Health - 12 December 2006

That's what my friend Lou told me. Since then I have been diligent. Sometimes 3 or 4 times just to be on the safe side. But suppose I miss a day. Not likely. But just suppose.

Today I went to the doctors with my mom, the doctor asked me if I was on birthcontrol or if I would like to be and I said yes. The only problem was he started to ask me questions and one of them was if I smoke or take drugs. I smoke and on occation smoke marijuana, what can this do to me?

Ok so, I'm usually very regular, and I haven't gotten my period yet. I should've a bout a week and a half ago.
Recently, I've been cutting down alot on what I eat, and I've lost weight.
Also, exams are the rest of this week..
Could it be stress or sudden weight loss?
Will I be ok?
I'm still young, and want to have kids someday...
so yeah, this is worrying me alot...

Thanks.

Lately i have been getting these horrible headaches. I will just be relaxing at home, watching tv, whatever. All of the sudden i will notice that the light, any kind of light will give me theee most horrible headache that is impossible to get rid of. I know its from the light because when those headaches occur, I need to squint and turn off the lights. Any comments or suggestions? Has this happen to anyone else?

I walk 1 hour a day, 5 days a week. I just started this last week. Sometimes I feel off balance is that normal? Almost like im gonna fall or pass out. Im 250lbs and only 5'2". I want to lose a good 50lbs to start with.
Is there a certain amount of miles I should walk within an hour? So that I know im walking fast enough.
I also cut out all sweets, soda and junk food. I bought fruits and healthy snacks. The 100 calorie snacks are good.

My boyfriend has been having Dry (unproductive) cough for nearly a year now. He has gone to multiple doctors, had chest X-rays, blood tests, and a Cat scan and everything comes back negative (meaning he has no signs of anything wrong). The cat scan was the most recent. He is getting extremely aggravated and has no clue what it is and what to do. So far they have tried giving him Advair (didn't work), Albuterol (didn't work), Prednisone (didn't work), Ciproflauxin (didn't work), and he has tried cough drops, robitussen, Nyquil, dayquil, and other over the counter cough suppressants. If anyone has any idea or anything we can do please let me know. I am getting worried. The cough just keeps getting worse and it seems there is no end to this in the near future since the Doctor's are just saying "here try this" over and over with no results.

Oh and we both are non-smokers and he has a cat but he has no allergies to pet dander…

Please tell me all you can

I am 6 months pregnant and am married, me and my husband are not having problems and I have all std test's ran and everything came back normal.....
well like 2 days ago, I noticed a bump on the outside of my vagina, on the lip, and at first it didn't bother me, but now it's gotten bigger and it looks like it has pus in it.. it is disgusting, I have never had this happen before, I am gonna go to the doctor and find out what it is, but what I want to know is have anyone else experienced this??

I am freaking out about it.. it looks almost like a big hard pimple that is about to pop.. I know it sounds nasty but I want to give as much details, so you can get a good picture of what I'm talking about... If you know anything or had this happen please give me some advice.. it is painful and a little itchy, but I have no vaginal odor or discharge, it's just this annoying big bump, that's driving me nut's... please help...??

I try to be a good mother and do everything I can to make sure they have what they want/need but sometimes I get so depressed. I feel like my husband isn't appreciative of me- some days we don't speak to each other- not because we're fighting, but because we have nothing to say. I love him, but I don't know for sure that he loves me back. I have no desire to cheat, but recently while I was out buying groceries a guy hit on me and I walked away and ignored him, but cried the whole way home from the store because I felt like if a complete stranger can find me attractive, why can't the father of my children. Sometimes I get sad and I just zone out and my kids will want me to play but I'm so physically and emotionally exhausted I can't play with them. When I try to get my husband to help with the kids, he sometimes acts like he shouldn't have to do anything at home because he works all day. He leaves all the finances to me and that's stressful too. I'm so overwhelmed.

the more you get sex, the more you want it. My husband and I have sex on average about four times a week, and he says that's not enough for him to want more. He says the less he gets it the less he wants it, and the more he gets it the more he wants it. I thought it was the opposite. How is it for you guys out there? Is it really that way?

For married guys out there, too, how many times do you and your wife (I only want to know about your wife lol) have sex and how long have you been married for? My hubby says that we don't have sex as often as we should be when we've been married only three years.

They used to be very rare, even 10 yrs ago. Nowadays, you can't go anywhere without someone claiming to have or worried about someone else with food allergies, and it seems to be the majority of the population that has them. And that it is now rare if you don't have any. How did they increase so rapidly? Is something like that even scientifically possible? Is it a fairly new genetic thing or something else?

I'm not saying they don't exist but I have honestly never met anyone, adult or child, who has ever had any.

referring to my previous question about toileting, I wondered if y'all'd have any interesting toileting experiences?

my most interesting toileting experience was in kenya most toilets there are just a hole in the ground usually surrounded by a cubicle.

on this particular occasion i'd just done my business & come out before the biggest spider looking thing came out it was white all over, it looked like a walking octopus with its head on top, of a scrotum like underbelly, all white and between the head and that scrotum sprouted legs. there were about 8 of us who witnessed it. needless to say we all ran a very long way away, then called adults who killed it and then pronounced it as ''just harmless''

saying that, my dad went to the bog once in a similar toilet only to smell a very large snake in the inside roof of the cubicle. if he'd have looked up and not backed up slowly i would have never been born he says.

do you have any embarrassing/dangerous/otherwise interesting...

I have family that can afford to help, but 4 some reason it's like they thrive on how this humiliates me and it makes me sick because I try and do anything I can 4 the. I am just asking for help because I have run out of options. I have Medicare and Medicaid and I am Disabled. Is there any Dentist out there who has a heart and be willing to help me out? I am not asking this for free, I will pay as much as I can afford if a Dentist could just make a legal agreement for payment and make a payment plan between the Dentist and myself. I know there has got to be someone out there willing to give someone back there confidence about theirself. Thank you for any Dentist that will respond..
