I have incredibly irregular periods. sometimes they come twice a month, sometimes they don't come at all one month. Sometimes they are 3 days long, sometimes they are 2 weeks. Problem is, I'm afraid that she will think i'm having sex. I'm not, and i'm not planning on it any time soon, but i'm still scared. What should I do?

I started taking evening primrose and multi-vitamins together for 1 week. And for whole of that week i felt giddy, and doc measured that i've got high blood. I stopped the supplements for 3 days and giddyness stopped. then when I took back both supplements again, and measured my blood pressure again, it was 155/90! then i stopped for 1 week and my blood pressure now hovers around 135/77 to 142/82. Any relations?

for instance, just now when I walked in the door, two of my cats came to great me, and a picture of me stomping on them popped into my head. Thoughts like that pop up a lot, but I never act on them (except for a few times very long ago that fortunately did not result in death, just a little loss of air--I guess you can say I suffocated the cat to get off and I'll never get over it, and I'll never forgive myself). I'm disgusted by them, and yet at the same time (sometimes) I'm turned on by them. I suppose it happens more when I'm distressed, but still. Does this happen to anyone else? Is this a dissorder?

I'm 15 years old and I started my period when I was 12. I now haven't had my period in 14 months. I already went to the Doctor and the Gynecologist in December and they said that I have low Estrogen levels (a healthy range is from 19-528, and I only have 14). The Gynecologist said that the only thing he could do to help would be to give me birth control pills, but he advised me to wait another year to see if it comes on its own. However, I don't think I can do that because the symptoms are driving me crazy. And now that this ONE doctor said to wait, my mom is being stubborn and won't get me help. Are there any ways to increase Estrogen naturally, or to persuade my mom into getting me some pills?

I stepped on something outside about 2 wks ago, and it hasn't hurt, just been irritating. It's on the outside of my foot where the skin is thick and I can't see. My husband can see a splinter or piece of wood but he can't tweeze it. I have three choices: Should I let it fester so it'll come to the top? Should I let my husband use a sterile needle to go fish for it? Or do I have to go see the dr:(?

i have a very deep second degree burn, my flesh is pink but no longer gushing blood. My doctor prescribed silver sulfiazine its been and told me to wash and rinse it everyday to pervent infection. But there is not even minimal progress. I read from a couple of sites that honey can help prevent bacteria and help heal wounds. Should i use the honey instead without risk of infection? Should i listen to my doctor? I know hes probably right but I am big on holistic cures, plus if you knew that a 4 dollar jar of honey would cure you. You wouldnt go out and buy that 30 dollar jar of meds. Than the drug companies wouldnt make any money.
