What kind of birth control pills, shots, etc. would you recommend? I have tried the Ortho Evra patch, but stopped using it after hearing all of the horror stories.

Recently lost my grandad to a long battle with cancer and have just split up with my long term boyfriend. Am in the middle of a degree which is slipping through my fingers. Anyone got any successful tactics of getting back on the band wagon?

He has a car accident a bout a month ago and had surgery to remove half of his skill to stop brain swellin and to remove some blood of the brain. He was in an induced coma for eleven days and hospital for ninteen out of town. He ids home now and pretty much fully back to his old self! a miricale. He has to return to hospital soon to have the bone put back in. And is thinking hes not going to make it. Is this operation life threatening? we keep telling him hes come though the hard part and that just made him stronger. No way he will die in his next op.

i phoned the mental health helpline earlier, and the lady on the phone was saying it sounds like ive had things very rough in my life......that ive never had the things the majority of people have and take for granted......that id been pushed above and beyond my limit.
how do i cope with that realization that people have done this to me and that ive missed big time?

was she putting salt in the wound, was she rubbing it in, do you think?
i told her that i was 30 had a horrible, traumatic life, that i had borderline personality disorder, that i live alone in a one bedroom flat on benifits.......she said it sounds like all the imput and effort is coming from me and no one is helping me...
i told her id suffered from bullying and victimization the majority of my life....that id never been employed, never been in a relationship....never made any friends...never gained qualifications, all due to my problems
i told her im actively trying to seek help and therapy, but its slow &

The bleeding is bright red and different than the lochia, and I have had no other complications that I am aware of. I had a class two tear, and I have been trying to be careful of my stitches and listen to the doctor's instructions. The pain is usually sharp and sudden, then fades slowly over time. I am trying to determine if I should be concerned, and if it is worthwhile to push for an appointment from the over-busy doctor's office that is covered by my insurance.

For the past few weeks, my teeth have almost killed me every time I've drunken something cooler than body temperature, and everytime I've eaten something sweet, e.g. chocolate. It only seems to be affecting the middle molars - on either side.

I've never had any dental problems before, and have never even needed a filling.

My family and I are on a pretty tight budget at the moment, and really cant afford to go to the dentist for a check-up - as dentitsts are rather expensive here in Australia, and not covered by Medicare.

If you have any suggestions on what may be causing the problem and/or how to fix it, please let me know... Thanks.

Well I understand that it is going to be tough but does anyone have any tips for getting to sleep? I've only been smoking around 4 years now.. since i was 16 and I don't think my mind has been off cigarettes for the last 48 hours. Laying down right now I feel like almost hypervenalating. What did you guys do to help you get to sleep? Why is it that when you quit the only thing you can think of are the bad things and the problems in your life?

My grandpa is on chemo right now and I want to get him something he can use for christmas. He doesn't really like to watch anything right now because it makes him dizzy so no t.v. or reading. What did everybody else do. I thought about books on tape maybe he's very religous and he can't really read his bible right now. It might be too high tech though. He's also having a hard time sleeping. Any ideas?
