Ever since I was a baby I have had a problem with going to the bathroom, at 15 I actually ended up in the hospital because I got so backed up and they said I was very lucky I did not do any damage, I went from a flat tummy to looking like I was 6 months pregnant ... The doctor finally told me a name for it,
ibs(irritable bowel syndrome ) and said I had a balloon bowel and should stay away from iron as much as possible.

Since having my son two years ago I have not had a problem with it but recently stupid me decided to start drinking ice tea which has a lot of iron in it (i know stupid me)....

Well now I have a large and hard stool that I can not get out and have been trying to pass it since last night, I even tried eating loads of junk last night to try and give myself diahrea.

I remember when I was little my mother use to give me some type of oil but I do not know what kind it was. The only oil we have in the house is pure wesson vegetable oil,is that ok to take?

Here's the thing~ I have, for a very long time, had unusual and problematic sleeping habbits, mostly in maintaining a normal circadean rhythm. I often slept during the day, was awake all night, and never went to bed at the same time. For about the past month I have done much better, so much that I have seemed almost "normal" in my sleeping.

But the past week it has kinda turned around. Wednesday night I felt very strangely and couldn't sleep until well after the sun came up. I have tried to go to bed at reasonable times after that, and have set my alarm for 9am, but I have been consistantly sleeping until well after noon. I've been feeling like a brick in the mornings, and pulling myself out of bed has felt like pulling a bus up a steep hill. I'm usually extremely groggy, and it usually takes me hours before it totally goes away.

I would really like to find a solution to this, peferably one that doesnt involve expensive medical treatment. Blessings and thanks to all who answer!

I had a dream about a girl I knew from school not personally though, who was getting raped by a guy whom I also know but I didn't like him that much. Anyway after much trouble I stopped him eventually. But that dream scared the hell out of me. Because now I think am a freak who is in to this disgusting stuff since i had a dream about it.

I am a 21 year old virgin who has a serious problem. I have vaginal discharge for the past 3 years (enough that i have to wear a pad and change it usually two or three times a day). I have been to many doctors and to a gyno and they can't figure out the solution to the problem. One doctor even told me it's normal, which it can't be. I sometimes feel like a child because i get a rash around my vagina (like diaper rash) and have to use a cream. Any one with any ideas or helpful hints please reply!! Thankyou!!

Just curious. I quit smoking a while ago, and when I'm not chewing the nicotine gum, I use chewing tobacco. Does anyone know what the long term effects are IF I brush my teeth right after using it?

It's not a zit. It's an internal lump in my earlobe that is not squishy, and is fairly small. It doesn't really hurt. I just want to know what the heck it is?!?

So, yeah. I mean, I'm not thinking sexually about her at all, it just happens, and I don't like it. When I say physical contact, I mean hugging, holding hands, etc. I just want it to stop. It doesn't happen all of the time, but more than I would want it to.

My husband has OCPD. It is getting more and more difficult to deal with him. He refuses to go for help. Just everyday things are such a production. It's destroying our marriage and I really don't know what to do at this point. Is there anyone here who lives with a person who has OCPD that could give me some advice?

Sometimes I make myself throw up after eating alot (few times a week). Isn't it only considered an eating disorder if you always do it? Especially for guys?

It is given that pornography has multiple moral views. But what I am curious about is when is its use and effects abnormal or harmful to the person viewing it (single and in a relationship)?

He's going to die because of this. but he chooses to drink the poison..If you are a drinker, please ! No comments on defending a drinker that you maybe yourself. He has a belly like he is having twins. He goes in the hospital only for them to drain him of stomach fluids ( 5-7 liters) but comes home and starts right back with the beer. Now its at the point that the hospital is through with draining him. ( cause of insurance reasons) They are going to give him pills to take. I like this neighbor, he is really a good person, and only 38 yrs old. You can't talk to him about this disease. If any Doctors are on board here, what do you think as far as time does he have him on his health? Positve answers only please. Thank You...
