Feeding your child anything it likes and nothing it doesn't, Even if it means your child is skinny, weak and frail or overweight. Meaning your child doesnt eat many vegetables, or fruits, even a sandwich. Even to the point where the child doesnt like toothpaste so it doesnt have to brush its teeth only with water.

Hi guys,
hope you can help me out here. I started taking micronor, its a progesterone only (mini) pill, about a week and a half ago. I've had awful side affects, the feeling fluey subsided after a few days, but I've been seriously depressed with it - or at least i think i have (symptoms = not feeling anything, yet strangely this feels ****, feeling like nothing matters, not being able to concentrate on my work, loosing interest in sex, being able to lie doing and thinking nothing for hours etc) and ive also been getting really high temperatures about 2hours after i take it.
Anyway, i'm going to try and get a drs appointment for tomorrow, or if not tuesday. So should i take it till then i.e. only 1 or 2 days in order to continue my contraceptive cover if i get switched straight onto another pill. I think i can manage one more day of this hell, and i dont want to have it as bad as it was at first by stopping and starting again.
What do you think - anyone had a similar experience?

I am 23 years old and have never been to the dentist bc of the low income of my parents. Recently, I recieved a good job, with dental insurance. I also noticed discoloration of my molars and one tooth in general is putting me in a lot of pain.
My problem comes from the fear and embarassment I feel about going for the first time. Insurance only pays 50% for things such as filling, root canals, also. I am making myself sick over going. I feel like a total loser. Any advice that could make it seem better would be appreciated.

the doctor gave me drops to clear it up as well as drops that should ease the pain but they only seem to be making it worse

He already had seen a doctor and just started taking antibiotics. I just want to help him get well soon. Does acupuncture also help? How about lots of tea? or water? a good massage?

I self-injure quite often. (just an explanation, this isn't a mental health question; I'm asking for medical advice).
So, I just bled a lot and I feel slightly dizzy and very thirsty. Is there any reason to be extremely concerned about this? Should I just drink water and lay down somewhere?

A few weeks ago I was equally violent toward myself, and ended up feeling very dizzy, hysterical, and tired. I ended up more upset than I had been before hurting myself, and I wonder if that was from the blood loss...
Obviously, if someone isn't getting enough oxygen to their brain it could effect their emotions, right?

Well, other than the obvious (discontinuing cutting and/or calling a hospital), what should I do in situations like this? Like, I've lost just enough blood to feel it, and I'm a little shaky on my feet, but I've never passed out before.

Yes, I want to stop doing this. But, there are relapses. I just want to be prepared for them...

i have a big pimple on my face. or at least i thought it was a pimple. but instead of doing what a normal pimple does it filled up with blood. now it's been a few days and it's not getting any better. it doesn't seem to be doing anything. has anyone ever experienced this? i'm pregnant, so i think it's probably a hormonal thing, but if anyone has any suggestions on how to handle this i'd love to hear them. thanks.

I know running is the best cardio exercise to help lose fat, however it makes my calves a lot larger. And genetically my calves are big because my whole family all have short thick calves. And I know running is just going to make my problem worst! So what can I do? Any exercises or suggestions?

I suspect the varicocele has returned as from a few days ago my left scrotum feels like a bag of worms. Initially I had pain in the left side below the abdomen. That pain has been cured by the operation and a new pain is occuring in the groin region. What should I do?

One of my good guy friend of mine is extremely thin, he seldom ever eats and in the last year he's lost a lot of weight he's literally been reduced to skin and bones, he was of average weight before this not at all heavy. It's scary and I wanted to know might he be anorexic? And if so what should I do to help him?
