Health - 19 October 2007

hi there, my body's been acting quite strangely lately, nad my friends have been concerned... im not sure if its worth seeing a doctor yet.... ill list some of the things that i've noticed and some of the habits of my life so that maybe they might be connected:
Symptoms:
- headaches
- nausea (not severe)
- frequent urination (maybe 2x an hour, sometimes more, it's usally clear, or slightly yellow)
- i've been vomiting a little bit (like twice last night, but not for two weeks before that) ... but its not like a sick flu type, more like a spontaneous thing
- my tongue's been peeling as well as very dry
- constant thirst (probably from peeing so much)
- mood swings
- as well, i died my hair black (again) two week ago because the dye on the tips (not the roots) of my hair were fading back to brown, and already they're turning reddish - brown again (it cant be the dye, its a good brand
Habits:
- i smoke tabbacco
- i drink alcohol (on weekends, mostly)
- recent change of diet (3 months ago)

i need some advice i love my mom so much but lately and gradually i have noticed her becoming more moody and snappy. one minute she is happy the next very angry and horrible mood swings. for example yesterday we went food shopping for a few bits. when we got back she discovered that the girl who served us had forgot to put a loaf of bread in the bag. she got really angry was banging stuff shouting and just couldnt see how over the top she was being she is only 51. one minute happy the next angry never seems to be able to smile an see the lighter side of life. im worried about her and just want to no what could be causing this i dont think its depression and i dont think its the change as she has had a hysterectomy a few years ago. any advice or help would be welcome thanx in advance.

I have a friend who hears all kinds of myths like this, and being an avid gum chewer (Stride all the way!) I really wondered if there was any truth to this.

Stride is a sugarless gum and I've heard good tthings bout chewing gum, like how it helps circulate blood to your brain which helps you think.

Period began last Sat Oct 13 but it was very light didnt have to use a pad till Sun. I dont have any severe pain,some light cramps but not to painful. I have been passing alot of clots from half dollar size to penny size. Today is Fri Oct 19 and Im still passing some clots and I'm still on period clots aren't that big anymore about quarter to nickel size. flow isnt that heavy anymore. Does this sound like a normal period? Were it starts light and then gets heavy and gets light again till it goes away. Could this be a normal period or a miscarriage? What does it feel when you miscarry? Do you have alot of pain? There could be a possiblity I could be pregnant but since I dont have any pain and im just woried about clots and my period almost lasting a wk need some info on miscarriage and how long your period should last? My pd usually lasted from 5days but since we have been trying to get pregnant they seem to be more abnormal and last longer. Is this normal when trying to concieve?

I heard that Yaz works for acne and Ive had acne for 8 yrs and my friend is on Yaz and it works for her..her doctor didnt make her see the gynecologist. However, I asked my dr. about it and she said I would have to have a pelvic exam before getting on birth control, even if I am not sexually active. Why do some doctors make you have an exam and some dont?

My 33yr old daughter has been having the contraceptive injection for 7 years. I know she is overweight and also suffers from high blood pressure (although she has no medication for this). Why do they continue to give the injection when they say that, after 5 years, they do not normally like to give it? Each time she has the injection, they tell her she must lose weight, but still they give it. Any advise please? I am worried.

Hi!

I am considering adding Lipo 6x to my workout routine, and I am wondering if it has any drug interactions with any oral contraceptive (mainly ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel - aka Seasonique).

I am in the 18-24 age bracket, non smoker but I do drink.

I have had success with Hydroxycut in the past. Are the side effects similar? More intense?

Thanks for your help!

My 15 year old daughter just came to live with me and she is not at all happy.

She throws tantrums to express her frustration and unhappiness.

I am very stressed out about this and don't really know how to handle it.

I have bad headaches and can not sleep or concentrate at work.

She pushes and hits me and then starts to cry and will not cooperate at all.

I try to go in the other room and she bangs on the door so much.

How should I handle the stress that she is causing me? I don't want to talk to her father because it will not help. He also lives in another state.
