When I get my period I always feel so sick like I have to throw up. Sometimes I even get diarrhea and it's embarrassing and uncomfortable. I don't know why I always get so sick throughout my whole entire period. My mom doesn't seem like her period even effects her when she's on it and my friend said her period never makes her feel different like sick.

Why do I get sick during my period then? (link)
Menstrual problems are due to various reasons and hormonal imbalances and surges are cited as the possible causes.
Cramps are caused by prostaglandin which makes uterus contract.
Amenorrhea can be caused by stress, sudden weight loss, eating disorders.
Menorrhagia may be caused by estrogen and progesterone imbalances or clotting disorders.
Walking and exercising about a week prior to periods will help to avoid cramps.
Relieving stress by engaging in favorite activities also help to reduce menstrual problems.

Ok, I absolutely HATE my nose!!! I have a bump nose, and it's terrible! I would get plastic surgery, but i'm only 14 :[ is there any way to change it without plastic surgery? I live in Arkansas so I don't know if there is somewhere to go or anything. And please don't preach to me about how getting plastic surgery is "wrong". I don't care, it would make my self confidence a HELL of a lot better! THANKS! (link)
Every one is conscious of how they appear. So a little fix of those “ugly” body features will make them feel beautiful about themselves. If you feel that you do not have a perfectly shaped nose that you would like to be your best facial feature, there are a lot of clinics offering surgical services to fix the imperfections in the body.
Feeling good about how one looks definitely gives one confidence that one will need, to be more sociable and presentable and emotionally confident.
The purpose of a nose surgery is, for the nose to have a more pleasing harmony with other features of the face.

I really need to find out because my girlfriend has warts! Am I going to get them to? Does anybody know for sure are warts contagious? Thank you to anybody who can answer me one way or the other. I will rate you! (link)
The virus that causes warts is called HPV or human papillomavirus and can be passed on through physical and direct contact and a small cut in the skin can be ideal case.
Picking or scratching on the warts may lead to infection to other parts of the body. Viral particles can be easily carried to another person upon touching. Warts evolve slowly and may take around 12 months to develop on the skin after the exposure to virus.
Avoid touching anyone who has warts and also sharing towels, handkerchiefs, and other things that can transmit the virus should be avoided.

So I've had a few issues with blood. It wasn't that bad at first, but still alarming. It started in high school shortly after I had my gall bladder removed (at 15) and I was told that things wouldn't change much at all, but I might want to watch my diet). I had tests done for possible problems back then, but nothing came up. It was assumed that I was just straining too hard.

In the last couple of years there has been a lot of blood in the toilet, but only on rare occasions. Each time it happens, there isn't much pain involved, if any, and it only lasts for a couple of days. I'm starting to think that it happens when I have a lot of dairy products. I'm kind of hoping it's just a result of the gall bladder being removed and it's nothing serious. I notice I've eaten a lot of things with cheese or ice cream in the days right before it happens.

I guess I'm wondering if I should just try to change my diet or if I should just go to a hospital. I don't have health insurance, so I wouldn't be able to afford anything like a colonoscopy. I imagine without insurance, that type of procedure could be out of my range.

Does anyone have advice? Any advice would be helpful. (link)
