Health - 26 September 2006

I read that hyperkalemia resembles sleep narcolepsy. I was diagnosed with sleep narcolepsy, how ever, a person who falls asleep due to narcolepsy is supposed to wake up refreshed. In a research study, (peer reviewed) they found the symptoms of hypokalemia to immitate narcolepsy. but i noticed one important difference. People with hypokalemia, don't get the refreshing naps, but can have prolonged muscle weakness, (Which more resembles me) then sleep narcolepsy. I understand that pottassium plays a part in it. Does anyone have input? I am hoping i do not really have this, because it can be life threatening, where sleep paralysis in narcolepsy is not (unless one falls asleep at the wheel) but my sleep is more controlled then just instantly falling asleep. Any info. could really, really help. thanks

I LOVE to kiss! It seems that no one likes to just make out for hours....all they want to do is go straight to SEX. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE sex, just sometimes it's nice to makeout. Am I the only one who thinks this? Am I the only one who finds this sexy, and sensuous? What's your opinion?

I am 23 years old, I have been on birth control pills for 5 years straight.

My doctor changed my pills to a different brand about 8 months ago. Last month I noticed I was having break through bleeding. I was spotting brown blood everyday for 2 weeks.

I have never missed a pill or taken any late. I finished that pack, had a short 4 day period, and started my new pill pack two days ago and I am having break through bleeding again!

My husband and I have unprotected sex, so I took a pregnancy test 3 weeks ago and one again today and both were negative.

I am not having any pregnancy symptoms, and I am 100% sure it is not STDs. All my check ups are perfect and I have never had this happen before or ever been pregnant.

Why would my pills all of a sudden start causing this after 8 months?

Is my body rejecting my birth control pills?

Could I get pregnant because of the break through bleeding?

I don't know how to put this. I'll try. I think I discovered something about myself. I have a serious difficulty learning new things and I have very poor short-term memory. I’ve never been the studious type in my younger days. I'm not young. I find myself surrounded by young people half my age who are faster and have bodies that heal quicker than mine. I face a serious language barrier. Companies in my country no longer prefer English-speaking people like myself. I don’t have the money to educate myself. On top of that, I have depression and have a history of it. And I have developed a serious phobia of meeting people outside. Is there a free way I can help myself? F.y.i., I can’t afford medication etc. I’d appreciate respectful answers.

They're starting to become painful and I want them pulled as soon as possible.

Does it hurt, or do they do a good job of sedating you?

I just got off the Ortho Evra patch after seeing numerous health warnings on the news. I don't want the patch anymore and I'm trying to find an alternative to pills. So if there are any women out there that are pleased with their birth control or could recommend one that would be great. Oh and I don't want the Depo shot either.

I already struggle enough with my weight...always going up and down atleast 10 pounds and currently trying to lose them. Im currently trying to find a birth control that wont make me gain weight. Is there such thing? My 3 options were the pill, the shot, or the patch but they all seem to have that side effect. I have a very slow metabolism & gain weight rapidly so the last thing I need is to gain some more...any ideas (besides having lots of sex to burn calories...haha)

It can be severe enough at times I want to double over-but I'm always on schedule-the older I get the more severe it has gotten. I've noticed the change for a few months. Any answers?
