Health - 16 March 2007

I am 18. I am sexually active with my boyfriend only.

I was on the depo-provera shot starting when I was about 16 1/2 to about 5 months ago. Since then I have finally had regular and real periods. But my discharge has changed a lot. Which I am sure is normal that it would change.

I suspected that I had some kind of yeast infection, but was too nervous and busy to get it checked. I tried some home-remedy methods. I'm not sure if it worked, but also I was never sure to begin with if I had any type of infection. If I did then I'm about 98% sure I don't now. That all depends on if my discharge is normal.

Anyways, my discharge is thick, white, only mild odor, and there is always a lot. It also tastes sour which bothers me. Every now and then it comes out more white and kind of mucous like. There is nothing ichy or burning sensation.

My question is:
a) is this normal?
b) what foods can I eat to maybe make the sour taste go away?

If one smokes during a glucose test for diabetes how much will this affect the blood glucose results? Will the blood glucose levels be higher or lower than they should be because of the cigarette?
Thanks all who answer.

We have had cats for about 3 months now and my husband has never been allergic to them. However last weekend our female cat had Kittens and now all of a sudden my husband seems to be allergic to her. He is still fine with the male cat but can not sleep in our bedroom where the Kittens are. He can sleep on the sofa with out coughing at all and his congestion seems to clear up more when he is out of the house. Could he have developed an allergy to the female cat and kittens over night? If so why, why just the female, and what do I do? We do not want to get rid of our cats we love them.

Last month I spotted for 10 days, this month I was late, but started on the 16th with heavy cramping, but not much blood, by this evening the flow is heavier, but theres no clots, and its really pink. I took a hpt yesterday and it was negative. I dunno what to do. I have never been late before ( except when I was pregnant ) and this pink bleeding is freaking me out. Is that bad if its that color? Does anyone know what can make the blood a diffrent color like that? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah thats another question I'm asking myself right now. My life is just three words. Boring, depressing, and loney. And cause of this I've done very many bad things to myself. Such as smoking weed (just a side note I dont do anymore), drinking (when I'm depressed) and worst of all trying to end my own life. And whenever I see a path to recovery the road always leads to a dead end for me. Such as fellowship with god and professional help and even making new friends always leads to a dead end. And now I've been having all kinds of evil thoughts that I should do to myself like trying a hard drug for the first time or ending my life or just start stealing money to drink all the time but you know what I don't want to do that cause I think I have a soultion. maybe I should just get locked up. I was thinking in a nut house or jail. I know it would really suck to be in there but what other choice do I have? So my question is, is it a good idea for me to get locked up at age 19 for many years?

Hi I want to know if coconut oil helps against high blood pressure and breathing hard problems. My breathing is a bit hard and I read some articles which say that coconut oil helps to increase metabolism and relaxes breathing. Is this true? Is coconut oil good for people? will it aid me in breathing less deep and more relaxed?

I have been bleeding for about 15 days heavily. I am going to the doctor soon, and I know I can take birth control for a little bit to stop the bleeding. The problem is the birth control pills expired in January of this year. Can I still take them? I don't need them to prevent pregnancy, just to stop this heavy blood flow. Please help!!!! Anything you know would be helpful!!!!

hi,
im 16 and I'm always afraid of death. I have a friend from the internet who is used to get connected everyday but lately in the last 3 days he did not and that's not one of his habits.So I started to worry too much and I directly thought that he died. I could picture him dead in a car accident , a heart attack and that was really awful.Yesterday I couldn't sleep cuz of thinking about what happened to him , my heart was pounding, felt like vomiting and I got a shortness of breath.I directly jump to the worst that can happen.
do I have anxiety disorder and how can I stop those negative thoughts?

If you were going for major surgery in about a week and a half, and they were removing a tumor, part of the sternum (breast bone), ribs, pericardium (sac around the heart) and breast tissue, what would your thoughts be? and what would you be focusing on?

My friend is about 5'3 and 140 pounds. She is kinda skinny. She has very little fat on her stomach and she has thick thighs. She looks really good. She thinks she's fat so she refuses to eat. If she does eat, she throws it back up. I'm really worried about her. All of her other friends are worried too. What should I do???

i've got a lot of small volcano shaped acne (they're little bumps with a huge hole in the middle) all over my face and they bother me so much.

I tend to squeeze them and everytime I do, these oily/hardish/round/(booger like) things come up (they're not the liquidy pus like substance when u just pop a big pimple)

I'm just wondering, what are these things? Is it a good idea to squeeze them out or just let it be? Currently I'm using various skin products for my acne. Are the products causing these things? Is it possible to get rid of these volcano acne? I heard they are considered scars, is this true?

I don't eat much fruit. I can eat any melon by itself without a problem. But apples and bananas; It tastes ok to me but I want to make it apart of my daily diet andeating them alone I just cant. Would it be ok if I mixed a banana in the blender with a bit of chocolate syrup to make a banana-chocolate smoothie? And dipped apples in peanut butter? Or would I be better off just seldomly eating these rather than mix it up like that? I know the peanut butter isnt so bad but I know the chocolate syrup is and I know bananas are great for you.

So my basic question is, will the pros of having the banana each day outweight the cons of havig a bit of choc. syrup with it? and the same with the apple and peanut butter.
