I'm 5 0" and i just turned thirteen. I'm shorter than most everybody and so is my mom. If parents have to do anything with it then my mom is 4"10 and my dad is about 5 6" or 7" and I already had my growth spur.

It doesn't happen every time but maybe three times a year I have a horrible period. I can't see, I vomit, and I sleep for 1/2 the day. The cramps get so bad that i'm sure that that's what hell's like. and i vow to have a hysterectomy. and most of the time i have the migrane of the centuary. is this normal?
Thanks and God Bless!!

I'm just wondering because everyone is always telling me 'You're thin' or 'You don't need to lose weight' but when I see these really thin girls around, who are my age, I wish I could have that. They have perfect figures with flat stomachs and stuff. I'm not fat but I'm not one of those very thin people. Do you think it is a good idea to try and go on a diet and do an excercise regime? I know it seems like a stupid reason to do this but I sometimes feel insecure and I don't have a lot of confidence. Please help.

I have tried Modulen, steroids, and tube feeding. Modulen worked well... but now I can't stand it and I can't swallow it any more. I tried steroids but they make me to moody. I am terrified of needles so I don't want to try remicade. I am using tube feeding to stay in remision and it works well. But I can't seem to get into remision and I keep having blood in my stool. My doctor doesn't want me to try the makers diet, and I enjoy all natural things that are low in fiber. Any ideas?

When I had my period almost two weeks ago, I used Tampax Fresh Scent tampons. After about one or two days, I begin having a bad itch and eventually the itch began turning into pain. Thinking maybe it was just a yeast infection, I kept using the tampons. On the fourth day, I woke up to find bumps on the outside of my vagina, on the labia and on the inside near the opening. It also stung very badly when I urinated. My labia also became very swollen and painful. I stopped using the tampons on that time, but only now, a week later, are my symptoms subsiding. There is only tenderness left and the bumps are dried up and healing. I know this is graphic and may even seem gross, but has this ever happened to anyone else?

My boyfriend and I have practiced safe sex for the past 10 months. We use spermicidally lubed condoms and a water-based lubricant as suggested to avoid dryness. The condom has never broken/torn/ripped, slipped, etc. Yet I am still about 3-4 days past my expected start date. Could there be a possibility that something did in fact happen despite no condom failure?

I asked a question on here the other day about needing to find a dentist because I thought my wisdom tooth was coming in, but I found out that my back molar is cracked and the molar in front of that one needs a root canal. My husband and I lost a baby girl in Aug and are paying for a funeral and we do not qualify for the Credit Care Card (Medical credit card). We have insurance but don't have the $500 it is going to cost to get the root canal and the other tooth pulled. I have tried Community Care in my area, Semar, Dental Schools (Booked until Jan or Feb). All the dentists that I called are not willing to work with me on a payment plan. They all want payment upfront....even after I explain the situation. It is really frustrating when dentists keep saying that people need to get in every 6 months, but are not willing to help someone out that is having financial problems.

My ex told me in an e-mail he was sick in the past days with a 105.9 fever and that's why he wasn't able to respond to my e-mails. But, when i told my friend this he told me that he was surprised my ex hadn't died or something. So, basically how bad is a 105.9 fever, how serious, how realistic?

Thanks so much for your help! =D
