So I have been diagnosed with a thyroid problem. I had to quit cheering, and I have been taking my medicane. They told me it shrunk a little. But having this worries me to death!! I balled my eyes out the first day they told me, because I had to quit and the things they told me about it.
But im just worried out of my mind that it will get worse, they told me I could have a heart attack.
Also they said " my body thinks its running a 24 hr marathon." Thats how fast my heart is beating.. and how it tells me to eat eat, eat. Don't sleep. Ect. I gained alot of weight! I also get all emotional about it when its brought up! I feel so lame, but I dont know what to do..
:(
Im not sure what the question is, but does anyone have any.. past with it? Or any tips about it?
Thanks! xox
PS. No sites please, unless its like very helpful :p (link)

I have hypothyroid. My sister had hyperthyroid which is basically what Graves disease is.
I'm surprised you gained weight. Usually one with Graves will lose weight! Anyway, what will most
likely happen is they will destroy or remove your thyroid gland. My sister took the radioactive iodine which does that. You could also have surgery to remove it.
That results in your having hypothyroid like I have. Its easier for them to treat and you can then go back to cheering and do whatever you like. You just have to take thyroid medication everyday.
At first you will take the dosage they start you at for 30 days or so. Then you will get a blood test. The test will tell them what your thyroid levels are. They will adjust your medicine every 30 days and recheck your levels until they are in normal range. Sometimes they get it right the first time, sometimes it takes a few months of trying different dosages. BUT, they will get it right soon. Once they do you will feel fine. You can do whatever you would normally do without worry.
Hang in there! You will be fine. It just takes a little while for them to get things to the dosage that gets you normal. Once they do, you will just go in and let them take your blood once a year to make sure all is still going fine. No big deal at all. :)

The thing is I don't want a relationship with him.. I want a friendship again I want my big brother back..
but it doesn't matter, I snapped at him because I got hurt yesterday and I had nothing distracting me.
It was hurting me real bad that I know that he cares but is afraid.
He's afraid because he thinks I won't back off and stop when I'm suppose to, he thinks I'll try to talk to him everyday.
No one seems to understand that even though I love him I don't want to be with him like that. >_>
But it doesn't matter, he doesn't have the nerve to ask me if I'm okay and not be afraid that I'll be all chatty and not leave him alone.
I messed it up and well had my 'best friend' told me they were planning a lunch for the 3 of us, perhaps I would have been okay.. but still..she promised him that she wouldn't tell me, and in the end I got mad at both of them because she spoke to him when I told her not to, and he was able to tell her that he still cares about me and was afraid to befriend me again. :-\
I decided I have had enough with him, I'll find myself a relationship and in 6 months, I'll go and ask him how he is doing. Till then I'll kill myself if I speak to him before then first. :-\ (link)
| |
Well, he's a bit touchy if he feels talking everyday is a bad thing. Sounds like he has some issues to deal with.
|

ok.. so i'm 19 and am in my first relationship ever, its been six months now, and just last week my boyfriend left for a job in another country. he says he wants to stay together and be together when he comes back in a year but it dosen't even seem like he cares at all.. he dosen't write me emails or anything, he can't call me because he said that he can't use his cell over there and it would cost way to much to call, however i looked it up and he could have used his cell over there if he paid a little extra.. and he tells me that he loves me a lot, he had an ex who did the same thing (take a job in another country) and so he knows how it feels but if he does and he loves me as much as he says why would he want to put me through that? anyways, i don't know what to do because this is my first boyfriend maybe i'm not really supposed to end up with him and i don't know.. i've just been such a mess lately and don't know if i can last a year feeling like this. anyways if anyone has any advice whatsoever please let me know, thanks in advance and thanks for actually taking the time to read this, i didn't mean for it to be this long (link)

Its only been a week. I know it seems like forever
already but give it a little time if you care for the guy.
For one thing it takes a while to get used to being in a new country with a new job. He is probably just getting settled in. If he has internet, look into skype. It is a cheap easy way to communicate and is probably cheaper than cell phone service.
If you love each other it can work out. If you want to move on you certainly can do that too. If you do care though, give it a chance to work. Talk to him about how you feel. Don't keep it bottled up. :)

