How do I become more alert and less tired/drowsy?
Posted Wednesday September 24 2008, 4:27 am
I am always tired and drowsy. When I go to school, I usually nod off in a few of my classes. It's really embarrassing because I've tried many things to stay awake! The tiredness isn't good because sometimes I miss a few crucial parts of the notes I'm taking in class.
I think I'm getting enough rest every night. I usually sleep about 7 hours, maybe a little more. I don't do anything that requires a whole lot of energy early in the day so I can't understand why I'm always so tired!
I'm even tired on the weekends when school is out. I can sleep at any time of the day. I don't want to be tired anymore. It seems like I'm always trying to make room in my day for a nap to relieve the drowsiness, but it never ...

Does Sodium Lauryl Sulfate cause cancer?
Posted Wednesday September 24 2008, 4:18 am
I heard that Sodium Lauryl Sulfate causes cancer. I noticed that it's in my shampoos and toothpastes (I'm sure lots of other things too). I was reading that using shampoo with Sodium Lauryl Sulfate in it will cause brain and skin cancer. It also said that Sodium Lauryl Sulfate may also cause cancer in the mouth, throat, and bones (teeth). I do not want any type of cancer!
I KNOW this ingredient is used to create the foaming action in other products, but I don't understand why someone would put such a dangerous product in things we use daily. I am really hoping that this whole thing is a hoax/myth about Sodium Lauryl Sulfate causing cancer, but I have no idea and am getting frightened!
If it does cause canc...

Can you develop cancer (specifically breast cancer) from being bruised?
Posted Wednesday September 24 2008, 4:08 am
Can breast cancer be caused by getting hit/punched/pinched/bruised in the breast area? My mom had breast cancer and had a breast removed some years ago from the cancer, and when I got hit in the chest with a tennis ball a few days ago I bruised. My mom started going on and on about my likelihood at developing cancer. She kept saying that my chance of developing breast cancer was very, very high now since they were high to begin with from my mom having cancer previously.
My best friend said it isn't true that you can get cancer from having your breast bruised. She was in a car wreck not too long ago and had her chest all bruised up from it and never developed cancer. My mom told my best friend that her chances of developi...

I'm a body full of anger.
Posted Tuesday September 23 2008, 3:56 pm
I don't know what's wrong me, i've looked online some disorders but i'm not sure which one i have..
I got this problem.. I constantly replay in my mind for weeks things that have bothered me. I'm the type of person that can't let things go. The more i think of them, the more upset i get. Hell, i even argue with myself why i said it or why that person said what they said. Also, i get mad at my parents alot, mostly about my vegeterianism. I get so mad to the point that i begin to cry(which i hate because i then i look like the weak one y'know). I lock myself in my room and begin throwing things. I think i might be crazy sometimes, i begin thinking of ways my dad or brother can die. Like, when they went to Honduras, there where ...

Alright, so each month in the few days right before my period I get excessively horny. I end up feeling the need to masturbate a couple times a day even if my boyfriend and I do have sex. Is it normal to get horny like this?

joslin diabetes center
Posted Sunday September 21 2008, 9:18 pm
Hi, I'm 15 years old, about to be sixteen in november, and I'm very active as I play many sports. I went to go get a physical in august where they took a bunch of blood and tested my hormones and what not because I have really bad periods. One of the nurses called my mom and told her that my hormones were elevated and that probably just means that I will go on the pill or she (my doctor) might want her to go see and endocrinologist. So that was a week or two ago and now they have sent in the mail that they have set up an appointment at Joslin Diabetes Center. The date is not right away it's in December, but this really makes me nervous. What is the likely hood I have some kind of cancer or diabetes? Or am I getting nervous for nothing?

Period? (Girls only, please)
Posted Sunday September 21 2008, 8:39 pm
(Sorry but this is a little awkward) I'm 14 and I've never had my period. Recently, it's been feeling...uhm...sort of itchy and uncomfortable... and it's gotten me really worried. It hasn't been anything but stinging. Then, a couple days ago, there was a little tiny bit of blood when I went to the bathroom, and it really freaked me out, but I calmed myself down. It also really hurts when I wipe myself... Then, today, there was a lot of discomfort, and when I went to the bathroom, my underwear had a huge stain from something in it, and when I wiped, the tissue paper had a lot of blood on it. So I just put a wad of toilet paper in my underwear and went back to lunch (we were at a restaurant). When I got home I changed my underwear, and I also...

hairy forehead
Posted Sunday September 21 2008, 9:55 am
i used to never have hair on my forehead but lately its all hairy. at least the hair is fine but plucking is really annoying. i dont know if waxing would be a good idea near my eyebrows and if waxing will even get the small hairs out.
why does this happen? hormone disruption?
maybe i never noticed the ubiquity of the hairs on my forehead before?
i once razored my forehead but isnt that a myth that hair will grow back more abundant and thicker

Birth Control: Pap Smear
Posted Thursday September 18 2008, 3:02 pm
I understand that you have to get a pap smear before going on birth control. I read on the website below that if you haven't had sex before (and I haven't), then you do not need to have a pap smear done. I've never heard this before, can anyone tell me if it's true or how I can find out for sure?

trying to avoid the dr ..please help!
Posted Thursday September 18 2008, 2:28 pm
Ok so I'm wondering what the phases of a boil are. First off to pin point that it is a boil and second to figure out where its at at this point. Its got the online symptoms like being hard and red and painful yada yada. Its kinda at a purple looking bump now and its about the size of a nickel. So far Ive been using the black salve on it and soaking it and that's the major chance so far so I was thinking its on its way to forming a head really soon. Is this normal for it to be doing that though? I just wanna avoid the doctor especially if it is a boil because there are alot of easy home remedies for it. Any help would be useful. Also its in the groin area.
