I've recently started a new brand of birth control (i'm on the 2nd week of my 2nd pack.. I take Kariva) I'm sexually active and I haven't had a period yet. I did forget to take a pill in my first pack.. by a couple hours.. like 5 hours or something like that.. and I didn't use another form of protection that night. I never missed another pill in the first pack. I took a pregnancy test over the weekend and it came back negative.. but for the last 2 1/2 weeks or so my breasts have been extremely tender, I've had back pain, killer headaches, nausea and mood swings.. I don't know if its because of the pills, or if maybe I'm about to get my period. I don't know if I should wait it out another week or so and see if I get my period late or if I should try another pregnancy test. I know sometimes the tests aren't accurate.. This is my first experience of this sort and I don't really know what to do. Please help!!!

I'm staying with my cousins and taking care of them this week. Well one of the kids (he's 2) started running a low grade fever which continued on to the next day. Tues morning he had a rash all over his chest which continued to spread, they're little red bumbs. Today he still has a fever but last time I checked it was at 100.4 and today he also has a redish- purple bump on his eyelid and his eye is swollen. And where should I be taking his temp?

I was watching 20/20 on Friday and this one guy said on there that the secret to good abs is in the diet. http://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=3483082&page=1
He said to eat low fat, high protein, good carbs, good fats and fruits. he said eat 3 meals and 3 snacks a day. I'm going to try it but I'm at a standstill.
For starters I'm Asian so I always have one to two meals of white rice a day. No one in the family is willing to by brown rice or cook it. How much would eating that white rice affect the diet this person is suggesting?
Also because of my job it's difficult to find time to eat except for my lunch. Usually I only have 2 minutes to open my locker and grab something to eat. I've started to snack on mixed nuts but I know sooner or later I'm going to get bored of it. What else can I keep in my locker that fits this diet? It has to be able to survive in there for at least 2 weeks without refridgeration.

i feel so alone and miserable with my ED. I am seeing a counsellor weekly, just had my 1st session, and i just dont seem to be able to shake the feeling that maybe it wont work for me, maybe i dont even want it to work.
Half of me wants to recover, but the other half doesnt, and i dont know why.
people seem to assume that Eds are for teenagers, but i am a 27 year old woman, and have had my ED for nearly 13 years, on and off.
I just need to know if anyone else has had an ED and recovered? Is it possible?

I'll keep this as short as reasonably possible!

A few months ago I met a guy from Myspace. I'm 32. He is 28. We slept together the first night. He told me I was his first. He is anti-social, very shy, has never had a girlfriend and smokes a lot of pot. He also lives w/ his alcholic mother and has no dreams or ambitions. He also barricades himself into his room on the weekends and plays some online game called 2nd Life.
Anyway, about 3 weeks into our affair he told me that he had been talking to another girl in Virginia and he thought that maybe he had fallen in love with her. I won't get into it, but he seems to live in Fantasy land.
Anyway, on August 12th I decided to break it off with him. We exchanged nasty emails. On August 15th I was on Myspace and his headline read "Chris you crazy *****..haha amusingly crazy." I didn't respond. Why would he do that?
Then on Friday August 17th he sends me one email that says "hahaha"....this time I responded but he didn't respond back!

This saturday is my wedding shower, there is going to be about 40 people there, and i picked out this beautiful dress to wear, only problem is that it is a strapless dress and it makes me look fat (I have a little tissue in that part between your breast and your armpit) I've tried to find a shrug, but guess what, shrug season s over! Any suggestions as to how I could feel less self concious about it? Like I said, its this saturday
