I’ve had my period for about 5 years now and it’s always been slightly irregular because I’m skinny; nothing the doctors seem to be concerned about though. However, my past 2 periods have been brown and lighter than normal. It definitely wasn’t spotting, just not as heavy as usual. They came with all the normal PMS symptoms so I’d like to assume it’s just old blood. Is it normal for that to happen 2 periods in a row though? Any other ideas on what it could be?

I haven't had any recent sudden weight gains/losses but have been pretty stressed for a long time. Could this have influenced it as well? I have a doctor’s appointment in a few days but I’m still nervous/curious.

I know this sounds stupid, but i drink a minimum of 3 bottles of lucozade a day. It makes me really giddy and i know i probably shouldn't drink so much but i actually crave it! Today i had none and i actually fell asleep at college! Is it just me being stupid or is it addictive? And what's the amount it's healthy to drink? Regarding any energy drink really. Any information will be greatly appreciated!

My dad has been in overseas for tha past 2 years.When he made his 2 week visit 6 months ago, for the first time he used his Aetna insurance.He went to the IC Laser Eye Care at Bensalem to simply get an eye examination.The doctor gave him a prescription to get glasses but he never did that because he had to leave the U.S. So just today we get a phone call from their office saying that we owe $400. I called the office, but they said to call the insurance company. I then did that and I asked them what this payment was about, they named 3 things one for "office consultation" $200, one for "visualization" $100, and he said something that starts with the letters "gonoes__"(sorry dont know the rest)I have absolutely no idea what theyre talking about. By the way, they then told me to call back the doctors office and that he's "responsible" to pay for this. Please tell me what I should do to get out of this mess because my dad did nothing more than to get his eye examined which only cost $20...

Hi, I am currently undergoing some real lifestyle changes to help me deal with mental illness and increase energy levels...

I am currently on medication and am not to keen on HERBALS for my livers sake!
However, i am all for amino acids and supplements allready found in the body.

Anyone know of any great working stimulant like products (more so ingredients) that will help give me an "edge" so i dont feel like a fatigued elderly woman with a potbelly trying to fix her bingo wings at the gym? (im not overweight at all just a joke).

Any ideas? The catch is i am in australia and product availability may be an issue!

Thanx dudes and dudettes

I've been having this problem with my left contact. I use Acuvue (is that how you spell it?) lenses, and Opti-Free Replenish contact solution. My left eye has recently begun to have blurry vision, most likely in need of a stronger prescription again, but my left eye has become incredibly red. We're talking beet, ketchup red. All over. My left eye is no longer white. It's always a shade of pink. And the contact gives it a very glazed look on the pupil, making it look almost like I would imagine a glass eye would look. What would cause this problem? Is it the contact? The contact in question is a little over a month old, and I have always had dry eyes when wearing contacts, but they have never made them this red before. Is it the solution? Am I just in need of a stronger prescription? Why is my eye so blood red? I don't want to look like a crack addict....what can I do? My optometrist is booked and I won't be able to see him for a month.

its a paste with very fine granules of something

the one from my dentist comes in this tiny 'one time' use cup, covered with aluminum foil, and its very thick, almost not a paste

i've asked my dentist to give me some and he did, but i dont like to keep asking.

they are not "retail packaged" and being in tiny round cups tells me they were specifically made for the dentist's apparatus

anyone know of anything similar?

i really like the clean feeling they give

thanks

I was just prescribed Tranxene for anxiety. I asked the doc about Xanax and he wouldn't give it to me. I didn't know Tranxene was a benzo I called a pharmacy that doesn't have benzos and they claimed Tranxene was a form of Xanax or something. How similar are these two drugs?
