how does that work? do you need some sort of doctors note to get out of class? or can you just stay in your dorm? or do you have to sleep somewhere else? what happens? are you able to make up tests you miss? what if you have like the flu and are sick for a week?!

I get this sticky, white substance along my gumline about 1/2 hour after I brush my teeth. I need to swab my mouth with a q-tip to remove it. Anyone know what this is??

I got a cavity filled today. I had two. One was larger and one was a little smaller. I got the larger one filled today (he numbed the area first) and I'm planning on going back pretty soon to get the second one filled. I'd never seen this dentist before, but he seemed pretty competent. After we got done he said that if I returned soon enough to get the second one done, we wouldn't have to numb the area first. Is this normal? Can someone please explain this to me?

Thanks in advance.

The girl I know is not even thirteen years old, and she has already repeatedly attempted to commit suicide. Her parents are aware of this, and they asked me what to do. I told them to send her to therapy, but I am unsure of what kind. I am thinking either a child psychologist or a psychotherapist would be most appropriate. Please let me know your thoughts on the issue.

Do you know how it makes you feel after the treatment is over? Do you develop neutropenia or drop in cell counts?

I've been getting these weird pain behind my knee. It's not too painful, but it's painful enough to slow me down when i'm running. It hurts especially when running and going up the stairs. I figured it would go away by itself sooner or later, but it didn't... it's been about 2 weeks now. It feels like something's poking me in the bone when i'm walking. It may be a bone pain, but who knows what it'll be.

I had silicone implants done years ago and although I've had no problem, I'd like to have a new set, larger implants done. My plastic sugeon said it's a bit more painful since there's scar tissue now surrounding the implants. That was a few years ago and now I'm seriously considering doing it. I'm out of work so this is a perfect time to recoup.

Has anyone had new implants put in and was size did you go from/to? I'm not a 38C but I feel that I can carry larger ones....and would like them. Please comment.......

I am 23 and in decent shape. When I go out and drink with friends it is not uncommon for me to drink 15-20 beers with anywhere from 5-10 shots of hard liquor. I don't smoke except when I drink and usually have no problem smoking a whole pack in one night if I'm drinking hard. As expected, I wake up the next day feeling like **** and usually either drink some more or tough it out for the day while trying to rehydrate.

I go out and drink like this once or twice a week.

My question is, how bad is this really for my health? I mean I'm not drinking or smoking every single day so it can't be that bad, right? I still work out 3-4 times a week.

Thanks

He was diagnosed just a month ago and has lost about 50 or more pounds. Can't keep anything down while taking chemo treatments. Remembered THC pills. I know I should'nt be asking this on here, but we really need help finding access to them. Without going to his doctor and asking, he feels like he would be considered a "dope addict". Does anyone understand, anyone been there? He's also having a very hard time dealing with it.

i have been checking my cervix for the past month now for ovulation ect.
i ovulated on or around the 14th of april my cervix felt weird at the time really soft with lots of egg white cm about 2 days after ovulation i noticed a definate decline in cervical mucus and my cervix had dropped and was hard to touch.
well just last night/this morning my cervix is again higher but a little softer with a little cervical mucus but more lotion like.
if i acheived pregnancy(does it sound like it) would my cervix be doing this? and this soon after ovulation?
another thing i notice that the opening of my cervix is and has been always a little open since checking not open as such but really prominent to feel is that because i have already had 2 vaginal births the last was 10 months ago?
any info would be great what should i expect next ect.
thanks all
