Health - 27 March 2007

I'm 13 years old, and about 5'7". I weigh about 118 pounds.
Is that fat?
People say I'm skinny, but I don't believe them.
I eat very healthy- mostly fruits and vegetables, and I don't eat very much either, probably from about 800 to 1000 calories every day.
How could I cut down on calories from what I'm already eating?
Am I fat?

I get the worst cramps each month... and I have since I started menstruating three years ago. I am tired of taking pain meds each month for three to four days that barely work and have to be retaken every few hours. I have birth control pills, but I do not take them because I really don't want to gain the weight. I am missing school because of these cramps, and they ruin my life once a month. Should I go ahead with the birth control? Or does anyone have any other suggestions for relieving the horrible pain? FYI- my cramps start in my lower abdomen, wrap around my back, and go down my legs.

I finished a 10-day course (1 pill, 4 times a day) of 300mg Penicillin V five days ago, and my digestive system still seems screwed up. Is this normal? If so, how long might my system be screwed up for? I normally don't have adverse reactions to antibiotics, but I just don't feel right yet.

I have seen a doctor about this, and he says there is nothing unusual (everything feels fine, and urinalysis came back clean).

I was tested in Oct. for aids and STD's and had a pap smear and all that. Everything was fine. My husband is in the military and is frequently tested. Today the nurse called me to come in and talk to the doctor about my abnormal pap results. That is all she said. When I called back she divulged that my pap results are pending it is actually to talk to my about testing positive for chlamydia!! I have not been unfaithful and I know my husband hasn't so please I am not wanting to hear that he gave it to me. Has anyone been positive, re-tested, and been ok? Could the results be wrong or mixed up with something else they haven't discovered???

What is the name of the test where they draw your blood and tell you what you can and can't eat for diet purposes.

Allopaths just blow you off and say live with it. Not sexy enough research I guess, but whoever invents the magic pill for this annoying disorder will be richer than Gates.

The other night I noticed that there's a really hard lump behind my left ear. It's so hard it feels like bone, and it's fixed in position. It doesn't hurt but it's a little sore now because I've been touching it so much.

I'm getting extremely worried because based on the stuff I looked up, this doesn't sound good. I tend to worry a lot about my health a lot though, and I don't want to look like a fool going to see the doctor for this if it's nothing.

I am currently on Loestrin 24 Fe. This is my second week on the pill. The past couple of days I've been spotting. Is this normal or something I should worry about? I take the pill at the same time every day and haven't missed any days. Thank you in advance!

Hi guys
I'm middle aged and have had 3 or 4 teeth removed in the past. My present dentist thinks that I need to have one of my wisdom teeth removed. The gum line has receded around it a litttle and it has been filled twice in the past, at present I am suffering with it being a little over sensitive but the tooth itself looks OK. I am very reluctant to have it removed but my dentist says it's my only option. He said he could replace it with tooth on a plate....but off course all this will cost me. My previous dentist said that taking teeth out should be a last resort once everything else has been tried.
I'd be very interested to hear other peoples opinions and experiences.

Kindest Regards

Andy

When I'm sick and running fever I tend to be more creative even though I feel bad. I'm wondering if there is a correlation.

I just felt my heart pounding really hard for about 3 minutes. It was when I was sitting down watching TV. Now I kinda feel this tightness in my chest. I'm kinda breathing differently because I found that to help a little. I'm 13 years old and pretty healthy. I'm a vegetarian, so maybe I'm not getting some nutrients? Is this something serious?
