I'm sick.
Posted Wednesday October 11 2006, 4:58 pm
First off, I'm very sick. I've had stomach problems for 7 months. Today, I almost passed out many times. I went to the doctor and it turns out that my hemoglobin levels are down from 14 to 12.3. But my question.. When I got my finger pricked at the doctor, I bled everywhere and it was hard to stop it. Now, my finger is black where it was pricked and it hurts really bad. It's weird. Could it have something to do with my hemoglobin level being down, or should I be worried about that too?

Posted Wednesday October 11 2006, 4:33 pm
When I started playing field hockey, I had to take our my earrings. So for field hockey season (about 2 months) I probably only wore earring for about a totaly of 4 days.
Now, it's over, and I've started wearing earrings again. I JUST took them out, and my ears hurt so much! They are red, and I KNOW that they are infected badly!
Does anybody know any thing I can do to make this better? I need all the advice I can get!! (Home remedies would be so nice :)
THANKS!!

ok this is very embarrassing but my class has just is starting another health unit. Last we we learned the same thing and had a test and I, of course, failed miserabaly and STILL do not know where the vagina is! I was going to ask the teacher but I felt embarrased. There could be any holes! Is it the hole where pee comes out? Is it where they take a S***? or is there a third hole? =S Please answer if you're a girl since I want to know from a person that actually knows since girls have it and not boys.

Is it serious?
Posted Monday October 9 2006, 9:27 am
Um I'm super shy around everyone and everything. My face just automatically turns red and my voice gets shakey when I read outloud or even when attention focusses on me for one minute when I answer a question in class. And when I talk to anyone(girl or boy or even teacher) for more than 2 minutes my face gets red and my voice gets shakey. If I stay in front of the class for a long period then I feel like fainting (I was so close one time too..). This is like something serious it isn't like one of those things when people say your just shy because this is like EXTREME!
Is this some medical condition I should be worrying about?

OH MY GOD WHAT IS THIS!
Posted Sunday October 8 2006, 11:48 pm
I'm not sure but I think I have TSS but I'm not sure what TSS really means. I am SUPER shy and if I talk to anyone or read outloud in class my face instinctly(as if it's a reaction or something)goes red and if I talk more than 2 minutes than my voice begins cracking and shaky. Sometimes when all eyes are on me I shake and feel like I'm about to faint and sometimes has to hold on something b4 I fall down from fear. This is not like as if I'm tlaking to a crush or something it happens when I'm talking to ANYONE and since TSS stands for toxis shock syndrum I think this might be is but is it?

Vulva infection
Posted Sunday October 8 2006, 10:43 am
Hi, I'm 14 years old and I am a girl.
For two days now, my vulva has become very red and VERY swollen. I don't know what to do or what it is.
I've been using cleaning wipes whenever I go to the bathroom and fungal cream. But it doesn't seem to be helping and I have school on tuesday and I can't be this uncomfortable.
Any help is appreciated on what I should do or how to determine what it is exactly. Thankyou in advance.

i'm really scared.
Posted Wednesday October 4 2006, 6:46 pm
Okay, to make a long story short I got bit by an ant, it swelled up, I'm allergic to them, I went to the doctor, and they gave me an antibiotic. There are red lines on my skin sticking out from the area of the bite. The doctors said that they can get in my blood stream and go to my heart. I have to go back if it's worse tomorrow and they have to give me a shot. I'm freaked out now. What happens if it gets to my heart?

What's going on?
Posted Monday October 2 2006, 8:53 pm
I've had a terrible head ache since Friday and it's been off and on. I was looking in the mirror and my pupil was slightly bigger than the other one. (My left one was larger. My right one was smaller.) No matter where I am, I'm either shaking from being cold or sweating from being hot. Does anyone have an idea what this is?

Should i be worried?
Posted Wednesday September 27 2006, 4:43 pm
I have a sore breast, it started about six months ago and i have already been to the doctors about it.
They reffered me to a clinic who said there wasn't a lump and refused to give me a mammogram, the doctors said it was just due to my age.
She also said it should go away by itself in a couple of months, that was 3 months ago.
Should i be worried, should i go back to the doctors or am i just being paranoid? There is a history of cancer in my family but not breast cancer.
I just need some reassurance that its okay!

Sore Mouth & Alcohol
Posted Saturday September 23 2006, 3:51 pm
Last night I drank a half a 2'6 of raspberry vodka. This morning the back / roof of my mouth feels very raw and sore.
Could the drinking and pain be related?
Is there any way I can make it feel better?
I have tried eating icecream because it is cold but it did not work.
Thanks so much for your help :)
