Health - 14 June 2007

Hi everyone

While I was on vacation, I was due to get my period (nearing the end of my contraceptive pills for the month), but instead of going on the 7 day break (or placebo pills), I bought a new pack and just kept going to hold off my period.

I'm someone who has a very heavy period, and I'm afraid of how it's going to be at the end of this month now that I've missed one.

Also, I just got a new prescription to take these pills, though I've been taking the pill for a couple of years already. So I've never experienced what the side effects of this pill might be during my period (sometimes I feel nauseous, get cramps, get a sensation in my legs..).

Basically, I'm just afraid that my period, and the side effects might be two times as intense since I skipped my last one.

What do you say? And have you done this before to miss a period? Are there any risks?

Thank you so much!!

I've heard that I could possibly be doing more harm than good by using hand sanitizer but in my office we are constantly passing around any little thing that comes along. I'm looking for a little extra help to stay healthy.

I like to daydream about being the survivor of an apocalypse - increasing my motivation for exercising in the first place, since I will want to be in great shape in the event of a disaster. What do other people think about?

My friend suffers excruciating pain during some months she gets her period. Some months are better than others. For those bad months, she can hardly walk and is practically bedridden. A few months ago we had to take her to the hospital because the pain was unbearable for her. She got really sick and was vomiting every time she ate.

The doctors cannot seem to diagnose the problem. This has been happpening for about 2 years now and we still don't know what the cause is.

Have any of you ladies experienced similar problems and if so, what did you do to correct it.

Will my toes become dead and have to get amputated? Can you damage nerves with high heels?Two of my toes on one of my feet is numb- I can feel pressure and pain on it, but it is numb kinda like coming off novicane (sp?)... I noticed it when I came home from a night out in high heels and my feet were killing me- could my high heels have damaged a nerve? Will it heal? Help please! Note: I very rarely wear high heels.

Preferably one on BCBS Health Options and taking new patients. Also prefer a doc who considers 'alternative' practices as a possible supplement to standard treatment.
I vaguely remember hearing about a national website where patients could review doctors, but it didn't have a memorable name and I can't find it now.
