I have absolutely horrid allergies. Everytime the seasons change I'm out of commission for a few days, or else struggling to make it through the day.
I'm currently using Flonase, twice a day like you're supposed to. It works for mild things, like year-long triggers (cats, dogs, oak, etc) but doesn't do much when the pollen count is really high, like now.
Problem is, I can't go on anything else. I tried to take Zyrtec a few years back and had a not so fun allergic reaction in the form of puking my guts out constantly (Yeah, not fun) so I refuse to go on anything else of the sort.
So I was hoping someone can help me out! Any natural remedies, foods, or even herbal supplements? Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance, and I will rate! =] (link)

sudafed allergy is great, i suggest you go to an allergy specialist they can test you to find out exactly what your allergic to, and i know its hard to trust other medications, but they will find the right preventive medication for you, they also have shots you can take just a few times a year, its worth it believe me. the things they test for will blow your mind, i found that im allergic to most plants, trees molds, dust mites, and hang on to your skin, ROACHES yes they test for that, who would have thaught. its actually alot easier on the bank account too. please consider a specialist it has really helped me. good luck hope i helped BRIE

i think i developed bulimia around last november. ever since thanksgiving i've been throwing up like everything i eat. i used to binge but i stopped and i try to only eat when i absolutely have too. but today i ate some chips, freaked out and purged and i threw up some blood. i'm scared. it's never happened to me before. what happened? what do i do? i don't think i can stop i really can't. if i do i'm afraid i'll get really fatter.
i'm like 5'6" and last time i checked 121 pounds. normally i check everyday but i've been afraid to lately. i don't know what to do. i'm scared. my mom kinda knows about it but she's only said something to me twice. i don't get how i could overcome this. how?
any advice?
thanks so much. (link)

Please go to your mom,you need help, i had the same problem and the doctor said the blood is from the stomach acids that have eaten away at the throat, and esophagus and that i would end up bleeding to death, laying in a puddle of blood, its very hard to stop but counseling and family support will help you. your mom cares or she wouldnt have said anything at all, look at it like this if it was your mom would you want her to come to you for help? would you want to help her? she loves you more than you love her, even though its hard to believe sometimes. go to a school counsler if you need to, or a friend have someone talk to her for you, write her a letter, just get help now please. its no easy road, and WHEN you stop, if you make a mistake and do it, just keep trying, you will be healthy and happy and feel good about yourself i promise! Lots of luck BRIE

Um, well this question is not so much of a question...Im really scared of what im doing to my body..I've done somthing horribly wrong and I've always known that I've been hurting myself but I do it anyways...I've been using tampons in the wrong way. Um well first I masterbate (sorry I didn't know what else to say to replace that word) intirely wayyy too much, its an everday issue with me and its not that im desprate its just that im too shy to do any thing with a guy so I just....ya. Well since I've done that so much, I've had alot of discharge, it feels like Im always on my period and so thats why I use a tampon everyday and my mom found out because shes notice she buys them almost every other week..I've been doing this for over three years now I think or two years and over time I think its been messing me up becuase I've bled once lightly for a week and I had just quit and then I have odors and its all the time and it changes but its horrible and its extremly embarresing and thats also why I haven't done any thing with a guy..not that u needed to know that but... I still use tampons and I still have odors and heavy discharge and I do still get my period at regular times but I dont know whats wrong with me. My mom told me I could die if I kept doing this but I dont know what else to do. She wont take me to the doctor but she only forgets so its alright but she doesnt think that anythings wrong with me she just thinks I need to quite using them but I want to stop it. But I dont really want to go anyways. I just want to know if theres somthing I can do or if it will ever go away or if I may have something like a disease or sickness or any thing. The odor and heavy discharge happened like a year and a half ago but if you have any idea what may be wrong with me without me having to see a doctor that would be great or any thing I can do to stop it please and thank you for your time and helping me!

