I did it 48h ago with 6% hydrogen peroxide from my dentist. I was shocked at first as the fluorosis was much more obvious and previously invisible areas had become evident. Things have settled a bit but the white patches are still much more prominent than before. Would really appreciate any advice.

iam 16 and recently found out i have mrkh, i have ovaries but my vagina and uterus are small as they didnt develop. i will have to have treatment like use a dialator.
i havent told my friends they all assume i have started my period and id rather it stay that way there is no need for them to know right now.
iam actually ok with it and am dealing with it ok.
its wierd i always had an inkling that i would never start my period. but i know iam going to have children whether it be adoption or genestation surrogacy.
rather than feeling down about it i feel lucky that i have ovaries so i can have my own children and that i dont have a life threatening disease. obviously it would alot simpler if everything was fine but its not.
i was just wandering if anyone has the same thing?

How exactly does a rabies vaccine work? Let's say my cat got a rabies vaccine when he was young. Does that rabies vaccine protect him for the rest of his life, when updated with booster shots? If he has his rabies shot, but isn't quite up to date on his booster could he still be rabies carrier? If you know anything about this, please respond. Thanks! =)

I have a tibial stress fracture on my right leg. I think I got it in August from the treadmill but it wasn't diagnosed until mid-October. When I first had it, it would only hurt if I accidentally pushed on it. Then it got to the point where it would hurt when I would work (I work at a hair salon and am on my feet all day). I went to THREE doctors and none of them could figure out what the problem is except for one. I got a bone scan and it was definite that I had a stress fracture. The doctor told me to wear a boot for when I work and that should help, but it got worse. I havent healed one bit. So now I'm on a strict routine of crutches. I've stopped working for the two weeks leading up to my next appointment, but I STILL feel no difference and my leg continues to hurt worse than it did before. I dont understand why it's not getting ANY better since I've been off my feet more than I ever have. Has anybody else had this problem?

I was diagnosed,with depression 3ys ago and I'm suffering from it wrost than ever. it started when my aunt died and then my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. She cancer free now and ive convinced my mom that im feeling better and i try to hide being depressed from her because im afraid that i am stressing her out and ,i know its ridiculous, but i think that stressing her out will make her cancer come back. is there any way to get counseling without letting her know so that she won't worry or do i need her consent, if not, is there anything i can do on my own to make myself feel better. i keep thinking something bad will happen to me or my mom and its hard to come up with good excuses for why im missing school and i really think that i can help my self because i know that every thing is just in my head i just need some help. Im 16 yrs old. thanks in advance for answers

I need a circumsicion and they've told me it will cost around $8.000-10.000, just because my co-pay is sky-high.
How could they take advantage of poor people in need????

My mom has a friend who was originally a client from her business and she was diagnosed with breast cancer a month ago.
My mom doesnt know what to write, should she not mention it at all..that would be kind of ignorant...
should she write that she appreciates her friendship and that if she needs anything, she'll be there to help her, to (try) to enjoy the holidays and the new year will bring new things.
this woman has a 13 year old daughter, so shes very depressed besides having cancer...

I'm normal weight for my height (6'2" 200 lbs).
The bowel movements tend to be slightly unpleasant smelling like poop usually is, but not "foul smelling" like I've read about on the Internet.
They are mostly soft and dark in color.

I seriously have had to get the plunger THREE times this week on two different toilets.

I have a prescription for hydrocodone. I just got it filled last week, but I would like to get it refilled right away because I am going out of town and my pharmacy doesn't have a branch anywhere near where I'm going. (In fact, I'm going to a very rural place where its going to be a big hassle to get to ANY pharmacy.) The prescription was written "take 1 pill every 6 hours as needed for pain" and the quantity was 60 with 2 refills. Doing the math, if I took one every six hours I would run out 15 days after I first got it filled.

When I realized that this is going to be a problem, I took it to the pharmacy and asked them if they could refill it but they said no. This was only a few days after it was written. I am not submitting this to insurance, so its the rules made by the pharmacy or the government that I need to know. Thanks in advance.
