i have a very irregular cycle. always have. when i was 17 i was put on ortho ticyclin after having my period for 6 months straight. it helped for a while, but then i started getting my period for a full month, sometimes 2. i was put on necon, but after 6 months my period once again never stopped. back to ortho tricyclin. i was on that for a while, eventually it started messing up again. i would get my period then be off for a week, then get it again until i was SUPPOSED to get it, and this would happen month after month after month. last febuary i was put on zovia. it worked wonders for a while. not even once having break-thru bleeding. but, over the past 4 months its gone back to its 1 week off, continue bleeding until the next period starts.
its driving me crazy. i found out it runs in my family. i just reciently had my thyroid tested to rule that out, its fine. i'm just going nuts with this, and the cost of tampons!!! anyone have anything like this? what do you take?

Ive got really wide feet. Can i get them smaller? Is it all to do with testosterone or weight? Is it true that you can make your feet smaller by losing weight?

I'm 16 years old and I have always had a reletively happy, peaceful life. Until my dad lost his job, it sent our family into major financial. Anyways, I started getting panic attacks. I worried that I would "have a heart attack" , but eventually I realized this was not going to happen and I was able to overcome the panic attacks.

My dad, who I have always looked up to as being stable and reliable, starting getting depressed. He announced a week before christmas that he wanted to leave my mom, so there has been nothing but fighting in my house. On christmas DAY they had a huge fight. I have had nothing but stress over christmas.

Anyways, to get down to the point of what is bothering me, i have an intense fear of going crazy or suddenly losing control and losing touch with reality, and when I think of that it sends me into a panic attack. Although I know the chances of this are slim, I think about it from the moment I wake up to the moment i go to bed i worry about this.

I am 20 years old, 6'1", 165 lbs. I have been lifting weights for a few years now and have taken many different types of creatine, little bit of protein when I first started as well.

Well like I said I just bought a 10lb bag of whey protein to start taking because I figure this will be the best way to bulk up instead of creatine. I was just wondering, how many servings do I take of it a day? It's 24 grams of protein in one serving and it says it has 155 servings in it.

Thanks a lot.

I recently heard that aspartame can cause lots of health problems. Is that a myth or is it really true?

Whenever I get my eyes examined they do the thing where you look at whatever image is there and then they shoot a large amount of air into your eye!
I have to do it about 5 times, because I know what will happen and I close my eye last minute!

Does anyone else have a problem with this?

I have no idea if these are related at all, or if this is something I should even be worried about. The spot on the back of my head doesn't hurt a lot, and if I think of something else I often forget that it's there. However, it's there every day. The headaches happen less often, but I normally have at least 1 or 2 a week.
This has really been worrying me, and I'm just wondering if someone could tell me what this might be? I'm 18 years old and traveling to Germany tomorrow for 2 weeks. Should I be really worried and go to the doctor while I'm there, or will a trip to the doctor in 2 weeks when I get back be ok? Any help is greatly appreciated...

Hi.

I'm 13 (14 in feb) and I got my period last year around this time of the year. I've begun to have basically regular periods. I was just reading another question and someone said that you had to get pap smears annually the year you get your period. But when i went to my check up over the summer they said i didnt have to get one until i was 18. I've also read you dont have to get them until you're sexually active (which im not)
Also, what do you do at the OBG-YN? Does a pap smear hurt?
does anything they do hurt?

IM SCARED!!


thanks
TARA

I start interferon and ribavin two days after a laparoscopy to remove a solid mass on my overy. Is this a realistic timeline since the surgery has a recovery time and there can be really bad side efects from the peginterferon and ribavin?

I am thinking of rhinoplasty because I have an ugly nose and I want it symmetrical.. and maybe lip injection on my upper lip. My friends and family says I'm stupid and I don't need it but I want to believe them but I can't. It's pretty risky...but I really want it.