I'm 21, he's 23. He still lives with his mom and dad and brother, who's my age. We've recently gotten back together after like two years of fighting and pretending not to love each other. We're head over heels for each other, we treat each other well - I mean, we're still trying to get past some of the stuff that we had trouble with before, but we joke around with each other, we laugh together, we cry together...We'd have a perfect relationship now if it weren't for his family.
His family hates me - absolutely HATES me - I've done nothing to warrant this behavior. If anything, I've been a saint as far as they should be concerned. I've spent hours taking care of him while he was drugged out of his mind on painkillers after surgery, I've stayed on the phone with him at four in the morning when he couldn't sleep...Even so, his family just despises me.
I've spoken to them about this - they think we're "too much alike." His mother is "Afraid we're going to get married." They want him to "Stand on his own two feet."
I don't baby him. I don't think it's too much to make sure he knows he's loved. He does the same thing for me.
He actually had a conversation with his dad where he explicitly said that he loved me, and his dad said, "You can't control your heart. If you love her, then you love her," which my guy took as kind of a declaration of acceptance of his choice and of me.
I called their house the other day to get a hold of him because he wasn't answering his cell phone, and after we hung up, his dad bitched at him. They can't accept the fact that we love each other - they make every excuse in the world for it and try to say my guy's at fault, or something. His mother - I'm pretty sure - is certifiably insane. With a few psych books, I'm pretty sure I could diagnose her with more than one mental disorder, including bipolar. His father agrees with his mother about me.
His brother just hates me for no reason - well that, and I know he doesn't like me so I've never really let him get to know me. I'm kind of a closed off person. He has a girlfriend, so it can't be a jealousy issue.
I don't know, I'm at my wit's end, here. I've tried everything - talking to them, purposely not talking to them, pretending nothing's wrong, being bitchy to them, being sweet to them (I've even done their dishes (of my own accord, because I just couldn't stand the mess anymore))...
I feel at this point like he'd more likely walk out of their house than lose me, so I'm not concerned about him leaving me. This is, however, unnecessary strain on an already difficult relationship - all second chances are hard. We're handling it as well as we can, though.
Still, this sucks. If we were ever to decide to get married or anything, they would probably disown him...and I could really like his family if they didn't hate me so much...Does anyone have any ideas? =( (link)
|
If he is 23 and still living at home, that is the first problem. There is no reason that a 23 year olds family should have much say so in who he dates.
Of course it would be wonderful if they liked you, I
doubt that will happen though with him living at home where mom calls the shots.
As soon as possible get him out on his own. Don't move in with him, let him "stand on his own two feet" for a little while first. Then, if nothing else, at least you won't have to deal with them very often. :)

Hi,
I was wondering if your allowed to not go to yearlies. Like is that a requirement? I really dont like people looking at my body. Not even my mom or sisters! Ive already gone once last year and I was very uncomfortable with my mom watching and my doctor feeling around and looking. And I most definitely do not want to go to a gynecologist. Is it possible to not go?
And yes I know they are important so my doctor can make sure everythings okay and how its supposed to be but I really,REALLY do not want to go. (link)
|
If mom makes you go...explain to her that you are uncomfortable with her in the room. I'm sure she will understand and wait outside.
It is important for you to go. I understand not wanting to though because I am the same way. You do absolutely have to go if and when you get on birth control pills. They won't refill your prescription if you don't. Until then, its up to you and your mom. Talk to her about it and see what she says.

i haven't written anything in like a month.
so i figured id give u an update..i started to get better then i started to fall down and id say something to him once a week or so.
and apparently my 'best friend' wants to help me so she tried to talk to him..
last week i texted him and apparently he was about to text me back and he dropped his phone and it shut off and he went to write it all out again and it died..and then i IM him monday and he wanted to answer but he was afraid to what it will mean...
aparently he's been watching me? he saw a RIP away message of mine and said "i feel bad yea but im afraid of what will happen after i talk to her if i talk to her, it's to help lift her up when i tell her to leave me alone after that it'll hurt even more and she'll fall further than she was when i helped her up i fele horrible looking at it" *she tells him the 4 major events in my life the last 4 months* and he said "dang i know that if i msg her or call her or anything there is no going back and idk if im ready"
hes messing with my head again. :-\
he told me he was done...and there was no going back.
and i always feel like he has been watching me all this time...and he has..
and i dont know. :-\ (link)
|
I don't think he is messing with your head on purpose. I honestly think you need to distance yourself from him and move on. For real.
I think he would like to be friends only. It sounds like he is afraid to do that because it gives you the hope that it is or could be more than that. To him it isn't ever going to be. So he is backing off and staying away from you. Which is actually a very mature and believe it or not caring thing for him to do.
I think it comes down to this. He cares for you. But probably more as he would a sister. It probably makes him feel bad that he can't reach out to you when you are troubled. BUT, he knows in the long run it makes things worse and harder on you.
You have to accept that you will never have a relationship with this guy. Not the kind of relationship you want anyway. Hard as it is for you to do, you have to accept it and move on. Stop dwelling on him and what he thinks and does. Its the only way to move on.

