I am a final year med student and have decided to use part of what free time is available to me to offer advice to anyone who feels they have a genuine problem. Please DO NOT waste my precious time by putting forward questions which you KNOW to be NOT genuine.If I feel this is what you have done I will not answer them.
Owing to the nature of my work, my time on here is limited, although I may show as on line. Please feel free to ask me a question, however, I apologise if my answer is not immediate, but rest assured, it will be a genuine one.

i babysit little kids, and i think its really fun, but the ppl i babysit for are moving. and its stinks, i have no business and i really need the money (link)
|
If the couple you have been babysitting for are pleased with the way you cared for their children, why not ask them to give you a personal reference for future use with other families who maybe don't know you. It could work wonders.
At least that way when you advertise your services, you can add "excellent reference provided".
A little outside my area here, but just a thought.

Okay, well I've been going to a workout camp for three weeks, and already I see great improvement in my speed, strength, and endurance. The only thing, is that WHILE I'm working out, my back sweats really bad, and completely soaks the back of my shirt! It seriously grosses me out and it is not too much fun when you're stuck with a wet shirt for a lot of the day. What can I do? (link)

Any strenuous excercise which exerts your cardiovascular system will cause you to sweat. It's perfectly natural, your body's way of cooling down. Short of taking a shower to refresh yourself, there is little you can do to prevent it.

ok so im the one who was curious about abortion even though there is only a very slim chance i can be pregnent (the boy could have gotten ejaculation on his hands, im not sure then he fingered me)
well, someone mentioned the morning after pill. i can just walk into plan parenthood and they will just give it to me? can someone tell me how it works? (link)
|
I am not sure how the morning after pill works in the USA, In Britain, where I am, you are required to sign a form, stating when your last period was, the name and address of your Doctor. You sign one part and the other is forwarded to you GP.
It is NOT a pill that is handed out like candy.
It works by activating certain hormones in your body which will cause a premature period, thus expelling the embryo.It is also extremely painful.

thank you for replying to me.
i'm female,21.
well im ill anyway, i got ill when i was 17 and got worried about my last boyfriend alot.
but the washing hands thing started when i was about 19 or 20.
My voice in my head which tells me bad things will happen if i dont do certain things started when i was about 20, thats when i started noticing it alot and i think its got worse since ive had a new boyfriend (since january.) (link)
|
I am assuming here that you think you may be ill because you recognise the thing's that you are doing,ie frequently hand washing, as possibly slightly irrational.
What you may be suffering from sounds to me like acute anxiety. Do you have deep seated worries that you may be keeping to yourself? Pent up emotion's over a long period of time take their toll. Your body needs a release valve which may manifest itself in the kind of behaviour you describe.
I DO urge you to see your Doctor and tell him/her how you are feeling. You will NOT be laughed at, neither will you be sectioned which I think you are afraid of.
Let me know how you get on.

hi, i dont know if you know about obsesive compulsive disorders but if you do then i'd really like your help.
I dont know what to do because mine is interfering with everyday life and makes me very anxious and upset.
i have the one where i wash my hands alot when making food which sounds normal but it is extreme.
the one thats the worst though is i have to say "take care, i love you" to my boyfriend alot and especially when he goes out, which sounds ok but i have to keep saying it until it feels right and make him keep saying it too, if i dont do it then i feel awful and think someone will kill him or he'll die in a car accident and it will be all my fault because i didnt say those words.
Also, if i'm in the kitchen or something i get a voice (my voice) in my head that tells me to do something like put a spoon in a certain place or put something in the bin etc or something tragic will happen to my boyfriend or another of my worst fears will happen, if i try to ignore it then my voice in my head starts screaming at me to do it and i get worried and cant decide what to do cos part of me knows bad things wont happen just because i dont do a certain thing but at the same time i darnt risk it and get myself into such a state and get bad anxiety and panic and get upset.
sorry its so long, i just really worried about my mental heath and scared i'll have to take tablets or be sectioned or something. (link)

Hello,
First of all, your particular problem is quite common, and certainly not a condition you will be sectioned for.
I'd like to ask you a couple of questions first if I may, before I offer you further advice.
What age are you?
As far as you are aware, how long have you been feeling like this?
|
|
its lasted like..about.. well, a long time. sooo, wut meds should i take? heh kinda stupid question and i cud ask like my parents or w/e but they're not really here for me to ask them right now. and uh.. well, heh cud it be cuz of the computer? cuz i seem to get it while i'm infront of a certain computer, or.. ehh, well anyway it hurts alot. so.. anything i could do about it other than taking meds? (link)

You need to see your Doctor. In all probablity the reasons for your headache are harmless, although it's fairly unusual for a headache to persist for any lengh of time if you are not prone to suffering from them.
When did you last have an eye sight test? It may also be that you need glasses.
Either way,although I could suggest various pain relievers, you first need to establish the probable cause, and the sonner the better.

ok..well i know a lot of you will be wondering why im asking this. Its because my bf and I were messing around and after i gave him a handjob he fingered me and i dont know if he got cum on his hands ..i know i know..slim to none chance im pregnent but anyways..just got me thinking of aboruion soo...
is abotion legal in new york?
if im under 18 do i have to have a parent with me?or just someone who is 18?
how much does it cost?
how bad does it hurt if you have had experience
i dont want to hear lectures..just some facts..5's for helpful people (link)

The chances of you conceiving a baby in this way are extremely small,although not impossible. You did not mention your age. Do any of your friends have an older sister whom you could trust to buy a home pregancy test kit for you?
I strongly suspect however that you would get a negative result.
Until you know for sure, it's too early to be considering abortion, and on this subject, the decision would be yours and yours alone. NEVER listen to moralists who tell you it is murder, it isn't them who have to carry the burden of a child which wasn't planned or wanted.
I wish you well.

hi my underwear yellows really fast what should i do and I change my underwear constantly
please hely (link)
| |
I am appalled by the answers you have so far been given. There is nothing "normal" about a yellow discharge. It is a sign of infection which will require anti-biotics. See your Doctor without delay.

Ever since I was a baby, my face has always been chubby, even though the rest of me isn't. Not that Nicole Richie had a fat face before, but I've noticed her face has become a lot slimmer after she lost all of that weight. So i was wondering, how much weight would i need to lose for my face to be noticebly slimmer as well? (I'm 16, 5'6", and 125 lbs)
(link)
|
I do not advise you to try losing weight. You would need to shed too much to make any difference to your face. At your age your body is still developing in various way's, including skeletal. Dont rush thing's, there is still time for your face to alter naturally, unless of course it's in your genetic makeup to look as you do.
Stop worrying.

what is STD and how do u get and is it bad (link)
|
STD - Sexually Transmitted Disease of which there are several, most of which are easily treatable with anti-biotics. A vaginal discharge is the main symptom. Chlamydia can cause pain and sterility in females if left untreated.
You should ALWAYS use a condom if you are having casual sex with different partners.
If you are in any doubt at all whether you may contracted an STD, DO see your Doctor for advice, he/she is NOT permitted to discuss you with your parents should you be under age.

(link)

Move on. This relationship clearly never was, and in all probablity never will be. It isn't a question of you going back to him, you never were a "couple" in that sense. If he were interested in a serious relationshop with you, don't you think he would have told you long before now? He's even tried to show you that by going with another girl. This is about you, ignore advice from your friend's.
