My mother recently had her thyroids removed (both), and we have a question concerning medicines that she may or may not be able to take.
If you've noticed on some medicines (over-the-counter types such a cold and cough medication, etc.), it says "ask a doctor before use if you have a thyroid disease". Can she take this medication? Technically, she doesn't even have thyroids, so we were confused. I think she plans on asking her doctor at the next visit, but does anyone know about this?
Thanks. (link)

Mom does need to talk to her doctor before taking those meds. I have hypothyroid and take medicine for it. My sister had hers removed and takes meds for that also, as I'm sure your mom does.
Its those meds that are what they are meaning and not her actual thyroid condition. Some medications when mixed with others (especially cold medications)
can cause a rise in blood pressure or other things.
So while it will probably be fine for her to take it she needs to check with her doctor first..or even her pharmacist.

Is there really a Michael Jackson movie coming out? Mom said it was coming out in October for only two weeks in theatres everywhere. Is she just pulling my leg since I totally love Michael Jackson or is it for real? (link)
| |
Yes there is one coming out. I believe most of it is his rehearsals for the concert he didn't get to do.

Hi,
I am a 17f. Theres this guy I met and have known for several months. He is 18 and he is the absolute sweetest guy ever, which is why I like him. We have hung out a few nights and cuddled a little. The problem is, I know he has another girl that he feels strongly for. He told me about her and hes told me he loves me, but its not the same love that he has for this other girl. Then he tells me later that he just loves me. He also said he wants to kiss me to see if theres 'a spark', I didnt think that would be right so I didnt let him. I dont want to get closer to him, expecially knowing he has another girl. Everyone thinks we are dating and I keep telling them NO WE ARE NOT. I think I really like him, Im just unsure. I think hes unsure as well. He makes me feel like I have never felt before, but I can't help but think that he will end up ditching me or I might find someone better.. you know? I told him we should just be friends..deep inside I want it to be more;I am sure he does too but..yeah. I have never dated before, cuz all the other guys I know are losers and just want sex. I want it to be right. I am not the kind of girl that dates just anybody for the hell of it. Please tell me what you think, Just be friends or.. ? (link)
|
You know, we do have instincts that work very well! Follow yours here. You know he isn't going to ditch the other girl. He may be a very nice guy, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have it in his head that you will have sex with him. Some guys are just a little smoother about it than others.
Stay friends, but find some other guy to date. That could mean backing off the cuddling with Romeo. If they think you are dating him, they won't ask you out.
Good luck.

I am 25 years old and pregnant with my second child. I have never been on birth control because I am very against putting any hormones into my body that aren't there already. I have used the pull out method most of my sexual life and the only two times I have gotten pregnant were the times my partner did not pull out. I do realize however that this is not a reliable form of birth control and I am fine with having two children, and do not want another one anytime in the near future if ever. I am sorta afraid of the copper iud since I have heard horror stories, and my partner will not wear a condom (it doesnt pay for me to try...he just won't so do not suggest it). I would like to know what other options i have out there. Probably not many lol as my standards are quite high. thanks! (link)
|
The copper IUD is about the only RELIABLE thing I can find. My mother had trouble with an IUD so I have never recommended them before. She had hers long ago though and I am sure they make them better these days! Read what you can about them & then discuss it with your doctor. Write down any questions you may have so you don't forget anything.
There are spermicides out there that are either foam or suppositories. The suppositories are what I would recommend. No measuring or guess work needed. They don't have a high reliability rate, but I used them for years myself. I imagine most of the failure rate is probably due to people not using them correctly. You might want to read up on those too. Encare is the one I used.
There is also the diaphragm. Most don't like it because like spermicides they have to be inserted
before you have sex. I think you can insert them an hour before so its not really all that bad. It would mean regular doctors visits, but so does the pill. An unpleasant experience we'd all rather avoid, but shouldn't!
If you want the best chance of avoiding a pregnancy, I would recommend the diaphragm & spermicide combo. Do some reading and then go to your doctor armed with a list of any questions you may have.
I'm sure you know but, others read the answers you get too so I will mention it. The pill is by far the most reliable form of birth control. I do
understand your concerns about hormones but having
a lot of children doesn't fit into many peoples budget these days either. Other forms of birth control have high failure rates for the most part because they aren't used as directed. You have to be very careful to use as directed. Any teens reading this please stick with the pill. :)

