way it felt. It was a solid/liquid. That was a long time ago. Now I know it can be dangerous. Could that be related to my poor health today? Why is it considered dangerous? Is it dangerous if you played with it or only if you drank it?

Is it because many women take anti psychotics and anti depressants while pregnant and this affects the baby's development.?

Okay so in March of 2007 I got into a car accident i didnt get hurt, but i haven't gotten my period since, i thought that it could be stress, but that was 5 months ago!!! I'm 16, i got my period when i was 10 and its been regular until now. I'm a virgin so i KNOW for a fact that i'm not pregnant. I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else and some advice on what to do other than talk to my doctor. Thanks

For the past 6 or so months I've had terrible headaches, including times when I break down crying in front of anyone because of the pain. It's gotten to where if I have a headache, no matter the cause, I cant stand bright lights and if I see even the sun it kills me. Mostly the pain is in my forehead, top of the back of my head, and around my neck area. It gets very hard sometimes to cope with these headaches because they've been going on for not too long, and I'm not used to much pain at all. I've even gotten to where I wont go out with friends sometimes because I dont want to risk getting a headache and having to leave in the middle of everything. I've always had throat problems (sore throat, strep, sinus, ect) but it's only been recently that I've had these headache problems. I've tried all kinds of medicine, painkillers and whatnot, but none seem to work longer than 30 minutes. Is it possible I have chronic daily headaches, or is it something else?

Thanks so much for the help.:)

I have been issued a 24 hr abp device on me. It takes a reading every 1/2 hour. But before the reading I feel tense and nervous and my bp goes up. But after the bp is taken I feel fine. What is wrong with me????

Okay, so a little over 3 weeks ago I was riding a mountain bike and took a fall. I stuck out both my hands to break my fall, and ended up spraining my left wrist and breaking my left elbow. At the time, the palm of my right hand was a little swollen and touch sensitive, but I had assumed it was just bruised and told the doctor I didn't think it needed an X-ray. I have broken several bones before and it wasn't nearly as painful. Well, 3 weeks later my palm is still just as sensitive, even though my broken elbow has healed almost completely (It was a pretty minor fracture). The area where it is sensitive is right at the base of my hand or the "heel" of my palm. Is it possible that I fractured a bone, or is it more likely just a deep bruise? If it was fractured, how do they treat it? (Please don't just say "Get an X-Ray." I am just asking this question because I don't want to waste my time going in to the doctor's office if it is just a minor thing) Thanks.

I had my period almost 2 weeks ago but it was a little long. I am on birth control so they are regular. latley ive been trying to get caught up with my work with my summer classes so ive latley been taking them irregular times sometimes not at all. I noticed when i peed that there was some brown goop on the toilet paper but havent noticed it on my underwear. Is this something I should be worried about? I had sex a couple days ago...a couple times with my boyfriend ..would it make a difference if the sex was a little rougher than normal? I'm worried about being pregnant or maybe a miscarage? I have had no pain what so ever in that region. should i worry?

I was after flourless bread at the shop but could only find gluten free bread that had corn flour. Is that basically flourless? Is gluten free therefore the same as flourless? If not, whats the difference?
Thanks

My nephew was shaken by his a**hole father at the age of 2 1/2. At the time we din't notice any permanent damage done but he is now 8 years old and he is showing symptoms of Bipolar disorder. I have read up on the topic and everywhere that I have read it states that it most likely caused by a certain gene and they think it can be passed down. No one in my family has bipolar disorder and I was wondering if the damage was caused by him being shaken?
