My wife has been sick for three weeks with what we thought was a cold. She had the flu shot but was coughing and her nose was running. She could not keep anything on her stomach, so she was drinking juices and chocolate milk. She did not seem to be getting much better and was sleeping a lot. She has been diabetic in the past and has 30% use of her kidneys left. Yesterday we checked her blood sugar and the meter would not read it, indicating it is over 600. We have been checking every 4-6 hours and it still says the same thing. She has switched to nothing but water and has no symptoms she can feel. I take LANTUS for my blood sugar, would it be okay to give her a dose or two to get her sugar down? She also has some of her Glucophage left from when she was on it. 500 mg twice a day. The doctor took her off of it a year ago because her diabetes was doing very good. All this has happened since she has been sick and we feel it is temporary. How do we get it back down to where we can get a reading? She wants to handle it on her own and not go to the emergency room.

My husband has had a stiff neck and extreme fatigue for a month. The past week he has had chills and what he describes as a 'sore stomach.' He has a poor appetite. He went to a doctor who said his blood work looked good and ordered a sleep study, which has not yet been evaluated. What additional tests should we request, and what could be causing these symptoms?

I recently had my fingertip cut off and the ER gave me Motrin 800mg and antibiotics, but the pain is still extremely bad. I don't have a family doctor to go to, no insurance, and the Motrin isn't helping. What can I do for the severe pain?

Is it common to use Sinemet to treat mood disorders and/or dementia, and can increasing its dosage to three times a day improve mental alertness without causing hallucinations or other side effects?
