Health - 8 November 2007

Here's the situation: I went to the gyno a few weeks ago so that I can start birth control. She gave me "Loestrin 24" and told me to begin taking it at the start of my next period. My period began this past sunday, and so I took my first pill very late sunday night. I took it late monday and tuesday night, and carelessly forgot to take it at all on wednesday. I realized this when I woke up thismorning (thursday) at 6:00, and took it immediately to compensate for last night, and plan on taking it again late tonight. Here's my concern- throughout the week while taking the b/c my period has been VERY light, almost non existant; today It was extremely heavy. Is this due to the fact that I missed a pill? Should it lighten up again once I'm back on track?

My daughter is 18 but unable to work. She is Bipolar, Manic depressive, OCD, and has panic disorder. How can I find information on possibly putting her on disability?

Well, just a little background so you can help me.

I'm a single mother living with my mentally ill daughter. She's 18 but not able to hold a job. We are severely struggling financially. I work full time but can't get another job because of my daughter's frequent doctors, therapists, and psychiatrists visits. Also need to be with her at night. Lots of bad luck have come our way lately. We've been fighting foreclosure, our water heater needed to be replaced, our garage door broke, and not to mention that each of my daughter's medications cost $40.00 a month each if not more. I don't even know how we will be able to afford Christmas this year.

Are there any grants or public aids that I may qualify for? Food stamps even? Anything to help if even a little.

Where can I go for this information?

Is there a website with a list of grants/public aid and their qualifications?

I NEED A WEBSITE LISTING FINANCIAL HELP AND HOW TO GET IT. Please help me. Thanks in advance.

I recently quit drinking coffee and I never drink cola. I find I feel sleepy all day and I am not alert. Is there anything "natural" that will do the job?

There is something wrong with my eyes, I think it may be to do with my 'condition' (I'm anorexic. I weigh 6 stone/84 pounds and am 5'7"). I'm getting worried. My eyes are blood shot, I think it's called, and I have purple/pinkish coloured circles and bags around my eyes. Are they infected or something? Could this lead to something serious? What can I do to get rid of them? My skin is horrible and pale at the moment so they really show up, and it's not nice at all. I tried eyedrops and drinking water to detox, but that hasn't worked.

My doctor told me to take 3200 mg's of fish oil a day + my antidepressant for depression. I didn't take the fish oil for a year because the burping-fish taste is so bad. I started taking it again two weeks ago right after my evening meal and I feel really great. Does anyone else have this experience?

I kind of told a little lie to get a day off from school. My stomach actually has been hurting lately but I would have been fine at school. I kind of just wanted a day off to relax because I've been stressed lately. Is it bad to sort of lie even though my parents (hopefully) won't care and won't find out?

I have had 2 joint replacements due to AVN (a disease that causes bone to die and the joint to collapse). Now I'm having the same thing in a new joint (hip). The MRI showed " mild femoral head collapse." My GP said that there was no collapse and no fracture...well, there isn't a fracture (yet) but there is partial collapse. He said to stay off my feet for 3 weeks and in 1 week we will get xrays and 2 weeks after that, another set of xrays.

Question: Has anyone dealt with this? I trust my GP TOTALLY and he spent a LOT of time on me over the past 2 yrs and is only going by what the Ortho and MRI doc said. I told him about it saying there was a partial collapse and he was PISSED cuz that's not what he was told.

In any case I have this dam*ed AVN again and I was wondering if anyone could give me a bit of support on this....support groups are filled with hundreds of people and I can't deal with that. What to do???? Thanks for any advice/sympathy you may have. I'm just scared.

I have googled, been on Web MD, online dictionary, etc. Michael Jackson was once referred to as this. All I can remember is that the word possible started with a "M".

I had sex with my bf the same day i took my last white birth control pill. the previous month i didnt have a period because i took 2 birth control packs in a row, i did this on purpose so i wouldnt get it because of a wedding. should i be worried that i only bled a tiny bit for one day? i've been on the pill for 4 years and was on the last pill of a pack when i had sex, so i'm not sure if pregnancy could be an option, or maybe just weird cycle?
