I am thinking of going on depo-provera, the birth control shot...but am pretty hesitant about it because I have heard it causes infertility, MAJOR weight gain, and lots of other terrible side effects. However, the fact that you only have to have one once every 3 months is very appealing to me. What do you guys know about the shot. Have you experienced any of the above side effects?

Because of my sleeping problem, I missed todays doctors apt for the 2nd or 3rd time,I fear when I call them later today they won't take me,the alarm didn't go off,and I shut down my pc before retiring ,but it isn't acting right and stayed on ,so people were calling me to get me awake,but couldn't get through. Can some one in the know tell me the best thing to say, to be seen? I have possibly serious halth problems.

Has anyone used Yaz? I'm thinking of switching from Ortho tri-cyclen LO to Yaz. Anything good or bad to say about it? I haven't heard much about it except for in the ads. I like how it only has 4 placebos so your period is supposed to be even shorter. I don't want a pill like Seasonique b/c I know I would have break through bleeding and thats just way too aggravatting. Any info would be helpful, I'm going to the Dr this Friday.

Me and a friend are doing an assignment together and i think hes trying to get out of it...although, he has been away for a week and half..
My friend told me that he his blood is not "pure" (not sure what that means) and that hes going to have an operation...the doctors are gonna pump his blood through a filter to "purify it" and they only have 6mins to do it cause of brain damage issues...thats why he cant help me with assignment...

Do you think hes trying to get out of it?..does the operation he "claims" hes having actually exist cause i heard somewhere that after 3-4mins u get brain damage if there is no blood supply to the brain?????????

I don't like the intense effect of the whole pill. Can I just break it in half and feel the less intense effect? Or is this not recommended?

I've been allergy tested to death and react to nothing except the control allergen. My doc says that 90% of the time they never find a cause for the hives, but 90% of the time, they go away on their own within 5 years.

He gave me a topical cream to use, but geez, sometimes I'm covered from head to toe! And of course the more I scratch, the more the hives spread.

Anybody have any natural or herbal remedies to ease the itching of hives?

One of my friends overtime became a drug addict. When shooting heroin one time he said he borrowed the needle from a drug dealer, who meant to give him another one. The one he used was used before by someone who had hepatitis b and aids. he is afraid to go see a doctor because he hasn't told his parents yet. Is there any chance he may not have aids? I am really scared about this and am not joking. It has been two weeks since this happened. If he doesn't tell his parents soon, should I tell them?

I know this person who has PTSD and they would like to work. they go alright for a few weeks but they dont complete anything and often have issues with other employees. Will this behaviour continue or is there a drug that will tone down the symptoms and make them more employable. They seem to have a complex form