Your body has discharge, its a normal way for your body to clean its self, when you use tampons it does leave a bit behind, you are causing your body to clean constantly, you may also have a piece left behind that is collecting discharge which in turn is causing odor, try checking yourself sometimes its very hard to find. stop using the tampons switch to pads, buy a douche at your local store they are very cheap around $2.00 all females atone point or another use them, most use them after a period, or sex to help clense the body they are very easy to use. if the discharge doesnt clear up or the odor, you must see a doctor, you can be seen at your local health department for free without your parents ever knowing, they are their for your complete privacy, they also provide medication free if needed and birthcontrol free. and please read about toxic shock syndrom on the pamplet in the tampon box. sorry you cant get your moms help i know the feeling, its not that she dont care, shes just not ready to face you growing up. Take care, i hope i helped BRIE

What if somebody has herpes and goes down on you?
Gives you a blow job or...do you a favour...
Is it dangerous you can catch it in your genitals from his/her mouth? (link)
| |
if they have herpes of the mouth yes, and alot of people dont realize those little cold sores on the mouth area are a form of herpes that can be transmitted to the private areas and cause genital herpes. if you must have oral sex which most of us enjoy, try a condom or even a piece of seran wrap at your local grocer for around $1.00 be safe and good luck BRIE

a girl fomr school gave me head and my friend head and we didnt use a condom but can i get an std or what cause i cant get this crap out of my head???
answer back asap (link)
| |
Aids is exchanged thru body fluids, usually not saliva if someone has a cold sore on their mouth and the fluid from the sore is transfered to the privates this can cause a form of herpes. if your buddy has any diseases and your fluids got mixed then you could possibly have contracted something, it would be a good idea to go to your local health department and get a check up for your own safty and peace of mind it is totally free and private no parents will be contacted, you can go to your school counsler and tell them where you are going and bring a slip from the doctor back to them and no one has to know, they will even provide you free condoms, which im sure you will now be using, its rare you hear of anyone catching a disease from oral but not impossible so good luck the odds are in your favor.BRIE

Ok, i have a problem with my ex boyfriend (Jeremy) Last year we dated for 5 months and then i dumped him for this other guy. We didnt talk this summer because we kinda had a fight. Then this year on the first day of school he was in 2 of my classes! After the 2nd class i asked him if i could call him and he said yeah and we talked a little bit. After that I thought it would be fine but boy was i wrong. Then (of course!!!) I was in a group with my friend, a girl i didn't know, HIM, and his other ex girlfriend who hates my guts! She and i have PE and hon. biology together (Hon. bio is what i hav with both Jeremy and his other ex, Miranda) She hates me because he dated me last year when she liked him still from the previosu year. Anyway we have extra lab periods when we do labs and stuff and when I work with him i get super stressed out and get really mad at him! I don't know why but he just frusterates me SO MUCH! On the first day i wanted to cry when he showed up in my classes and was super stressed and today after getting together (the whole group) in study hall to assign jobs for the lab report I got so stressed out w/him i was just like ok does everyone know what they're doing? good cause im leaving! And i left. Miranda (the ex) and i talked because i said "i know u dont like me but..." and she said" i thought it was the other way around-i thought u didnt like me!?" and i said "no i don't have a prob with u" and she said same so i guess we have a truce or whatever. i never hated he and actually think she's pretty nice but i know she used to hate me even if she doesn't anymore. My main question tho is why do i get so stressed when i work with him and how can i change it??? Last year we never had classes together so this is a first but i get so mad i want to cry or scream or sumthing and this isn't gonna work with me like that everyday! No way! Please tell me how to chill out!!!!! And sorry this is sooo long! I rate too!!! :D (link)
| |
are you mad because you dont have him? remember you dumped him! he apparently didnt have what it takes to keep you happy. make a list of what really bothers you when hes around, is it just seeing him, his voice his actions, you need to find the problem before you can fix it. pick another lab partner, avoid him, or even change classes, before your grades suffer. good luck and remember you can always count to ten {or 100} BRIE