I have been dating my boyfriend for 6 years, however after our 3rd year we kind of aparted because he was talking to another girl.Inspite of it i gave us a chance and have been trying to work with him, our relationship have been inconsistent since then we don't talk for months and then we talk again and end up fighting because he suspects me of dating other guys when we don't talk. He refuses to hear or consider anything I have to say against his allegation on me, he is on denial.I have strong feelings for this person and I don't know how else to fight for us or on is it even worth it based on the history of its existence? .Any advice/input would be appreciated!
Thanks (link)
|
If you don't talk for months at a time then I think your relationship is probably doomed. I hate to say that but you can't maintain a good relationship if you don't see each other.
If your relationship is long distance or just an internet thing, expecting each other to never talk to the opposite sex or even to date others is unrealistic.
Since he refuses to listen to you, accuses you and suspects you all the time, A lot of it could be guilt because he is doing the same thing. I suggest that you find someone close to home and just be friends with this guy until you can be close enough to maintain a relationship.

Does anyone know where I can find a version of
"Aces High" - Iron Maiden with the Winston
Churchhill Speech. But not the live version?

Aces High can be found on the album Powerslave.
Mine is an album anyway, there is probably a CD of it too. :)

i started traking my period on line at mymonthlycycles since agu. and it really works its always right or around right! my last p. was Jan 8. than i was gonna get another one thru jan 27-31. But i got it on the 31 for one day and only spoting exacly two weeks after i had sex with my boyfriend (no condom in a rush lol) my avg cycle length is 19 day and was to get another on Feb 15-19 its the 18th and i have no signs of geting it! does this mean im prego! im 22days late! can i take a test now? or do i wait till its like 31 days? how does that work! (link)
|
Take a test. Having sex without using a condom means you have a very good chance of being pregnant.
If you are relying on a calender to prevent pregnancy, you are taking a very big risk. Sperm can live a while in a warm environment. That method of birth control does not work.
Next time you're in a rush to have sex, keep in mind that one little sperm can keep you busy for 18 years or so, change your life and cost you lots of money. It will cool things down in a hurry. Or should. :)

Ok, I just found out that someone I knew was actually my half-brother. Before, I liked them...but now I don't know what to do or how to to react. Should I confront my dad? (Mom's dead)
What would you do?
Talk to him calmly, let off some steam...???
Thanks ;D
I'm a 16 year-old girl. (link)
| |
Seems reasonable to tell your dad what you heard and hear his side of the story. Do it calmly as you don't know the whole story. Chances are good your mom knew all about it and forgave him long ago.

when you stand up from like sitting down or waking up to be kind of dizzy or like you just see black for about 10 seconds pretty much everytime you get up? and also Ive been having headaches lately. Like migrains, the light just hurts my eyes bad. Is this even a little bit normal?13/F (link)
|
I don't know that I would call it "normal", but it isn't uncommon. You should tell your doctor about it, but it probably isn't a major emergency.
Most of the time when you sit around your blood pressure lowers. Standing back up, especially suddenly, your BP goes back up and it can cause a feeling of being lightheaded and even a feeling you're about to faint. Its actually a lot more common in older people, so it is worth mentioning to your doctor.
Migraines can cause it too. So can any kind of inner ear problem. So while it is common, do mention it to your doctor so they know it is something you are feeling. Most likely you will just be told to get up slower and don't just jump right up fast.
Happens to me often too. :)

hiya, im 20 i have a boyfriend of 2yrs, we are not that close anymore, we keep arguing etc and i try to leave him but i cant. anyway, i know this guy whoa 29, married with 2 children. his mum has just passed away after having cancer [she was a close family friend] i see him often and we are really close and have loads in common. we both want each other and are always flirting & touching. we always text each other and he has told me he is having the 7 yr itch with his wife [they dont really get on, she is a bitch] anyway last night we got carried away and he has his hands down my bra and we kissed. it was so amazing, never felt anything like it before with my bf. we both want each other so much, its being going on for about 3/4 months but this is the first time i havent hidden my feelings and kissed him. i dont regret it at all but im so confused. he is just using me to try and get some sex or does he genuinly like me? he always says we have loads in common and he worries about me when i go out drinking etc.
i think i might be falling for him and have no idea what to do!!

