Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Renegotiate, if necessary. Figure out the interest rate. Fund escrow. Do a final walk through. Sign the papers.

Answer: Depending on the results of your inspection and your closing conditions (unless spelled out in the paper work, property may be "as is"), you may need to renegotiate your offer. Certain issues, like bug and structural damage, may mean you'll want to pay more or less for the home.  If anything came up in inspection, you have two options. You can pay less for the home, given that you'll have to pay for costs of repairs. You can also ask that the seller have repairs made before you finalize the deal and pay the originally agreed upon price.  Repair companies and pest removal companies can often only give an estimated cost. This can make renegotiating the price given cost of repairs difficult. The best option is to ask that the seller have repairs made before finalizing the deal. This assures you will not spend more money than necessary. You need to lock down an interest rate before finalizing a real estate deal. Interest rates are unpredictable and tend to fluctuate over time, so try to lock down a low rate before signing any official paperwork. When you initially started negotiating your deal, you likely had to put down earnest money if it was included in the purchase and sale agreement. This is money put down in your escrow account to convey an earnest interest in purchasing the property. The earnest money usually goes towards funding escrow as well as your down payment.  As you move towards the closing process, you need to pay any remaining escrow fees. Before signing all your papers, do a final walkthrough of the property. Make sure no damage was done, any repairs you asked for were made, and nothing was removed or changed against your will. Once you've completed all else involved, there is nothing left to do but sign the papers. While this may seem like a simple process, there are a few things you should be aware of going in.  Real estate closings can be complicated. There may be over 100 pages of paperwork. While you do not have to read everything, make sure things like interest rates, down payments, closing costs, and your rights are what you agreed upon during the closing process.  If there is anything you don't understand about the real estate paperwork, consult a real estate attorney.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Plan for blood tests that bring your doctor closer to a diagnosis of MS. Schedule a spinal tap with your doctor. Prepare for an MRI through your healthcare provider or local health care facility. Ask your doctor about an evoked potential test. Make a follow-up appointment with your doctor.

Answer: This happens by ruling out other potential diseases that could be causing the symptoms. Inflammatory diseases, infections and chemical imbalances can result in similar symptoms, providing a red flag but also a false alarm. On top of this, many of these disorders can be effectively treated through medication and other treatments. Although a spinal tap, or lumbar puncture, can be uncomfortable, it is an essential step in diagnosing MS. This test involves the removal of a small sample of fluid from the spinal canal that is taken for analysis in a laboratory. The spinal tap is often a component in how to diagnose multiple sclerosis, because the fluid may show abnormalities in white blood cells or proteins that may indicate a malfunction of the body's immune system and the presence of the disease. This test may also rule out other diseases and infections. You may feel discomfort when the doctor administers a numbing agent to the area, but you shouldn't feel the procedure itself. In order to prepare for a lumbar puncture: Tell your doctor if you are taking any medications or herbal remedies than may thin out your blood. Empty your bladder. Sign a consent form and possibly a medical test information form.v This test, also known as magnetic resonance imaging, uses a magnet, radio waves and a computer to create an image of the brain and spinal cord. This test can be helpful in making a multiple sclerosis diagnosis because it often shows abnormalities or damage in these areas that can indicate the presence of the disease. An MRI is considered one of the best tests used to diagnose multiple sclerosis to date, although a diagnosis of MS is impossible to make using an MRI alone. That's because patients can still register a normal MRI and still have MS. As doctors are learning more about how to diagnose multiple sclerosis, this test is providing additional information to get an accurate determination of the disease. The procedure is painless and involves the use of visual or electrical stimuli to measure the electrical signals your body sends to your brain. Your doctor will refer you to a neurologist to have your test results interpreted. Once all of the tests are completed, your doctor will determine a diagnosis. If they make a diagnosis of MS, they'll then discuss your treatment options for managing the condition. This involves learning to effectively manage symptoms and slow the disease progression. While there is no cure for MS, many people are able to slow its progression and reduce how much the symptoms affect their life. Talk to your healthcare team about what you can expect from your condition.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Follow your doctor's suggestions for treatment of a minor infection. Get medical treatment for a serious infection. Use medicine to treat a superficial infection.

Answer: This treatment will vary, depending on what is causing the infection. He or she may prescribe oral or topical antibiotics, however, many times a doctor will simply suggest soaking the toe in a solution of ½ warm water and ½ liquid antibacterial soap for about 15 minutes three to four times every day and keeping the area clean.  Soaking helps with the infection and softens the skin to allow the infection to “come to a head." In the case of toenail fungal infections, your doctor may prescribe an oral anti-fungal medication or an anti-fungal prescription nail polish. If the infection is deep and serious, a physician may suggest treating it with a small surgical procedure. This means a quick surgical drainage of an infection, usually used in the case of an abscess.  The physician may first numb the toe with lidocaine and then open the infection with a scalpel and allow the pus to drain. Then, depending on how deep the infection is, a wicking material may be placed in the wound to allow for more drainage. The wound is then packed with gauze for 24 to 48 hours. The packing can be removed after this time and the wound is then examined and re-bandaged.  Oral antibiotics may be given as well. Surface (superficial) infections of the toe can be treated in a number of ways. These include:  Soaking: Just as with a more serious infection, soaking toe in a solution of ½ warm water and ½ a liquid antibacterial soap is usually recommended. You should soak for about 15 minutes once a day. OTC (over-the-counter) antibiotic creams and ointments for bacterial infections: These include Polysporin, Neosporin, Bacitracin or a Triple Antibiotic ointment. OTC (over-the-counter) anti-fungal creams for fungal infections: These include Lotrimin, Derman, Canesten, or another anti-fungal medicine.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Please the birthday girl or boy. Let yourself be self-centered. Do nothing if that’s what you want.
