Health - 3 January 2007

My sister is seventeen and she is losing hair in such a way that it is noticeable and that one can see her scalp at various areas atop her scalp. She is generally losing hair along her hair line, and near the back top of her crown. She has noticably been losing hair for about a year and she has an irregular menstrual cycle. At one point, she did not have her period for six months! Also, she is around 10-15 pounds overweight and although she has been tested for thyroids and poly cystic sydrome (or something like that)--all of her tests came back normal. She loses a lot of hair daily and her hair is always dry and frizzy, however when she goes without showering for even one day, her hair appears really oily and her hair loss is even easier to spot. She used to have thick, rich, luscious hair--and now we don't know what's happened. Can anyone help? She is very insecure about it. Also, her mother seemed to have lost a bit of hair around the age of seventeen as well. What to do?

Need some info?
Pregnancy or insanity lol?
If I had sex 5 months ago and have been having normal periods and not gaining weight, and also had a negative HPT 4 months ago would it be safe to say I am not pregnant?

The doc said to ice it, but ice seems to bring on a spazz & cramp. Is that supposed to happen? Trying not to go crazy with ibuprophen because it aggravates the reflux. Experience only please, no copy/paste and ABSOLUTELY no Wiki

I am curious, because I am getting cabin fever and want to visit friends. I believe I am experiencing bronchitis. The reason I believe this is because of past experience. We are talking exact same symptoms now as in the past. In the past I was diagnosed with acute bronchitis. (I never thought it was ever cute.)

Seriously, why?

Most humans have little pockets, or dents, on their tonsils. But a lot of times, food or snot gets stuck in the dents and causes infections.

What are the purpose for those pockets? I know they're causing me a lot of pain right now :-((

im looking for something fairly cheap that i can get from walmart, walgreens or GNC. i need something to boost endurance and assist in muscle growth.
are there any supplements that act like anabolic steroids but without the side effects?

what else do you recommend for building muscle mass and increasing endurance? i am a high school senior and i do comp XC mountain bike racing, i dont work, and i get about 7-9 hours of sleep daily. i have a somewhat vegetarian diet (i only eat chicken, beef and the like occasionally). i also ride about 40miles per week and have a regular workout routine, but i dont seem to be getting any bigger. i feel like ive gotten to a climax and im sliding downhill slowly. thats why im looking for a supplement to boost my energy levels so i can work out more often.

I know that women look at a man's hands to try to tell how big he is "down there" without even seeing him naked. I want to know how to tell what a woman's p**sy, or vulva, looks like, whether she has thin lips, or thick lips and so on, without actually seeing her naked.

I got bloodwork taken for mono last week. The doctors said they would call me when they got my results back from the hospital. They never did so my mom called them up. The receptionist at my doctors office called them up and they said they had results for one of my tests but couldnt give them. My mother called them back today and they said they didnt have them at all anymore. They told us they would get them back from records and call us. Once agian they didnt. Im getting really mad and worried I have to do the tests agian. Is there anything I can do to get my results faster?
