Health - 3 December 2007

This has been going on for over a year. Sometimes I am fine, other times I feel terrible. I get head congestion, ear aches and a terrible cough. It's like i have the flu, then not. I am not stressed at all. Blood pressure is normal.

I went to the doctor for the flu, got some penicllin and that didn't seem to help much. Eventually, the flu symptoms dissappeared somewhat. They return on and off.

PLEASE, help!!!

My friend doesn't eat anything green, meaning no vegetables. All he eats is meat, dairy, bread, etc.... he is really healthy... my question is: can you get all the essential nutrients without eating vegetables?

I'm considering to purchase this toothbrush:

Reason being is that it's difficult to get behind my wisdom teeth, and my hand always tends to get tired half-way. Another one of my concern is are the bristles generally hard and can damage gums?

I've read so many medical questions here. Why waste time asking people online about your medical problems when there are doctors who go to school to know what is wrong and how to treat it.

I've had white discharge that smells pretty bad for a week. Could it be an infection? Also, can it be caused by washing my vagina with body wash? And another thing.. I'm 14 and my mom and I haven't really talked about things like that before and I don't know how to tell her. Its pretty embarrassing. I don't have a gynecologist either.... So whats wrong with me and what should I do?

jogged lightly for 20 minutes before breakfast.
breakfast - big bowl of wholegrain cereal + skim milk.
I wasn't hungry at all until lunch..So I didn't bother having my midmorning snack. (why eat if your not hungry??)
then for lunch I had nonfat strawberry yogurt+granola..A kind of big bowl of it, it filled me up anyways. But then after I just grabbed a banana.. not sure why.. lol.
For dinner we're planning on having chicken.. with the skin on. Should I make a separate meal? I've already kinda ate a lot today. Im not hungry..But Im concerned about what I already ate and what I am going to eat. Help?
Oh and should I do more exercise?
Keep in mind I'm 13.. I used to be really chunky but now I'm 125 lbs and 5'3. I don't like exercising too much but I force myself to at least do 20 minutes in the morning. + I do 50 situps, leg-ups and 100 trunk rotations after jogging and again 2 hrs after dinner.

Do not say size doesn't matter cause if a man whooped a 1 inch penis out a girl would laugh and leave. I am just wondering what size a girl mostly prefers.

I have a chest cold. I am miserable, my chest hurts a lot, I have a mild fever, I am VERY tired and my whole body hurts along with that, what can I do? I have to go to school becuase I have already missed too many days, and I don't want to miss tomorrow. Our Biology class is going to the zoo with the seniors. I'll accept anything, I know there are no overnight cures, but I'd like to get to feeling better as soon as I can. :)

I have been on Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo for a long time and never had any problems .. one day my partner and I decided I wasn't going to stay on the pill .. so i quit taking it ... and then I went back on it about a year later .. everything was normal .. then within the past few months I skipped several pills and then I got back on track ...... & then all of a sudden I got my period that lasted for 2 months .. I have never taken the placebo pills .. but I do wait a week before starting a new pack of pills .. so this month when i got to the placebo pills (quit taking the birth control) my period stopped ......... Why is this?
