Period Problems
Posted Tuesday January 19 2010, 5:23 am
18/f
I have had a regulated period for the last year or two, and have recently come across a problem regarding it. In July of 2009, my period stopped. I got signs that it might be coming, but it never did. In December of 09, I finally thought I was going to get it and I never did. Instead, I started spotting. I would get times where I would bleed (so I would assume it was my period), but then the bleeding would stop later in the day. This has been going on for the past month.
I don't know what to do. I can't really see a doctor because my dad's health insurance dropped me, and I was recently let go from my job. My boyfriend and I are in debt, so neither of us could really pay for a doctor's appointment. (His d...

Food that helps you poop
Posted Tuesday January 19 2010, 2:38 am
Ok I am just going to be blunt with this whole thing. I am constipated and I haven't been able to poop for almost a week now. I usually poop at once every two days or so. I am really unhappy and it's making me feel AWFUL! I have sat on the toilet for a long time trying but am unable to just do it.
Please, help me! What food helps you poop? And what makes you constipated anyway so I can try to avoid that again?

finding balance - 17/f
Posted Monday January 18 2010, 12:04 pm
My whole life I have been really active. I did a sport every year in HS and ran/worked out during off season. However, my health now is not good. I started my 1st job in September as a server for a nursing home. While I do get a lot of exercise from picking up heavy trays and running around, I haven't been getting the exercise that I need. My eating has also been whack since I pig out on food when I'm working. Prior to working as a server, I had a lot of issues with food. I struggled (and still do) with bulimia and disordered eating. I wish I had more time to do stuff with my health, but I work so much (5/7 days a week) and don't have time to do anything when I get home from work (I basically go to work right after school, don't get home un...

Making out causes puffy lips. Making out creates a cold sore???
Posted Saturday January 16 2010, 2:19 am
I have coldsores sometimes but usually only when I've been sick. Well, I have this boyfriend I've been making out with every weekend and it seems like I always keep getting coldsores after we make out! WHY?! My lips get all swollen and weird after we're finished and when I wake up the next day I have a cold sore. I'm getting tired of this. What can I do to stop these cold sores from making out?!

What causes acne?
Posted Saturday January 16 2010, 1:53 am
My mom always said that dirt caused acne and so you should wash your face twice a day. Well, I heard at school from a friend that things you eat (like chocolate) actually cause acne. I had a teacher once to say that hormonal fluctuations cause acne. What causes acne, specifically facial acne?

What is a good acne wash?
Posted Saturday January 16 2010, 1:52 am
I need a new face wash but something that isn't too drying. I'm using an off-brand equate thing I got from Wal-Mart but it dries my face out too much for the winter time when I go outside into the cold, dry air. What is a good brand to look for, or, more specifically, a good product to look for? I don't mind having to order it online as long as it isn't outrageously expensive...
Please help me get rid of my acne?

what is wrong with me
Posted Friday January 15 2010, 11:45 pm
I'm really nervous. I feel like something serious is wrong with me. For the past few weeks I've been feeling extremely dizzy and lightheaded. It feels like the start of a panic attack, where I feel 'out-of body'... but it's not a panic attack.. I don't know a better way to explain it.
I have a lot of weird symptoms:
-shortness of breath at times
-constant bags under eyes, no matter how much I sleep
-at times an unquenchable thirst, to the point where I can swallow water, and as soon as the water goes down my throat is dry again
-tender and stiff muscles
-fatigue/sluggishness
- emotionally irritation
and these ones scare me a lot:
-cloudy head - i...

Well my husband and i have been married a little over a year now. I'm not on any form of birth control and when we have sex we dont ever use condoms and he never pulls out.

Wisdom Teeth- help!
Posted Thursday January 14 2010, 9:57 am
I recently got my wisdom teeth out (last friday, so about 6 days ago) and i'm really worried, because it seems that my whole upper part of my mouth has shifted FORWARD,leaving me with an overbite and space in between my top* and bottom* teeth (which i didn't have before) I'm reaaaally upset, because my teeth where in great shape before the surgery, i just got my braces off last year.I now talk with a slight lisp because of it. And now i have this ugly,horrible overbite and i'm scared that its permanent! I still have a good amount of swelling in the back of my teeth, and also have trouble stretching my jaw- so my main question is-
Is this over-bite permanent or is it just because i still have some swelling in the back of my ...

Creepy Dreams
Posted Wednesday January 13 2010, 10:48 pm
So I keep having these dreams in black in white where everything is dark and there's like a small scene. like one time I came out of my cousins house and there was a strange man there then I hear a scream but it slowly fades and I wake up and my muscles are very tense. I think it's because I have just started to fall asleep. Then I had a dream of a man outside a parking lot with my friend and then I hear the scream fade and I wake up, paralyzed again but I CAN move out of it, I just feel so tense. but the one that scared me the most was last night when I dreamt a man came to my house and shot my family...yet it came from the mans perspective, going to each room in the house but he left my house before he got me. Then I woke up and this time...

is this a yeast infection?
Posted Wednesday January 13 2010, 6:25 pm
15/f
My vagina doesn't itch terribly, but it does itch. I get a looot of discharge, but it's clear and thin and has a sour smell to it. When i open up my vagina though, i see this white clumpy goo stuff surrounding my clit. You can smell my vag out of my clothes sometimes! Like i'm at school, and i can start to smell it, so i just cross my legs. I have monistat to treat it if i need to. But on the box it says not to use if the discharge smells? So i'm not sure if i have it or not. I can't go to a doctor though. so don't suggest that. thanks!

Birth Control (Yasmin)
Posted Wednesday January 13 2010, 3:42 pm
I'm 17 and I'm on Yasmin and I have been for about 6 months, so far its good!
i just searched my birth control on google curiously and i saw that my birth control is supposably deadly and a lot of people have been hurt from it (liver disease and blood clots) ... above all the other birth controls.
I wanna switch my birth control now, i mean i know its unlikely that ill get health problems with it but you know its something that scares me. but i love this birth control it worked on my skin really well, i didnt gain or loose weight (im like exactly 100 pounds so im pretty small), but my periods still suck.. i have my period now and its not that light and i have pretty bad cramps, i had to leave school early today because they w...

Monistat without applicator
Posted Tuesday January 12 2010, 6:00 pm
I have a yeast infection and i used monistat 3 but it didn't work so i got another one thinking it would work and two days in i was still itchy. I told my mom and she said it was weird and i told her i dont use the applicator i just push in the pill with my finger and she said thats why its not working. Is that true? Would the pill really just be useless if it isn't pushed far enough in with the applicator?
