Health - 11 October 2007

I'm incredibly quiet, soft-spoken and shy around my coworkers. Recently, I've been starting to slowly open up to a few of them. I talk briefly, but I'm making baby steps. Unfortunately, I still blush whenever attention is drawn to me or if I decide to talk unexpectedly. Mostly I quietly listen to what's going on around me though. When I do keep to myself, I'll notice that if I look up, others are simply observing me. Occasionally they'll smile and wink at me. When this happens I end up smiling back shyly and then quickly glancing downwards automatically.

So my question is, what does their smile and wink mean? (I know it's not flirting b/c they're married)

Also, is my reaction rude - like how I glance down? (I get so worried about how I'm perceived by people)

I've already had two vaginal ultrasounds and I'm sure I'll have more to go! What's the norm with shaving down there?? That's the only place I am just natural (besides keeping the bikini line shaved).

I've had two male doctors now..and I'm just curious. Do they think it's gross when women don't shave down there? Or what do they think of that??

I have not had sex in almont 2 months and I was riding a bike for a little while the other day and ever since I have felt very irritated and sensitive like an infection may be starting. Is it because it hasn't been touched or what.

I had just gotten my first Pap test. I had gotten my physical and learned how to give myself a breast exam. That I was okay with. There was no one else in there with me, and I got a rectal exam(ewww!) I was told by the RN that it was standard procedure to do that. I don't think that it was. Is it?

I need to know how I can lose like 30 lbs.

I'm 6' tall. And I weigh about 200 lbs. I HATE being fat. I mean I don't look like wicked fat, but still, even that little bit of stomach fat is just weird.. I used to be as skinny as a toothpick. But now I don't know how I can lose weight. I don't eat too much either. But I can't really go to exercise anywhere. I live in this crapy town in NH. Only places I can go is to the school track but it's always full n I can't work out anywhere. Please help?

I'm a 19 y.o college student that lives with her grandparents and brother. My mother passed away when I was 17, after having breast cancer for 8 years. I've been in a relationship with my boyfriend for just over 4 years. I don't really have any friends that I stay in touch with, because I just feel like putting the effort into making friends. I am easily irritated by people, I tend to overreact over stupid little things (boyfriend not calling or not being able to see me), I constantly feel alone like I have no one to talk to, and I think I cry a lot. On the outside, I feel like I always have to be strong and put a smile on my face, but meanwhile on the inside I feel like I have nothing, like I'm all alone. I started talking to a counselor at my school this week, but I don't think she really understands how I feel. I feel like because I don't hurt myself, she thinks there's nothing wrong, but maybe it's just me. What is going on with me?

I have been newly diagnosed. My TSH levels were very high..and doctor has started me on Synthroid 25 mcg daily. I gained a lot of weight (roughly 10 lbs), I have been very achey, tired, irritable. Has anyone had any of these symptoms or others? Do you lose the weight eventually after being on the meds? How long does it take to feel better and have more energy? Any side effects from meds? Are we predisposed to other autoimmune disorders now? I am being retested in 3 months to check my levels. I'm hoping to feel better, and thinner by then! Any feedback would be greatly appreciated or advice. : )))

I am not sure how this works. I had my cycle September 25-30. Then on cd13-17 (which would be the 7-11 of October), I was spotting lightly. Not enough for a pad and barely enough for liner. It is like a rust color. You know like brownish red/to light pink. I am not sure if its ovulation bleeding or implantation. How soon does implantation occur? I expect my next cycle to be on 25. So I'm not sure. Has any had any experience like this. Meaning is implantation bleeding always at the time you are to have your cycle or does it come later. Does any of this make any sense. Thanks for the help or advice in advance.

Alright this has been going on for a while. I'm not sexual active, I am on birth control pills and I've been on it for four or five years. These abnormal pains are located around my stomache area and this started about a couple of months ago. I thought it was from cheese because every time I eat it, I feel dizzy or feel like throwing. Sometimes when I eat cheese the pain comes. I stop eatting with the cheese completely and I still have the pains. I went to the gynecologist and she didn't find anything. What could this be?

I tried it last week and felt like crap. My memory was weaker and my movements were sloth like. I'll never do that again, I'm back to 8 hours now and feel really refreshed after. How about you?

Im 5'9-5'10 and turning 16 in a few days. Im extremely overweight.. Ive been walking alot for about the past 3-4 weeks. I walk in my backyard, which is pretty good sized. I'll do about 15 laps then rest for a hour or 2 then go back out and walk like that. I do this in about 4-5 sessions on the weekends. On the weekdays, I'll do about 40 laps a day.. I used to be 275. Now I look on the scale and it says 269. But in the morning it says, 265. I can notice that my chest and stomach have shrunk quite a bit. But the scale hasnt changed that much... Is this normal? Has anyone lost alot of weight but the scale hasnt showed much change in your weight? My whole family has a history of big boned people. Like they weigh alot but look so small.

Is this normal? lol

I broke a nail.

I never thought that I would say that. And I definatly never thought that it would hurt this much. I have a bandade on it but it doesn't seem to be working.

What else can I do?

I had strabismus surgery around age 5 for a slight outward eye turn. The prodedure made my eyes worse. Now my eye turns inward. It alternates between both my eyes. I can choose which eye I want to use and the opposite eye turns in. When I'm tired or stressed out, the eye turn gets worse. My question is if it's worth getting the surgery again? How will the doctor know how much muscle to cut because there is always a fluctuation in how severe my eye is turning in? I'm 23 now, has there been dramatic improvements to strabismus surgery in the last 17 years? I'm just very skeptical on getting it done because one surgery has already made it worse. Thanks for your advice.
