Health - 9 April 2007

I was missing my periods all of the time. I had gained a whole bunch of weight. I was an -ovulatory cycling where I would start bleeding and never stop for days on end until I got some progesterone to get me to bleed then stop.
They did an ultrasound and told me I had a very thick endometrium, and did a biopsy and told me my endometrium was hyer-proliferative.
Now for the last 2 years, my periods come like clock work. I never miss one. I am 42 yrs old and maybe worried about becoming pregnant. Does polycystic ovaries just quit being polycystic? They did an ultrasound and told me they did not see any cyst on my ovaries. I am sexually active and have not used birth control for about the last 10 yrs because I thought there was no chance of conception. Now I am thinking maybe I should get on birth control.
What do you think?

I have a minor bout with ginigivitis and I am scheduled to have my wisdom teeth removed this Friday. The dental assistant said I was good to go for the surgery.

I have had gingivitis for the past several months and went through four treatments including a debridement. I've used prescription mouthwash but recently ran out of it (my gums started to get a little red after that but I bought some regular mouthwash today).

I've brushed and flossed and mouthwashed religiously twice a day almost all the time. My gums look a little better (a lot better than several months ago). Should I go ahead with the surgery or should I call the surgeon and talk to him about it first? I specifically requested this time off from work and I don't want to have to cancel the appointment and re-schedule again.

I am going to drop off my prescriptions for Vicodin, a mouth rinse, and amoxicillin this week.

My vagina's lips are so stretched out that they hang down about an inch like small testes. They are also wrinkled and can be stretched down to probably about 4 inches. What's wrong and how can I fix it?

My wife has been off of birth control since December. We would like to conceive but simply haven't, and she has been late for two straight months now. She recently this past weekend has taken a pregnancy test but it said "NEGATIVE." Any idea what's going on? Does it HONESTLY take this long after she quit the BC to be late?

8yo seems to become overly stressed and frustrated with many things. She reats physically - wringing her hands, stretching her body (legs), and the odd time hitting her forehead. Docs have said she's fine - but I want to help her. The type of things she gets frustrated with are having to brush her teeth, do homework, make bed. Also she gets frustrated when children don't understand her ideas (she's very creative) or don't want to play along with her games. She also gets frustrated when she doens't understand a concept right away.

She's not into yoga but we do some stretching and we get LOTS of excersize (walking and biking). We have healthy diets and she gets enough sleep. OH and we don't have tv.

I suppose she could just have a personality traits that I don't relate to, but I need to know how to assess her level of frustration and determine if I need to demand external help.

Anyone know of a disorder (or has the same problem) related to: if it gets above 80-85 degrees outside (and I'm in the heat), my arms and legs get weak, I get dizziness and somewhat confused? I currently take beta-blockers for mitral valve prolapse.

My doctor has little to say about the sensitivity to heat. But it's a big drag.

I have pain medial to my right iliac bone in the lower pelvic area above my pubic bone almost 1/2 way. After my period ends, the pain goes away. Its like a menstural cramp in the right side. I cramped here really bad after the birth of my daughter. Could this be an adhesion or is this normal? Anyone else do this?

Ok. So I was wondering what would be the cause of a large labia majora? Like ok, the right "lip" of my vagina is like larger or stretched. Is that normal? It's also a darker color than the rest of my vagina. I would go to a doctor but I don't have medical at the moment and I hope nobody is offended by my question, I don't mean to be crude I just want to know if it's normal or not. Thank you for all help!

Not really sure what I'm asking here, but yeah, anyway. Basically, I've had a bad childhood with my bipolar abusive alcoholic dad which I still haven't gotten over. I self-injure, I have an eating disorder, I'm so incredibly depressed it's unreal, and I have suicidal thoughts (but I won't do anything - they're just thoughts).

Um, so I'll stop complaining now, but I really just feel like so out of it. I don't know what to do. I feel so horrible everyday. I still live with my mom and she knows all this, but she doesn't really care. I just don't know what to do.

What would you guys do in my position?

Here's my problem, When I was ten years old and I was back in my country my Dad always used to come drunk and hit my mom and my big bro. and sometime he even hit me with a hose or with whatever he could find (wires etc.) and I started hating him so much, until the day he got really sick and died, and I remember that when he was being lowering down to earth It was raining and everyone was crying but me, I remember that I laughed the hardest I could, I was so happy, but I still remember how I laughed! I can't forget.
Now at night I get nightmares of that day, is it bad? sometimes I can't sleep, Is it my mind feeling guilty, or redemption, Help what can I do??

When I lye flat on my back I get a severe spinning sensation which leads to nausea. I aso get a lightheadedness when bending over. On occassion when stading upright I feel a bit of heavyheadedness, but the main spinning comes from lying flat on my back. Symptoms have been around for about a week. My doctor prescribed a antihistime to prevent nausea. He did this without seeing me. Has anyone else expereinced this recently...could it be viral?

With all the pain mangements that are available, Why does a person that has all the documentation and MRI,s are put through the 3rd degree when trying to obtain a doctor that will be able to write the medications they need. When all some people have to do is claim they were hurt in a wreck or at work and they have no problem getting what they think they need?

....and I have a mild gingivitis thing going on in my mouth. According to the dental assistant, it isn't worth worrying about going into the surgery. Should I just go to my scheduled appointment and see what the surgeon thinks?

I have been given three prescriptions and one of them is for Amoxicillin (the other two are Vicodin and an oral rinse). I also brush, floss, and rinse with mouthwash twice daily though I missed my twice-daily rinse because I ran out of my regular prescription rinse.
