Health - 14 September 2007

I sometimes get this head pain,it's like on the outer part of the skull.My head will feel tender in the one spot usually about the size of a golf ball.It doesn't hurt badly but if I touch it I can feel the softness and pain from it.
Sometimes it's in the rear of my head and sometimes on one of the sides.I get this maybe once a week sometime every 2 weeks.
I have been to the Doctors and they find nothing.

Any ideas what this pain could be..?

i just started high school and i eat breakfast around 5:50 in the morning (cereal, milk, and half a apple) then i go to school. I dont have lunch so i get real hungry during school.
i come home around 2:20 and eat. Not too much but not too little amount. I used to work out 3-4 times a week and run the rest of the days but then stopped for some time now. i noticed that i lost 3-5 pounds in a matter of 2 weeks while not working out. I was wondering if im losing my muscle i worked hard for before to get or am i losing fat?

As some of you may already know, I have had a sty for the last few months now. All the remedies I've tried haven't worked so far (the doctor, warm compresses, tea, milk, prescription anti-biotic medications, you name it). So, now I'm thinking about throwing some Clearasil on my eyelid. The theory is: If the sty is like a pimple, then acne treatment products ought to clear it up. My only problem is: Why hasn't anyone ever thought of this idea before? Am I missing something?

I understand during the beginning of pregnancy they say there is a risk of misscarriage if you overwork. But i've also been told to continue lifting or working as i did before i was pregnant..
I personally was a carpenter before i was pregnant so i don't feel there isn't alot i can't do, i know its different for everyone.. but even that said, people treat me like i'm made of glass, and even scold me if i've done some manual labor around my own home.. why is this? pregnant women sould pay more attention to their bodies, if it hurts don't do it, but we'er deffinately not that breakable..... are we?

I've heard that in a pinch you could bring down a fever by drawing some blood. Is it because there's a lot of WBC's in the blood of a febrile person, and taking some blood out removes some of the WBCs?

Okay, so i'm taking Ortho-tricyclin and I was wondering if once I take the green pills (at the end of the cycle) if that is for sure when i will get my peroid. By the way, I havent taken them for a very long time, so my periods are still a bit irregular.

I misunderstood it and made a mistake in taking it the proper way.

I cannot believe the misunderstanding of diet and weightloss and the evolution and design of the human body.

You people all still try to listen to the supposed 'experts' eat this, do that, that same crap we have heard for 25 years and yet the country gets fatter every year.

Carbs are the enemy. It is very very simple. The human body evolved to eat MEAT. Meat increased brain size and reduced digestive tract (which is only needed for eating roughage).

The body was not designed to eat rice cakes and other carb based 'diet' products 4, 5, 6 or more times a day. It was designed to eat large meals (primarily of meat) sporadically.

Counting calories and starving yourself will not work. The sooner you all wake up and realize the the truth the better off you will all be.

Ive waited like 3 weeks and it still has not gone away. Im to embaressed to tell my parents. So, Im gonna ask you guys first. Does this have something to do with puberity? Or is this a type of male cancer? Im turning 13 in a few weeks. Please help..Im scared.

Well, I'm almost 18 & I've been under stress due to a recent and sad move & I also have 2 cysts that the doctors know about. I'm going to the Gyn. next week & They will most likely do an ultrasound. What kinds will the most likely be doing? I couple yrs. ago I had bulimia due to a death in the family (which no one knows about me throwing up) & lost 30 pounds, which was before my very 1st gyn. appoint. I went due to developing cysts that was found at the ER. They stuck a tube like shape & said I was fine. Will they do a vaginal ultrasound or will they do an abdomial ultrasound? I only did it for about a yr. or so. and had my period regularly. I started up again a few weeks ago & quit due to finding terrible effects about it on the internet. Will they find out I made myself throw up if they do an abdomianl ultrasound?she need to know whats going on down there & not in my stomach, right?well i just don't what anyone to find out i was bulimac!Will they tell my mom since i'm months from 18

Is there anything else BESIDES pregnancy that could be giving my excessive abdominal swelling that makes me look as if I am 6 or 7 months pregnant!? Its really gross looking. Also, I can feel movements in my belly region like muscle spasms or something. And its like knots whenever i touch it and then they float away and appear somewhere else. Once again...I am not pregnant FOR SURE! so please dont suggest it. I was very underweight and I recently gained 15 lbs w/in a 3 months. =) So could it just be the fact that I put on weight too fast? I am able to suck all of the fat in as a matter of fact without any discomforts whatsoever. But does anyone have any ideas what it could possibly be?

My periods are still pretty irregular, but I usually get them within a month and a half of each other. They're usually heavy I guess because there's a long time between them? But anyway this month it's unusually heavy. Today's the second day and I've had to change my tampon like once every hour / hour and a half. Is this normal??

I have been vomitting and have had diarrhea for a few days now...I have been only able to keep down ginger ale, a little bit of chicken broth and toast today. I'm pretty hungry and wanting to try to move to something more substantial, but I'm not sure what will be somewhat safe...also, smells have been bothering, so nothing that when cooked (or uncooked I suppose) smells bad or strong. I don't plan on eating anything until tomorrow at least, so I know for sure if the toast and broth settle well...but basically once I'm dealing well with those, what comes next? Thanks!

HI ..I'm 23 years old. I inherited Polycystic Kidney Disease ..was diagnosed at age 14. A year later the disease spread to my ovaries. Up until I turned 21, the government has helped me.. I had medical benefits...however, I lost them when I turned 21. I have applied numerous times but I am always denied. Once, while I was unemployeed, they denied me bacause they said you needed some income. Then, I got a job making minimum wage...applied again and was denied because they said I was making TOO much money. I pay rent and have bills just like everyone else so I have to work, of course. It's hard to find a job where benefits are offered for these reasons:
I'm currently attended a community college so it's been hard to find a job that offers benefits that willing to work around my school schedule. Also, sometimes it's hard for me to hold onto jobs because I end up having health problems and having to take considerable amounts off...I am having alot of health problems and I am very scared

I have just been reading in an article online .. well a few actually.. that the coil causes depression , mood swings and weight gain.. is this true??
I have experienced the above but would put it down to a difficult year more than anything..
the reason i researched this was because i have been off work now for 5 weeks with the worst backache ever, i have been checked and scanned and everything looks fine so the dr said i must have just injured my back.. my lower back that is. I am so pleased with the coil cause the pill gives me bad headaches and i now have no periods.. but .. it got me thinking.. after 8 months of no pain could the coil just have caused this now?? or does it sound more like an injury that i cant pinpoint? ? it is a general ache that is sharp on one side and is worsened by sitting up and walking for long periods... thanks for any help it is much appriciated x
