Ok here's the deal. I had unprotected sex three months ago. The next day I got the morning after pill and took it as directed. I don't recall if I got the "period" that is expected after the pill. Soon after that I started on birth control and have been getting my period on a regular basis. What I am wondering is, am I just getting my period because the pill is forcing me to? Is there still a possiblity of being pregnant? I only ask because I've gained about 10lbs and have randomly vomited twice in the last two weeks. My weight has always been a steady 120 and I am almost never sick. As per other symtoms, I have been noticably tired and have had abdominal cramping. I took a home pregnancy test that came up negative but am still paranoid. I have also had a pap test since and they took urine. Would they have detected a pregnancy through that? Thanks

I have been diagnosed with IBS today, but I don't really know what it means! Of course I understand the medical side, but I don't really understand how it is going to affect my life if at all.

I have always been incredibly regular, but this changed after visiting Cambodia (3 months ago). My doctor has checked for parasites etc and has made the diagnosis of IBS. He thinks the travellers diahorea I experienced on holiday has brought to light my IBS. My boyfriend is really pleased that I don't have parasites. He said having parasites would be serious but that IBS isn't.

I am really confused though! I am currently living in Japan and have a doctor who doesn't know me.The information I have on the internet says I should change my diet. However, one website says eat insoluble fibre but another say eat soluble fibre! All I know is that I have lost weight, feel tired and am spotty.

I have found the IBS Network but instead of making me feel better I now want to cry!

Please help!

my parents are convinced that I'm starving myself.

this is totally NOT TRUE. I just have a fast metabolism. They think i'm bulemic because I took laxatives yesterday, but that was only because I had been constipated for 4 days and needed help. I don't use them regularly. Also, I'm a bit of a health nut and I won't eat things with more than 200 calories, and my parents think that I'm anorexic because of it. I also recently became a vegetarian. How do I convinve them that all my decisions and food-consciousness are because I want to stay healthy, and not because I have an eating disorder??

someone isnt happy with their life, theyre diagnosed with depression? its like the answer to everything! someone posts a question saying theyre not happy and the advice - go to the doctor, get some medicine. thats not going to help anyone. in fact it makes it worse. telling someone they need medicine to get better makes it sound like theyre sick. theyre not sick, theyre human.

I have been having a gnawing pain on and off for probaly 6 mths or so on the right side of my face only (ear, jaw, tooth)...I made a dentist appt and he said my right back wisdom tooth was abscessed and put me on antibiotics, but he didnt really give me much info on what a abscess was and from my research this is pretty dangerous...My tooth doesnt look black or decayed or anything, but I have noticed a pimple like bump right beside of that tooth...Can I just up and die from this or are there warning signs? Why does the pain come and go? I am really freaking out about this and I cant get into my dentist to get it pulled for 3 more weeks!! Will a extraction completley take care of it or what if it has already spread? Anyone had experiences with a abscess..if so I would love to hear your stories and how you handled it? Am I just being paranoid? Sorry I know this is alot of ?s....thanks for your time!

Does anyone have any reliable evidence that orange juice is mucus-producing?
My understanding is that orange juice is the best way to stave-off colds, flu, mouth ulcers, and promote general healing. But someone who limits it for themselves and their children, recently told me it's because they believe it is mucus-producing, i.e. like lactose.

My problems started about 2 months ago when i woke up and every joint in my body was swollen, from my feet all the way to my jaw. Went to the doc they said it was viral, gave me tamiflu sent me home. the swelling lasted about a week then went away but it seems like it all settled in my shoulders and shoulder blade area. I have never experienced this much pain in my shoulders before.I have never had any episode like this before, my joints other than my shoulders do not hurt at all. I have no rashes, no bumps anywhere. The doc's ran blood tests and told me I tested positive for rheumatoid factor. It seems to me they are guessing what is wrong with me because they keep putting me on different meds such as prednisone and etodolac along with vicodin for pain. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

I am a 16 year old boy, weight at only 35 kg. I took supplements but it doesn't do anything. My wrist is pretty small and my veins (Those green ones) are pretty visible, trying to build some flesh around that and my chest area which my bones is pretty visible. Now, here is my problem:

a) Am I having anorexic? I took toast, rice and potatoes almost everyday which is filled with carbohydrate, I took the most I could and yet I am not growing.

b) If I am not having anorexic, can I try body building? If yes, what is the weight (kg) do you recommend me to start with and how long and how often do have to do it. I am sick of being small.

Please help, teen problem.
