Health - 8 April 2007

My periods are getting closer and closer together, heavier and heavier flow, and lasting longer and longer each time.
My ovaries are very sore, very swollen, and I can even feel them move sometimes. It hurts!
Birth control won't even stop my periods.

What could be the possible problems?

I've had two babies and am married.

My grandmother has severe arthritis in her left hand and is unable to go on certain medication because of blood pressure and other complications. I have found massaging her hands really helps her, but does anyone else have any home remedies that might help? I am going to put a deep heat cream with a glove on her before she goes to bed.

when he was about 8 yrs. old he use to wake up screaming in pain. My doctor said it was "growing pains." Now at 24 yrs.old he said he has the same type of pain but behind his knee. He can barely talk it is so painful. I thought he might be thinking back to when he was young and had growing pains and since it was so painful to him then, he now thinks the pain is very similar to when he was young. Does anyone think there is any relation, is it in his mind, is it real? Help.

Im going to the doctor this Friday, I have a trail of blisters developing from the spine on the back of my neck all around the right side of my torso. Feels like a sunburn. My dad says that it looks like shingles but it's rare in younger people...usually middle aged and up are supposed to get them.... I am 22 years old.

Also I live in the house that my dad used to live in and when he lived here that's when he got shingles...so is it contagious? Or maybe a virus in my home that is causing this outbreak?

After all, my breath is right under my nose. But no matter how bad I think my breath might be, I can never find a way to check it out. I've tried breathing into my cupped hand, and even breathing onto my sweater and sniffing it, but I can never really tell, so I just make sure I always have gum or a mint in my mouth.

Hi. I guess this is something only a doctor can tell me. I've been on Prozac for years and years. About a week and a half ago I stopped. I'm still very uncertain whether I can live without it. I do feel less tired but notice my "obsessive thinking" is coming back slightly.

Can I live my life without Prozac?
How long do you think I need to give the non-medicated life a try before deciding?

I'm going to Mexico for vacation and I'd personally rather not have my period. I get it the last week of every month. If I started taking birth control 2 weeks ahead would that mess up my menstrual cycle?

I hearred somewhere that scientists believe that a human could survive on nothing but bananas and water.

Is this true?

Wouldnt' they die from a vitamin defficiency? or do bananas have the majority of the vitamins we need?

Could this possibly work as a diet to help you loose weight? Surely it has to be better than half the fad diest out there.

Any info greatly appreciated as always

I have endometriosis (basicially causes a cyst to grow on my uterus, among other problems) and I was due for my cycle Sept 02, 2006 and never had one since. I am horrified of the gyno & it makes my life a little less painful without the period (endometriosis hurts worse while cycling), but I know this can't be good. I think Im feeling the side effects of this now, always tired, sleeping alot longer, drained, and get wore out easily now. I CANT DO ANYTHING ANYMORE! It sucks, but Ive been violated 2 times from different gyno's. SCARED please help??What could cause this and what are problems I could be facing?

I've got horrible lower back pains, and don't even get me started on the back of my lower neck/shoulders! What can I do to prevent this from happening every day? Chiropractors are out of my price range, I'm sure. I try to abstain from slouching as much as possible, but even sitting quite upright hurts.
