Health - 22 December 2006

I retain water like crazy. I'll gain and lose several pounds in just a day or two. My rings will be too big, and then too small. My jeans won't fit some days. This week has been the worst. I gained 5 pounds in just three days and today my face is all swollen. I'm not pregnant and this happens all month, not just when I'm on my period. I know that some water retention is normal, but this much? Should I be concerned? Is it possibly a symptom of a larger problem? I drink lot's of water and I try to avoid MSG and too many preservatives in my food, but it still doesn't help.

Is it normal to stop having your period?

I haven't had my period for a while now. I took a pregnancy test when I was five days late and it was negative. I'm only 19 so I know I'm not going through menopause. I have always had normal periods before. I am not stressed or doing anything differently. Is this normal? Could I possibly be infertile? I am just worried.

Will I get general anesthesia?

I need to get my wisdom tooth pulled because it is growing into my other tooth. It is not full out yet it has barley reached the top. My question is will I get the general anesthesia? My mom says I won't get put to sleep at the dentist office because it costs too much money and that it is her decisision not mine. So is there a possibility that they would put me under general anesthesia? Do normal dentists administer that?
