That biohazard symbol you see on containers in doctor offices. Orange background. A big ring with 3 "c-clamp" shapes on top. What actually is that?

So it's been almost two hours since I took my very first hit... I'm not getting anything. Why? Could it be a dud? Anyways, if you need to know... I rolled it on my tongue until it was tasteless and swallowed it. I ate just before I did that. My friend, who took a couple of hits from the same sheet told me it worked on him, so it probably isn't a dud. So what's wrong!?

I havent had a period in three months. I run 5 miles a day, eat very healthy and recently lost ten pounds because of it. I am 110 and 5'6. I am very scared for my bone health, so I am going to stop running until I get my period. Is it best to exercise less or eat more fat to gain a few pounds. I want to get my period back as fast as possible without medication. Please any helps/ links would be really great!

Ive been experencing this for years and its becoming worse.Often times when I take an afternoon nap, I wake up feeling alone, betrayed, depressed, all the sad feelings in the world, i would feel like crying, but I hold it, all my insecurities are present including my status, my boyfriend's ex girl friends, his past, or sumtimes, nothing at all I just feel sad! I would curl up coz of an upset stomach from thinking too much, I even create thoughts that dont exist and would just make me feel even worse.I also feel that as if something bad is gonna happen or is currently happening. I feel like a total loser. Then eventually when I start doing something else, It just goes away,in a snap of a finger. I hate taking afternoon naps :( Am I going crazy? What is it??? Is it possible to go away? Is it some kind of a weird sick episode?Help :(

Recently, I've been having two temperatures: either extremely hot or extremely cold. It seems that I get hot if I move around, such as walking or standing. But, I become extremely cold if I don't move, such as when I sleep or sit. What could be causing this? I was literally so cold when I woke up this morning that I could barely get out of bed. Bare in mind, these things happen when other people are comfortable, so it's not that it's actually cold or hot.

I'm on the Combined Pill, I'm going to see my bf soon and I would like to stop my period from coming then. If I just continue taking the pills for the next month without taking the 7 day break will that stop it from happening? Would that be bad? And if its ok and it would stop it, do I take the break another time or just carry on as normal and take the break the next month? Thanks!!

I'm waiting for the results of a urine culture, but I have a question. The doctor looked at the urine under the microscope and said the urine looked clear and he didn't see white blood cells. He used a catheter to collect the urine since I'm having my period right now. When he went to insert the catheter, he mentioned the urethra was constricted.

I have all the other symptoms of a UTI, but if my urine is clear, could I still have an infection? What other types of things could cause frequent urination and constant urge to urinate?

Please don't say "see a doctor", I already am, just looking for information while I wait. Thanks.

Okay, yesterday, I went to the bathroom in P.E. and noticed something brownish on my panties[For the first time]. I wiped, and there was nothing there, I flushed and there was nothing there. I got some "supplies" from my purse and I put them on, and had a little more that day. I went to sleep last night and there was nothing when I woke up, and today, nothing at all. Is this normal? Did I actually start or is this some kind of "warning"? I haven't had any cramps either, but I'm positive it was blood the other day. Please help me. :[

So I am reading these statistics...
USA 70% of men are overweight...
England 66%
Mexico 59%
Australia and Canada 67%

But
France .. 40%
Japan ... 27%

I think it has to do with the high consumption of Human Intervention packaged food... compared to fresh food consumed in Japan and France. I mean you don't see the French exercising a lot do you?

What are your thoughts, tubby?

My doctor switch me from yasmin to loestrin 24fe. Just wanted some thought from people who have taken this birth control. Does it make you gain weight? Are your periods really 2 to three days? I would appreciate any insight. Thank You!

im 18 recently quit drinking and smoking and took on a healthy lifestyle, like keeping well hyrdrated and getting enough fruit etc.

but i keep getting pains all over the place, not bad pains, just little pains in my chest and abdomen, also had the symptoms of acid reflux, but i seem to get differant symptoms per day lol, seems odd. Today i've had a sinking feeling or like a feeling of pressure in my chest. Im also scared of going to the doctors!

also had twitches in various muscles every now and again and such like.

i also suffer from a short temper and anxiety, i think i may be a hyperchondriac also.

i must sound a right mess haha, feedback and some reassurance would be much appreciated cheers!

Ewan.

Ive been on birth control since I've been 15. I became sexually active at 17. I am now 19. Im 5' 6" 135lbs

I used to be on Depo, but it was so hard on my body. It gave me headaches, made me depressed, and I gained about 10lbs on it. After 2yrs of misery I finally switched.

I am now on the pill. It made my boobs bigger (lol) But Ive been on it for about 4mos and I've gained an additional 10lbs! =( !!!

The weight gain is crazy I'll stop taking it to start my peroid and I drop 5 or 6lbs the next day.. then once I start again I usually gain more back on.

What do u ladies recommend?? This weight gain is starting to effect myselfesteem and my clothes are starting to become tight.

So is there a brand of pills that dont cause to much weight gain or another method? I heard that NuvaRing cuases you to gain the most weight?
