Health - 15 October 2007

In the last 12 hours, I've had to use 6 Super Plus (the GIANTS) tampons. It's day 2 of my period and while it's normally a pretty heavy day (1 giant tampon every 4-6 hours), but I generally don't have to stay up all night guarding against major leaks which happened anyway btw. All tampons had giant clotted blood which isn't normal for me and after I took them out, TWICE, giant balls of blood came out.

I have things to do. I can't deal with this. How can I make it stop? I can literally feel the down pour.

I'm struggling to come to terms with how much this condition (and those wretched pills) have ruined my life. I used to work 5 days a week, party hard on Fridays and help my Dad run his market stall on Sundays. Now all I have left is the markets and my Dad worries about me doing them! I just want to cry sometimes because I don't know what to do. Has anyone got any advice they feel would help me?

I am on pills (Dilantin) and I have tonic clonic, myoclonic, atonic and absence seizures.

Thank you, Rosie.

My friend has had high blood pressure for a while, and its risen to 185/107. Admittedly she didn't make the advised lifestyle changes, and is now worried sick that she's gonna have a stroke or worse. Is that likely?
And how will she know if she's had one?
Thanks.

I'm 14 and I would like some help on answering the following questions (sources would be good);

1) Where and how is marijuana produced?

2) What is the Governments' (Australian preferably but any would be good) attitude towards its use?

3) What possible programs exist to assist the quitting or rehabilitation process?

4) What are the social and pyschological consequences of long-term abuse of Marijuana?

I would really be greatful for the help.. It's for an essay due in two days, and I have now learnt to not leave things to the last minute.

is it sleep or darkness that stimulates a body to grow, or a mixture of both. if a child sleeps only in bright light will this slow the growth?
