i am 2o yrs old. I have researched all day about PMS symtoms and treatments, and how to get my boyfriend to understand that even though me being moody really sucks, its completely normal for at least 7 days a month.

For the guys: If you have a sister, girlfriend, wife ect. and get to experience PMS symtoms every month, you do you deal? Are you understanding and more caring during that time? do you get pissed off and make the anger worse? What things go through your mind? what do you wish you could tell us when we act so bizarre? do you even think its ok, or normal? Thank you

Ladies: Like me, I hate it. That cramping, bloating, food cravings ect is just plain ridiculous, but, we cant help it. In this case, what do you do to cope with your brother, boyfriend, husband ect. when you realize you had said something, or started something completely un called for? do you fight more? how do you feel they act towards you? does it seem that they try and make it worse? HELP!!!

I have not been satisfied with the medical treatment i have received while living abroad. I'm seriously considering returning to a "Western" nation if I am not better soon. I believe I have Chlamydia, due to the exact symtoms for that disease arising a few days after unprotected sex.

Doctors here took samples and couldn't find the cause of my symptoms and have said that it may be a urinary tract infection, or some other cause. I am convinced it is Chlamydia, though of course I could certainly be wrong.

A few weeks ago I was prescribed 100mg Doxycycline once daily. This did not cure me, and through research on the internet I found that it should be taken twice daily to cure Chlamydia.

So, if anyone with knowledge of this new medication (Levofloxacin 100mg) could tell me if the regimen I have been prescribed will be effective for either Chlamydia or a urinary tract infection, I would greatly appreciate it.

for no apparent reasons, i will feel a rush coming on, followed by a weird metallic smell, and the inability to express myself . i break out in a sweat, and lasts only a minute.
it usually happens in batched every 30 minutes, for a day, then won't happen again for months.
i went to ER once, and all tests were negative.
thanks for all opinions.

How much exposure to radiation will it take for negative effects on your health/life to happen? Is it worse if you yourself are exposed to the radiation or if you, say, eat or drink something that has been exposed to radiation? Is exposure to things giving off radiation like computers, photocopy machines, TV and the like, or consuming something (food, drink) placed dangerously near them while they're on anything to worry about?

I haven't had my period for about 3 months now. My friends mom said it was because I am in volleyball and my blood is always flowing. I was wondering if that is true and if it is healthy.

About five years ago, i got saved and baptised. But i got too obsesive about God. Now i pray all the time, every day. I have been doin this pretty much since i got saved. But now i have gotten really bad. I still love God, but I think that satan is makeing me think that i have done bad things. Like once i made eye contact with this guy on a bike and thought something like " he might crash and die" but it fells like i tried to hurt him, even though nothing was gonna happen. I have done this stuff before. I guess what started this was the fear of going to Hell. even though I am not, satan is trying to bring me down and ruin my life. maybe i need stuff to get my mind off things. thanks for reading, but i will never kill myself, that sends you to Hell, and it wont help.

Allow me to expound onmy previous question...I don't think about breasts 24/7/365...I meant by "all day" is that whenever I see a woman, my first reaction is to look in the chest area, most using periffial (probably mis-spelled) vision. It does not matter where I am at. Let me make myself perfectly clear, I do not look at children or elderly woman.....mostly women in my own age group or at least look in my age group. I just do not want to come across as a pervert. I have the utmost respect for women and I do not think of them as sex-objects, I just can't seem to look a woman in the eyes until after I check out there breasts. Some women, from my own experience, seem to like to be looked at that way, but sometimes I feel like I am invading their privacy or leering at them at times. Again, please no sick responses, only adult responses...thank you....

When I was 11 (I'm 58 now) , I fell and had severe bruising of my left shoulder. On the outer side about 4 inches down, the muscle has always been very weak and fatigues very rapidly. I cannot hold a newspaper for more than a minute and can do very little exercise. Over the years, I've tried many exercises to strenghthen the muscle to no avail. Is it possible that the muscle was killed when injured?
I am at my keyboard right now and it has tired the muscle in the short time it has taken to type this.
I'd like to know if there is anything I can do. I've talked to doctors over the years and never had an answer explaining this.
