How does anyone start to find cures for diseases and illnesses? do they test a bunch of random chemicals and ingrediants to see what works?

I know that sounds really gross, but that's what I'm calling what I want to do. I want to know how to expell some thought (or really anything, like an obsession or an experience) out of my head. In this case, I want to get rid of thoughts of a certain guy before it's too late and it becomes an obsession. thanks!

My roommate hasn't had a period in a little over 5 years. She is 57 years old. She pased a few large clots after having sex and is now having a period again. She was told by a doctor, that after having gastric bypass surgery, that her " clock was re set and She could start having periods again. Is this possible ?

3 weeks ago I had alot of urinating and pain and 2 small clots came out. The little bit of blood lasted only 2 hours and was gone. However, 3 weeks later I still have pain when I urinate. It is sore when I first start and at the end of the urination. Seems when I push down to allow the urine to flow then at the end when I ease up.Anyone have a clue what is going on?

Argh I started my period today! A whole week early! My first day ( today ) is pretty light but my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th are really heavy. I have a huge concert I have been waiting to go to for almost 3 months on friday which is one of my heavy days! :-( I just got some of those Always Maximum Protection with wings pads and I plan to wear one of those. Has anyone used those or know how well they hold up and do you think they would work/be fine to use? Or does anyone know of a better pad to use?

p.s. : i dont like or use tampons

My period isn't due for about a week and I am having bad cramps and I'm not sure if they are implantation cramps or what they are. I don't get cramps a week before my period starts and ususally I'm a couple days late then I get cramps the day I'm due till I get it. So I'm not sure what my body is doing. If anyone has been through this before I would love your input. Thanks.

Today when i got off the bus my left knee started to hurt really bad but my right knee was perfectly ok. At one point the pain was so bad i could hardly walk. It lasted 5-10 minutes and it went away but hurt when i went up steps. I could walk with no problem but the pain was so bad i could hardly continue. Now it seems to have come back but not as bad. I had wondered whether it was a nerve getting squeezed by something. Does anyone know what this could be? I'm 18 in case that helps.
thanks

How can I gain the confidence to ask my mom to go to the dermatologist? I have moderate acne on my face and really want to go to the dermatologist to get a prescription because over-the-counter stuff hasn't had any effect. How should I approach the situation in asking my mom? Thanks guys for any help.

okay, i'll admit, i chew gum a lot but this time i got caught chewing it in Mrs. Belks class, and I wasn't even chewing it! It was at the top of my mouth! She has XRay vision i bet..
anyways. She gave me a theme which is where you have to type half a page on why you will never chew gum again, and this is what i have so far.

Theme--Chewing Gum
There are many pros and cons to chewing gum. Chewing gum stimulates salivation, which helps neutralize the acid produced by bacteria, possibly, it can help mental concentration . Vigorous chewing uses up 11 calories an hour, which may help weight loss, fractionally. It can be a substitute for smoking – especially nicotine-containing gum – and it’s helpful in equalizing air pressure in the middle ear when flying.
Here’s the downside. Too much chewing wears the enamel on the teeth. Spearmint gum can stimulate stomach acid secretion, which may cause individual problems.

I need some more cons...helpp! thanks! ♥

I have been going through this for a while now, and decided to have common sense enough to ask here. How would you hide an embarrassing erection? I usually were blue jeans, and rarely do I become erect because of sexual stimulation, it happens at random times of the day, and it is awful to have in the middle of class. Any tips?

Recently I've started to feel a strange pain in the bottom of my foot. Every now and then it feels like there's a thorn in my foot, when there isn't, in which case it hurts to walk on that foot. Most of the time, however, when I walk it feels sore, and as if there's a rubber band on the bottom of my foot and it hurts a bit to walk. It's not an excruciating pain, but it's a strange feeling...I run a lot (after school, track, cross country...), in case that might help... Does anyone know what it could be?

thanks!
