I had surgery about 3 months ago and since then I get this on again off again sharp breathing pain in my lower back. When it comes on it hurts really bad. I have been to 3 different doctors and had a chest x-ray and chest cat-scan done and they don't see anthing. They don't think anythings serious is going on that that it is related to the surgery. They just tell me to take Motrin to make it go away. The pain is not constant, but it has been happening for almost 3 months and when it happens, it hurts really bad. Does this sound familiar to anyone and if so what are your ideas?

a while ago, i did this screening thing online to see if i was depressed. it said according to what my answers were, i was depressed and it warned me to go to a doctor before i hurt myself. and i'm starting to think it might be right..i hate my life and i hate living, sometimes i just wish i would die..but at the same time, i dont think i'm depressed. sometimes im happy, i like my friends family (kinda) and boyfriend. but my friends seem to be getting farther and farther apart from me, as well my family and boyfriend. i love them all, but i'd be happier not living, you know what i mean? im not saying i'm going to kill myself, please dont take it the wrong way. the symptoms for stress and depression are kinda the same but i dont understand why i'd be depressed or stressed.
so what do you think? am i mistakin stress for depression?
what should i do?

this leads to bacteria that become resistent to antibiotics. lots of antibiotics now are not effective because of other peoples abuse of the drug. soon antibiotics wont work on us and we will end up going back to the days when antibiotics were not discovered and people died over the simplest diseases

ok basis of the story is that i have an eating disorder and I finally built up the strength to tell my mum about 6-8 months ago..her reaction was terrible...calling me a failure etc and she hasn't dealt with it too well since. I askedher not to tell the rest of the family. I begged her infact..and she said she wouldn't (we used to be very close)...today i opened my bedroom door and heard my mum talking to my dad about me, in a pretty nasty tone about my eating disorder and I am pretty sure she said something about my brother knowing....I feel/felt sooo betrayed, I don't think i can ever trust her again. She doesn't know I heard her and I don't want to confront her because then if my dad or brother know that I know about them, they may start questioning me and I'm not up for that!

I know many of you will reply or at least think that she was only worried about me but the way she talks about it, she doesn't understand and I tried so hard to talk to her about it when i first told her!

I feel inadequate about sex. I understand women like the ones that curve UP. It's been a concern of mine for ever and I know no woman would ever mention it. I'm afraid I won't hit the G-spot.

It's kind of embarrassing but how do you put in a tampon?
I mean, how do you unwrap it or whatever and put it in?
I really, really need to know and I need in-depth answers. I'm not looking for unnecessary detail, just a step-by-step process and what it's supposed to feel like.

I take allegra d, which works some of the time, but since I am so allergic to dust, sometimes my allergies are so out of control I cant stop sneezing.

Does anyone know of any stronger antihistamines?
I have tried zyrtec and claritan, and they both dont work at all for me.

ok, so just a month ago i was wearing a 34B bra size. It started to feel real uncomfortable during school, so i bought 34C cup bras.When i was wearing 34B bras my breasts were not spilling over the tops of the cups, it just felt really uncomfrotable. I measured myself and my breasts are about 37 inches and my band size is 30 inches which makes me a 34C. When i look at my breasts in the mirror they dont look like a C. They are not full but they do stick out. I read somewhere that girls with 34C cup sizes have breasts the size of grapefruits, and mine are definitly not that big. I am wearing 34C bras because they are comfortable but i know that when i look at my breasts in the mirror they do not look like they are that size. Do other girls/women feel that way? I am 16 and i got my period when i was 11. Could me breasts still grow?

I woke up this morning and I was hold candy in my left hand. I knew that I was not supposed to be holding it, and I crumbled it to see that it was real. It felt very real. But I do not recall holding candy before falling asleep.
3 minutes later, I though I woke up and there was no candy in my hands. But I thought that I could still feel the fragments of it in my bed.
I got up and looked for the fragments and there was no evidence of the candy.
But I woke in exactly the same position that I was in, in the so called dream, how did I know that I was in that position?
When I woke, there was no sleep inertia as if I had woke. Maybe I closed my eyes.

I got up and felt normal.

I know that I had toothache before going to sleep and pain has a funny effect on me.

If I drempt that I woke up, then why is it that I co-incidentally woke up 3 minutes later? This does not appear to be me still dreaming now?

Is this some kind of LSD trip?

A couple questions.
1. How much does it hurt?
2. How long does the pain last?
3. Are there any things that should be expected after the piercing? [ I know like a pimply thing but anything else?]
4. Does it hurt afterward? [description of pain]
5. If yes, for how long?
6. Any advice before I get it done?
Thank you.

today i had a day off of school, so i decided to go back to bed for about an hour, and woke up absolutely drenched in sweat and had to change my clothes and it was really disgusting. is this normal? what caused it?

im generally a healthy person, with anxiety and a bit of hypochondria. i was having a bad dream about someone glueing my eyes shut (weird i know) if that has anything to do with it.

i was on amoxicilin if that had anything to do with it.
orthostatic hypotension.
and my blood sugar is usually around 70 which i think is normal.

normally im FREEZING cold, and always shaking, and use many covers, sleeping bag, 2 comforters, and a fuzzy blanket. and NEVER sweat, still cold. so i dont know why i woke up extremely hot and drenched.
