water in the Hamptons area, at a reasonable price of course, do you have any websites that handle those rentals or any suggestions on the best areas for a family of 4 adults and a toddler?

I have boneless pork chops and I have the oven preheating, I would like a simple recipe, I have the basic spices and such at home, nothing unusual, but I would like to bake these with a new taste, any great ideas?

My daughter is 16 months old and at her well check yesterday the dr. noticed a soft murmur, she said it could be because she has had a large growth spurt or that she was recently ill, she is going to recheck in two week, has anyone's child been found to have a heart murmur that went away shortly after it being noticed?

What I mean is do you have a bunch in your living room or family room or do you only get out a couple at a time? I have a large amount in the corner of my family room and it seems my 16 month old gets bored with them but if we are in say the Living room and I bring in only a couple a things she gets really into them, I wonder if having too many toys to choose from might be a bad thing. What are your thoughts?

I can not find this brand at any of the regular places, I purchased a vehicle and this battery was in it, well I left my dome light on all day and now it won't hold a charge but it has a warranty left on it if I could only find where it is sold, I'm in the Kansas City area.
