I'm fifteen and weight 88 pounds. Trying hard to maintain myself, I ate a banana and three almonds for breakfast, a salad for lunch, but then for dinner, I ate a bunch of black-eyed peas with rice, and then some cake afterward. I had to eat the cake sooner or later, because my mom keeps telling me to finish it before it goes bad. And the reason I ate so much of black-eyed peas and rice is because last night, I was SO hungry, because I didn't eat much for dinner and I didn't want to be dreaming of food again tonight. Was it wrong of me to eat so much?

Hi, i am 22 years old and for the past few years my periods have been irregular but nothing serious, however i have been gradually geting my periods more spread apart. A few times i have gone without a period for 6 months. I was originally on birth control for about 4 years but then had to go off due to some blood pressure issues and my doctor didn't want to take any risks. I have had pap smear, many blood tests including thyroid, blood cells, etc...all came back negative. I have small cysts on my ovaries but they say nothing abnormally large. I am definitely not pregnant. Since the summer i have been now bleeding off and on for 3 months straight, it was only heavy for 2 weeks and now it's a mixture of spotting and sometimes light regular bleeding. It's really frustrating and my doctor says nothings wrong and since anything with hormones in it is out of the question due to the blood pressure thing, he says nothing can be done for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have a boyfriend currently serving in Iraq. I went and got tested and ended up having syphillis and chlamidya, I have been completly faithful to him and after I told him this he went and got tested and he didnt have anything, after thinking about it I was asking him if maybe the military does automatic shots or something that would get rid of that before he even knew he had it. I dont think that he would have not caught it considering we have been together for 2 years and have been having unprotected sex, if anyone has an answer for me I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

I had a root canal over 3 wks ago which had an abcess. The abcess is still there. How long before I worry? When I had the root canal dentist said it should go away within a few weeks. She came highly recommended. It's been over 3 wks, it hasn't even gotten smaller. I had some pearcing pain today. Not like before the RC but it's something. I'm scared.... When should I worry. I go in next week on Wednesday for my crown and I was told by my friend who is an RDA not to do it until the abcess is gone.

My jaw pops a lot. I'd say this has happened like between 1-2 years?? Sometimes I can't even open my mouth all the way.

It's not painful. It's just REALLY annoying...

OHH... and I can't just open my mouth all the way at first. Even when I'm about to take a bite of my food, I have to move my jaw to the side to where it pops and THEN I can open my mouth to eat.

My dentist says this is normal... especially for someone who's had their wisdom teeth pulled out.

I don't believe my dentist because I only know one other person who has this problem. This is NOT a normal thing. When I tell people about this, they're like, "What??"

Does anybody else have this problem?
I'm starting to think it's TMJ.........
But the thing is... it doesn't hurt. It just pops constantly and can't open my mouth all the way.

I just received my kit of ProActiv Solution two days ago, so I just thought I'd ask around for people who have used it and/or continue to use it. It has seemed to have cleaned up my oily t-zone already!!! Please, genuine opinions only.

He was fine yesterday no signs of any cold or flu. I took my kids and myself to get a flu shot just yesterday. Could this be a side effect?

I was bitten by a friends hamster the other day (about 5 days ago) and went to the doctor today. he dismissed it, saying that the odds of a hamster having rabies is almost 0. I'd really rather not mess around with a life threatening disease - better safe than sorry, right? about how long after a bite to symptoms appear? i want to get vaccinated asap if i have to. and yes, i washed my hands with soap and water immediately following the bite, but other than that, thought nothing of it. am i just too concerned about this?

Wondering which microdermabrasion product would be best for skin discoloration to restore skin back to original color from sun tan. The 3 i'm wondering about are: Neutrogena Advanced Solutions At Home MicroDermabrasion System, Mary Kay, or Youthful Essence. Also, which one would be best to use for constant sun exposure, or even a good sun block to use.

My son is 20 months old. it seems like when he has milk he either throws it up or gets diarreah. This has been happening for almost a week now. At first I thought he was sick. I don't give him cups of milk that often, he gets calcium from other foods. Over the past month or more he has gotten sick requently and thinking back it seems to be after drinking milk. Some told me he may have a milk allergy or be lactose intolerant. The thing is he eats cereal with milk in it, he eats cheese and yogurt, he also eats ice cream. This doesn't sound like an allergy or anything to me, maybe just a coincidence? what do you think?

I am just interested to see what peoples doctors tell them when they perscribe the medication. I know someone who is on it right now, they have been on it for a week and are on 600mg a day. They have been taking one in the morning and it totally makes them like out of this world. They can not speak clearly, you can not understand them and they fall asleep while they are talking to you. She has almost burnt the house down 5 times since she has been at my house because she has fallen asleep with a cigarette in her mouth or hand. I was under the impression it was for night time use only. Please help!!! She is driving me nuts!!
