I was on Loestrin 24 for 6 months, but i got my periods very heavy and a lot of cramsps, so now my doctor switched me to Femcon. I havent heard of anyone on this before, if anyone has had experience with this please tell me.

Also the next step if this birth control doesnt work is Mirena, it is an IUD.

Let me know if you know about either of these....thanks

I've found this to be true for me, and many of my friends, not to mention reviews by others online.

What gives? With the side effects either getting in the way of recovery or drugs simply not being effective at all, I get annoyed that the pharmaceutical companies act like these are solutions when people spend years trying to find the 'right' meds... and so many never even get there!

And why to a lot of the meds seem to increase the common symptoms of depression and anxiety as side effects and when you are coming off of them! Craziness!

Any of these things alone is enuf to have people get their mental health issues more challenging to deal with, when they are told by counselors who can't help them, 'try medications'...

i'm not saying that medicines don't help anybody, or that people should go off them if they're on them, but the people i know & myself have had a hella time, plus those internet reviews! it doesn't help that a lot of the drugs are barely tested for not long b4 market!

I was in a MVA. I have really really tight muscles and have a hard time doing what I used to do. I have had to quit my job and take a stay at home job. I have been seeing an acupunctureist 3 times a week for 6 months. I do not feel any better. I did PT for the first 3 months and have had the same results, nothing. Is there anything else I can do? The MRI was negative, and the x-rays of the spine show nothing wrong. Please do not refer me to other doctors. I have already been to two. I just want to know medically if there is anything else that can be done?

Molly, my out of control cat bit me several times as I was trying to stop her from chewing up my books. It's red. It has like welt spots, sort of like ant bites surrounding the actual bites. And there are scratches. I cleaned it up, and put neosporin on it because I have no hydrogen peroxide. But it's still bleeding a little. I also have no bandages. I guess you can say, I have no first aid kit! My question is how do I treat the cuts? And also, I have no car so I am unable to get tenanus shot over the next two days until someone can take me.

Ok so I haven't had my period in 3 months. I am 100% possitive that I am not pregnate. I'm 17 and have been having my period for 5 years. Then in April I skipped until June and then now I haven't had it since Sept. What might be causing this? What should I do about it? Should I be worried?

Okay, like many of you I've packed on some pounds well actually 15-20 pounds. I know shame on me, you don't have to say that since my hubby and his family feel its logical to talk about my weight gain. Anyway, I'm going to start working out on my treadmill again. How long would you say would be a good amount of time to work out on a threadmill to see results within a month? I'm going to a wedding at the end of next month and I need to get on shape and keep myself on shape. I understand dieting is important but my body losses weight with exercise. Any answers will help...please no sarcasm. Thanks!

My brother is 54 yrs old and was just diagnosed with prostate cancer with a Gleason score of 5. His PSA was 4.25. The biopsy showed that he only had traces of cancer on the right side of his prostate and it was limited to that area. He is in excellent health and very active, and has not shown any signs of any urinary problems.

He is considering the treatment option of "watchful waiting". What are your thoughts on this vs possibly robotic surgery? Some doctors prefer surgery when the patient is this young. Thanks for your inputs on this.

So I was recently diagnosed with PCOS but my OB/GYN didn't think my weight was a problem, yet, because i've always been pretty petite. however, I have gained 8 pounds in the last 4 months, and the doctor thinks this is just normal teenage weight gain.

But I've had really terrible (tee hee) gas, as in, constant burping/passing wind (oh god is it embarrassing), and i did some research online and it said that intestinal gas is a symptom of insulin resistance (IR), which can be caused/related to PCOS, correct?

does anyone know anything about this?

I do have the following symptoms for IR (checked other sites)

1) Craving for carbs (major binges after school sometimes)
2) Sleepiness after binging (i pass out for a couple hours if i do give in to my cravings)
3) general fatigue/depression. This might just be because I'm in highschool and we don't get sleep anyways.
4) and of course, the hellas gas.
