What's a normal blood pressure range for someone with diabetes?
Posted Friday November 14 2008, 1:34 am
I recently went to the doctor, because i've been feeling lightheaded non-stop for about a week now. The doctor said i'm probably getting the flu. They tested me for diabetes while I was there. They said that my blood pressure was at 80. My mom said that that's a low blood pressure. My oldest sister seems to think that I might have diabetes, because i've had increased thirst, frequent urination, I don't feel as lightheaded if I drink juice, my appetite has decreased, and all that stuff. I'm not too sure about any of it. Anyway my question is what's a normal blood pressure range for someone with diabetes? I'm 15 by the way if that helps at all.

weird patch on my cheek
Posted Saturday November 8 2008, 5:41 pm
for about two months i have had these bumps on my cheek in the same area. They are redish/ white and are for sure not pimples. One of the bumps seems to be growing and looks like a white bubble. It hurts just a bit when I press on it. I am 25 and my mother had skin cancer on her cheek when she was thirty. Does anyone have any clue on what it could be? Please do not tell me to go to the doctor because I have no health insurance and am extremely broke. thank you

breast cancer aged 15?
Posted Thursday November 6 2008, 12:13 pm
15/f
I'm really, really worried.
I know I'm only 15, but a few weeks ago I noticed that my left breast was persistently hurting and aching, and that the area around the outside of my breast and my armpit seemed thicker than usual, and slightly swollen.
The pain went away after about five days, but during the last week it's come back. At the moment, the whole breast feels very tender and painful, and at times it feels like there's stabbing pains in it. Also, the outer side and armpit of the breast is still slightly swollen.
It's really worrying me. I even got my mum to check if she could feel anything, but she said she couldn't.
Does this sound like cancer?
What should I do?

cutting
Posted Monday November 3 2008, 4:23 pm
Hi, I'm hoping you can help me. & Not tell me to go talk to my school couslar or a professinal, my friends, or even my family. I won't do it.
I use to cut in 7th & 8th grade. (Wrists) I recently (about 5 months ago) cut on my leg because I couldn't take it. I told myself it's the last time I'd do it.
Well, I can't take it any longer. We're reading a book in English 2 where this kid cuts himself because of his life, Wanna know what I did when I had to read it? I cried. & I didn't read the rest.
I don't know who I can talk to without them telling my parents, or me going on 24/7 sucidide watch. I'm not that bad. I wanna talk to my favorite teacher, but I CAN'T.
What can...

Not strep? What is it?
Posted Wednesday October 22 2008, 6:40 pm
Ok, I've never had strep throat, I still have my tonsils. Worst case, I've had some sore throats but nothing like this. Symptoms:
-headache (not sure if it's cause by throat or just the fact that it's been quite rainy lately)
- Conjestion? I think that's what it is, I sniff a lot even though there's nothing in my nose and it's in the back of my throat so it makes a snorting noise.
-It feels like my tonsils are swollen and it hurts to swallow. I checked my throat last night and it was really red.
I went to the school nurse today and she said it didn't look like I had strep throat because my tonsils weren't swollen or red, but they were this morning. I can't go to the doctor because ...

Is there a website to see celebrities who have or have had cancer?
Posted Wednesday October 8 2008, 8:35 pm
I know some people with breast cancer, lung cancer, and even bone cancer. It's really sad to see these people suffering while it seems like the American Cancer Society doesn't do much to save them of the various cancers. Sure, the American Cancer Society addresses good nutrition but I believe they could go a lot further in prevention and treatment than they do. Any way it is, cancer is horrible and I've heard many times that having a positive outlook on life really makes a difference.
For my friends, I want to supply them with websites (or A website if there is a decently constructed one) of celebrity cancer survivors and celebrities who currently suffer from cancer.

Itching after yeast infection?
Posted Saturday September 13 2008, 8:07 pm
I had a horrible yeast infection, and my gyno prescribed me genazyole-1 and that's cream you insert up there, and i ended up having to use it twice, and now.. It's slowly clearing up. I used it about 3.5 days ago, and everything was going good, and it was still comming out of me for those days. And then, now today i got a really bad itch again, and some white discharge that was fluid like and seemed pretty normal.
no horrible fishy smells or nothing, but i put vagisil on and i know i irritated the skin some from itching.
Is this normal?
