Problem: Article: You might not be able to take statins if you have a history of some medical issues, including kidney, liver, or thyroid problems. Before prescribing atorvastatin, your doctor will order blood tests to ensure these and other organs are functioning properly. Your doctor will also check your liver and cholesterol at least once a year. This is a standard practice for anyone on atorvastatin. Some drugs and supplements can negatively interact with atorvastatin. Discuss any medications you take, including antifungals, drugs that suppress the immune system, medications for HIV, and oral contraceptives. A harmful drug interaction could cause unexpected side effects or lower a medication's effectiveness. To prevent liver and kidney damage, avoid drinking more than 2 alcoholic beverages per day while you take a statin. Grapefruit juice can also interfere with atorvastatin. Don't drink more than 1 US quart (0.95L) of juice or eat more than 1 large grapefruit per day. Tell your doctor if you experience any side effects, even if they're minor. Common side effects include headache, nausea, nasal inflammation, muscle aches and cramps and increased blood sugar levels. Some of these side effects might prompt your doctor to change your dosage, so it's important to let them know if you experience any. Try not to be so nervous about side effects that you're afraid to take your medicine. While they're considered common, these side effects occur in less than 1 in 10 people. Severe side effects are rare, but require emergency care. Stop taking atorvastatin and get immediate help if you experience swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing, rash, fever, muscle pain or weakness, unusual bleeding, or yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes. While overdoses are rare, taking too much atorvastatin at once can cause liver or kidney damage. Call emergency services if you or anyone in your household overdose and experience numbness or pain, diarrhea, or yellowing of the skin or eyes. Accidentally taking a single extra dose is unlikely to harm you. If you're worried about taking an extra dose, call your doctor or pharmacist. If you have children, store atorvastatin out of their reach to prevent accidental overdose. Tell your doctor if you're pregnant, planning on becoming pregnant, or breastfeeding. If any of these apply, you shouldn't take statins. Atorvastatin can injure an unborn baby and pass into breast milk. If you become pregnant while taking atorvastatin, stop taking it and call your doctor immediately. Your doctor might recommend taking a pregnancy test before starting atorvastatin. They'll also advise you to take a reliable contraceptive in order to prevent pregnancy.
Summary: Discuss any history of medical issues with your doctor. Tell your doctor about any medications, herbs, or supplements you take. Limit the amounts of alcohol and grapefruit juice you consume. Consult your doctor if you experience common side effects. Call emergency services if you experience severe side effects. Seek medical attention if you overdose. Don't take atorvastatin if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

Problem: Article: VoIP, which stands for Voice over Internet Protocol, works much the same way as a telephone, but it uses an internet connection instead of a phone line or cell service. To use a VoIP, you'll have to download the program offered by the service you choose, and the other party may need to install the same program. You'll also need a microphone and a speaker or headset, and some VoIP services require you to use a special phone that plugs into your computer. The main advantage of VoIP is that you can make calls for free or for a low monthly fee. However, the call quality may not be as high as calling from a traditional phone. Also, there may be an additional charge if you use the service to call a cell phone or land line. Popular VoIP services include Vonage, Google Voice, and Skype. Depending on where you live, it can sometimes be hard to get in touch with someone in Saudi Arabia, due to the differences in time zones and their Sunday-Thursday work week. If you're having trouble finding the time to meet up for a phone call, try sending them a message or an e-mail instead. That way, they'll be able to respond at their leisure.
Summary: Use a VoIP service to call using your computer. Use email or instant messaging for a quick and easy way to get in touch.

Problem: Article: If you want your sculpture to have color and your sculpting material was not itself colored, you may want to paint your sculpture. What type of paints you use will depend on what type of material you used, but for most materials, you want to use some type of acrylic paint. Model enamel paints will be necessary (or at least recommended) if using polymer clays. Prepare the sculpture for painting by washing it with soap and water or giving it a quick wipe down with some rubbing alcohol. If your paint goes down very streaky, a base coat or multiple coats may be necessary. Glosses and glazes can be used to make areas that should look wet, like eyes or open mouths, more realistic. Use an appropriate gloss or glaze for whatever material you are working with. A good basic option is Modge Podge. To create an even more realistic look, you can mix media as needed to get the look you want. This can mean using real hair for a sculpture of a person, real fabric for clothes, or actual dirt, rocks, or moss for your sculpture's base.
Summary: Paint your sculpture. Add gloss if desired. Mix media as necessary.

Problem: Article: A clean tank will ensure your fish recovers properly from fin rot and prevent the development of fin rot in the future. Get into the habit of cleaning the tank regularly. If you have a one gallon tank, you should change the water every three days. A 2.5 gallon tank should be changed every four to five days and a 5 gallon tank should be changed every seven days. If your tank is uncycled, you should do a 100% water change every time you clean the tank. Wash all the tank accessories and the gravel as well. Add aquarium salt to the water after every cleaning to keep the tank water healthy and monitor the pH of the tank so it is comfortable for your fish. Though it may be tempting to fill your tank with lots of fish, overcrowding can lead to high stress levels and a higher risk of disease for your fish. Make sure your fish are compatible with each other and have more than enough room to swim around and interact in a healthy way. If you start to notice that certain fish are nipping or biting at each other, this may be a sign that your tank is overcrowded. You may need to remove several fish from the tank or isolate one fish who seems to be acting aggressive towards the other fish. Certain fish are known to be fin nippers, including tiger barbs, serpae tetras, and black widow tetras. Angelfish and catfish can be fin nippers as well as pufferfish and targetfish. If you have any of these fish in your tank, keep an eye on them and separate them from other more vulnerable fish, like guppies. Try to give your fish a varied diet of high quality food and stick to a consistent feeding schedule. Overfeeding and underfeeding your fish can lead to a poor immune system and put your fish at a higher risk of diseases. Giving your fish too much food can also introduce too much bacteria into the tank, as uneaten food will float around in the water and increase the concentration of bacteria in the tank.
Summary:
Keep the tank clean and change the water once a week. Make sure the tank is not overcrowded. Give your fish high quality food.