When I come out of the shower, my hair curls naturally. As time progresses, my hair dries out and makes poofy. Also, my hair is very delicate: I can pull a strand of my hair out of my head without it being painful!
1. What kinds of shampoo can strengthen my hair or what can I do to strengthen my hair?
2. What are good hair products that defrizz + depoof my hair.
3. I heard if you get layers, it can volumize or devolumize your hair. Do you know anyone that did it? I was thinking I should get layers to add less weight so it won't look so HUGE. What kind of layered style should I get?
THANKS! (link)
| |
Sounds like your fed up, first calm down stop pulling your hair out, think of hair as a good thing not somethig evil out to getcha. a good hair strengthener is mane and tail its about $6.00 for a big bottle it will make your hair shine and grow faster too. try a product called friz ease, you use it after washing. layers thin the hair and are beautiful, they saved me from heavy hair headaches literally.find a style you like in the books at the hairdressers and they will cut it the way you wnt layers are mostly just in the back, so you can pick how you want the sides and top, i usually tell them as many layers as you can get.Hope i helped BRIE

I had my frist blackout from drinking this past weekend. What does this really suggest?
Lately, I can't ear right, sleep right, I can't concentrate in school, and I don't know. I've changed in a lazy sense of way..
Everyone was telling me about what happened...and I just don't remember it for the life of me. What's happening to me? I've NEVER blacked out before. (link)

It sounds to me that you were close to alcohol poisoning, try to stop! your local health dept. has alot of info. on groups that will benefit you in dealing with staying dry. a dear friend of mine drank for many years and now has brain damage his brain nolonger tells his heart to beat, i never knew drinking could be that dangerous, but it is, you have alot of years ahead try your hardest to make them good ones.when you get a chance go to google type in effects of alcohol on the body and hopefully you will find a good glass of soda is a great alternative as i have. lots of luck honey stay strong BRIE

so this may be an immature question but when a guy fingers a girl does he go all the way into the vagina or just around the outside? (link)
| |
Usually both, starting on the outside and then the inside, dont do anything you are not comfortable with, you can always say stop, slow down, not yet, or tell them upfront dont go inside, or anything else you are not wanting to do, its your body! please use protection when it gets that far. be safe.

so this summer i had 3 random hook ups and i cant't get over them. i guess i fell for the guys a little but i just cant stop thinking about the stories over and over.. is this completely weird or normal? (link)
| |
It sounds about right, hormones are tough to deal with and the memories are totally normal, please be safe and remember there is only one of you so slow down and dont let people take advantage. you have many years left so live them happily. BRIE

16/f. In one of my classes, I sit by a kid who has low self-esteem and possibly mental issues. Anyway, he started talking to me on the first day of class (we had not met before). Then he started telling me about how girls always reject him, and how he's "always wanted to ask me out." After he said that, I didn't say anything back- I just sat there and continued doing my work. Frankly, this kid gives me the creeps but I don't want to be rude at all to him. When the bell rang to leave class, he said, "So will you go out with me?" And I politely said no. I think it's really weird that he asked me out when we had just met, and when he doesn't know me AT ALL. So here's the question: Class is really awkward now. How do I handle this situation, and if he brings it up again, what do I say? I don't want a relationship right now (at least not with him), and I don't want to hurt his feelings because he has low self-esteem. Help? Thank you guys! (link)
| |
If hes always wanted to ask you out, maybe he knows of you and you had not noticed, act normal, like he never asked, dont feel guilty trust your instincts, if someone makes you feel funny there is a reason! and if that doesnt help you, try hooking him up with that girl you dont care to much for{ha ha}. but always trust YOUR FEELINGS.BRIE

[I didn't know which category this should go under]
Okay so my skin is pretty fair. I'm mostly irish. However, I do tan a little bit. I know this is hard to judge, but how long do you think I could stay out in the sun without being burnt, because I want some color, but I am terrified of getting burnt again. The first time I went out this year, I was out for 3 hours straight and got a wicked bad sunburn.
I know its really hard to judge, so I appreciate any answers. (link)
| |
try using a light sunscreen, that way you will get a little exposure at a time, stay out for about an hour only, and gradually increase time. Alot of people go to tanning beds they say it helps if you tan there first. hope i helped Brie

