Or will I always feel like poo? I found a kitten that was dumped at my work and I would love to keep her but I'm allergic. Anyone have any tips on this... other than getting rid of her?

I had a baby 4 months ago, and had intercourse once since then. I am not pregnant now, have not gotten my period yet, and just started taking the pill. How long should I wait for it to take effect?

ok , im 15 years old and i am active somewhat throughout the day . Im 5'5" and weigh 115 lbs , but i think i look more like 100-105lbs because i look kind of thin to weigh that much , and my friend guessed i weigh about a 100lbs also . I wear a size 1 and my cousin who is just 5lbs heavier than me wears a 5 .(she is the same height) I can also eat and consume large amounts of foods/calories and not gain any weight . (i do gain like 1-2lbs but its water weight and goes away in like 2-3days).
also when i flex my stomach and legs muscles i feel really hard muscle tissue and its very solid , there is a thin layer of fat on top of that , but not alot , just a small amount . Also when im walking and as i walk i can feel the muscle tisse in my legs . but my legs dont look muscular , so im not sure if this is muscle or fat tissue / what do you think?

I woke up this morning, with intense knee pain. This is a pain I have had before, usally after a lot of walking. But this time there has been no warning. I did a bit of stooping down, while shopping yesterday, but other than that nothing strenous. I am 31 now, back when i was 11 or 12, I popped something in my knee, I can't remember if its the same one or not.

I seem to have the most pain at the frontward range of motion while trying to walk.

Also when I have had this pain in the past its usually brief, but this time it has hurt all day so far.

We bought a Sealy True Foam ( 11") Theurapetic mattress about 2 months ago, pretty much because of my back pain, and for the first weeks we though it still hurts because I needed to adapt to the new mattress but, instead, I got worse and also my husbund start having back pain too! So, we'll try to take it back and possibly exchange it with another one, but I don't know which one!?Should we go with another foam one, maybe a firmer one or ....what kind?! Thanks!

There's a couple I know at school. They usually get along together really well. She'll come over during open hours, and do her homework in his bed, or they'll watch the game together in the lounge a lot... But about once every other month, one day I'll see her outside his room covered in tears, just sitting there in the hall for hours. A lot of times he and his roommate will both be hanging out inside the whole time. Sometimes they'll be walking together, and she'll be in tears shouting and crying.

When I talk to her it's always the same story about having a rough day, being sick, or having been a clutz and injured herself, and her roommates not letting her in for some reason, and her boydfriend being a jerk and her not knowing why.

When I talk to him it's always the same too. She's had a bad day, she's on a lot of medications that affect mood.

Everybody is wondering if she's being abused. She says she's in therapy for something though.

What should we do?

I had open heart surgery and have a problem with numbness and sharp burning pain across my chest. It has been diagnosed as nerve pain from the nerves across my chest that were cut opening my chest to perform the bypass. I was put on Gabapentin for it and have been told that if it still exists after 1 year then it will be permanent.

and throwing that phrase around freely. I have a freakin 130 IQ and am an honor student. I'm not the best in math. Why does she keep saying this? she says its because when I get mad I tend to dwell on what I'm mad about (uh, holding grudges). My husband is pissed because she keeps calling me autistic. She cant ever say why else she thinks it. Ive been to regular doctors and psychiatrists as a kid and adult because of depression and not ONE of them has said I am autistic. Why is she doing this? Do I sound autistic?

I recently had to taper myself down from my pain medication because my doctor moved on to another town(4 hrs. away) I was taking about 60 mg's of lortab a day and tapered down to 10 mg's a day. I now have totally quit and it has been about 48 hrs. and I feel like crap, though not as bad as when I had to do this before. If anyone else has been through this please reply. I would like to give more details to understanding individuals who have experienced this before. Thank You and God Bless

i'm only in highschool but my gyn gave me the pill(the lowest dose...it should still work right?) because i have really bad periods...they've been better since i've been taking this over the counter the medicine but when blood clots come out (and on the 1st day) it's still horrible

i get really weak in my legs and pale during my period (my mom sad i fainted once)...the feeling's worse than pain...when i'm better i feel like my soul has come back in my body (corny i know)....but i'm scared to take it cuz breast cancer has been in my family and i read the side effects and they were scary (like blood clots and stuff....it makes the vomiting which scared me look like nothing)

so any advice or comfort....o and if the pill is the lowest dose will it still work good (my gyn said if it's not than see her but wth is that supposed to mean?)
