It’s honestly getting on my nerves—the constant updates—how does one actually stop that?

Hi everyone—how does one go back to Windows 7? I’m currently running Windows 10 and, honestly, I'm not particularly happy with it. I guess if there's a kind soul out there willing to remote into my laptop and handle this for me, I'd certainly appreciate it.

The driver is installed, but I think I need someone to walk me through this step-by-step—as if I have no clue what I'm doing! And then help me email it, too.

This scanner is pretty straightforward enough—the issue is I'm just not sure what the next step is once I've finished scanning a document. I know the whole process involves a computer, but I haven't quite figured out how that works. Maybe there's someone kind enough to point me in the right direction?

Gregory Sanchez said:🙂 These symptoms seem quite similar to mine—except I haven't had any issues with Candid in the pelvic area... yet. I wonder if anyone else has experienced this? My issues started back in December with my tongue—red spots and a stinging sensation. It seemed to subside, only to return much worse after an N. G. infection.

Symptoms: A stinging sensation in my tongue and throat—my doctor insisted it was just a virus since I had post-nasal drip, though he suggested it might have coincided with an allergy. I took Control 9 for a few days, then he switched me to a stronger antihistamine—Telfast 180 mg... I had a cold at the time, so I was taking Tylenol with honey and lemon daily... I wasn't taking the Telfast during that specific window.

Three days later, my whole body started stinging and itching... I ended up in the ER for an allergy shot... The doctor told me to stick with the Telfast... It felt better for a bit, but then came the fatigue in my legs, general weakness, joint pain, and these migrating tingles all over—including my head, face, and nose... Once the lump in my throat appeared, he prescribed pantoprazole for at least a week...

In the meantime, I did some digging online and stumbled upon the possibility of a Candida fungal infection... I mentioned it to my doctor; he didn't really believe me, but said we could run a swab if I wanted. I had to buy the transport swab and come back in... (I actually went back to the ER again for an allergy flare-up—hives all over that cleared up after a shower—but since it was the weekend, I went just to be safe because my doctor had stopped the Telfast. I complained about chest tightness and shallow breathing, which might have been from the medication, so they gave me an IV.) When I finally returned, he wasn't exactly thrilled, but he took a swab of my tongue.

A week later, the results came back positive. Isolated Candida spp. He prescribed Daktarin gel... half a teaspoon four times a day, dissolved in the mouth and swallowed. Meanwhile, my vision started acting up, so I went to get glasses—but it hasn't helped at all... I feel like I'm looking through someone else's eyes—everything feels surreal, whether I'm wearing glasses or not... It isn't constant, just happens intermittently throughout the day... I'm also having frequent bathroom trips... headaches and a heavy feeling in my jaw have persisted for a couple of days now.

A few days ago, I saw a dermatologist—he recommended Difulcan 50 mg for seven days, and I'm currently on day five. He ordered a urine culture, an H. pylori test, and total IgE levels... I'm taking Bio-Kult Candea to boost good gut bacteria, plus Vitamin C, lemonade, whey, Solgar vitamins and minerals, Astaval antioxidants, green tea, and I rinse my mouth with sage tea... and I am losing my mind... my concentration is non-existent, and forgetfulness and brain fog are my new normal... I have one severely decayed tooth and I'm not sure if there's a connection; my dentist told me to follow up once the tongue issue passed—right at the start of everything—and now the dermatologist is calling for dental work.

I actually moved my records from one dentist to another recently, since the first one cracked the very tooth that's causing trouble when pulling another one nearby... I'm curious if anyone else has dealt with these kinds of Candida issues... right now, I feel like I have every ailment from MS and polyneuropathy to fungal meningitis. If I walked into a doctor's office with this list, they'd probably toss me out and send me straight to a psychiatrist—which isn't far off, considering I've dealt with diagnosed anxiety for three years. (I was on medication for two years, but I stopped a year ago because I feel like it just masks the symptoms rather than fixing them.)🙂🙂

Dear honey, you're still quite young to be dealing with all of this. I have almost all the same symptoms as you—and I'm already 25. It was only two months ago that they finally identified it as Cande. I don't react well to Difulcan—it barely does anything—and my doctor doesn't seem to take me seriously. Since I'm over 60, I suspect I might never fully clear it, especially since my husband has it too (we aren't being intimate)—it's just so infectious. You really have to be persistent, incredibly persistent...

