Health - 17 April 2007

In light of the Virginia Tech event and many of the horrific events that have happened in the past, why is the perpetrator most commonly a man? As a woman, I wonder if there are deeper issues that men deal with that women can't even imagine or what? I KNOW that all men are not prone to such violent acts, but it just seems so uncanny how so many men seem to go over the edge and snap in such violent ways. Any insights?

on saturday night (march 31st) our condom broke, (april 2nd) i took plan b.

the following saturday (april 7th) i started what seemed like my period. saturday(april 7th) and sunday(april 8th) i had a light period. about half a tampon full after 12 hours. (sorry for tmi...) then every day after that its just been much less than a period in full swing but still small amounts of red and tissue blobs also... is this my period? it stopped in the afternoon on thursday (april 12th)

its about a week early if it is. but its a hell of a lot more than implantation bleeding from what i've read. i read that its spotting and should be dark pink to brown for no more than 3 days.. early period? or just irregular bleeding from plan b?

am i safe? or do i sound pregnant-ish?

I got my first period when I was 12 and Im turning 20 this year and Ive probably had 10-12 periods in the past 8 years. I had to go on the pill but Im just one of those mindless people and I always forget and I dont bother. When I was younger I considered it an inconvenience and I didnt even bother taking the pills. My mom is very worried. I didnt see a gyno. However I talked to my doc who said its no big deal and that as long as I take the pill and get my period 3 times an year im good. But, the thing is I can go on forever without my period if I dont take the BC pill. Also, when I take 1 or 2 of them and then stop a week afterwards I get my period. What does that mean? Do I need that extra boost of estrogen to ovulate or something? I dont know whats wrong? I dont think I have PCOS. No one else in my family (including aunts and cousins on my maternal and paternal side) have it. id greatly appreciate it if someone could advice me on this.

It saids that i have to take a scoop of it with cold water. Can i take it with milk or does cold water work better? Also it says that i have to take 8 oz of it, but 8oz doesn't seem like enough. If i plan on taking it like 3 times a day, is 8 oz ok? And is one scoop ok?

I have a fixed dental bridge since 1988....every dentist said that the dentist who made the bridge did a great job on it, and that my teeth and gums are in good shape. I read in sources that a fixed bridge can last 7 to 10 years, but I have it a lot longer than that....so should it last my whole life (I'm 37 now) or should I expect it to come out one day and then have it replaced?

Ok, I have asthma and every time I'm around cigarrete smoke my throat closes up and I can;t breath. Well I just recently found out that my friend has taken up smoking. She's an aspiring model and is really stressed with modeling classes and school. She said that whenever she smoked it calmed her down and she had no worries. Well I don't want her to get cancer like many of my other family members. How do I convince her to stop so that every time I hug her I don't choke and so she doesn't hurt herself?

I know a lot about circumvallate papillae, mine happen to be enlarged. What I want to know, is can I do anything to reduce them? They're causing a "dry" feeling in my throat, which is pretty annoying... Thanks!

It can happen several times a day sometimes and other days it does not happen at all. I panic and think it might be small heart attacks I am having and wait for a big one to hit. Then it passes and I am fine again. I dont feel unwell or anything but just wondered if anyone else has had this same problem and if so what it is or at least have an idea what it could be.
