I've been off work for 8 weeks with severe asthma....I have oxygen, nebulisers and steroids at home. I'm under a thoracic consultant to find out what is wrong. Anyone got any ideas on how to get some temporary relief as I'm so fed up with being stuck in attatched to oxygen......also need some boredom busters !!!
If anyone else has bad asthma how do you relieve symptoms / cope?? I'm only 25 and really want to get back to work xx

I started getting a few pimples when I hit first got my period (circa 7th grade) and my skin got a little worse (nothing major just small bouts of acne breakout) since then my skin has never been completely perfect. There has always been clogged pores or the occasional breakout. In more recent years, (I'm 18 now) I would get the occasional sharp pain in my lower stomach, back or pelvic area but thought nothing of it. I also started getting a lot of stretch marks (hips, butt, thighs, one or two barely noticeable ones on my breasts) and some other body breakouts occasionally. About two months ago I began getting a lot of large boil-like pimples on my rear and my face got worse. Last month I ordered proactive and developed some cysts behind my ears (they went away though). Also, PCOS runs in my family. Are these signs of it? I feel like I'm falling apart. My boyfriend and friends tell me I'm beautiful but it's hard to feel that way when your body is whacked. Please help if you can. Thanks

Well, my question is it possible for a 19 years old to like or fall inlove to a guy who is much older than her? he is 36yrs old and she is 19yrs. old. And the most horrifying is that the girl is a student nurse and the guy is her patient?! QAnd then the student nurse know that the guy has family and 2kids.. and still she still like him... And how can you say that if the girl is really fallen inlove with him? here is the scenario.. the student nurse is keep on thinking about him and then after her duty in the hospital for 4days, she tell the patient that she will no longer handle him because it is her last day of duty and no longer will she ever handle him again because she will be assign to the other ward.. Then the patient said that she will be sad to see her go and then tomorrow afternoon after her exam. she go straight into the patient room and gave the patient whom she really like a present... I just want to ask is the girl already fallen inlove?

I haven't been taking my bc pills for about a month because I missed some days and got off schedule. Last night my husband and I had sex, but he was under the impression I was taking my pills. We were both a little tipsy. Anyway, would it make sense for me to take two birth control pills this morning to reduce my chances of getting pregnant? I've been told that the morning after pill is basically a high dose of birth control.

I know probably not many of you will want to answer a touchy subject like this but would really appreciate your thoughts/advice on it. My mum abused me (mentally & physically) when i was younger..the physical part stopped when I was about 14 but the mental part is still going on. I still live at home 'cos of study but i work part time and the money usually goes towards car payment & just general uni life costs. So moving out right now isn't an option. I can't really talk to her because she doesn't speak much english at all & I can't speak my native language very well either..well, not well enough to talk about this. She is very manipulative/angry etc and sometimes I catch myself thinking/acting like her. It scares me.Because what if i haf kids oneday. What really hurts me is that she thinks she hasn't done any wrong. Every now & again i'll haf nitemares about her hurting me N i'll wake up in tears. It pisses me off that she still has a hold of me.
