my doctor called and left a message on our voicemail. she said that after looking at my blood i was normal except that my blood sugar level was real low. it was 59 and normal is at the lowest 70. she asked if i have been feeling tired/sluggish a lot (and i do sometimes) and if yes, then we could maybe identify my problem. what would my problem be? and asked if i'm not feeling sluggish if i eat three meals a day. which i do, i probably eat more than that. i'm always hungry. what could my problem be?

I am not a doctor so I cannot diagnos your situation. But from experience as a nurse it sounds like hypoglcemia (low blood sugar). It does not really mean that you are diabetic. Sometimes your blood sugar lowers because maybe you did not eat or it depends on your activity before you took the test. However if your doctor orders more test and you continue to have low bllod sugar and is symptomatic your doctor may prescribe something to get your sugar up or may teach you how to control your sugar through your diet. When your feeling tired or hypoglycemic you can drink orange juice or eat a snack that consist of carbohydrates that will help boost your energy and bring your blood sugar up. Hope this advise helps you.

my knees are dark! why? and what can i do to get them to match the rest of mu body?! (link)

It is possible that you may have eczema it is a skin condition that causes your skin to become dry and darkened on your elbows and knees. you may need to use moisterizers such as aquaphor and 1% cortisone cream you can buy these over the counter. This will moisten your skin and get rid of the rough dry darken areas on your skin. I have eczema and my elbows and knees get darker too. you should always consult your doctor to have your skin assesed before using new creams such as cortisone on your skin to rule out the possibilities of any other conditions that may be causing a darkening of your knees(skin).

I haven't had a period for about 4 months now. I do notice that around the time I AM supposed to be having it, there's a tiny bit of thick dark brown stuff for about 2 days.I haven't even had the normal cramping and stuff i usually get around the time of my period. There has been no changes in my diet, there hasn't been any big changes in my life to cause stress, and I haven't had sex, so I really don't know whats up. I would go see a doctor, but my mom is a nurse and says it's normal to have irregular periods like this. Despite what she said, I still feel kind of worried. If it means anything I've been having normal periods for 2 years until 4 months ago and I remember the last "normal" period I had was abnormally short (2-3 days). So is this normal or should I really consider seeing a doctor? (link)

I am a nurse and I would recommend you see a doctor because miss periods can be a sign of many different conditions. Im not a doctor neither is your mother, so I cannot give you a diagnosis to your problem. But from the symptoms you describe it sounds like you need to seek the advice of a doctor. It is possible that you may have a feminine infection such as a bacterial infection in your fallopian tubes that could be affecting your periods. Please seek medical attention because you dont wont to prolong any medicaion that you may need to take to help you get better.

ok, so where should i start? i kinda met this guy through one of my friends. we had texted a lot and he calls me every night (this has been going on for about two weeks). we have been on a few dates and everytime he presses me to go farther and farther.
the guy is 4 years older than me. i'm in highschool and he's starting college. he lives about 30 mins away and its kinda difficult to see each other. also, he kinda has a gf, but tells me that he never gets to see her...
sometimes he calls me his private stripper. so far i haven't done anything with him, but he keeps on pressuring me to do something with him. i'm a virgin and want to save myself, but its so hard because he always sweet talks me and i'm kinda a sucker for that! lol
is he using me??? (link)

I am a 30 year old female and I have experienced what you are going through when I was your age. To be honest with you I think that he is trying to get in your pants. He knows your a virgin and finds some kind of excitement in that. If he has a girl friend you should stay away from this guy. If he is willing to cheat on his gf with you then he is no good, He would do the same to you. Stay a virgin for as long as you can, and set higher standards for yourself. I would advise you to save your virginity untill your married or atleast untill you find someone who wants only you and cares about you. Dont allow yourself to be used. If you feel bad about the situation that you are in then 9 times out of ten it is what it feels like. (A bad situation)
