My senior prom is next Saturday, and it just happens to be the first day of my period. I get horrible cramps that Midol and Ibuprofen sometimes don't even help, (and I'm not wanting to be in pain all day and night) so I'm wondering if it's possible to skip the "period pills" at the end of the packet and just start a new pack on the day my period is supposed to start. I use Estrostep, and I know many women do it, but is it safe and does it make it any less effective?

So antidepressants are suppose to help you "cope" with your feelings. But isn't that denying what you are truly feeling? A lot of people (or it might just be a thing where I live) have been taught growing up that they should share their feelings, and not keep them inside. But how are you suppose to share your feelings when they are being changed - modified - by your medications?

Hello! Im 21/f and I noticed I have had a lazy eye for the past month and a half. I never had this as a kid. Its not very noticeable, but one eye is not moving as fast as the other. What is the cause of this? I have had headaches recently, could this be from it? Should I not even worry about it, seemingly since its not that noticeable?

The symptoms include chronic dry cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, sesceptability to respiratory disease, chronic low grade fever, and most recently, a possible granuloma above the shin and a rash on the backs of the knees. The "patient" also has anemia, which may contribute to the fatigue and shortness of breath, but her mother was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis.

Ok I am probably going to get a lot of mean feedback from people....but I would appreciate your honest opinions without being rude.

I have been thinking about getting implants for some time because I dont have that big of a chest, and I have a low self esteem because of it. I want to get a large B cup, because anything bigger would look bad on my thin frame. What are your opinions?

This is a little embarrassing but I have problems ejaculating too soon! How soon, you ask? Well, sometimes immediately after the start of intercourse!

I thought it was due to be nervous or over-anxious but now I’m convinced that it’s a medical issue. What the heck is goin on? I thought this happened to older guys. I’m only 27! I guess I’m just niave. I’ve considered going to the doctor but I feel humiliated!

Any advice? This is really putting a damper on my love life!

Well I think it's anxiety I got, I'm afraid my heart is going to stop for no reason even though it is perfectly fine. Then I start getting crazy thoughts and thinking about what happens after you die. Should I see a conselor? I've already been to a doctor.

When I was like 16, I was bulimic and I suffered with it for 12 years, two years ago I got over it, though it was terribly hard, but now I feel it creeping back and I'm worried. Some people will say to just get over it but it's not that easy. What can I do to pass this hard time? I started to feel this way when I started having a real hard time trying to lose weight, I am definitely older than I was back then and it's harder to lose the weight, plus I've had three kids and that for me atleast has made losing weight a bit harder. Please be nice It was unbelievably hard to even be writing this where people will read it, it's personal stuff. Thanks in advance for any words....

I recently stopped taking Lexapro and now I think im getting depressed. I think part of it is depression and the other part is that I am just not happy with my life. I work a minimun wage job and cant stand it. Yet, im 20, and I work with 35-45 year olds who earn the same wage as me and I just wanna like give them my money because I know they have it harder than me, with most of them having families and kids I suppose. I seriously wanna like cry over this. I not only feel this towards co-worker but anyone who is struggling in life, or has other problems. Anyway, taking lexapro kinda put all these feelings on the back burner and I didnt feel any emotion at all. I didnt like that. Some of this is probably depression but, I think alot of it is reality. What to do?
