Health - 22 February 2007

I have been experiencing pain in my lower abdomen, and VERY heavy bleeding (mensus?) I usually only bleed for 3 days (since I was 15) I am only 35 and have had tubal done, no gall bladder or appendix, last month I bleed for 16 days, was off 1 week and now I am on day 8 of bleeding again. I will bleed "normal" for a bit then gush. There are blood clots involved. I have been to the hospital and tested neg. for cancer, endemetiosis, popped cysts, etopic pregnancy, etc. Went to OB-GYN and nothing. Just "we'll keep an eye on it" (Doctor language for I dont know??) Does any of the thousands of women out there have any idea on what could be going on? I have tried the doctors and tried searching the net with no luck. Please only serious answers.

I asked this question once before but really didn't get an answer that helped me. Can anyone cite an online reference for this? I read that there is a relationship between sugar and hormones and moods such as anger. Can you help?

My son in law and I were discussing this today. In my day, if a guy shaved anything but his face or head, he was ~weird~!!! He says it is common today for men to shave body hair. How many men out there do this?

My physical therapist says my back pain is due in part to different leg sizes. She says I should correct by permanently wearing a gel rise in shoe of shorter leg. Does this make any sense (diagnosis and remedy?) I have been alternatively diagnosed with pelvic imbalance and sciatica

Every day I have terrible gas. It's surprising if I goe 2 days in a row without smelling terrible. It always smells like eggs or sulfer, sometime even ammonia. My girlfriend is getting sick of it, and truthfully so am I. What can I do to get rid of this problem? Is there pills or should I get my colon cleaned? What can I possibly do to stop having gas my whole life?

I really want to eat healthier, but I'm always on the go, which makes fast food so tempting. Any suggestions on what I might try?

okay, I have a really bad jaw problem.. called TMJ...TMG??.. o god. can't remember.
anywho, the other night i was having a really shewy meal with my family and i think it got a little messed up. the left side of my mouth felt swolen, and out of place (the jaw)
when i looked into my mouth more thourougly, i could see that one of my back back teeth where the swellin seemed to be was missing
i looked at the other side to see if the other tooth was still there and it was.
It might just bee so swolen that it covered the tooth but i'm not sure. The tooth was just about 3/4 finished coming in, whiel the other already did. I'm not sure if I should be freaking out or be calm about this.
Does this happen often?..., what should I do about it? Do you know what might be going on?

First, i already know just "dont have sex", but that is not the answer that i am looking for. I am human, and sex is as natural as anything else. Second, I already heard of a book about "how you plan your fertitlity", I am also not interested in that. I'm simply just wondering what "your" pill of choice is and one that has not made you experience up and downs emotionally, and no sex drive. I have taken the patch which i absolutely loved, until about every tuesday after i had applied the patch, i would have horrible attacks,such as: vomitting,nausea,hot flash,red, and this all would last for about 10 mins then i would be fine. I have also taken Yasmin, which i was on it for a year. I lost my sex drive, and i became a moody *****, to put into better words. So help me out, and give me some good answers. thanks!

I am nearly 30 years old and did not have any problems with pimples until about 4 years ago. I only get them(4 or 5 pimples) once a month during my cycle. But they are usually large pimples that do not have a white head, so they are kind of like under the skin. The problem is, it sometimes takes 2 weeks for them to GO AWAY! I have tried everything,over the counter, crap my doctor gave me, home remedies, nothing helps. Or the ones that seem to be working, I have to stop using because it makes my skin worse. I am a fanatic about washing my face and using lotions, so not sure if that might be a cause for the break outs as well. Anyway, is there anything out there that has helped "you"? I am ready for any advice or suggestions on this as long as they are serious ones. Thanks
