My GF is not pregnant, but her menstrual cycle is delayed and her blood test report says she has a high level of muscle enzymes. Are these inter-related in any way?

my girlfriend was on paxil for a few years which messed up her menstrual cycle. She got off it about seven months ago but still hasnt got her period. what could be wrong? could she have damaged something that can stop her from having babies in the future? what happens to all the blood? does it just collect inside?

and immediately noticed that my appetite has gone way down. Before I would have to always be chewing on/eating something especially when reading or just sitting in one spot.
W/ in 24 hours of when I started my appetite hasn't bothered me once. I can do my homework and read for hours on end without thinking of hunger. I can get through the morning until lunch time w/o my stomach growling like crazy like it used to.
I'm not complaining at all... I'm just curious if this is a normal reaction?

I'll try and keep this short :)

A very good friend of mine was only 27 and killed by a drink driver two weeks ago.

After this I started over eating, stopped going to the gym (I use to go 3 hours a day), stopped going out, stopped volunteering, stopped dating, stopped seeing my friends, stopped spending an hour getting dressed in the morning haha.

I'm not super religious, and if I continued with my normal routine I wouldn't hurt anyones feelings, his family and our mutual friends wouldn't even see me while I'm at these different venues.

I'm not even crying about it as much now. My question is everyone else from his sister to his mom seem to be doing fine and have already moved on like nothing has happened. I feel odd enjoying my life when he had to die so untimely and can't be here to enjoy life.

How do I get rid of the guilt? Or can anyone give me some words of wisdom besides " he would want you to go on" haha :)

Thanks

I constantly cross my legs and apparently its really bad for your spine because when you cross your legs it curves your spine into position to sit that way, and after a while its bad =S how can i stop crossing my legs? Its just a habit i have and i dont know how i could stop it..

I got contact lenses last week but I also have a pinguecula. The pinguecula a very small not too noticable. The optometrist said that my lenes will sit slighlty off centre because of it.
I want to know if the pinguecula will get any bigger if the lens rubs it or irritates it?
Has anyone had the surgery for pinguecula removal in Australia? What was the cost?
Does anyone else with a pinguecula wear contact lenses?

Don't know what pinguecula is check this outhttp://www.dcareaeyecare.com/pinguecula_article.html

My little sister fainted the other day at school (she's 11), after cutting her finger by accident. Apparently it is quite common for kids to faint after quite minor wounds, the sight of blood etc. Its the first time it's happened to her though. She was only unconsious for a few seconds but was convulsing. Is that normal? I don't want to make a big deal out of it and worry her if it is not important. It didn't sound like epilepsy to me - this is the only time something like that has happened and there was an reason (of sorts) for the fainting. Is there anything to worry about?

Somebody at my work place passed out, and they don't have any history of blood pressure problems or anything. As a matter of fact, his most recent physical was just a couple of months ago, and his doctor said he was fine. When he came to, he said he had struck his elbow on one of the shelves in the office. He had the cold sweats and a pale complexion, but then seemed fine. I've never heard of that . . .

I am afraid that my boyfriend has given me HPV...or some type of STD. He has had 10 partners in his lifetime which I consider to be a lot and I am pretty sure he has not used protection with all of them. I love him but I do not want to subject myself to diseases or whatever else he may have considering how rampant std's are nowadays. I don't know what to do. Should I leave because of my fear or stick it out?
