I know if you have this it could mean upper GI bleeding, but what does the term "tarry" mean? Can someone describe what they are talking about when they say "tarry"? thanks.

It was somewhere around the month of this june, maybe july.. idk if it was the stress or the curiosity
but there was one week where everynight i would take a walk down to this field where i would probably gaze at the stars for about a half an hour before proceeding to cut my hand/wrist.. nothing fatal but the scars are just now starting to fade. it looked like i had ran through a pricker bush so that was what i had told everyone. was there pain? no, i dont think i felt it.. but i learned that if your only source of light is a red one, then i will seem as if you just have drops of water on your hand. i found that interesting..
it was a learning experience to know what it feels like to walk through scool with something that no one would dare ask where it actually came from.. yet the experienced people knew. is that normal, dangerous, stupid,or what? id like to hear your thoughts and ill answer any questions incase i missed some part of the story

i am 16 and i am 5'5 and now weigh 136 lbs...well when i was younger i under-went a stupid eating disorder, i never reseaved help or anything, but i continued with my problem for about 2 years and lost a lot of weight.
i soon got over weight obsession...but about June of this year i fell into deep deep depression, and well, developed Bilimia and that lasted about a month or two...then i got help for that (secretly, know body in my family knew about bilimia, but they did find out about annorexia) my youth pastors wife helped me with that problem.
but i cant help but fall into these stupid traps over and over again, like my eating pattern is way way way off...i go a couple days with no food nor water, and feel fine! but the weird thing is, i am not losing weight from that...it is like my body is used to starvation...will this visious cycle ever end?

I am 15 years old, male, and I am 5"4 and weigh anywhere from 102-108 pounds, do I have a fast metabolism? I just ate a lot of candy, would it burn off by me not doing anything or would I have to work out really hard?

answers to both of these questions will get the 10 pts, thanks.

Me and my wife were told that our three month old daughter( she was born 1 month premature) might have whooping cough. I say might because one doctor said yes another said he wasn't sure and another said she had it but it was okay, and none of them precribed any treatment. We have already seen three doctors over this and still no results, we don't know where else to turn.
Our daughter's symptoms are: coughing until she vomits, she can't sleep, she won't eat, when she does sleep or eats she coughs until she wakes up or vomits what she just ate, and she has a lot of snot, coughing it up and runny nose. we have given her decongestant cough medicine but nothing helps.
If anyone can give us answers or even some helpful advice, maybe what to do next, we would be very grateful.

He has a lot of water retention in his whole body. He came home from the hospital yesterday, and they removed his picc line (a port to take blood, place IV, etc.) Tonight, the hole where it went into his arm has started leaking quite a bit of water. Is this normal? there is no no blood coming out, but the actual little hole looks slightly infected.