Okay so i bought my new two story home on yoville, and have moved into it! I love it and have decorated and everything. The problem is when someone goes to visit me they go to my old apartment, why?
And how can i fix it? (link)
|
I had this problem too. Along the bottom in the middle is a thing that says your home. Set your house as the default home. Also make sure it is unlocked (lower right corner) and other places are locked.
I love Yoville! :)

I want to know is it possible to NOT get symptoms if your pregnant like, if I was pregnant for the first 2-8 weeks I don't get nausea etc.. stuff like that.. Is it possible to not get symptoms, or I need to get at least one symptom.. I'm really anxious... please help! Thanks so much! (link)
|
Very much possible. A missed period is a very good sign of pregnancy & the most common. Nausea etc. is not as common as people think. I've had 2 kids and never had "morning sickness".
Missed period. Thats the one to watch for.

Hi!
So Im getting an ultrasound for my ovaries, and they told me to drink LOTS of water... But I was wondering... do I HAVE to drink water? Can't I drink juice or vitamin water?
Any suggestions other than water (if possible)?
Thanks for any help ! (link)
| |
Call your doctors office and ask the nurse. It may not matter what you drink so long as you are drinking something. But call the office and ask. They will be more than happy to talk to you about it.

so, i've noticed that i have never been completely satisfied with any relationship i have ever been in. i always some how end up liking someone else, all the while knowing that the person i am with is great. there perfect, there what i've been waiting for.
so, currently, i am in a relationship.
we've been going out for about five months now.
i know that this person is someone that i could picture myself with for a long while, and this person is really, perfect for me.
but i can't help but like this other person.
we just talk, i've never cheated on my significant other, but i am crazy about this other person. and its all i can do not to just start something with this other person.
all the while, i do know that if i were to break up with my significant other now, to be with this other person, im almost positive that i would find that i want someone else.
this has happend before.
i just cant figure out why im never satisfied with any relationship im in. no matter how perfect the person is for me, and how great they treat me, i always find myself wanting someone else. (link)
|
You aren't satisfied because, even though there are a lot of great people out there who might seem perfect, they aren't the one for you!
Believe it or not, you are actually doing things right. Dating is one big hunt for that right guy.
The more different people you date, the better chances of finding the right guy for you.
I suggest you date different people. For now, do not tie yourself exclusively to any one guy. It is perfectly fine for you to date more than one person at a time. Just make sure they understand you are not going to be exclusive right now.
I'd like to add that doing this does not make you a bad person. I know the norm these days is to meet someone in junior high and date until you marry. LOL. I exaggerate but these people are not necessarily doing the right thing.
Don't get in a rut. Go out and have fun until you meet the right guy for you. When it happens you will know you have found him and will be very sure he is the one! Best of luck.

a guy can read girls minds and i remember there's one girl who keeps thinking about looking at his junk and he can like tell what she's thinking and its awkward lol does anyone know what movie this is? sorry if its the wrong category i didn't really know where to put it. Oh and its a few years old (link)

I agree it sounds like 'What Women Want'. Stars Mel Gibson & Helen Hunt.
Here is a link to the movies trailer. Maybe it will look familiar to you. Good movie!

If you have a misdomeanor on your record can you get a nursing license in Oregon? (link)
|
Your best bet is going to be calling the state nursing board and talk to someone who knows for sure.
It will depend a lot on what it was for and what you did to remedy it. Example: If it was for a DUI, or drug offense, did you go to rehab or something. If so, it may make a difference.
A lot of times it is going to depend on the individual. You will have to report any because they will check. You will have to be prepared to give great details about what happened.
Good luck. Call someone in state nursing board office. Tell them what info you are looking for and don't give up until you get someone who can give you the info you need.

IF u keep masterbating will that lower your sperm count? (link)
| |
Just to back up the answer Alin gave you...no. Masturbating will not lower your sperm count permanently. It may temporarily lower your sperm count (not enough to consider it a means of birth control), but after ejaculation it immediately begins to go up again.

