tired of using drugs....want to stop using drugs...how can I stop?
Posted Tuesday October 6 2009, 12:39 am
I'm really addicted to a form of drug. I won't go into details because I don't think it's allowed and I REALLY don't want other people doing this sort of thing so hang with me on this.
I have been "using" for three years now. I have seen my mind go downhill. My health isn't what it was. I'm simply not as bright as I use to be and it's hard to focus on one subject sometimes now. I am ashamed of myself because I feel so consumed by this drug. I know I'm very addicted mentally, at the very least. I want to stop.
I've tried to stop using before but I always go back to it. It's like my safety. My comfort. It's my entire personality now. I don't know what I would do without it sometimes. I feel ...

Mosquito bites?! Anyone know how to relief the itchy-ness?!?
Posted Sunday October 4 2009, 9:00 pm
Okay so last week at school I was wearing short shorts and mini skirts all week long since it was so hot out. My friends and I usually sit outside on the bleachers for lunch and there was quite a few mosquitos I think or bee's or something. (I'm not sure) and by Friday both of my legs were covered in tiny little red pumps and I'm itching like hell. My mom was freaked when she saw my legs and I was to and I just figured they were mosquito bites or something. Anyways I'm trying to relief the itching and I HAVE no idea how. I'm not sure these are mosquito bites or an allergic reaction or like WHATEVER and it has me freaked. Anyone know how to relief the itching or what it might be?!

Constipation
Posted Sunday October 4 2009, 8:44 pm
I eat fiber everyday for breakfast and lunch. I exercise whenever possible 2-3 times a week. I drink as much water as I can. I stay constipated. I don't know what to do anymore. There are some days where I can't go for 3 days unless I use a laxative. I've asked my mom if I can go see a doctor, but she keeps telling me they're just going to tell me to do what I've been doing. Is there no medication? I've been held back because of this for a while now. I can't deal with it anymore. There must be a solution. I cry a lot. It's hurting me emotionally because I can't help myself. I feel very helpless. :'(

I have heartburn and bad breath, what is it pls?
Posted Sunday October 4 2009, 8:23 am
3 months ago i had heartburn for about 2 weeks and i took gaviscon and i had no more heartburn. Now, I have heartburn again and my bf told me also that I have bad breath. I have no infection in my teeth or gums so I think it's something from the stomach.
I think it is better to go to the doctor!!
Can heartburn and bad breath be related?? Is it something serious or nothing to worry about? Is there someone who had the same problem?? Any help pls?

Should have I have the Gardasil cervical cancer HPV vaccine shot?
Posted Friday October 2 2009, 1:15 am
I'm 14, in 10th grade now, and I'm due to have my cervical cancer vaccination, Gardasil, next friday, but since a girl died from it recently I've been looking into it more. I'm now having second thoughts because of some of the facts. Turns out that the Gardasil vaccination only helps to prevent four of the HPV strains out of over a hundred. That doesn't sound like such great odds to me anyway. Out of 700,000 girls 1,300 have had adverse side effects which includes paralysis, sight problems seizures, and sudden death. They haven't researched what the vaccine may do to you in the long-term future either...like the morning sickness shot they gave pregnant women years ago, that left babies deformed in the end! I'm afraid that this shot may ca...

How can I help my mom stop smoking?
Posted Thursday October 1 2009, 7:43 pm
My mom has been smoking for SO many years and I really hate it because it's getting harder for her to breathe and I see that. She even has that smoker's cough now and it's disgusting. I talked to her about it last week and she said she is ready to stop smoking and start taking better care of herself. She is afraid of the withdrawals though and is nervous that she won't be able to stop. How can I help her to stop smoking? What is the best way to stop smoking. I told her there were lots of stop-smoking methods but she wants the full "plan" before she makes a decision on what she is going to prepare to do. I'm really proud of her for making this decision and I'm glad I brought up my concerns to her about smoking. Please help me help her!

Is urine in the blood a bad sign? Is it a sign of chlamydia?
Posted Thursday October 1 2009, 7:19 pm
I have been peeing a little blood today and I know it's not my period or anything like that. I was wondering if it was a sign of chlamydia because the guy I slept with two weeks ago just told me like yesterday that he has chlamydia and hasn't been treated for it yet. He was serious. Should I go to the doctor or just let it go away on it's own? It's not a lot of blood or anything and I don't have any signs of a STD so I don't think it can be chlamydia, right?

mentral cramps
Posted Thursday October 1 2009, 6:54 pm
my menstral cramps are absolutely terrible, like the first day they hurt so bad i'm like screaming. midol doesn't do much and neither does tylonol or anything really. i've heard that birth control helps it? but my mom won't let me get on bc because she says it causes breast cancer. (i was also thinking about birth control because i want to start having sex with my boyfriend of 2 years and i want to be safe) but yeah do you think birth control would be a good idea for me? what are some of the side effects and how can i convince my mom to let me on it? thanks

What is the average life expectancy?
Posted Thursday October 1 2009, 6:44 pm
Simple question, I guess. My friend says it's 70 but I heard it was like 75 or 80. Does anyone know what the average life expectancy is right now? We're in the United States so that might be a factor, right?

does brushing your teeth really help prevent heart attacks later in life?
Posted Thursday October 1 2009, 6:34 pm
I was at work the other day and someone came through my line at the store (yeah, I'm a cashier). Anyway, he was buying some toothbrushes and toothpaste and I asked him if the toothpaste tasted good because I am trying to find something new to switch to because the one I'm using right now really sucks, I think. So, he started telling me that brushing my teeth helps to prevent heart attacks when I am older and stuff. I don't know if this is true though and it sounds a little weird. I don't want to ask someone around me and sound really stupid though because I mean...your teeth? Brushing preventing HEART attacks? Uhmmm...
Does anyone know if there was any truth to that or was he just talking?

I keep throwing up in my mouth...how can I make this stop?
Posted Wednesday September 30 2009, 4:04 pm
Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone could help me out with this problem. I've recently started throwing up in my mouth more frequently. You know the way you do it every year or few years or so? Where it comes up in the back of your mouth but not enough to come out really? It kind of burns, too. Well, recently I have been doing it loads and I don't know why. Is it something to worry about? Will it go away soon? Should I see a doctor? What is this called anyway? Just throwing up in the mouth??? Help... :(

Where can I get the facts (and bad side-effects) about the Gardasil vaccine
Posted Wednesday September 30 2009, 3:59 pm
Okay, I'm 14, and I received the 3rd and final Gardasil shot on August 5, 2009. I know it's suppose to help prevent me from getting some of the HPV strains but not all of them. Before I started the vaccinations I didn't read up on the Gardasil itself.
I've now read many stories about all these girls having these life-threatening problems, and even death in some cases. I know these things are serious because I had read them on reliable sites. My problem is that I can't remember the sites I had gone to that had this information on it.
I want to show my mom that she and my little sister shouldn't get the vaccination because of the serious side effects associated with Gardasil. Could someone send me some relia...

Brownish Discharge
Posted Wednesday September 30 2009, 1:04 am
18/f
I actually don't know how to word this haha, so please bear with me.
I started to get a brownish discharge about 2-3 days ago. Sometimes there would be a reddish color to it, but usually it is nor. I have had regular periods and if it is on schedule, my next one should be next week.
I tried googling this, it came up with similar results but the cause was different. Most of the causes were based on birth control pills, STD/STIs, sexual activity, pregnancy, etc. I am not sexually active, nor have I ever had sex. Some answers to this question say stuff like: it's normal, it might be cervical cancer, an infection or something about dry blood and the uterine lining.
Advice on what is hap...
