Health - 27 January 2007

I have seen so many adverts about birth control pills, ring, and shots and how to shorten your periods. I think it is so ridiculous to put out things that will harm you in the long run. I don't particularly care for such methods of birth control etcetera.

As far as shorter periods go, well I think that is even dumber. If we stop our cycles with pills like ones being advertised on tv, we are risking ourselves in a big way. Lots of women already clot when they have their periods. Why would you want to risk more clotting when you know it can kill you?!?

By holding back your period, you are holding in old eggs that the body needs to get rid of. So, why do a dumb thing like take a pill to make your periods shorter?!? Did you know that most methods of birth control and such are created by men? What do they know about a woman's body other than what they read in medical school?!?

Think about it ladies. Do not risk your lives cause it's not worth it!

I know it's kind of important to tell you parents about your first period, but do you have to tell them every time you get it?

I am going to run a half marathon (13 miles) in May to raise funds for charity. At the moment, I can run about 1metre before i feel like throwing up!! I really don't want to let everyone down, so does anyone know of any good training plans that I will be able to stick to? Bearing in mind, I have to go to university 4 days a week and i work 5 evenings a week, so I don't have a massive amount of spare time. Thanks :-)

I was running and jumped over a big cool sewer drain and my shoe slipped and I stepped on the hard rim at the back, and it made a huge bruise. What should I do?

I am a 20yrs old girl (weight 215.6lbs and height 5’6”). I wanted to watch my diet not so much for beauty purposes than health care. I always read health magazine or browse the internet etc etc but it doesn’t help because: 1) The recommended health foods are all foreign food e.g. salad n oats that even if they were locally available it was only in supermarket of malls in major cities plus; 2) it wasn’t cheap and; 3) I don’t know how to substitute it with local veggie or fruits because I don’t know how to count the calories in anything edible. I am currently living in Malaysia. Additionally, I have no access to healthy food because we’re not allowed to cook inside our room in campus and the foods sold are all oily and high in calories. I am also having the intention of doing some exercise. My only source of exercise right now is walking to and fro to classes that included climbing a very high stairs. I am too embarrassed to be seen doing any cardio exercises and I don’t know how to swim. I don’t want a fast result. I just want to have my eating problem resolved and watching my diet the fun way.

This doesn't happen when I run on the street. Is it a motion thing with the treadmill?

Anyone know if one can get infected even if they had a vaccine shot against it previously? If yes, how? Also, how frequent is it in western countries such as UK? Can you visit the patients and spend time with them in the hospital?

I heard that they work really well on abdominals and legs, that the belt sends tiny electronic pulses to your muscles to make them contract. They claim that 10 minutes is equivalant to 600 sit-ups...anyone know about these or tried them?

I feel a little like I have a handover. Dull headache, eyes sensitive to light, and no energy. Sleeping-in wasn't to catch up on lost sleep or due to illness or staying up late. I go to bed at my normal time, and because its a week end I don't set my alarm. Any ideas?

My dr. has suggested this for me. It has a lot of serious side effects though.
Even though I'm doing well, she said that this could help.
