My stepbrother is horrible(but my stepmom constantly says "oh thats his personality type and he will be SOO succesful in life because everything is all about him" *snore*, and sometimes i feel like my parents ask me to do things because they know he won't do them. So I'm cleaning the kitchen twice a day picking up after people and you know i partially understand because my step mom is stressed out with her new job and everything. But it's summer and i really needed this summer to relax and wind down. Is it selfish for me to think that my relaxation takes precedence over doing my brothers chores so my step mom doesn't have to deal with him?

She's already had it for about a week with no signs of it easing up. Also, it doesn't itch.

I JUST finished my period yesterday. I woke up this morning, and realized I had forgotten to take my active pill last night, and I started to bleed all over again. I was wondering how long it will last. It cant last very long since I just finished my period, correct?

I live in the UK and am currently on holiday (!) in Spain with my parents where they live. It's miraculous that i even made it here since i'm depressed and suffer various anxiety disorders incl PTSD! The airport was a MAJOR trauma, i ended up curled up in a ball in a quiet corner crying my eyes out. My parents TRY to understand, but are constantly on my back about not wanting to go out. I wouldn't have come in the first place if it wasn't for my 4 yr old anyway! They try the guilt trip saying i've gotta do something with my son while i'm here. To be fair they are taking him out and about, but not without a grumble, and they do have a point, but they make me so much worse! I've tried explaining to them but they CAN'T understand, that's not their fault but.....GRRRRR....it makes me angry and it's driving me more nuts than i already am. ADVICE PLEASE!!!!

I've started running outdoors, but I want to get a bit more muscle, not bulk, just not fat. I got a membership to the community gym (it's the best I can do right now) but I've never been to the weight rooms.

Can anyone give me some advice? Should I just watch other people? Should I clean the machines before I use them? I just don't want to go in there and be the utter newbie.

I woke up this morning after my period ended yesterday, and I realized that I had forgotten to take the pill last night. I'm not sexually active, so this has nothing to do with that. I just wanted to know how long this breakthrough bleeding will last? I just finished a really long period of around 10 days, and I started bleeding again this morning, and I'm pretty certain it's because I missed a pill. Any ball park figures for how long it might last? A few hours? A few days? Weeks?

I am 15 years, 6 feet tall. I did notice variations in growth of my height in a month over a year. Usually when I am engaged in basketball activity and eat a lot my height increases much more than when I just sit home(like exmination time). I am basketball player and play a lot during vacations and notice increase in height than busy school days.
I am already the tallest in my family(dad-5'8", mom5'2") and amongst my relatives.

I have astigmatism, and the doctor tried to fit me for astigmatism lenses, but none of them fit properly, so now I'm just wearing regular Acuvue contacts. I can still see, but it's not as clear as it should be, but oh well, I'll live. Now, I', getting new sunglasses (that I'll wear on top of my contacts). Is it possible to get non-prescription sunglasses for astigmatism?

Reposting because I said hcg instead of prolactin :) Sorry!

First off, I am not pregnant - had 2 blood tests both negative (and a large # of HPTs ALL negative :) ). So I know that's not the issue. But I went for 2 prolactin tests because I had some discharge from my breasts, which was very unusual. I am on the pill, and my gyno is thinking that's what it is causing this - been on the pill for about 7 years (apri/desogen). The first test for prolactin showed an "elevated" level of 36.8. The gyno sent me for another just to see if it was higher (or lower) since she said that the levels can be different throughout the day depending on certain things. I'm waiting on the 2nd results today, and the gyno said if it's close to 50 or higher at this time, then they'll do an MRI to check my pituitary gland. The thing is this has never happened before, and I was just curious to hear other experiences with this. Thanks in advance!

One of my testacles seem to be larger then the other.. so it is lopsided. Is that dangerous? It's been like this for a very long time. Nothing bad happened but now I'm just curious..

I have recently been put on Social Security Disability because of all the pain . My doctors keep giving me different diagnoses. It is hugely affecting me spine and my feet burn like I have been walking on hot charcoals all night. I am so stiff, can't get out of bed with out my pain medication. I have been diagnosed with everything from degenerative spine to arthritic spine to fibromyalgia. It is affecting my entire body, my hands, my legs, my back is killing me. Do you have anything like this and what is it? Do you have any recommendations on how to loosen my spine and relieve the pain? Does Castor Oil help? If you suffer from any thing like this please advise me. Thank You.
