I went to the gynecologist a few weeks ago to get checked (see my other question) and I was put on birth control pills though I am not sexually active. I was actually on my period a couple of weeks ago (the 6th) and now am bleeding lightly again and have cramps. Is this a normal side effect for the pill?

Mum was diagnosed with secondary liver cancer on friday. All we have been told is that they cannot do anything for her except prolong her life with chemo or radiotherapy and that it is terminal. This will kill her in the end. The initial tumour was a hormone related breast tumour that was removed via a mastectomy five years ago. Does anyone know what the prognosis is likely to be? It sounds like it is advanced but until later in the week I cannot find out what stage she is at.

food - I mean, it's fine to swallow but it kind of gets stuck further down my throat...I used to smoke...should I be worried?? I'm kind of anxious about it so it could just be anxiety (always think I have something wrong with me!)

Last night, I dropped a trash can on my big toe right at the base of the nail. Wow! It really hurt! I put ice on it - helped a little. I couldn't sleep last night because it was throbbing and hurt so much. I took Ibuprofen, but that only helped a little. The nail is dark purple, but there is no external blood. It feels like it's under pressure. Is it necessary to go to the doctor? I doubt it's broken. Besides, there's nothing a doc can do about a broken toe. What can I do to make it feel better?

Back in high school, I used to go to sleep around 11pm-1130pm but since I've started college, I've been going to bed around 2am-230am. At around 1am I try to go to sleep but I end up rolling around in my bed and I'm usually not tired. What can I do to go back to sleep around 11pm? Should I wake up earlier so that I'm tired during the day and go to sleep earlier?

Question for those who suffer migraines. Friday AM i was clearing my throat and ended up gagging myself - i have a VERY SENSTIVE gag reflex - anyway - as it was AM and i had nothing in my stomach - i was retching pretty hard and just white foamy stuff came up - i'm assuming the nasal drainage i was trying to clear. Anyway - when i stood up (i was hovering over my sink b/c i wasn't near the toilet when this happened) i had the worst headache i'd ever had - my face was bright red - i assume from all the blood rushing to it and my sinuses too - anywho - the headache lasted for about 5 minutes - i blew my nose about 5 times and each time it eased the pressure in my head. After the headache intensity subsided, i had this dull achy head all day - it went way Saturday but Sunday it was back but just in the back of my head on the left side - nothing helped it but lying down in the dark room. Today it's just dull - not sure if it's tension from retching or a migraine - anyone?
