I have read the the average age of the start of menstruation has dropped any where from 2 - 4 years in the western world in the last decade or so.

What is causing this and what will be the long term consequences for this generation of women?

I have it quite bad on my cheeks and forehead. Because, I think I have been on the pill since I was 13. Does anyone else have it? How do you feel about it, and have you found any successful ways to treat it please?

I feel so weird saying this, but..

I'm a "late bloomer" -- I haven't add my first period yet. Today, I felt something really sick down there, and when I checked, I saw some discharge. However, the unders I was wearing were brown and pink, so I couldn't really identify the color. It looked clear and kind of thick, but I can't be sure. What does this mean? Is it even discharge?

In January my foot started hurting pretty bad. I was limping and everything. I went to the Doctor and they sent me for an x-ray and it showed nothing. So they sent me to Podiatrist. He sent me for an x-ray and nothing showed. He sent me for another x-ray and nothing showed. Well then he sent me for an MRI and it showed a stress fracture on the 2nd metatarsal.

All of this happened from February through April. I forgot to mention though that about 3 weeks after it started hurting so much I noticed a red sore appeared on the top of my foot, right above where it was hurting. It scabbed over and the scab fell off about a week later (this is like beg-mid february) well I can still see where the sore was. Also, the pain went down by quite a bit. I could walk without limping but it still hurt to move my toes. I told the Podiatrist and he said that was a little unusual but that it was probably just a blood clot the burst and came to the top.

Well when the MRI showed a stress fracture he put me in an Air Boot and now I have been in it for 4 weeks. Also, the other day I had another one of those red sores appear. I go back to the doc on tuesday.

Is a stress fracture supposed to take this long to heal? Do you think the doctor is doing the right thing?

All this time it has been swollen too. I am starting to get a little worried that it is taking too long. Thanks for any advise or help you can give me.

I've recently had my blood pressure taken and every time i do it's been high - this time it was 169/90 - how bad is this?

i'm 17 and haven't ever been particularly poorly or had problems.

I get nervous when I have tests and my heart rate was over 120bpm. the doc said that this was because i was nervous but even when I found my heartbeat before i was about to fall asleep (and at other random times of the day) it was racing or at least much much faster than what is normal.

my grandad is diabetic and has also had a heart attack and my grandma has said that she has high blood pressure (even though she is one of the healthiest fittest people i know!). the rest of my family are fine though.

what do you think? please help..not just saying 'go to the doctors' or 'read this' please

really need your help

Mostly I want to exercise just to become healthier/active, and to help with my depression. So I'm about to join a gym, and plan to go at least 5 days a week. But I'm scared! I suffer from:

1. being TOTALLY out of shape (I'm already very slim; I'm just completely inactive!)
2. breathing problems
3. motivational problems

Any advice/tips on what to expect, how to make it easier to start, and how to keep my motivation?

Thanks so much. :)

I recently had a root filling, about a month ago now, in one of my molars. It was fine the first few weeks, but now about 3 or 4 weeks later, it absolutely kills when i have hot drinks or food! I really awful throbbing sensation all up into my gum, which shouldnt really happen seen as though the roots for that tooth have been taken out. I have no idea what is happening with that tooth? Could anyone give me some sort of vague answer? Thanks.
