Health - 10 March 2007

I was recently diagnosed with diabetes I am a 25 year old female who is significantly overweight. I take Metformin and Glyburide and sometimes insulin shots. (They are going back and forth between Type 1 and 2 they are uncertain still of what I am because my weight leans to 2 but my age somehow makes them think 1.) I went DKA 2 months ago since then I have lost more than 50 pounds and I am trying to save myself from the terrible problems that arise with having the disease. (blindness, kidney failure etc.) My grandmother recently told me a friend of her's who has diabetes is taking mangosteen juice and is having great results , Anyone ever tried it ? Or heard anything about it ? I have looked it up but all I am really getting is that it is being studied and there are nothing yet out about its benefits other than testimonials.

I have been working out for a little over a year now. I started out doing light weight and high reps then everything I read said to do heavy weights and lower reps and not to fear bulking up like a man. So, I went to the heaviest weight that I can do to failure 3 sets of 10 reps each, squats, lunges, curls, rows, tricep extensions, deadlifts, alternating muscle groups. I was comfortably wearing a size 0 or 1 jeans and now they are getting tight and I am noticing my thighs getting pretty big and I am losing my curve in my waistline. I eat 5 small meals per day and keep a pretty clean diet, fruit, grilled chicken, peanut butter. What should I do to stay toned at a size 0 or 1 without looking bulky? Could a seasoned lifter or trainer suggest the best routine for me?

I haven't had my period since last June. I'm fifteen and used to weigh 98 pounds, but then I lost weight to get down to 80.2 pounds. Now I'm around 87 or 88 pounds. But I still haven't had my period...could missing it for so long cause me to become sterile? I'm kind of worried. i've already seen a doctor and they told me to gain my weight back anywhere from 95-100, so that's why I'm trying to eat a bit more.

I went on birth control for the first time July with depo. It totally scewed me up. Long, nasty periods but always a month apart while it was active.

I was due for my second in October, but I hated it and let it expire.

I continously bled for the most part all the way up until a few weeks ago!

The last month I've gotten a couple days of bleeding every couple weeks, and the last time was last week and it was just spotting and I don't know if it's gonna happen again or if it's leaving my system.

I have spoken to my DR, she said its the side effects of depo and she says the pill will get me back on track, but I had to work and didn't have time to discuss the starting details with her.

*Do you just start or is it like at the begining or end of your period?

(The last date I can say for sure my period started was July 24, 2006).

*It takes a full cycle to get it into full effect?

*Does the pill have the same side effects, like bleeding all the time?

Thanks much!

The reason I ask is because I am a virgin and I am scared that I may have damaged my clitoris by masturbating (ie: rubbing on things). The sensation isn't as good as it used to be and it just looks like maybe I rubbed some of it off if that's even possible. Also the skin to the left of my clitoris has folded out, and I want to know if masturbating could be the cause of this.

I woke up one morning with no hearing in one ear. Then the hearing came back slightly and now it hurts. The hearing loss is still significant. When I put my hand over the ear it echos. Could it be wax buildup? It is sore inside.
