Posted Saturday July 7 2007, 1:48 am
15/f
wel, my boyfriend has been sick for the past 3 weeks, been to the doctor 4 times, and they've found nothing, but recently, i've been feeling the same he has.
i've been very dizzy, strong headaches, upper stomach pains, sharp lower stomach pains, and sometimes ear aches.
does this sound similar to anything you've had? know what this could be?
also, i'm sexually active, so could i be pregnant? my boyfriend generally uses condoms, but didnt a while back.
what could be wrong with me?

My knee
Posted Monday July 2 2007, 8:18 pm
Well a year ago around this time I was at a soccer game and hyper extended my knee out of place.
I had to wear a knee brace for about 2 months.
My knee still hurts today if I keep it bent for long.
Or if I stay sitting down for a long time with my legs normally dangling off the couch, it still hurts my knee to be in one place for a hile.
It's only my right knee.
I was wondering if this is anything to worry about, or if I should go to a doctor, to get x-rays.
Thanks a lot.
:D

Strep Throat
Posted Thursday June 28 2007, 1:15 pm
I was diagnosed with Strep throat yesterday. I was put on medication. I have to take 2 doses 3 times a day. So far, I've only had 3 doses. 1 before I went to sleep, 1 in the morning, 1 at lunch, etc etc. I still feel really sick & all but it said it takes a few days to kick in. When would it be ok to start exercising again? I get my fever on & off. The sore throat is still there. I haven't exercised since monday, I got the strep tuesday. When would it be ok to go back to my normal routine? I'm afraid to go right back to it tomorrow because I have only been eating cereals, jello, toast, & crackers. Obviously that isn't enough energy to run but I have been drinking lots of fluids. Should I just start fresh on monday? The reason I'...

tiredness
Posted Wednesday June 27 2007, 2:04 pm
Recently I've been needing a lot of sleep. I've been getting about thirteen hours a day, if not more. I'm absolutely exhausted and cannot get up any earlier. I don't feel otherwise sick.
My question: is this a symptom of any sicknesses or anything?

my boyfriends problem
Posted Wednesday June 27 2007, 12:31 am
I'm dating a guy right now. he's really smart. i'm not just saying that because i'm dating him. he really is quite intelligent. he has a sore on the inside of his lip. he says it's herpes, but that oral herpes isn't contageous. that doesn't sound right to me. i always thought it was contageous. i looked at the sore and it looked nothing like herpes, at least not like the pictures i've seen in school. i don't know much about herpes, but i know i don't want to get it. i really don't know what to do.

poor circulation? hypoventilation?
Posted Tuesday June 26 2007, 3:48 am
My feet are always purple/ red, especially after standing.. and i mean a short period of time, like taking a shower. My hands are often a purply red color too. Also, my hands and feet are cold most of the time. Sometimes when i stand up after sitting, or just randomly, i won't be able to see anything except these weird grey fuzzy swirls. Could it be poor circulation? Low oxygen in the blood?
I've been googling purple feet and other disorders, but each disorder leads to a different cause, which leads to a different disorder, so i'm just wondering if anyone happens to know from experience, or something.
Thanks.