Hi, I'm 14, soon to be 15 in 13 days, female.
My family has recently become poor. I've never been a person to shop at Hollister or anywhere that expensive, buttt, according to my mom and dad, we're almost in debt, and we can't pay our monthly bills. We can't afford my school clothes, so I'm having a yard sale.
My dad, tonight, just told me that we might not have enough to send me to Drivers Ed this September. I got really upset, and he still has to look into the finances.
I told him I was angry because we were poor, and he said whatever and left. What do I do about all of this? I think I hurt my dad's feelings, and yet I'm literally crying because we don't have enough money for anything anymore, I can't stop crying.
... please help. What should I do? My birthday will probably be the worst ever. (link)
| |
Im sorry to hear that theres not much money right now, everyone is having a hard time right now. Tell your dad your sorry. about your birthday, ask the people you invite to get you clothes, tell them thats really all you want, that way you will have something new to start school in, and noone has to know your situation. Have a family member to teach you how to drive. And maybe you could start baby sitting for cash. Good Luck Brie

Take a walk in the woods, find your perfect spot and tie a ribbon around a branch, each of you make a knot and every ann. go back and do it again as a symbol of your growing love for each other.Imagine in 20 years how much your relationship and the tree will have grown.Buy a kite that is fun and it doesnt cost alot. also you could go to a regular park, its fun to swing no matter how old you are and dont forget the merry-go-round its much more fun getting dizzy, and falling into someones arms. Last idea, get a couple of baloons and write a wish about your future, and let them fly to the heavens. Have a wonderful day together. Brie

I am a 21 years old female
I dated my ex boyfriend for 2 1/2 years. He was the first guy I ever experienced anything with (if you know what I mean) and he is also from a different ethnic and religious background.
I ended up converting but not for him and our relationship was always pretty good. I loved him but the last year he kept holding back from the relationship and didn't trust me and towards the end I felt so frustrated that I made him sit down with me and just talk (which was always like pulling teeth with him) and he told me "I don't think we have a future." I broke up with him after that and was devastated.
I never met his family because dating is frowned upon and that was another problem. When we broke up I told him that I didn't want to see him or talk to him unless he was willing to introduce me to his family and to get engaged. That was my ultimatum and I never expected to see him again.
I didn't talk to him for 2 months and during that time my closest friend who is also a guy told me that he has always loved me and wanted to be with me. It was stupid but I rushed into a relationship with him without really cleaning up the baggage from my first relationship. I care about him a lot and don't want to hurt him plus he treats me like a princess.
Just recently my ex called me up and said that he was sorry for how he acted and that he wanted to change. That he has told his entire family about me and if I will take him back he wants me to meet them and then we will get engaged and when we are more financially secure we will get married.
I care for both of them and I have no idea who to pick what do you guys think? (link)
| |
So how secure financially do you have to be to become his bride? ASK! Also if his family doesnt approve, where will he stand? Its hard to find someone who can be your friend, and your mate. The guy you are with right now, are you guys happy? make a pros and cons list, and dont give up current guy because you picture a big beautiful wedding with your ex. It could be in the cards for a different groom. Sad to say but you may choose your ex and lose your best friend, is he worth it? please take some time on this one, only you can make this choice. Ive been there and lost it all. hope it turns out better for you. Brie

Ok so im senior and i play football for my highschool. This summer during the off season there were workouts at the school 2 times a week..it was optional but alot of players went. Well i didnt go to any of those workouts or team camp. I had to work at a job i already committed to..and i was goin through some personal issues with my fam. It really brought me down. So today..the coach sat me down..and told me..i was not in good physical shape and that i was not quick on the field. He also told me he was dissappointed in me and said that i would not be starter. I was really shocked..i didnt think i did that bad at practice. What do you think hes trying to do and what should i do? (link)
| |
Dont let anyone put you down! you should be proud that you chose the working world, I would explain to him that you love the game and unfortunately you had to be grown up and earn some money tell him you werent laying on the couch all summer, and you will prove to him what a valuable player you are. get in better shape, run to increase your speed. Play Hard good luck Brie
