Health - 21 December 2006

I may be worrying for nothing...I had unprotected sex on the 20th day of my last cycle. I got what I thought was my period 2 days later (lighter than usual and more brown instead of red, lasted only 4 days, mine usually last 6), which was 5 days early. I was relieved and had no more worries of being pregnant. Since then, though, I have been extrememly tired - almost unable to get anything done when I get home from work. I've been getting headaches - nothing serious, but I never get headaches. I've been eating more than usual, and thirsty constantly. I started to get especially worried and looking things up online because for the past few days, I have been going to the bathroom constantly...

My question is, is it possible that I am pregnant even though I had my period? I've heard of implantation bleeding, but can that last 4 days? Are these symptoms of pregnany or something else?

Please help, I don't know if I'm ridiculous to be worrying about this or if I should take a test...

I am 38 yrs old and have been blessed with big red cysts that just come up whenenver they choose. I am on Minocycline and Tazorac creme, but sometimes they just have to come out when I am stressed and one did, a huge one on the end of my nose. Santa Claus must need a new Rudolph and that is fine but before then I have 2 parties to host. Anyone have any ideas that would zap this thing fast?
Thank you in advance,
Ann

Yesterday, i had gotten sick (vomited) and noticed afterwards that i now have red dots/splotches/freckles around my eyes and along my hairline. im thinking that it could possibly be popped blood vessels??? if so, will they go away or how do i make them go away?? is there another possibility? thanks:)

Hi everyone,

For awhile I had vaginal discharge and itching and I went to see a doctor, who said it was either BV or trichomoniasis. She put me on Flagyl which was supposed to take care of either.

I had unprocted sex with my partner and the infection returned. At this point I knew it had to be trichomoniasis. I went to the doctor again and she put me on Flagyl again. My boyfriend and I occasionally had sex with a condom. The infection symptoms were definitely reduced, but did not go away completely.

His doctor treated him for Trichomoniasis, and I went to a different doctor who told me that's "definitely what it was" while doing a pelvic exam.

Here is where my question comes in. My boyfriend has taken Flagyl, and I am taking it. I have been taking it for one week plus using gel suppositories my doctor gave me.However, I still am having a lot of thick discharge with a slight oder, but no itching. Should it be gone by now? I have not had sex. condom or not, in over a week.

Hey guys. I have a few questions. I’ve been doing some research(this site rocks by the way) and I decided to give 5-HTP, valerian and chamomile tea a shot. I do suffer from anxiety(I feel like im having a heart attack out of nowhere) and slight depression( I feel emotional once in a while for no reason). My question is, can these be mixed together and are there any side effects. Im currently taking St. Johns wort and I must say it does work, but only temporarily. I was prescribed lexapro(worst drug on earth stay away) and had the most terrible results after only two pills, I was also given Xanax and it was a God send, but because of its addictive nature my doc wouldn’t refill my prescription. So I decided to try the "natural" route. Please Help!!!!!

I shave off all the hair on and around my penis, including balls, except for a small patch I keep on top. I am 6 in. long, 5 in. in girth. Do you like a guy to keep his pubic hair like this. And am I a good size?

I've been making out quite heavily with my boyfriend. He keeps his jeans on, but I'm only in my undergarments. Can I get STDs (sexually-transmitted disease), or pregnant from this? Is there any health or sexual danger from kissing his penis from outside his wet jeans (he never took them off)? I'm worried. Thank you.

I dont have any cold symptoms, but my nose keeps running, and only from the top, like it only comes out of the top corners of my nose, so annoying! My nose is red and cut in corners now from wiping it. What do you think it could be? Allergys? I never suffered from this before, also could it be from the smog here in Los Angeles?

If I continue eating and exercising the way I have been, will I keep losing?! =) That's great, but how can I KEEP my weight stable as well?

Also, why does our weight change throughout the day? How do we know which amount of weight we really weigh? I heard that the time you wake up in the morning is your actual current weight.

What foods help flatten the stomach?

Over a week ago I hurt my knee running. I was running up a hill when all of a sudden I felt a very sharp, almost tearing pain on the inside of my knee. At first I saw a dr. who said it was just a bone bruise. It didn't get any better in a week so I saw another dr. who said not to worry and that it was just Housemaid's Knee. The thing is, the pain isn't in front of my kneecap; it's extremely tender all along the inside of that knee. It's painful to walk and my kneecap kind of pops when I walk. When I run the pain is mostly medial but it also hurts on the outside when my foot hits the ground. Does this sound like bursitis? The dr. I saw told me to just take 2 Aleve a day and to call him in January.

My father within the last few weeks has had flu-like symptoms (even took two days off work..which he NEVER does) and has had shooting pain through his right shoulder down his arm. I was wondering if this could be a precursor to a heart attack. He has been to 2 different doctors within the past few weeks and his surgeon is 'almost' sure its not heart-related but it the same breath ordered a stress test???
