looking for some advice

- one of the indications with Macey that we looked at to decide to

restart infusions was her activity level (or

lack of it) and her quality of life. Macey took about 16 months off IVIG and

her school performance slipped, she missed

several days because of having to go to a reduced school schedule due to fatigue

and she was putting on weight because

of the meds needed to keep her healthy (since off the IVIG) and because she was

too fatigued to play as much. She also

had so many joint pains off IVIG that they finally worked her up for JRA. Since

being back on it (18 months now) she

has had almost no joint problems and is playing league basketball and has

slimmed up.

hello mate...if you are still in try to get as many cert,s as you can that apply

to the outside world...atls...phtls...nebosh...phpls.UEH..state

regerstration..almost any health and safty course...not sure if registration is

still poss on grandfather rights..?.as for the iraq and afghan side any

soldiering experience is a bonus but failing this one of the best options if you

have the course time/money is the Ronin course covers both protection and

medical work..as for the ofshore side you will need your offshore ticket for

most locations ...this can be done through your enhanced learning credits.lots

of different companies out there....money depends on how long you have been in

1000 for three years if less than 8 years and upto 2000 if more you are required

to put in 20% of the course fee,s,... Ronin is on the learning credit list by

the way. have included a link to job resource list compiled by larry who is on

this site.....(great and very usefull list)...hope this

helps..any questions ask away....IAN..(RM POOLE)

Hi , if you look at the website for exmed.co.uk, they run offshore

courses as well as the Medicine in remote areas course which is accreditted

by the Royak college of Surgeons (Ed). this course is a good one to do if

youre thinking of working in the CP environment or remote areas worldwide.

You need to talk to a lawyer. Pozhealth is GREAT but I'm an accountant and this is what I always say about free professional advice: it may only be worth what you paid for it (NOTHING!). Unless someone pipes up and says he's a lawyer, anything anyone says on here may not be accurate. Also the answer is highly dependent on what state you live in. Family law and property law are determined at the state level and you will get a completely different answer in Louisiana than you will in California. If you can afford to purchase a house, you should pay for a lawyer to give you good advice and consider that part of the cost of acquiring the house. In California (so I'm told ... I'm not a lawyer!) any property acquired during marriage is "community property" and the wife has a 50% claim on

everything, even if she made no financial contribution to it. Tread carefully, friend. If you absolutely can't afford a lawyer, contact Lambda Legal. Looking For Some AdviceI am looking for advice about moving in with an HIV poz guy who is

still married. I want to live with him, that is not the issue. The

issue is he is still married. We are buying a house together. I am

wondering if his wife can have claim on the house if he dies before

they divorce.

I am also wondering what rights he has if his wife tries to keep his

kids from him because of his HIV poz status.

Any advice would be appreciated. ..anyone knows a web site where I can

get further advice, etc

"I am looking for advice about moving in with an HIV poz guy who is still married. I want to live with him, that is not the issue. The issue is he is still married. We are buying a house together. I am wondering if his wife can have claim on the house if he dies before they divorce."You are entering a legal mine field. Marriage equality is a huge issue because the law attributes a lot of power to the institution. Should you and your man move in together, the wife would almost certainly have legal claims to her husband's assets, no matter who lives in the house, etc. Should something happen to him, she might be able to force the sale of the house, and evict you. It is very difficult for a wife to be excluded from her husband's estate, no matter what.You need legal counsel before entering into such a deal. No, medically, why are you so concerned about your partner's future, in the first place? What's going on there? Is he in good health now? And if so, why do you think that might change?JB

Every STATE has different rules for divorce. You must be VERY careful to determine as to which LEGAL State rights you have.   So sorry to tell you, but you MUST keep your "heart" out of this and ask a lawyer to intervene.  The STATE LAW will determine your outcome.  You MUST get an attorney to advise you.   So sorry to tell you

this, but as they say ... "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition".  You must hire an attorney to determine the FACTS and not let your "emotions" get in the way,   Get an attorney who specializes in Civil Liberties and Civil Rights".  Please try to think of yourself instead of feeling "guilty".  Your "guilt" will only destroy you in the end.  I'm so sorry to tell you this ---- but I've been there and suffered the outcome... Good luck!It's time to go back to school! Get the latest trends and gadgets that make the grade on AOL Shopping.

Hey all,

Neither my 2 year old daughter or 4 1/2 month old daughter have had any

vaccines, and I intend to keep it that way. My husband thinks there is nothing

wrong with vaccinating because " everyone he knows does it, and is fine " .

However, he has told me he would like to know more about the topic, mainly

disease risk vs vaccine risk. He is a numbers guy, so he likes to see

statistics. The problem is, every time I show him info, he says that I am only

showing him why you SHOULDN'T vaccinate, to which I respond, " that's because I

don't believe there are any benefits to vaccinating " . Obviously, he does feel

somewhat uncomftorable with vaccinating because he does not push the issue, but

he doesn't really want to discuss it much either. I really want him on my side

with this, and would really like to convince him that vaccines are dangerous.

My 4 1/2 month old has an arachnoid cyst on her brain which they discovered

while I was pregnant. They actually thought she had dandy-walker syndrome and

put us through a lot of unnecessary worrying. Well, I called her neurologist

today to get his opinion on vaccinating because I figure he must see a lot of

autistic children. My husband also respects him, and said he would be interested

in what he has to say. I am praying that he tells me what I want to hear, but am

not betting on it. My husband also thinks dr.'s would never do anything to

endanger a child's health, and feels we should listen to them more often than

not. I do not feel that way, and mostly do not trust them. In fact, I do not

plan to take my baby to any more well baby check ups, because I feel they are

unnecessary, and am tired of getting the vaccine lecture. Last time I was there,

I felt like I was going to have a panic attack because of this conversation:

Dr.: " These are the shots Brooklyn will be getting today " (she names them off)

Me: I don't plan to vaccinate, espcially with being on medication that is

lowering her immune system " Dr.: Well, a little protection is better than

none....in fact, let me go see what my colleagues have to say... " she comes back

in the room, and says this: " Yup, they agree with me, so this is what she's

going to get today " , and, she goes on to tell me what shots and what to expect

(fever, redness, etc.). Well, in my head, i am panicing,because I feel like I

need to get out of this situation quick, and I always feel so intimidated by

dr.'s.(ugh!) I tell her I have to talk to my husband before I make a decision

like that. She says " well, can you call him, because I am really worried that if

she were to get a fever at this age, she would need all kinds of testing,

including kidneys and a spinal tap " . (basically, trying to scare me!)

I tell her no, that he is working and doesn't answer at work. I then tell her

that I will call and make an appt if I change my mind...of course never planning

to. She leaves the room without saying goodbye and goes onto her next appt. I

leave relieved, but also do not feel comftorable going to any more of these

" well baby " visits. They never did that back in the day, and I feel like it is

just one more way to control parents and take your money.

Well, that was a little longer than I anticipated writing...I guess what I

would like to know is where I can find some good statistics on disease risk vs

vaccine risk. Thanks in advance! (The last part was just me venting...
