I currently have acuvue 2 contacts. I was wondering if my prescription is the same for acuvue 2 colors or do i need a different fitting. One place told me I needed to call the doctor for a fitting and when I called they said the should be the same prescription. anyone know?

My gyn put me on continuous BCPs for endometriosis pain relief. I personally hate continuous pills (even though they make my acne better), because after about the first "missed" period, so to speak, I get a dark brown discharge that NEVER ends until I stop the pill completely and allow a full period to come. I have also noticed that around the time that I should be getting my period I get symptoms of PMS (like mood swings, cramping, etc). The cramping is the worst. Is is normal to get PMS symptoms while on a continuous pill, and is it normal for the symptoms to get progressively worse with each "missed" period?

I need to cut weight for wrestling but I also need to keep getting protein. Is drinking raw eggs okay? Its alot better then scrambling them seeing as how you put oil on the eggs when you do that.

Also what has most of the protein in an egg, the whites or yellow?

I haven't been to the Dentist in about 10 years, right after I had my wisdom teeth removed when I was 17. Although I brush 2 or 3 times a day and floss just about every day, bad teeth run in my family. (My dad had to get dentures when he was 19.) Right after I found out I was pregnant, about 2 years ago, I found that I had a hole in center of one of my very back molars. I've wondered if a filling fell out. Over the last couple of years, the tooth has broken off a little here and there. It looks pretty bad. Sometimes it hurts, like when food gets down in it and just this week it has started to feel a little swollen along my gums. I haven't had insurance until just now and am going to make an appointment. I suffer from anxiety, so I was just wondering what should I expect? Also, what do I tell the receptionist I want to see the Dentist for? Just a check up? Or do I need to tell them everything over the phone? Thanks for your help!

My dental hygienist says it's dead. The pamphlet from my endodontist says it's alive and continues to be "nourished" by surrounding tissue.

I was reading a question about an expander and they said it hurt so bad but i got one 2 days ago and mine didn't hurt at all. Does it normally hurt, or is it just me?

I had my appendix out about 3 months ago. The doctors found a bag of infectous fluid around appendix and they said my appendix was adhered to something.

Ever since about a month after the op I have had recurring abdominal pains. They are crampy and are mainly in the lower left and right abdo. However it hurts to touch/push around the lower left/right/ middle of stomach around belly button and going up my left abdominal side.

My doctors said that the appendix was a symptom of something and the bag had to come from somewhere.

I have had blood in stool as well as yellow mucus.

Does anyone know what causes the bags?? Or know what my symptoms mean??

* I am currently seeing a gastro and having tests done*
I'm a female

When someone is touching a certain part of my body... or at different times of the day... I see colors. My eyes will be closed and I will see colors.

I can make the colors change.. from blue to purple to yellow... whatever I want. I can make them change.

I have recently been told that that is my 'inner eye' and that I can work it so that it teaches me things.

Does anyone know anything about this? Or can anyone give me any resources to strengthening this?

I'm planning on doing a 24hr fast with no water or liduids for charity in about a week and I was just wondering before hand whether the fast would have any effect on my health. If I do find out it is exteremly dangerous I suppose I'll have to do something less dramatic and hope it raises the same amout of money.

Hey everyone!
I had back surgery a month ago for a slipped disk in my back. Now I am starting physical therapy. My physical therapist said I should go to the gym 3-5 times a week (only on the treadmill and bike), so I can strengthen my legs. I am 114 pounds currently, but I don’t want to loose any weight. Will running make me loose weight...or will I just stay the same??
Thanks in advanced=)

p.s. I am 14 yr old girl, and 5’6.

I pulled a weed without any gloves, not realizing it had TONS of really tiny thorns on it. It hurt REALLY bad where my fingers got pricked. It felt like a thousand bees stung me. Now, it doesn't have the same intense pain, but instead I keep feeling this prickling sensation going through my hand.
Any suggestions or advice? (Besides to wear gloves next time!)

Had unprotected sex with my husband (not on birth control right now) 6 weeks ago. Missed my period which should have started 3 weeks ago. 2 weeks ago started bleeding dark brown, and now have been bleeding bright red with a few clots for a week. Took preg. test last night and came back positive. This will be my 2nd pregnancy and I bled with my first for the first couple of wks, but not heavy as I remember and have a healthy 3 yr old girl now. I have breast tenderness, am seriously bloated (looks like I am 12 months preg.), tired and somewhat nauseus, but not as much as my first pregnancy. Have cramps like when I was in labor in my lower back and sides...could i be miscarrying? I don't want to have to go the er this weekend, but can't call my gyno until Monday, and was just wondering if the pregnancy test would still show up bright positive if I am going thru a miscarriage? Any advice would be helpful...