I managed to set up a second Google account with a Gmail address—so, what now? How am I supposed to actually use this thing?

We have two laptops logged into the same Gmail account—everything we do shows up on both screens. Any idea how to separate them? Help.

If there are no replies, I suppose the thread should just be closed. Thanks.

Does anyone actually recommend this HP OfficeJet Pro, and how's the ink lasting? Has anyone here used one before? I could use some help.

Kate Collins67 said:I can only offer my own perspective here.

If a metastasis is located within the specific areas covered by a densitometry scan—and if the bone damage is significant enough—it might show up; however, that's only true if the lesion is right where the densitometry "looks." Otherwise, even a standard X-ray often fails to catch bone metastases.

But there’s really no point in overthinking it—if there's any suspicion of metastasis, the logical step is to get a standard X-ray of the painful area, followed by an MRI.

Mr. Thank You for the response!
My sister had an X-ray two days ago; when I asked about a diagnosis, she mentioned being referred to an oncologist and brought up something called osteoplastic—I looked it up, but apparently, osteoplastic isn't a type of cancer.
Her densitometry from six months ago showed her bones were fine.
Given that she’s dealing with intense pain on the left side of her pelvis that radiates down her left leg—almost like sciatica—she’s receiving injections of dexamethasone plus something else, I'm not entirely sure, which helps enough for her to stay mobile.
I suppose I just feel she made a mistake by not opting for surgery earlier.
Thanks again for the help!

wiredtrucker13 said:I was wondering if a bone density scan can actually detect bone cancer?
My sister has untreated breast cancer—she chose not to have surgery—which was diagnosed back in September 2010. For about a month now, she’s been dealing with pain in her lower back and leg, almost like sciatica, and she's barely able to move. She's been on Femara since June of this year, which is why she had a DEXA scan—it came back normal, just like the one she had earlier in June.

Is anyone able to weigh in here??

My sister has untreated breast cancer—she opted out of surgery—which was diagnosed back in September 2010. For about a month now, she’s been dealing with intense lower back and leg pain, almost like sciatica, and it’s left her pretty much immobile. She’s been on Femara since June of this year, which is why she had a DEXA scan—it came back normal, and another one in June showed the same thing.

Joshua Garcia3 said:I don't really see why you need a siren to go off just to let you know the lights are blinking—or that cannons are firing, for that matter—when you've already got this. Skype. 😢

You’re hilarious—I guess I might have misspoken. Isn't Skype meant for chatting, much like Skype?

Is there anything better? Maybe... I guess.

Is there some kind of program that would let me know when I've received mail on Gmail?😲

I managed to get everything set up and even had one video call—though my video froze about thirty minutes in, even though I could still see the other person. I didn't touch a thing, and my WEBCAM indicates it's capturing, so I guess I'm just lost here. Does anyone know what happened or what I should try next? Any help would be appreciated.

wiredtrucker13 said:Thanks—I'll try to figure it out!

Neither one is working for me... maybe you could walk me through it step by step?

Casey Long2 said:If they're running XP, I believe—unless I'm mistaken—there's an "add new hardware" option in the Control Panel that should trigger the driver installation. Alternatively, they could try "update driver software" under Device Manager, since Windows 7 doesn't have that specific "add new hardware" feature. If you just point them toward the driver file, it should work fine.

Thanks, I'll see if I can make sense of it.

Casey Long2 said:What kind of software—I mean, the driver itself should install without needing extra programs, I guess. If there’s a setup or an installer file, just run that. Otherwise, you might have to try through the Control Panel or Device Manager.

If you could just let me know how—whether it's via the Control Panel or that other way.

Casey Long2 said:Should I just grab the driver from the manufacturer's site?

I have the original driver—but some genius is telling me the required software can't be found. I suppose I might need some specific utility to actually run the installation. Any idea which one?
