Ok, I was on birth control when I lived in Florida but I moved about a year ago and ran out of my pills about half way in the year. I don't have insurance but I want to get back on the pills ( I didn't try any of the other things). What should I do to get back on them. Is there any way to get it free? Or should I just see if I have any of my old empty packs and go to the health department and get a new prescription or if they can give me something cheaper?

Or if you have any other suggestions I'm open to it.

Well... I'm 22 and i'm married. My husband is paralyzed so we can't have sex. But here's the problem... My period is never ever late. It has come the same exact time every month since i was 15. I'm about a week late now. Thursday I felt bloated and felt like it was coming. I've stayed bloated and had a headache for 2 days but still no period. My husband and I have tried to have sex by him taking pills and what not but nothing works. so we've tried but it the medicine just doesn't make him erect. (trying not to go into too much detail here) so i'm pretty sure there's no way something escaped from him and went in me while we were trying to make it work. so what are other reasons i would be this late when i'm ALWAYS so regular. I haven't been stressed or anything. any suggestions?

Hello Ladies:

I was wondering if anyone else suffers from razor burn when they shave their legs with a disposable razor? I have tried EVERY disposable razor out on the market and even the ones that say that they are for sensitive skin,and everytime after I shave my legs,I get really bad razor burn,OWIE!! :-( I use warm water on my legs,lather up with shaving cream and I still get cuts on my leg even though I shave my legs as gently as possible!

The worst part is the razor burn on my legs because it hurts so bad,I can't even stand the sheets or blankets to touch my legs when I am ready to go to bed at night,OWIE!! :-( I have tried the special lotions that are made for women after they shave their legs and the lotions make my legs feel like they are burning even worse. I have tried waxing my legs too,and that hurt so bad,I thought I was going to die from the pain!! :-( Thank you for sharing any tips that you may have about dealing with razor burn when you shave your legs!! ;-)

Imagine a scary clown. Instead of being scared by the clown, say to it calmly, "If you come near me, I'll KILL you." Then imagine yourself beating the clown to death.

Do you think that's a good way of getting over your fear?

I just thought of this earlier at first after I finished watching a clip of something I've been scared of for YEARS. That was only a short clip, and not scary enough, but I think it works.

Imagining yourself as very powerful and stronger than your fear.

I have always wondered what people would like to see as far as topics on health related issues. What questions would you like to see asked and answered? Anything like skin health all the way to financial.

I have been on pain pills for about 2 yrs. I tried to go to rehab, but they told me that I was not a harm to my self so they could not keep me. I dont know if just laying around for about a week and take the pain is a good idea or not.

My friend's sister bought a pair of shoes that give your legs and butt a workout just by wearing them around the house. She said she only does it for an hour or so. I guess they are incredible. I can't find them anywhere and don't even know the name of them. My frined can't get ahold of her sister and i want to find them soon. Thanks

Every few days, I get this... "spiralling" numb pain on the left side of my back, just around my shoulder blade. It feels like someone is taking their hand and digging their fingernails into my back in a circular pattern, and it also feels like pins and needles.

Today, at work, it started doing that, and it started hurting a lot. Then, I started sweating and I felt really hot, and the pain got so bad that my vision started going a bit blurry and I couldn't focus on what I was doing. It started feeling like there was something wrapped around my body, pushing on my chest from all directions, and restricting my ability to breathe. I tried to ignore it and concentrate on what I was supposed to be doing, and it went away after about twenty minutes, although the pain in my back keeps coming back.

What is wrong with me?

I used to have to live on medications to get me through a day, but at that time I was also in a very physically and mentally abusive relationship. I have since left got my self off meds and met the best guy in the world who supports me in my depression battle. However, lately my new doctor gave me some new anti depressants and I told her I knew what worked and asked for scrips to tose drugs, she refused telling me to try hers first. They made my anxiety worse and I felt very tired all the time, and since I have a physical job I weaned my self off them. Now, I am slowing feeling myself get worse every day and my old doc can't see me for 2 weeks, how can I make it through without breaking down?
Also, why would my depression and anxiety be coming back when my life is so perfect? I have a new 3 month old baby, great daughter who helps alot, she is 12, and a wonderful loving husband? My life is completely opposite of what it was 7 years ago with the abuser. Any help would be great.
