Sleeping Problems
Posted Friday May 28 2010, 12:48 am
19/F.
I have had issues with sleeping for as long as I can remember. It can take me hours just to fall asleep at night, and I usually don't fall asleep until 3-4am. I'm in college, and that helps me fall asleep earlier, say around 12am because my roommate sleeps somewhat early. But now that it's the summer, I've gone back to my old habits.
It's not even that I can't sleep at this point, it's just that I don't want to sleep. I'll lay down and psych myself out, thinking about how I know I wont be able to sleep and I'm just wasting time. Then I'll either turn on the TV, get up and do something, or play games on my iPod. It's a mixture between not being sleepy enough to pass out and not wanting to, and it's really ...

Does pooping make you skinnier?
Posted Tuesday May 25 2010, 10:33 pm
I poop a lot but I'm really skinny. I mean, I go poop like 4 times a day on most days. It never has bothered me but I eat really bad stuff like fried foods and lots of sugary sweets. My friend wants to know how I stay so skinny but I don't know why I am so skinny. Does pooping make you skinnier? Because I'm wondering if maybe that is my "trick" to staying slim?

bellybutton..gross sorry
Posted Tuesday May 25 2010, 9:37 am
I"ve had my bellybutton pierced since september, and since then I haven't had any problems with it. But now I have a cut in the middle of the piercing..so its right above my belly button, but under the top ball of the ring. sometimes a clear fluid comes out of the cut, so i'm worried that it is infected, but i don't know if this means that i should take the piercing out or not.

How do I get rid of a sunburn fast?
Posted Monday May 24 2010, 3:17 pm
I was out swimming yesterday and didn't put sunscreen on or whatever and got sunburned really bad. I've never been sunburnt like this before and it hurts and is ugly. I don't want to finish out the school year with nasty red skin. How can I get rid of a sunburn really fast or overnight? Is there anything that can get the "burn" out of the sunburn too because it hurts? :(

Get supplements out of your system.
Posted Sunday May 23 2010, 6:56 pm
I am supposed to take calcium supplements for the meds I am on... But they all make me sick so I usually try and get my calcium through food. About two weeks ago I felt like I really needed more so I took calcium citrate. I took about 1-2 a day for about a week. After the first week I started feeling the symptoms and stopped... Bloating, constipation, nausea etc. It's been about 2 weeks and I still feel the same symptoms. How long and what can I do to get it out of my system and feel normal again!!

My period is 6 days late and I have taken pregnancy test and it came out as "negative". I think that stress is the problem to the delay because I have school, work, and family problems. Should I see a doctor about it or wait it out?

Hello, I am 15 years old, and i have a huge Labia Manora. I beieve this means the outer lips of the vagina. I am so uncomfortable all the time. I have to put toilet paper in my underwear because of all the vaginal discharge that i get daily. i masterbate a lot, does that have to do with it? I am embaressed for anyone to see it. My friends and sisters joke around and call it a "penis." When I was little, I didn't know what it was and I used to stretch it out and play with it. Now, I am uncomfortable and ashamed of my Vagina. I tried so many times to tuck it in and hide it under. I don't want surgery because I am scared of it. Is there any possible way to shrink it? Please, please please please, help me?):

Trouble peeing in a public bathroom
Posted Friday May 7 2010, 9:52 pm
17/F
Hi! I am going on a road trip cross country this summer with my mom. I'm very excited except for one problem I have been dealing with for about 7 years: I can't pee anywhere but my home bathrooms. The last roadtrip I took, I ended up in the hospital 3 nights in a row with 2 temporary catheters and 1 permanent one I had to have for a week (it was extremely painful, especially since I still had to drive 8 more hors home.) I was wondering if anybody had any advice on what I can do to pee in a public bathroom? Is there some medication I can take or some mental trick?? Thanks so much!!

Drinking Alcohol while Breastfeeding
Posted Thursday May 6 2010, 2:58 am
Ok, so I am breastfeeding my baby but I have a question that I don't really want to ask my doctor because I don't want him to think I'm a bad person.
Before I got pregnant I really liked to go out drinking with my friends sometimes. My husband and I actually use to get a little drunk on the weekends and enjoy ourselves and our time off work. I haven't drank since I found out I was pregnant and my baby is over 3 months old now.
Is it safe to drink alcohol while breastfeeding? I looked up foods to avoid while breastfeeding but didn't see anything about avoiding alcohol while nursing.

Sun Tanning
Posted Wednesday May 5 2010, 7:23 pm
I want to go sun bathing so I can get some color on my skin. I'm very white without the sun. Yesterday I got burnt pretty badly when I went out for an hour and a half. I know that that's way too much exposure of UV rays. So from now on, I'm just going to go out for 30-40 minutes. 15-20 minutes on each side. I need advice on how to tan healthy without suffering from a sunburn. Will I tan well with spf45+ or spf30? Or do I need tanning oil? I don't know what to put on my skin. I don't want the sun totally blocked because I want a tan but I'm not really sure how sunblock works when it comes to tanning. How long would you suggest that I spend out in the sun? What procedures should I take in order to be tn with little damage and to be as tan as I could get?

One Ovary
Posted Wednesday May 5 2010, 6:17 pm
My friend recently found out that she was born with only one ovary. She has never had a period and she is 17. She is supposed to see a specialist very ssoon. I have tried serching online for these kind of topics but this condition is very rare. I guess my question is why hasent she gotten her period? She is still flat too. its like she has no hormones that make her grow into a woman. would doctors give her hormone pills? If she went on birth control, would that make her have her periods? Im just kind of worried for her. I know she ill find all this out eventually but im just curious.

I really don't understand ovulation
Posted Wednesday May 5 2010, 3:18 am
I really don't understand ovulation and I was hoping you could explain it to me in a way that I could understand. The timing of it and how you tell of you are ovulating seems more like guesswork than science.
Can you help me?

am i drinking too much?
Posted Wednesday May 5 2010, 12:54 am
i'm 17/f and i think i'm developing a problem. i started drinking alcohol when i was about 14 or 15. sometimes it would just be a small sip of wine or beer, and then when i was 16, i started stealing money from my sisters to buy it from a friend who could legally buy it. now, i just mix vodka or wine with sunny D. its my parents liquor, and usually i only drink a decent amount until i can sleep well or feel good. sometimes i take some to school or to my friends house so we can all get drunk.
but last saturday night, i was drinking a small amount, and kept refilling my glass. and before i knew it, i couldnt remember my name or where i left my phone. i couldnt even walk. i'd been drunk like that before, but not for over a year....
