Currently I went to the doctor after about 4 days finding out I have gonorrhea. I was given 2 types of meds(5 pills all together). I took them at one time. My sypmtoms are gone and its been 48 hours. gonorrhea effected my rectul area. How can I pass it to someone or give it to someone? Would precum be spreading it? I thought it had to have direct contact in order to spread.

I am a female that is only 5'3 tall. For my height I am slightly over weight. I started last week counting calories but I get confused with calorie intake thing(ex. Your body needs this many caloreies a day) I've read that if I decrease my calorie intake by 500 calories a day then I will lose 1lb a week but I also need to tone my body. I

I also have a problem with working out and eating. i am not a morning person but when I get home I always find something else to do besides workout. I think I might start making myself get up in the morning and work out. I know its not going to be easy but I thing my eating habits are what is going to hurt me. I would love to hire a personal trainer but dont want to spend the money. I even thought about jenny craig. If I had some type of plan to follow then I think I would be ok.

I have not been having regular periods in the past 2 years. I am of fairly good health, just a little overweight. I was regular until about the age of 21 (5 years ago), when I went on birth control. Since then, I have times when I have no period at all, then years when I'm regular.

I went to see my doctor about a year ago for this and another problem I was having (stomach pains) and he could not find anything wrong with me - my hormones/thyroid are fine and everything. I have been avoiding going back since he never really solved my problems, just dismissing them as being 'stress related' and I do not have medical insurance and can not afford to pay the high costs of a doctor visit if he is going to tell me the same thing for this or have me do a bunch of crazy tests.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any serious complications that could arise from not having a period - or should I definitely go to the doctor?

I use this medication because it helps me sleep through the night. My doctor wont give me any other type of sleeping pills. Since taking this drug my memory has been very sluggish or I get total blockage of things and people that I should easily be able to recall. The decline in my memory skills started when I began this medication. 30 mg for 3 years and sluggish poor memory. Has anyone else noticed this side effect? This is very trouble some for me. I'm introducing a friend to someone and I've forgotten the friends name. Meal preparation is slower because it takes me longer to remember what is the next step. I have to constantly retrace my steps trying to figure out what was it that I needed in this room. I'm frustrated and want to quit this drug but I dont know what to substitute in its place because without it I cant sleep through the night. Can anyone offer me their suggestion.
Thankyou I'm very grateful.