I've seen lately in a lot of your answers that one does not need to see an OBGYN. My doctor referred me to one about a year ago because I was having major issues with my period. Was this because he's a pediatrician, and pelvic exams are simply not his forte? (link)
|
It could be. OBGYN doctors are good. Don't get me wrong. They are just not necessary for your average female problem. They are just more expensive than a Family/general practitioner.
So, that being said, I would hate for any female not to get care just because they believe an OBGYN is the only option they have. If you are diabetic and pregnant, or had another high risk pregnancy, I would certainly recommend an OBGYN.
If your doctor refereed you, and you have insurance to cover the visit, that's great! But for your normal pelvic exams etc. A Family doctor or general practitioner can do the same exam for less.
Doctors also tend to recommend a doctor they know.
Never hesitate to ask if an OBGYN is really necessary.

there is this boy i really really like at my school and he knows i like him but every time i speek to him on msn he never reply's how can i get him to like me? lots of people have said to just tell him how you feel about him but i am scared he will just laugh at me. wot should i do ? (link)
|
If you have talked to him and didn't get an answer, forget him. At least for now. Spilling your guts to him won't help anything and could just embarrass you. He isn't interested or he would have responded when you talked to him.
|
|
im a 13 yr old female and resently a 16 yr old male added me on msn we got talking and i found out he use to go to my school but finished this year. he keeps sending me texts saying i love you but hasn't actually asked me out yet i told a friend about this an she said to just tell him you are not intrested so i did but i dont think he got the message wot shall i do please help me on wot to say thanks :) (link)
|
I agree with the others that you should block him.
As far as what you should say to him, say nothing.
Just block him and forget him.

Okay well last night (or should I say this morning at 5am), I went downstairs to get a glass of water and my stairs is nearly in front of my front door (with a lacey curtain in the front) and I saw someone in front of my house. At first I thought it was a random person that was going to ring my doorbell for something but when he didn't, I just stood there on the stairs and I saw him touching our car door.
I didn't want him to see me but I wanted to know what he was doing so I sat down on the stairs to watch him and he was trying to open every door of the car! I was deciding whether or not to go grab my camera to report it to the police or use the video version but I couldn't see his face so it would be no use since the police can't do anything without proof.
Eventually he gave up because the doors were locked and he walked away. I quickly walked to the window and carefully moved a bit of the curtain and he continued to walk but didn't go to my neighbour's car. Which is incredibly freaky. And I couldn't help myself since my mom wakes up 30 mins later for work and I told her to check her car for anything. And at first she thought I had a dream or something (I always have dreams that tell me this and that) but I assured her that it wasn't a dream and I regret telling her about it because she was so scared.
Am I overreacting? Should I talk to the police about it anyways? Our street is RIGHT beside my elementary school so I thought that this would be a safe street but obviously not and I'm scared because there are so many kids that live in this neighbourhood too. Also, Someone broke into our house two years ago and the police told us that they/he broke in at the right time so they were probably watching us from afar, which makes me think that maybe it's the same guy because he came to our house 30 mins before my mom wakes up for work.
What do you think? I need advice. And knowing myself, I'll probably go downstairs since I'll constantly think about this so I'll probably get ready to record a video or take a picture in case he does come again. What do I do if he does come again? Am I overreacting or is this probably a normal thing for car jackers/breakers do at night, only that I didn't know about it? (That's why they tell you to lock your car doors right?)
Thanks in advance! I know this was long! (link)
|
I doubt they will bother doing anything since he didn't actually break into your car. It never hurts to call them with the information though. They will let you know if there has been a problem with car break ins in your neighborhood.
Next time don't just sit there and watch. Get on the phone to the police and get him/her caught in the act.

Hello'. Everyone i am in need of some helpp. It's this boy that i really have feelings for but everytime we talk we fuss, Well At least ever since the first time we had intercorse. Before that everything between use was fine/ Maybe he got what he wanted and now he isn't intersted in me anymore? What's Next I really wanna be with him! But he also dosen't want any girlfriend and i respect that but i can't seem to figure out why he want's to keep me around if we dont have a Relationship in our future? (link)
|
What happens next is that you respect yourself enough not to have sex with this guy who is using you.
Inform him that if he wants sex without a relationship he can either pay a hooker or use his
own right hand. Unless of course he is left handed.
Its hard to do if you really like the guy. Thats what he is counting on. Be strong and put yourself first. Believe it or not, a better guy than this one will come along.

