The Bottom Line: Chondroitin appears to be useless. Whether glucosamine is useful is conflicting, but the best-designed studies are negative. This usually means that negative evidence will eventually prevail. Decisions to use glucosamine must be based on information that is less complete than is desirable. In addition, product quality control may be a significant problem

Description to be entered

I woke up a couple of days ago, and in the shower I have noticed tingling in the finger tips of my left hand. And then the tingling and the numbness has been persisting for a few days now.

I still have numbness in my pinky and the ring finger.

I also have noticed during this onset some tingling in my right hand as well. But the right hand tingling didn't last too long.

It subsided during the rest of the day

Then it was around 6 in the evening. I have had my dinner and was getting back to my room to pack my stuff. It came on pretty strong. In both hands and probably on the left hand side of the whole body.

I went downstairs, got a cab and went to ER. The doctor chcked me out and ruled out any stroke. He suspects something in my elbow.

If it is in my elbow I am not sure why my left body and my right hand, even though momentarily.

18) runout

9-Feb-04

Typically people are covered for insurance for a year at a time. This period of coverage can be said to be the coverage window. Expenses or claims incurred during this period are payable even outside of the coverage window. Such a situation where the payments are made outside of the coverage window is called "run out".

This idea of "runout" has implications. The leading implication is that even though the coverage of certain individuals has terminated, the insurance company (sometimes called the "carrier") needs to plan for the amounts that needs to be set aside for the claims during the runout period.

As I said "runout" and "runout period" are concepts. Whether as specific well defined period is defined or not, I am not sure. For example if I say that the "runout' is 3 months, does the Insurance Company not obligated for any claims outside of this window? I don't believe so. But the 3 month window might be useful estimation purposes. If at all there is such an absolute time window after which no claims will be paid needs to be investigated.

The second implication is, as I have brought up, during the estimation phase for calculating renewal amounts for the insureds. In this case to evaluate how much a member had spent, typically a 1 year worth of claims are taken into account. In addition a 3 months are used to take into account any fulfilled obligations but not paid in the 12 month period.

23) Trend Factor

11-Feb-04

The ability to forecast trends in medical technology. Are they medical rates going up or down. Are the hospitals costing more or less.

This information is used in quoting new rates and also calculating renewal rates.

The forecasted trends may be weighed against actual claims to narrow the miscalculation of trends over time.

What is the correct daily aspirin dosage?

Absolute minimum seem to be 75mg a day. The general recommendation seem to be two of those tablets per day taking the daily amount to 160 mgs a day.

Another thought is to take the 320 mg version every other day.

Some extra strength tablets seem to come in 500mg versions. You may want to avoid those for daily dosages.

The following may be a good candidate for daily usage

Bayer Regimen Tablets, Adult Low Strength Aspirin Pain Reliever, 81 mg

The 80 mg version is also often called Baby Aspirin