Stay away from him. I'm not even kidding. 7 year itch or whatever you want to call it does NOT in any way mean he is leaving his wife and kids for you. It means he wants to use you.
You can do plenty of reading about this on the internet. I suggest you do before taking it further. You will get hurt and hurt his family in the process. She is not a bitch, she is tired because she is raising his kids while he runs around like a teenager in heat.
He may genuinely like you, but he will not leave his wife for a relationship with you. He may make promises to get what he wants but he will not keep them. Think about it for a minute. He promised his wife even more than that and he is out cheating on her. He is a liar already.
|
well, i'll introduce myself first, call me sha, i'm 14, a sophomore, mmmm to start things off, i like this guy, he's a sophomore as well, and he also likes me... yeah, were really close (when were together my best friends would always comment that were like husband and wife, so sweet that ants are sorrounding us), mmmm were in mutual understanding and all not BF/GF but its a "together-but-not-yet" situation (so i don't get why they said were like a couple and all)
mmmm well i'll be leaving in a year or 2 to canada cause of my dad's business, also we can't visit the phil. then cause were going for citizenship and all, but i really am grateful that were not leaving, not up till i finish my high school years, graduation... and that he can visit me every vacation in canada...
mmmm i just want to ask advice about, what should i do, i might get insecured not being near him, or on how could i keep our good relationship up till were done with college...
and also i've been kind of the fragile type these days, not because i'm leaving after highschool but because 2 of my bestest friends would leave by next school year leaving me and my 1 remaining best friend, even though i have closefriends their different cause their the ones i'm always with, also i have low chances of being classmates with that 1 remaining bestie of mine...
my point is i don't want to break when i leave for canada, even now just thinking about it makes me cry a little...
sorry for the long story, please give me some advice...THANK YOU (link)
|
Concentrate on Now, not whats going to happen in 2 years. In all honesty, a relationship that starts at 14 will very rarely end in true love and marriage. If it does that's wonderful, but chances are the relationship will be over before you leave 2 years from now. That would be normal. So give it a chance because you never know.
If in 2 years the relationship is still going strong and you love each other, then your leaving
will only be an inconvenience. You will keep in contact via computer until you are together again.
Apply for colleges in an area that makes dating convenient if possible.

I found out i may be pregnant around 2 weeks ago, its 2 days before my period should show.. and i had sex today and started bleeding, and its not like my period. It is practically done bleeding now though. Whats wrong? Miscarrage? Or too rough, and made a tear? (It hurt pretty bad during).
Ahh whats wrong? (link)
|
How did you find out you might be pregnant? Did you see a doctor or have a positive pregnancy test?
If not you probably just had your period. If you had a miscarriage, then you need to see a doctor.
Sometimes not everything that needs to be expelled is. It can cause health problems.

Im a 20 yr old female and I have been with my girlfriend for over 2 years now. We have been living together for the past year. We have a pretty good relationship and for the most part, im happy. The main problem is I constantly get irritated because things arent "fair" or "equal". For example, my girlfriend will ask me to get her a drink and then shell ask me to get her a snack and then she'll ask me to get her a blanket and then she'll ask me to take the dogs out. And I'll do it all. But then I ask her to get me a drink and she will flat out say no and wont do it. And then I start getting irritated and angry because I feel like why should I do it for you when you wouldnt do it for me. She says I shouldnt expect things in return for the favors I do. I get so torn over it because part of me feels like shes right and its not right for me to get mad I should just do it because I love her and I shouldnt expect her to do it for me in return. But then a minute later i think that its crap and its not fair at all and if she loves me then she should do it for me. I would just like some opinions and advice because I feel like if I could get over my issue with this then our relationship would be so much better. Thanks alot. (link)
|
Any relationship should be 50/50 when it comes to doing things for one another. If it isn't you have resentment because it really isn't fair. No one person in a relationship is any more important than another when it comes to wanting a little TLC!
I suggest you flat out refuse now and then yourself. Explaining to her that she has a couple of legs and they will atrophy if she doesn't use them now and then.
You also need to sit her down and have a little chat about it. Not when its happening and you are upset about it. Before it has a chance to happen.
Explain that you are no longer going to be the waitress in the relationship.
If she can't do things for you now and then as well, the future doesn't look very bright. The longer it continues, the more you will come to resent it. Put a stop to it now before it becomes even more of a habit on her part. :)

