hodgkinsons disease
Posted Friday May 18 2007, 9:36 pm
Sorry I'm not sure how you spell it but either Hodgkinsons or Hodgkins disease. Can someone tell me what that is and what the symptoms are?
I have a sore lump in my armpit which has been there for 3 days now. I'm absolutely petrified of telling someone coz I don't want to go to the doctors.
thanks

My Period.
Posted Thursday May 17 2007, 4:30 pm
This is probably in the wrong category, but I don't care.
Anyways:
I've had my period for 3 years. I hate having it. My cramps suck & they make me vomit sometimes. They hurt so much I don't even like going to school, let alone getting out of bed.
I took Midol 3 hours of ago & my cramps still hurt. They haven't gone away like they're supposed to. I'd ask my mom for more but the box is almost gone & I need it to last me the next 5 days. =( There's only 6 pills left! My mom won't buy any more because she's only got 20 dollars & it needs to last her until next week?
Anything else I can do to make these cramps go away? I'm really sick of them & being a girl & I just wann...

eating disorders...
Posted Monday May 14 2007, 9:24 pm
I used to be anorexic.
Now I am bulimic. Why? I can't help it. I try to eat healthy and I know I eat enough food. It's just, some nights I'll start eating something and then it goes on and on. I'm not even hungry! I just eat, and I can't stop. Then when whatever I was eating is gone, I either go to bed and swear that I'll never eat anything again unless I'm hungry, or if its not too late I'll run on my treadmill and then throw up, cause that's just what happens when you run after stuffing yourself.
So how do I break this vicious cycle? What the heck is my problem?!?!?

lost voice
Posted Monday May 14 2007, 6:38 pm
I lost my voice! agh... it totally sucks because my family kinda makes fun of me because i have to whisper when I talk. So far i'm taking medicine and drinking tea. Getting somewhat rest. is there anything else I can do to regain my voice?? I already missed 3 days of school and cannot afford to miss another day. I also was sick earlier with the flu and i went to the doctor about that, i don't think i should go again because last time was about 3 days ago.
Should i drink something hot or cold?
any medicine that DOES work?
what should i do??? thanks

motion sickness
Posted Sunday May 13 2007, 1:24 pm
I'm going to Six Flags in a few days with my friends. I'm usually not the type to ride roller coasters, but now i really want to ride some. The problem is, I don't know if i have motion sickness and I'm scared I might get sick. I've gotten sick on rides before, but that was because they were rides like the tea cups in disney world/land. My question is...what do I do if I do start to feel sick on a ride? Is there anything i can do to even prevent from possibly getting sick at all, like taking a medication? And last, if you're nauseated, what are some tips about how to feel better?

Sunburns...
Posted Friday May 11 2007, 6:10 pm
Well, yesterday I got sunburnt SOO bad. My arms are completely red, my legs, my face... Everything. And it hurts so bad. It burns and people have been calling me tomato all day.
I have been frequently applying aloe vera, but it hasn't been working, and it makes me feel gross and slimy... I just want to know, is there anything other than aloe vera that will make the burning and the redness go away fast?
Thanks in advance.

Eating disorder
Posted Thursday May 10 2007, 7:20 pm
lately i haven't been eating. & when i do, it's very little, & i check the calories to make sure it's like, 100.
when i feel sickly, i binge.
so far no one has noticed.. but i want to be healthy. i just can't bring myself to eat that much.
i don't know what i should do.
if i tell my parents, they'll probably baby me & make me see a doctor & constantly check me & i don't want that/think i need that.
i'm not fat, but i'm definitely not as skinny as other girls in my grade.
i'm done growing, so i know i won't grow into my weight.
i'd like to lose 10-15 pounds.
i'm obsessed with calories. i always run on my treadmill but the exercise doesn't help.
i only see a di...

A couple of days ago i started getting a really sore throat and now it's just scratchy and really annoying. Sometimes if i swallow i'll feel like i have strep or a fever but i don't. Any thing i can drink or take would be helpful just to get rid of this scratchy and sore throat!!!

Migraine advice please
Posted Monday May 7 2007, 1:24 pm
Does anyone have any reliable natural remedies for migraines? I don't like taking medication and the tablets don't work too well anyway.
I've seen the doctor and there's not a lot else that can be done, so I need to look elsewhere.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Can't Breathe?
Posted Sunday May 6 2007, 9:57 pm
One night I was taking a bubble bath and as soon as I got out of the tub I got all dizy and almost fell over. Then as I was drying off I looked into the mirror and noticed I was really pale. I went to my bedroom and just sat on my bed since I wasn't feeling good. I started to not be able to breathe and my throat started to close up. I went to go look for my inhaler but couldn't find it. Luckily, my brother's girlfriend brought over hers so I could use it. Was this an asthma attack?
My Mom said to keep an eye on if it happens again, like maybe if I had a allergic reaction to something?
Please help, thanks! :]

Cold Takes INT Damage
Posted Saturday May 5 2007, 11:14 pm
Ok, so I have a cold right now. I'm really stuffed up, and I have a short attention span as per usual (regularity when I have a cold). When I try to watch TV to pass time drinking loads of fluids/blowing my nose at the same time, I end up completely focusing off the TV and doing very tedious things such as biting/scraping my nails and messing them up and picking lint off my clothes.
I think it might be because I get less oxygen to my brain because I'm stuffed up, and it makes me dopey- and it's certainly not any medication because it happens with and without it.
Does anyone have any ideas to help me stop giving myself an overmanicure and keep me occupied?

Ovarian pain associated with common bladder infections?
Posted Saturday May 5 2007, 6:14 pm
I apologize for the length.
I have a bad cold first of all. So in this matter it probably only makes the pain worse.
I have 2 large hard spots on my abdomen about 2 inches (each side) away from my belly button and it connects down below my pantsline
(about 3 inches from my belly button.)
I also believe that I have contracted a UTI or bladder infection. (I've never had one before.)
I have pain when urinating and often feel the urge to constantly urinate, even after I go.
I have a history of ovarian cysts and i had one the size of a tennis ball a few years back.
The other day i remember myself having some ovarian pain but ignored it as it is usually normal for me.

Help I'm scared I have Cervical or
Posted Wednesday May 2 2007, 6:09 pm
Well my friend recently went to a gynecologist and was tested for endometrio cancer and cervical cancer. They werent quite sure if she had it so they sent the information out and she will find out in ten days. But for 1 month I have been bleeding and my period doesn't ever last that long, so now I'm worried I have the cancer too. First off, I feel I might have got it because me and my friend shared a dildo one night, I know bad idea, but we weren't thinking. Is cervical or endometrio cancer transferable, and if so does anyone think I could have gotten it from that? I don't really want to go get checked cause I'm terrified of doctors. So if anyone has any information I would love to know, or any opinons, and adivce would be helpful too. Thanks and please hurry I'm scared.
