I am taking birth control to control my periods and most of my friends told me you will start having cravings than gain weight. I did not gain weight when I was on it but I suddenly stopped taking them and my periods became heavy again, with the cramping and now I am craving food, especially sweet stuff. I know I am not pregnant because I am still a virgin. Does anyone know what is going on?

So I know that it's good to drink a lot of water.. But what does it do for you in the long run? And is it possible to drink TOO much water?

Will burning calories also help lower your 'fat' or drop a few

If so..what would be the best 'workout' or way to lose 200 to 1600
calories in a 1 hour period of time??

OK, so 2 nights ago I had this dream where my crush asked me to go to the movies, and I said yes... duh. So in my dream I was telling all my friends and I think it was going around the school or something, but then I woke up before I got to go to the movies. Does this dream mean anything? Oh yeah and are there any good websites where it can tell you what your dreams mean?

I keep getting pulls , stretches, in my writst, fingers... maybe i get burned alittle.. maybe i touch some ice and then my hand feels really weird and then i keep thinking "oh great nerve damage forever".. Or even pains in the ears or other body parts make me feel like i will never get better.. and my life is over. am i mentally weak? My parents get injuries and they just brush it off and don't think about it. but i do. Could it be because i have had injuries before and i don't want to get anymore...Like i was involved in a bush crash when 6 yrs old and had major surgery. I'm so tired i also have chest pains and all kinds of things.. i just feel i'm tired of it, i want to be healthy.

I have been like this for a week now and cant get rid of it. Im 14 years old. My symptoms have been feeling weak, headches, nausea, dizzy, feeling to vomit, cant take a sh*t, dry mouth, and i havent been able to eat the way i used to or im eatin too little, shortness of breath. I went to the docter and took a blood test, diabeties test, urine test, blood flow, and an ekg. They found nothing wrong. Im trying to find out what is it. The day i got it a had alot of stress . Thats when it all started after that day. Could it be related to mental, or physical conditons? Has anyone ever had this kind of sickness before?

I went to the doctor because I was short of breath and had tightness in my chest. I was diagnosed with GERDS but they also did bloodwork on me and said that my platelets were low. Platelet count was 34. I also have a very severe bladder and kidney infection. I already have Spina Bifida and have since birth but don't think that has anything to do with it. The doctor said that this probably meant that I had something viral. I was but on Levaquin for the bladder/kidney infection and during this time I began feeling dizzy, light-headed, and very shaky with a slight headache. I stopped the medacine and I feel alot better but not back to normal. I am just worried about my platelet count though because I got on the internet to see what could cause that and according to what I understand on some websites, a cause could be Luekeimia. This just really freaks me out Could it really be this bad? Am I overreacting? Please help!

I'm 26 yrs old male. And i have a lot of injuries and pains. But there are other people that don't have, seems like it. They walk normally forever, can do exercise even up until they are old, etc etc. Does it mean, these people are too passive and so they never have any risk of injuries? I used to run, so one day i tried something and i hurt my knee. yeah maybe that's why some people don't get injuries, either cause they don't try anything. or they are very well built. like, one of the reasons i get injuries over and over is because i have crooked spine, and uneven leg size. i used to be a active guy, now i limp and i can't move fast. So are some peple just built perfectly since birth?

My feet often hurt a lot and I recently had my feet digitally analyzed by a chiropracter. I learned my arches are very high. They told me custome-made orthotics can help, but I've heard people say they either don't do anything or are uncomfortable. I've tried simply drug store inserts, but they only buy me a little more time before my feet start hurting again. Before I shell out any money, what is the truth?

I found a blunt knife and i keep trying to cut y arm with it. it hardly ever cuts my skin or draw blood but it makes a really deep impression and leaves a scar.

It doesnt even hurt that much but it feels good when it does hurt.

Why am I doing this? and why do I enjoy doing it?

even though it is quite an ambitious move my friend and i want to find a cure for cancer, so if you could list the gender of the person and what kind of cancer they have and roughly their age that would be great. too many people in this world are sick, and 3 out of 4 of my grandparents have died from cancer. 1 is still living and i just ran 5k (roughly 4 and a half miles) for my friends cousins lymphoma cancer. thank you so much. and may all of you live long happy and healthy lives.
