Health - 17 February 2007

I have had an operation done about 4months ago, i would like to know is there anything that will help reduce or hide the scar. it was a thyroid operation which means i have been left with a scar approx about your voice box.
i am still a teenager and this is a nightmare for me as i have become very self aware.
i do cover it up when i go to work i work in a busy place, hundreds of people, i feel very un-ease walking into a room full of strangers with my scar/neck on show.
any advice on reducing or hiding scaring?
Thanks

I had the stomach flu about 2-3 weeks ago. It was enough that I wasn't able to keep anything down for a week. That's bad for me because I'm on the Fentanyl patch. When you don't eat on this patch, it makes you sick - vomiting sick. So on top of vomiting from the stomach flu, because I had nothing in my stomach from that, I was vomiting because of the Fentanyl in my system and no food (I have severe chronic pain - opiods is the only medication I can take without becoming used to the meds in a week).

Now that I'm better, I still keep getting sick to my stomach, it starts early in the morning, and lasts all day. I've finished off a bottle of Emetrol now and had to borrow a friend’s bottle until my next appointment with my pain management doctor. The Fentanyl patch is 100 micrograms and if I attempt to eat anything I get extremely nauseous. More than I was without something in my stomach. I've not detoxed off any of my meds, not even a little bit. So why am I still getting sick?

How do dancers handle it when their bodies change? I mean with wearing leotards and having periods and not being able to wear underpants with your leotard? What about the pubic hair, how do you keep it from showing when you wear a leotard? And what about your breasts, you can't wear bras under leotards either? Help, I'm confused and need to know what to expect.

I just got over some sort of stomach virus and although I rehydrated it took awhile for my urine to stop being fairly dark colored and my bowel movements are really pale. Is this a normal after effect? I've never had a stomach virus before.

I have PDD-NOS (autism) and want to know how to make friends.

I Know someone for example who want to make this world a "better place." -she helps me bacause of her ideals. Is she/ or will she become a friend?

Is is possible for me to make friends if others just have sympathy or interest in autism? Surley these contacts could never become a real freindship?

I'm seeing a doctor on Thursday, but in the meantime I'm trying to find something to ease the pain. This has been an off and on cycle for over a month now. Both sides of my nose will start peeling and flaking skin in ridiculous amounts. Then, after that goes, the areas become very red, dry, cracked. Everytime I smile or pull my upper lip down, I can feel the area around my nose stretch and sting. It hurts worse after showers or after putting lotion on (fragrance free). I can't even wear make-up to cover it up now because it makes it worse.

Today after I got out of the shower I noticed that a small spot on it was bleeding but when I tried to wipe it nothing came off, so it's bleeding under the skin? Very tiny amount though.

Does anyone know anything I can put on it to ease the pain and dryness until the doctor? I've tried moisturizers, plain soap, stopped wearing perfume and make-up, all to no avail. :(