so my dad has a bunch of medications for different things (heart, lungs, and blood pressure...etc) and i want to know if they clash with each other... he is pretty old so its easy for him to mess up the medications and i just want to double check (i also called the doc hence "double") and see what shouldn't be taken with what.. is there a site where i could type in the med (all of them) to see??
thank you (link)
|
Its nice of you to want to be on top of your dads meds. These days the pharmacy he uses probably keeps pretty much on top of that, IF he uses the same one for all his meds. Any medical site that lists drugs will have a drug interaction section you can check. I have to say though that it could get confusing for you.
What YOU can do for him and keep on top of, is make sure he has a written list of the meds he is on. He needs to have it with him at all times in case of emergencies. It needs to be small enough he can carry it with no problem. You need to have the name of the med as well as the dosage he takes written on it. Include any over the counter meds like aspirin a day, vitamins etc. listed too. It will make it easier when he goes to a doctor. You might also list his doctors/doctors and their phone numbers on it too.
Where most problems come in is when you go to more than one doctor for more than one problem. It can be easy to forget to mention something you are taking. If he has your handy list, he can just give it to his specialists nurse and it makes it so much easier for ALL his doctors to see what the other guy is giving him already.
So it may sound like it isn't helping much, but it
really could be a very important job for you to keep track of it. Remember to check whenever he visits a doctor to see if anything has been added,
stopped or if they change a dosage. :)

16/m yeah so um yesterday i forgot me and my girlfriends 6 month anniversary...i love her so much, im just really bad with dates...but i also forgot our 3, 4 and 5 month =/ she says its ok and that she understands but i feel horrible...i only see her 2 times a week because she lives in a different town but im seeing her for valentines day and i want to do something amazing for her to prove to her that i do love her and im sorry...any advice?
im on my sisters account btw... (link)
|
My advice is to stop "celebrating" monthly anniversary's. I'm not kidding. They make a years anniversary or Valentines day not so very special.
They are just another day in the month. If you get my meaning. Kind of makes them no more special than any other monthly anniversary.
For valentines day buy her a rose and or a box of chocolates. If you want to go all out maybe a necklace or bracelet with a heart on it. Whatever you can afford to do. OR, You could try your hand at making her cookies or something if you want an extra special touch. The fact that you did it yourself alone is special. :)

so me and B were friends for three years, and then she started really messing up her life. she even ran away once, and her whole family was on my case because they thought i was hiding something, which i wasnt. i was just the last person to talk to her.
so a few months ago, im at my bf's house and she calls and starts yelling at me because i didnt tell her i had a boyfriend. which, to me, thats no big deal. she dates a new guy every week, and i dont even know about half of them until their long gone. and like i really care, anyways...
and then about a month ago, she texts me asking if i wanna come over. i told her i was staying the night at my bf's house. and she gets pissed and tells me that im neglegent and that i have no time for my friends anymore. and thats not true. i make plans with a lot of my friends, going to my bf's house is just a last resort on a boring day, and she had just asked at a bad time. i tried to tell her this, and she cussed me out and then i just stopped answering her calls and texts.
then a few weeks ago, she started going to my church!!!! luckily, ive gotten out of going to church for a few weeks because my dad doesnt have to play in the choir. but hes gonna start up again soon and i absolutely HAVE to go. B has been sitting right behind my family for the past couple of weeks and i really dont wanna see her.
how do i cope with her? i dont wanna be her friend anymore. i am 110% COMPLETELY sick of her, and i dont know how to deal with her at church. especially since and i cant cuss her out and dump her in a sanctuary. -.-''
can someone tell me how i can avoid her? or just tell her i hate her guts...without putting it like that? (PS, i dont have any friends at my church, so dont tell me to just go sit with someone else)
im so sorry this is long. O.O thanks for any advice!! (link)
|
You sit with your family and let her sit with her own. Sounds like she has a screw loose to me. Let them deal with her.
If you no longer want to be friends with her, you are going to have to just tell her that. It doesn't have to involve cussing or being nasty on your part.
If she hasn't gotten that message already, simply say "I no longer want to hang out with you or be friends with you."If she throws a screaming fit, so be it. You don't have to do the same thing.
It doesn't matter where you do it. School, church or the parking lot. Outcome is the same.

okay well my boyfriend is having a party in two weeeks and i really am excited. The only bad thing is is that all his friends do drugs and drink. My boyfriend dosne't do these things but he still will allow it at his party. I have 2 problems
1. I cant tell my parents because they would not let me go if that stuff was going on there. i have never been to a party like this before so i am kinda nervous myself.
2. My friends are super good and won't come of there is drugs and alcohol there either so i will be by myself. My boyfriend is super popular and it is his party so he will be mingling with others there to. Not just me.
So what should i do? (link)
|
It could send an important message to others having party's if those who disapprove simply don't go to the party. If your boyfriend isn't into all that then allowing it is like a big "I'm OK with this".
It will also get him (and you) hauled to jail along with the rest if its found these things are going on and the party is busted.
You already know all this I'm sure. Be smart about
it. :)
