I want to eat 500-600 calories a day and take supplements (vitamins, minerals, blah blah blah) for an experiment I'm doing but the only problem is "starvation mode". I mean if I get all the nutrients I need will I go into stavation mode? I plan to exercise to keep my metabolism stable and eat protein (for my muscles) and enough carbs for energy (no low carbing, I love oatmeal). Will my body really eat all my muscle and leave the fat? REAL answers please, oh and details<3

Ok, I'm a first time pill user and I've been on seasonique for about 2 months now and I keep getting random bleeds especially a week before my "pill period". I am doing what my gyno suggested to make the pack last longer by taking the pills for 3 weeks and then just not taking the pills for a week and then starting again, so I'm treating it like it's a normal pill instead of the intended use of Seasonique to have 4 periods a year by taking it for 3 months straight. anyway, I don't know if it's because I'm doing it this way or what, but it's so annoying to just bleed randomly..it's not very much, but it's enough to drive a girl crazy! Also, (although it's kind of embarrassing), my breasts are really tender ALL the time! It hurts to go jogging (which I used to do all the time), no matter how supportive my sports bra is. Anyone have similar experiences? I don't know if I should wait it out or if I should switch to a different pill. I've heard it takes 3 months for your body to get used it

The pain was intense for the first 5 minutes, then subsided, but the swelling was great. It happened on the outside of my ankle, now both sides are swollen. Bruising left a few weeks ago. There is minimal tightness now and very little discomfort, however the swelling just won't go all the way down. Could this just be a 3rd degree sprain and I'm being to impatient for it to fully heal? In the past when I've sprained an ankle, it's never taken this long, although the pain was greater this time.

I just turned 45 and really have no idea what middle age is supposed to look like or act like. My daughter tells me I act more like a teen-ager than an adult sometimes. I am the one who starts the water fights and snowball fights. People tell me that I don't look like I'm 45.

My boyfriend's had a toenail fungus for over 3 years, and hasn't done a whole lot except try one fungus pill that he found on Ebay. It looks pretty black, it's short and spikey. It doesn't grow at all and it keeps getting shorter. Should we even try Lamisil or is it too late? Is removing the nail and option and if so how does that look? Will it ever grow back into place?

Okay, I'm 22 and have had my period for about 11 years now. When I was in high school I was told that a woman is on a 28 day cycle. I recently read that a womans cycle can be anywhere from 22 days to 30 days. So my question is, if there was 22 days between my period a month ago, should I expect it to be that length again or will it differ? I have just recently started tracking my periods.

Well near the end of school today,it felt like I'd gotten my period or something and a lot of blood had came out, (i've already had my period for maybe half a year?) and i went to the bathroom to check,my underwear were practically stuck to me and I had to pull them off which hurt a little bit.There was SO much blood,soaked through my underwear,even though I obviously just started it today and there never is that much in about 15 minutes of time.Then I didn't have a pad so I used toilet paper,when I was home I checked and again there was a ton of blood and it was really thick and gooey.I'm kind of scared.I dont know what it would be,I'm only 12 havent had sex or anything so its not like a disease from that.What is it?I mean it was just a lot of blood and I dont know why it was so thick and gooey like that by the time I check it half solid whats wrong with me???
And im too afraid to go to the dr (my mom would make me if I told her)i like have a fear of drs,so please dont tell me to go

I just curious about all the hype on lead being in all these toys. If there is lead in them then I guess there is lead, but I could just imagine how harmful toys etc. was when I was younger. Are toys being made of different plastics or whatever from back in the day? or are we just checking on the health risk of toys more thoroughly today? I would like to see some solid proof that thing are worse now then they once were 20,30,50 years ago.

So for the past two years, it seems as if every time I try to hold a conversation with my mom she tries to point out the wrong in whatever i have to say. It could be over the smallest things. For instance, I come to her with a simple question and before she hears what I have to say she raises her voice and replies "what kind of mess are you getting into now?" This goes on everyday, and it's really driving me crazy! What can I do?
