I was told that a friend's mom had bowel stones and had her bowels removed? I have personally never heard of such a thing. I have tried to look everywhere to this, but I have had no luck. I keep finding information about kidney stones that can lead to inflammatory bowels. UGH Please supply links if you can. Thank you so much.

I am very good friends with my ex and I do still love him, but there are many many problems between us. My ex and I get along great but we have a seven year history filled with ups and downs. Alcohol and partying have been a huge part of our past as well as lying and cheating. He has cheated on me twice in the past and I have cheated on him once. We have had violent fights and many comunication problems. I have decided to move on but we keep in touch and we still talk every day and we have had sex together many times. I feel like there is something between us that wont die and like we are so close that we almost cant live without eachother but i desperatialy want to see what else is out there. He has threatened suicide if I leave and he has tried once I dont know if I am more scared of him hurting himself or if I really do live him!! I am keeping him in my life and it is killing him because I dont know what I want. I love him but I feel like there may be something better for me???

i have posted some questions about this before.

one of my friends relapsed into depression early this week and it is worse than ever before. i have seen her become so sad that she has spent days crying, but it is worse now. she has shrunk into a shell and her eyes are dull and unresponsive. she has moments where phrases or questions connect, but they are rare and few. she has also started cutting. she wants to stop. she has told me that during the few times when she is "better", but it is an addiction she can't quit.

are there any ex-cutters who have advice for me or my friend on how to get through this? i am trying to be supportive and let her come to me and not badger her with questions, but i can't help her without knowing what the problem is. i don't know the cause of her depression. she and her boyfriend have never fought, her parents divorced MANY years ago and that has been resolved, and i can't think of anything else. what can i do to help her?

About 6 months ago I noticed a very mild pain between my left hip and belly button and have been feeling it off an on since. I don't feel the pain most of the time and I only seem to feel the pain when I press on the area in a certain way, sometimes if I press down there is no pain but if I rub the area I notice it. It feels like it is on the surface, and is always in the same area. The pain also seems to come and go, one week it is there the next its gone but it hasn't gotten more intense since the first time I noticed it. It hasn't caused me enough trouble to bother going to the doctor, I am perfectly healthy otherwise, but I am quite curious as to what the hell the cause of it is.. Any ideas? Should I see a Doctor?

If I eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich every week day, should I stay away from eating almonds and other nuts, too and instead eat almonds on the weekends? Why or why not?

What kind of image are they trying to give to the people of the United States? Can democrats at least understand why people are questioning their loyalty to the country? By having a Hezbollah imam lead the democrats in prayer is a bit strange and it leads people to ask questions on where their allegiance is.

The blood clots were the size of quarters to golf balls. The most I had on my pad at once were three. Also I was having to change my pad every half hour. Is this normal?

My girlfriend says a tampon is a plastic—an application where you stick it in. Strings are cotton. There are three pieces to a tampon. Stuff like that. Why is she being so technical?

The pain I'm having started a couple of months ago as a little niggling feeling down in my lower right abdomen, now two months on I am having severe pain all up the right hand side of my abdomen, occasionaly in the middle and left hand sides, feels like a bad stitch or extrememly bad period pains. I also have severe pain in my lower back which has worsened and spread further up over time.

I've been to the doctors a few times over the last month or two, been checked for pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy, sti's, uti's, had blood tests, an ultrasound to check for ovarian cysts and everything has came back clear. doctor won't do anything except refer me to a gynaecologist but that should take 4-5 MONTHS! i'm in agony almost all the time - the question is if i take myself down to A&E will someone actually deal (cause it's not really an emergency) with me and try to find out what's going on? or does anyone know what might be wrong with me? what should i do?
