Colds, Field Hockey, and School
Posted Sunday September 17 2006, 8:48 am
I have a cold right now. It isn`t too bad, but my nose runs alot and I cough like crazy.
Tomorow school starts again, (because I was hoping I would be better by then time the weekend was over)
Anyways, I`m not really sure if I should miss school, because it isn`t anything too serious, and I would fall behind in school.
AND >>> I have field hockey every day after school for two hours, and so I don`t know what to do about that.

is it possible to have heart attacks as a kid?
Posted Friday September 15 2006, 12:59 am
When i was in junior high (im a hs senior now) i would get random chest pains on my left side of my chest. I didnt think that it was possible (is it?) to have 'heart attacks' or anything similar when you were around 14 years old so i never really had it checked. I guess im just wondering if it's something like a heart attack or something different? Because i get it randomly, sometimes while im walking around or walking up the stairs or just suddenly sometimes.

weight
Posted Monday September 11 2006, 12:38 am
Hi I'm sorry if this is the wrong section but i didnt know where to put it. Any I need some advice. For a 13 year old girl who is 5'7" what weight is appropriate? I weigh 105.
People say im skinny coz you can see my ribs and those bones above your breasts, but I'm not coz i have huge thighs! Im gonna be on vacation soon, and I wanna look good in a bikini.
I wanna lose weight, but I'm also kind of scared. I've never tried to lose weight before, but I'm vegetarian so i dont have that much fat. Every time I try and eat less, I end up seeing cookies or something and I eat like 5 and then I hate myself and I start to do sit ups and cry. How do I avoid these temptations?

mono
Posted Friday September 8 2006, 4:49 pm
So my friend believes hes going to get mono because he kissed his girlfriend who had a sip of someones drink who had it. I'm a little worried because I took a sip of his water not knowing about the whole ordeal but I know most likly that no one will actually get mono. He says it takes a month to surface and the girl (his gf) only took a sip about little over a week or two ago. Just what are the chances of it happening, do I have anything to be worried about & should I tell my boyfriend? lol thanks.

Warts- contagious?
Posted Wednesday September 6 2006, 11:10 pm
My bf has one wart on his hand, the only wart he's ever had. If I hold his hand and make physical contact with the wart..can I get the virus that causes warts and then start getting it as well? Also, if he fingers me (using either the hand with the wart or the hand without the wart) can I get warts and more specifically, genital warts??
If he gets it freezed off can I still get warts??
I'm so freaked out. How can you possibly date people at this rate.

Runny nose?
Posted Tuesday September 5 2006, 5:32 am
What can I do about a runny nose?
Under my nose, is a bit raw from all the sneezing and wiping my nose. And every time my head is down, my nose gets all runny and ...makes a gross mess.
What can I do for tomorrow in school? We have essays to write and I can't keep my head up.
Is there anything I can do? I'm taking a tissue box of course but anything else?

Anorexia
Posted Sunday September 3 2006, 1:31 pm
At the beginning of summer, I started developing an eating disorder. I didn't know why I wouldn't eat and I didn't understand why it was happening but it scared me and the rest of my family. My mom wanted to take me to the doctor but I kept telling her that I was fine and everything was okay. Not long after, I was volunteering at the hospital and passed out. My mom then decided that she was going to take me to the doc. By the time she took me, things were starting to get better for me and I was eating normal again. The doctor took blood work and told me that the blood work was fine. I've figured out why I haven't been eating. When things get bad for me or something happens that just makes me really upset, I don't eat and it's something I ca...

okay i twisted my ankle a few months ago. i was wondering, what other damages can you do to your ankle?? i can walk/run on it but i use an ace bandage when i run just incase. im getting it checked out soon, but it's weird. when i walk it doesn't hurt, but when i move it in any direction it does. its sore, extremely swollen, and a bit discolored. what could i have done to it that i can still walk on it?? i mean, if it's broken you wouldn't be able to, so what are my other options??
thanks!!
