Chest Pain but no Help
Posted Sunday December 31 2006, 1:58 am
I've been having chest pain since September. I told my mom about it at the end of September and we decided it was a pulled muscle and nothing to worry about. So I believed it, and after about two weeks the pain went away. Then in the beginning of November I began feeling it again. I was worried that it was something more serious, I told my mom, we decided to see if it would go away again...well it didnt. In the beginning of December I told my mom I wanted a doctors appointment to find out what was wrong and she agreed. Well it is now the end of December and still no appointment. I reminded her again in the middle of the month and she said "oh its still there?", again a couple days later with the same reaction. I've been reminding ...

alright. soo i've been peeing a ton lately. i usually go 4 or 5 times a day and lately ive been going 7+. I don't think I've been drinking excessive liquids. This has been going on for about 3 days. It doesn't burn when I pee or anything... I know that that's a urinary tract infection, I had that once before when I was a little kid. The only thing I can think of is that its the week before my period, but I don't think it'd make me pee this much, since I don't usually pee this much before my period.
So yeah... anyone have an idea whats wrong? I know that if it is a urinary tract infection you have to go to the doctor pretty fast or else it can turn into a kidney infection or something.
Ohh and idk if this relat...

Strep or allergies? This is a little bit long, sorry.
Posted Monday December 25 2006, 7:40 pm
The first day of December, I went to the allergist because I was sick. They said that I had a sinus infection, but they never took a strep test. A week or two later after taking zithromax and a feeling a little bit better, I started getting a sore throat, an extremely painful head ache, and a fever. My mom took me to a doctor's office (Urgent Care) and they took a strep test. It came out negative, but after looking at my throat and looking over my symptoms, they said that they thought I had strep because the tests are wrong sometimes. Now, since three days ago, my throat has been hurting worse than it was the other times and it's very hard to swallow. I'm also starting to get a headache. The only difference is that I've been sneezing a litt...

Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Wind
Posted Tuesday December 19 2006, 5:40 pm
I suffer from IBS and Coeliac Disease and these two problems combined make my digestive system somewhat...problematic.
Every time I take so much as a sip of water, I bloat out and get full of wind. I can't burp so I can't get rid of it and it stays there for HOURS, making me look pregnant!
I've tried hot water and honey, which didn't work and gripe water, which didn't work. I can't use a hot water bottle for personal reasons and can't have probiotic drinks because I'm lactose intolerant.
Can anyone suggest anything that could help me?? I'm so fed up with this I just want to cry all the time!!!

Posted Saturday December 2 2006, 4:05 pm
This is my 16th day on my period. Last month it lasted 14 days, and before that it was seven. I've had my period for a year and a half and I'm thirteen years old. I know that normal periods should last between 3-7 days, & mine has lasted 16 days. What could be wrong with me and what could I do? If I tell my mom she will probably make me go to the gynocologist, what will the gynocologist do?!
Thank you, and please help me .. i'm really scared.

Post-Infectious IBS
Posted Wednesday November 29 2006, 4:40 pm
19/F
Last week I came down with a stomach bug, but it went away within a day. Since then, I've been having digestive problems.
I went to the doctor's office today, and he said that I have post-infectious IBS.
Is it permanent? Will I be able to eat spicy/greasy food ever again?
If anyone has any experience with it, and any tips on how to make it better, that would be great.

penicillin?
Posted Tuesday November 28 2006, 7:35 pm
i got a shot of penicillin today for strep.
when i was leaving the doctor's office, i got dizzy, my body fealt completely numb and i threw up.
the nurse said it happens sometimes, but now my heart is doing something weird.
it's beating really hard, or fast, or something.
i thought it was just the penicillin being absorbed, but i'm not sure.
is that normal, or should i be worried?
