Health - 12 October 2006

My nan is suffering from a slight loss of memory- very simple things have started to confuse her. She keeps blacking out. it can't be fainting as it happened to her last week as she was sitting on the loo and she severely burnt her leg on the radiator and ended up in hospital for a week she never knows when they are going to happen. We think that they are like mini strokes that she is having but she says the doctors told her she is fine, we think she is keeping it from us and has ask the doctors not to say anything either.

Can anyone tell me what to look out for to know if they are or not? Has anyone ever experienced a stroke and does it hurt? I watched my grandad die in hospital this time last year after a massive stroke and I don't want to see that again.

I heard that tea tree suppositories are a good herbal remedy for yeast infections and/or vaginitis.

Since having my daughter 16weeks ago I bled for over 9weeks, I stopped for 8days since then Iv been bleeding 5 -7 days then off for 3 days max then starting again iv noticed i also bleed heavier after iv carried my daughter in her car seat or lifted anything heavy. My doctor puts it down to breastfeeding and being on the mini-pill but surely I cant go on like this forever, Has anyone else had this problem? and what did they do about it?

I tend to get myself overly freaked about little things, I wake up at night wondering if I did stuff at work, and if I can't figure out if I have or not, you can forget me calming down, even if its a little thing that is no trouble to fix! I've always done this, I'm talking since I was a kid, My dad is the same way. I started taking relacore (reduce stress caused cortisol that increases fat) to help with weight loss and it didnt really help with weight, but I could tell I was less freaked about stuff! I would prefer not to take a weight loss pill forever tho....do you have any suggestions about vitamins or other pills that I could take to calm me down? Thanks!

I had a massive night out last night where i smoked probably a packet of smokes and drunk loads of alcohol. This morning at work i went to the toilet and threw up but as i was finishing i threw up a heap of blood. It wasnt really that much and i am starting to feel a bit better but what should i do? should i wait to see if it happens again.

I do push-ups which have helped tone my bicep muscles. What can I do to tone triceps? I don't want to build them, just slim them.

what are some reasons OTHER then pregnancy that could make you "skip" a period?
I'm 22, 138lbs, I've recently been working out a lot and have dropped 16lbs in the last month, completly changed my eating habits (for the best). My last period was on September 12th, and the only person that I've been with has had a vescetminy (or however you spell it). I'm not really stressed out. The other thing is that I'm also having increased discharge too. I usually have a 26 day cycle and this means that I am officially 5 days late now.

I was going to wait a little longer to talk to my ob/gyn because I have my yearly on November 8th and was going to just hold out going early. Should I go early, or take a HPT or is it true that dropping that much weight can make you "skip" a period?

Also, YES i have a clockwork cycle, and NO i haven't started a new job. And I am NOT stressed out.

Two questions in one actually :

Does anybody know if there is a way to identify the type of HPV after it is detected in a pap-smear followed by a HPV PCR test ? If the doctors can tell me what type, at least the vaccine (Gardasil) can be used to prevent the other 3 types that it prevents.

Question 2 is : Does anybody have any 1st hand experience with gardasil ?

Thanks a lot. Any information is highly appreciated.

I am 24 and so is my partner we have 3 children between the two of us and I swear I feel like I am a sexaholic. I feel like I am almost forcing him to sleep with me and I don't want that feeling I want it to go away for good. I never want to feel like I am making him do something he doesn't want too. I just need to find something to safely take away the urge to do things anymore. I can't get chemical castoration because I am not some type of offender and I can't get myself fixed by a doctor untill I am 25 that is almost a whole year away. I don't want to feel like this for a year. But that is the only thing that I have found that will help lower my libido. Please if you have any insight on what I can safely do let me know.

Three weeks ago i got clear contacts & the first 2-3 days i saw really blurry, but by now i was seeing perfect. But i just got color ones & i'm seeing really blurry again. Will that go away in a few days too or is that not normal? Maybe they're in backwards but i cant tell because my clear ones have letters to make sure they're in right but my color ones dont. How can i tell if my color ones are in backwards? They told me that if they look like a bowl they're in right, but i dont see a difference no matter what way i flip them! Please help me!