I am a 29 year old single mother of 2 boys and I am sorry if this drags on. I met a man about a year and a half ago. It seemed like I just might have finally met my match. On the 3rd week he said that he was kind of just looking for a girl to mess around with and my heart dropped. I knew then that this was probably not going to turn out how I would like. But I continued on. About 2 months later he backed off and said that he couldn't see me anymore. I said fine. Then he came back around. I have usually been the one to email 1st or call 1st and try to get together...he would usually respond but was rarely available which is why he says that he is single.. because he wants to do what he wants to do when he wants to do it and he is very loyal to hanging with his pals. There were a couple of times when I would stop contacting him but then he would seek me out and he would start coming over more often for dinner, movies, to stay the night...then after about 3 months of that he just stopped coming over to stay but would stop by to say hi without warning. I have always felt strongly for him, he has a lot of qualities that I would want in a partner of mine. He has always known how I have felt about him and I was never pushy about what I wanted bc I wanted to respect how he felt. I wonder if he backed away so much because he knew how I felt? He has said before that he just can't handle my boys (he is 32 with no kids)That in itself should have made me turn around and not look back but I havn't been able to let it go. A part of me can see us as an old couple sitting on the porch together while eating jello...you know? I have always felt that there would come a time when we would have to part ways so that we can work on our lives individually but neither one of us lets go entirely. I don't understand why we can't just be two single people who want to enjoy eachothers company. If I was completley honest with myself I would pay attention to the fact that he does not seek me out very often, we don't hang out around other friends together, it seems that he "hangs" with me when there is nothing better to do. I have been trying to let go since soon after I met him but I just don't want him completely out of my life...there are so many possibilities with him. He says that he wants to be casual friends but I don't know if I can handle that. What the heck is a casual friend? I want more out of a friendship with him. I don't want to let go of this friendship but does he really even want a friendship? I wonder if he can he be the type of friend that I want? I feel selfish for putting a label on the friendship with him, he is a great guy and its very hard to do this but....would it be best to part ways? Must I let go of the idea of him and his friendship? I really don't want to lose touch with him. (link)

You need to find someone else. I'm willing to bet this guy is either married or in a relationship with someone else.
Have you tried googling him? If not give it a try and see what comes up. You might be surprised at what you can find.
Know any police officers? If you do see if they can look him up for you. You might have to get his tag number.
Either way, if he wants nothing to do with your kids he is not the guy for you. Your kids come first and if you can't find a guy who will love them as you do, you're wasting your time.

I am a female in my mid-twenties. I have never beared any children, misscarried, or aborted. Nor have I ever been to an OBGYN. I am not a Virgin, but I can count of the number of times I have engaged in sexual intercourse, on one hand - all times being with the same partner.
For the past 9 months, I have had constant vaginal bleeding. Every single day. It won't stop. The amount of blood loss is that of a period; so this is not light spotting we're talking about.
Obviously, something is wrong. I am not experiencing any pain, itching, burning, redness, swelling. Nor any other symptoms, such as headaches or fatique or cramping. Just constant daily bleeding.
I know I need to seek medical attention. However, not only am I incredibly embarrassed, but I don't have any sort of health insurance or coverage. And I have no source of income to cover any bills. I feel that I am stuck. It is a huge burden of discomfort, not to mention, it is terrifying. I have just grown used to it. Its become normal to me - my life for the past 9 months. I've told not a soul.
I just don't know what to do. I can't afford help - and even if I could, I don't know if I could go through that sort of humiliation and testing. And I don't even know what type of clinic is right for me.
Do you think Planned Parenthood might suffice?
My biggest worry in all of this, is that something might be wrong which might strip me of my ability to have my own child.
What should I do? And if I do seek medicial help, do you have any ideas or guesses as to what might occur in this exam??
I looked to you, because I read that you have involvement in the medical field. Please, help me. :/

You do need to see a doctor. There is nothing for you to be embarrassed about. You will probably get a pelvic exam. They are awkward for all women but it is important a doctor check you out inside.
Here is a link to what happens during a pelvic exam.
http://www.livestrong.com/article/12465-pelvic-exam/
You do not need to see an expensive OBGYN. You can see any kind of general practitioner or family doctor. Planned parenthood would be a good place to start. If they can't help you, they can point you to a place in your area that can. Just ask them. :)
Do please see a doctor. You want to get this taken care of soon.
