When taking the birth control pill, is the "period pill"/ sugar pill really necessary. I know that you can skip them and just go month to month, but when you decide to have your period, is taking this pill necessary, since it's just a "sugar pill"
My mom and I were debating...she says there are still hormones in these pills...and I stand by that they are just sugar pills.....your knowledge?

My mother has a huge problem. She has this doctor who prescribes her tons and tons of medication. Granted, I am not a doctor nor an expert on psychiatric medications, but I am able to tell when they are being abused. What's worse is that the doctor basically supports the addiction by calling in her prescriptions when she's run out of 1 month's supply in a week and 1/2. We've tried to contact him to tell him that she is doing very badly; that she is taking other pills aside from the ones he prescribed and we fear an interaction and an overdose. He refuses to even speak to us, citing patient confidentiality. But is is confidentiality when we are trying to GIVE information rather that receive it? We called him 5 times in one night once because she was so messed up on pills. She looks drunk. She stumbles, falls, slurs, can't focus, passes out. I've called the pharmacies that I know she goes to in order to warn them but there's not much they can do if it's doctor prescribed. We're at a loss

i work at ups as a package handler and for the past month the joints in my wrists have been sore. it hurts to bend them in pretty much every direction but mostly to the outside. i know that they hurt from overusing them and carpal tunnel has been ruled out since that only affects your thumb and first thee fingers (not your pinky). the pain mostly comes from the outside of my wrists. it also hurts to apply pressure to them like when i do pushups or any kind of weight lifting. when i'm at work they hurt at first but after they get warmed up i dont feel much pain and i lift the packages in a way that doesnt hurt them as much. they dont really affect me from doing everyday tasks but i cant lift weights with them like this and thats definitely a problem for me. anybody have any ideas?

I read that extreme fatigue can be related to endometrosis (which I have), does anyone else have this problem as well?
If you do, how do you cope with the fatigue? I'm sleeping entire weekends away, and that is getting old.

The dentist said the coloring is because your able to see the veins in my teeth/they are sort of see through. Only a few of my front teeth have this....does this mean they are weak? And if so are all my teeth weak or are just those few weak? What can I do to change this?

I've had progressive pain in first the right foot and ankle and now have pain in both feet and ankles. I did a web search and FOUND the answer to my pain. The pain was in my ankles and heels. I bought pain creams, magnet treatments, many many shoes, pain tablets, insoles... I searched out "arch" pain and causes and that's it!!! I bought those walk fit insoles and never used them till tonight...I wrapped them on my feet with ace bandages and socks and wore them and the pain is slowly leaving!!! What relief I don't have to crawl to the bathroom anymore. Anyone know of some good inexpensive arch support shoes???

At the start of the year I lost about 13 pounds in the the time period of 4 months. This was mainly because of my uncle and aunts saying that I was a 'big girl' and stuff like that (I weighted 132 pounds back then, at 5'4"). And it was also because I weighed the most out of all the females in my family (and I'm also the youngest).

For a while I felt good about myself but now the feeling of guilt has crept upon me.

When I don't exercise I feel guilty (I exercise at least 5 days a week, 750-1000 calories per exercising day).

I also try not to eat over 1500 calories per day and if I do, I feel guilty also.

And I don't like weighing myself.

I was just wondering if I had an eating disorder of some sort.
