my mother a few weeks ago was diagnosed with osteoporosis cancer, which is a very late in development and she was given a couple of weeks to live. the doctors told me that she can survive at the most a few weeks if i put her on a machine that pumps her blood for her but it will be very painful for her while she is awake and she wont even be able to move or talk. he also said that i could just pull the plug on her and let her go peacefully even though i would technically be killing her. i don't want to kill my mom and i don't want her to die slowly and painfully but her husband is dead and i have to make the choice soon. what should i do, I know I shouldn’t make my mom die slowly and painfully but I can’t let her go.

i have asked already a few times but nothing has worked or even mildly helped for that matter. other than the obvious like votamins, tea, lozenges and vocal rest, what can get me my voice back the fastest?

Exactly what the title states...is it normal to feel slight tenderness in your vaginal area while you're on your period? If not, what's wrong with me and if yes, what causes the tenderness?

I've been on the pill for over a year, and sometimes experience breakthrough bleeding..
I have been spotting fresh, bright blood for almost a week now, and cramping as I would before I get my period - the spotting began a few days after I last had sex with my boyfriend.
I wouldn't normally get my period until Tuesday, but I'm really nervous that this is implantation bleeding. Are there any distinctions between implantation bleeding and a regular period?

My index finger my middle finger and my ring finger was all swollen my friend said pull them all really really hard and it will pop back into place. I did that It hurt really bad but the index finger and the ring fingers swelling went down. But I pulled the middle finger over and over and over again and it just hurt worse and worse.

Last week I went to my primary doctor because I was having a lot of pain in my right side and trouble breathing. They did a chest xray and found a spot which they were concerned might be a blood clot. I was sent to the ER for CT scans. They scanned both my abdomen (in case kidney stones were causing some of the pain) and my lungs. I was told I had pneumonia and a UTI/bladder infection (which caused my fever, a high white blood cell count, and blood in my urine supposedly). I was sent home with antibiotics. I still have some pain in my back, but I'm feeling better. I just received a voicemail today from a follow up nurse in the ER saying that I need to contact her as soon as possible to discuss some "addtional results" that came back from my CT scans. Unfortunately they aren't in until Monday and I am scared out of my mind. Can anyone tell me what are some of the things it could be? Wouldn't anything serious have shown up on first review?

Hey Im 13 years old, and 105 pounds and 5'3. I used to weigh 115 pounds. I weighed 115 about 1 week ago. I stopped eating lunch, and I ate about 500 calories a day. I excersized a lot, and ate no chocolate/candy and had very little soda, but if i did have soda, it would have been diet. Did I do everything right?
I want to get down to 93 pounds. How much longer do you think I should use this diet to get to 93?

I have steel rods in my legs from an accident years ago, and now that it's getting colder i'm in terrible pain. I take tylenol so often i'm afraid it will damage my liver. Has anyone had great success with severe joint pain with an OTC med? I can't take prescription painkillers (I was addicted to them for a long time, had to break the habit) and the prescription non narcotic meds are so expensive. Any help please?

Yes we use lots of lube. I'm pretty sure i'm not allergic to the condoms. It hurts the most when he first enters and then it hurts deep inside. Soemtimes it's like a burning sensation. We have to stop in the middle sometimes because I can't take it. It's always been like this and I started having sex about 2 months ago. Could it still be my hymen? It's definately not an STD. I could make a gyno appointment, but i'm scared because I've never seen one.

Okay, so I've been diagnosed with Epilepsy in the end of September. I go to a British School in America, and it's my first year there (Year 9 which is 8th grade).

It's been hard coping with this Epilepsy. And since the past month or so, I've been having anxiety issues.

However, I do not know exactly why I get anxious or what triggers it.

Sometimes, when I feel like things are being told to me too quickly, or too much information is being told to me. Even if it's just a teacher talking in class. I feel like I need to get up and leave for a while.

And most of the time I end up crying.

Other times, it's when I have a seizure, and when people ask me what's wrong, I just burst out crying...

But I'm still confused as to why this happens.

My mom knows about it.

Three of my close teachers (who I trust) know about it.

They all tell me to figure out why I get anxious.

But I don't know why.


How can I figure out why I get anxious???

(My schools' small; 4 people in my grade).

Thursday I broke my nose for the third time. First time was in a bad car accident, second time was sliding headfirst into home and colliding with the catcher, and third was tripping over my poodle and face planting into a wall.

I want to hear your broken nose stories. Best one wins 10 points! ;)

So I understand that while high their are clear short-term memory losses, but after extensively searching I have yet to find anything regarding the effects of marijuana on learning that has occured prior to usage. For example, if you study all day, and then smoke (granted you leave at least an hour for what you learned to process before you start), what is the effect of that marijuana on your brain's ability to retain and imprint the learned material, and specifically, how might it affect the long-term storage which occurs as you sleep. Any help in the right direction would be useful--I never used to smoke after studying because I imagined there might be some adverse affect, but I have tried on a series of occasions now and I haven't noticed any differences. And for those of you (I know there will be some) who are tempted to answer my question with an inane comment about how bad weed is, I attend a top university and have near perfect grades, with an active social life, so hah. =P

with me?
ive had paranoia for a long time, im a great trauma, abuse and bullying survivor to. i have borderline personality disorder.
ive never made any friends in life at all. because of the problems ive had socially and having low self esteem.

the few friends ive made which are 1 or 2 online, have not made contact for weeks,. i already feel as though im being ostracized and singled out by people, which ive felt for a long time...and the fact that the few good people ive met online have just stopped contacting me.......im thinking theyve been told to discontinue contact and have been told to avoid me....

this is making me angry and depressed and more isolated than i already feel....

ive begun to isolate myself, have bad anxiety and panic everyday...i have bleak low moods everyday..

how can i handle the fact that everybody i seem to discover always leaves me....and maybe the fact theyve been told to stay away, not get involved?
