really bad acne
Posted Tuesday January 30 2007, 4:26 pm
okay, i know this kid. he's 14/m. but he has WICKED bad acne. like its actually kind of gross. its all over his face, his back, etc. yeah. i feel bad that he has such bad acne, but he doesn't really seem to care. i used to be friends with him last year, but we kind of stopped talking cuz he found out i liked him (i'm female btw). i want to tell him about a germatologist to go to or some kind of acne product that will help him..but i'm not sure how to tell him without sounding rude.
i'm not trying to sound mean or harsh..but, i really would like to help him..

I know it is for acne, but is it a steroid?
And if it is not a steroid, why is there so many warnings against getting pregnant or empregnating someone while taking it?
And how often do you take it? My box came w/o instructions. Far out I know.

persistent coughing..
Posted Wednesday January 24 2007, 11:03 pm
I have been coughing horribly for 3 straight months! I went to my doctor and he said it was allergies mixed with acid reflex. He gave me medicine for both, and my acid reflex has gotten A LOT better but I'm coughing even more now! It sounds worse too, and I cough up mucus every time(yes, I know it's gross). Does this mean it's getting better or what? I can't go to the doctor again because my step dad thinks I'm a hypocondriac.

Alright I just eat a big bag of Sour Skittles..(the 151 g bag) and I was fine and then I was eating the sour powder. A few minutes after I coughed and pink stuff came up. It has a bit of an odour to it and I don't know what it could be. Also I've been suffering a sore throat could that have something to do with it?

antibiotics
Posted Saturday January 6 2007, 9:53 pm
I have an infected knee (the clinic doctor thinks) so I've been taking antibiotics for the infection. About 3 days after I started the antibiotics I started to get sick. Unless being sick is directly related to the antibiotics, I shouldn't be getting sick, right? Or am I wrong about what antibiotics do?

tonight i shaved my bikini area like i always do and accidently cutting myself isn't an unusual thing so when i did cut myself, some blood came out and i just blew it off. but when i got out of the shower, it wouldnt stop! it kept bleeding and bleeding. not gushing or a lot or anything but it just didn't seem to heal. well i put a band aid on it and after like an hour or so i took it off thinking it close up finally. but it didnt! what's going on!? i'm freaking out. thank youuuu
