Cancer
Posted Thursday July 26 2007, 2:07 pm
Im 16/f and my cousin has cancer. He is 8 years old and has only 10% chance of living. The cancer started in his legs and now is in his back. He has tumors in his legs and one by his heart. His back bones are disinagrating(spelling) and today we found out that the cancer ate his leg bone away and now his leg is broke.
This is so hard for me. But im a cheerleader and was thinking about having a carwash for him, giving his parents all the money, even if its only 100$. Do you think thats a good idea? And does anyone have any ideas to raise money. We are doing a poker run and a golf thing. And almost all the money for those thigns are going to him. Any ideas that I can do? Please help. thank you!

Chest pain
Posted Sunday July 22 2007, 11:43 pm
I've had some uncomfortable feelings in my chest for almost 3 weeks now. I've also had a cough for equally as long. I only cough a few times a day but when I do, it always ends with me gagging as if i would throw up, but i dont. I've gone to the doctor and they've all told me it was probably anxiety(I've been under a lot of stress lately) another doctor suggested it could be an infection in my chest and started me up on anti biotics. All other tests came out fine, my blood pressure is normal, heart rate is normal, and when the doctors listen to my heart, everything is normal. Anyways, I had a sudden chest pain exactly where my heart was today, it only lasted about a second but on the pain was a 9 or 10 out of 10. Is this something I should be worried about?

What to do about exercising
Posted Sunday July 22 2007, 10:00 am
I have mono and I felt that I wasn't getting too tired. Even though I do have an enlarged spleen, I was told to avoid contact sports, but could run if I felt up to it. Yesterday I decided to try walking for 30 mins to an hour and took a friend with me. I was fine during the whole walk and we hung out after. I got home a bit late, after 10, and felt horrid. My whole body was sore, I was extremely tired, and my spleen was definitely enlarged and I could feel it when I went to lay down. Now I'm still extremely tired. My body is exhausted and I felt as though I barely slept, even though I slept 10 and 1/2 hours. I don't even think I want to try running. The enlarged spleen scares me because it gives me back pain and obviously walking tired me o...

Coxsackie virus..
Posted Friday July 20 2007, 3:34 pm
Last year I got sick with something the doctors called "the coxsakie virus" and thats what they THOUGHT, they had to look in their books and etc, because they honestly had no idea at first.
It caused symtoms that looked like the hand foot and mouth disease, I had sore like blisters everywhere, (i mean everywhere, i went to prime care and they just thought i had a bladder infection, but they were wrong)
The doctor said there is nothing they could give me for it, and its just waiting it out.
I felt like I was going to die, I swear.
It really left emotional and PHYSICAL scars, that really to this day still hurt me (the emotional).

I have this weird heart condition called P.O.T.S its where my blood of my body puddles in my ankles.

My doctor said that it will last for 2 years or so. This year I missed like 3 months if you add it all up I bet.

I just want something that I can say to my friends that would help them understand I dont feel good. Please please pleaseee help!

my parents don't believe me..
Posted Wednesday July 18 2007, 11:07 am
I firmly believe that I have a mental illness. Not something serious. Just like a personality disorder. However, my parents think I'm perfectly normal...and just exaggerating. However, I'm not. But whenever I try to tell them, they shrug it off and refuse to let me go to a therapist or something. What can I do to make them listen to me? Is there some kind of online or on-the-phone service? Thank you. =]

I did something really stupid
Posted Tuesday July 17 2007, 2:50 am
ok... i know i sound insane, but im 14/f
some guy i love in florida wanted to kill himself
i felt helpless and i tried to stop him. i told him i would tell my mom, but we live a good day away from him.
i couldnt do anything, i dont know if he died.
i wanted to kill myself, i love him, and i couldnt stop him.
at first, i tried to hang myself, i became shaky and delirious
so i tried to calm down, and i couldnt.
so i went into the kitchen, and grabbed the nearest pill bottle, ibuprofen.
i put the bottle to my mouth, and swallowed.
the problem is, i swallowed seven. i know i sound crazy, but ive NEVER overdosed in my life with anything.

Stomach Pains.
Posted Monday July 16 2007, 5:25 pm
Almost everyday I am sick. I have MAJOR stomach pains everyday. It's not because of my period, I would tell the difference. But it's causing me to not pay attention in school, ruins my day, and I can't talk to people. My parents refuse to think it could be anything serious. I've been getting this for years. When I went to the doctors 2 years ago, she said it was nothing major. I'm usually NEVER nasious when I get it. It's ruining my life and I feel like nothing can help. :(

period problems... birth control pills?
Posted Sunday July 15 2007, 2:07 pm
15/f
I get bad period symptoms.... well I think they're bad anyway. I'm pretty sure they'd be classified as bad symptoms too.
i'vw talked to my mom about it a little, but i dont want to talk to my doctor because im pretty sure that if i did, it'd end up being something really serious and i dont want to deal with that.
i heard that birth control pills can make ur period go away.
is that true? because thats the answer ive been looking for.
if i dont have a period, then i wont have these problematic syptoms. ok....
so my mom says that you can be permanently infertile by taking birth control pills, but ever since i was little, i NEVER wanted to have biological children.
