A few days ago, out of the blue during dinner, I got a massive stomach ache that went away after an hour or so, but since then I've had minor discomfort in my stomach and nausea nonstop.

It's not bad enough for me to call in sick (though I kind of wish it was, I need a break :p ), but it's really confusing me. My diet hasn't changed at all, and neither have any other of my habits.

I considered that it could be from something I ate, like minor food poisoning, but I would have expected to have stronger symptoms.

I also considered I might be pregnant, but... I have the IUD and had an extremely "healthy" period about 2-3 weeks ago.

Any ideas?? :confused: ]]> General Mes_T http://www.womens-health.com/boards/general/19959-so-nausea-stomach-aches.html http://www.womens-health.com/boards/general/19953-something-different-depression.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:59:23 GMT Hi. Well the past couple years I have felt that in some aspects I am not myself. I take pride in a job well done but it seems that recently I have a serious lack of motivation and have become a poor student. This seems to be even more relevant now that i am in a masters program and I feel like I just can't seem to keep up to my previous pace. I have a really hard time concentrating and I feel easily frustrated. I am exhausted all the time with plenty of head aches which have increased in intensity to the point where I feel like throwing up at times. I had my first baby six months ago and as far as family life goes I am having an absolute blast. Any thoughts? It feels like it has been an issue before my son was born but perhaps has gotten worse since then. I even feel to the point where I need to be checked for a learning disability or something because I am so frustrated.
Thanks for reading. ]]> General smitterg http://www.womens-health.com/boards/general/19953-something-different-depression.html http://www.womens-health.com/boards/general/19875-i-need-serious-help.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:42:32 GMT Please if you know anyone who can tell me what's wrong with me or even help please show them my thread!

On 11/10/09 my tonsils become swollen and white, and the right one would bleed occasionaly. Around 11/12 the left one went down and the right remained the same. (Itn hurts very badly.) The next day, which was Saturday also a day I had a band competition (I've been in band since 4th grade.) my ear closed up. Now it's monday and nothing has changed! My mom wont take me to the doctor cause I didn't go to school because I was crying from a pain that is around my breast area, under the rib cage.(I'll talk about that problem later in another paragraph.) Oh just now I coughed out a gaint white chunk xP but back to my ear. My ear hurts whenever I talk and sometimes even when I swollen. This has never happened to me before, and I wanna go to the doctor so bad.

So since Wensday I have had a pain inside my body everytime I breathe in I feel pain around my breats to my side (all this is on my right side), but it's something inside my rib cage. Then it spread (spread not moved) to the back of where it was so it feels like sothing is horisontally inside me. Then a couple days later it spread to about 3/4 down my rib cage. The worst was this morning I woke up around 4:40am screaming in pain, it had spread up to my shoulder and then to my neck and it felt like the core of it (by my breast) was piercing my chest like it was gonna come out of my chest. I'm still in alout of pain right now.

PLEASE DON'T READ IF YOUR GROSSED OUT EASILY (Has to do with restroom problems)
So I think it was Tuesday or Monday of last week. & I was at school and I got a horrible stomache ache, so when I got to class I asked if I had go to the bathroom. (I thought I had to throw up) When I got to the bathroom I sat down and, I made the loudest most disgusting wet (literally wet) fart I had ever heard. ( There was also an other girl in the bathroom and I felt horrible) The yellow liquid just poored out of my butt. There were no chunks at all in this poop. Then came another blast from my . (Both of these monsterious farts sparied my poop all over the toilet.) When I was down it was all over my butt cheeks and it took about 6 hand fulls of toilet paper to clean myslef. When I got up I noticed the whole toliet looked liked it had gotten spray painted, and the toilet seat even had some on it. The next day in first period, I felt it come out, I rushed to bathroom to see a little but of yellow liquid on my panties. The next day it was solid. Last night was the most horrible thing ever. Me and my boyfriend were sitting on my bed playing on our computers. With NO warning at all I felt the liquid coming out of me, I tired to stop it and I coundn't I ran to the bathroom and by the time I got there my panties were DRENCHED. It had gotten everywhere. All over my theighs, my hands (when I was trying to wipe), all over the toilet and toilet seat, and Im scared that it might have also gotten into my virgina. This morning I have gone twice so far first time it was liquid then I sat there for a minute and a mushy solid came out. Then I went agian in about 10 minutes and it was more liquid.

So ever since wensday I haven't been hungry (I noticed this yesturday). Yesturday me, boyfriend, dad, and little brother went to the movies. That whole day all I craved was water, I had a little bit of popcorn (at the movies) and nothing else that whole day. This morning I forced myself to eat a hamburger and after eating it I got a horrible pain in my stomache and began to cry and it was a HEAVY cry.

I have also been FREEZING yesturday my boyfriend told me it was super hot and I had to wear like 3 jackets so that I wouldn't shiver so hard it hurt.

On a side note I have been forgetting things and seeing things. But it's not as serious as it sounds cause it's not that bad. Like when I glance at something it looks like something else. (When I was marching a field show I could've of sworn I saw someone fall but no did, I turned on my water and as i looked away it looked like a black thing fell with the water but when I looked back nothing was there.) ]]> General molant1 http://www.womens-health.com/boards/general/19875-i-need-serious-help.html http://www.womens-health.com/boards/general/19798-trouble-eating-appetite.html Sat, 14 Nov 2009 00:00:03 GMT Well this is abit of a long story so please bare with me!

About a month ago I had a stomach virus that had me sick to my stomach for about a week, then the very week after that I went through a VERY stressful time in my life. So those two weeks I didnt eat very much or very well.

Now the past two weeks Ive been recovering from being taken off Synthroid. Now everyone who tells me this freaks out and says to immediately go back!

But my family doctor misdiagnosed me with hypothyroidism and I was on Synthroid for 9 months before going to a specialist cause the medicine wasnt working.

The thyroid specialist said i had TO many symptoms for hypo and none of the dominant ones that match hypo. He said it sounded more of a hormone and anxiety problem.

So he took me off synthroid and its been two weeks without the medication now (actually its closer to three, phew scary)

So monday it'll be three weeks that i havent been eatin good at all.

So we called my pharmacist (since doctors never answer your questiions over the phone..) and the pharmacist said the nausea and tired is caused by being taken off synthroid and it'll take another week or so for it to fade completely.

So i still have maybe a week or less to go but im rapidly loosing weight and close to the unhealthy. I was 126 and in three weeks im down to 116 and im 5'7. I have very high metabolism


Well i think my thyroid starting to kick in again cause my late period finally started and Im not as tired all day. But the nausea is still here and its extremely hard to eat. Half of it is no appetite and the other half is fear of when i eat im going to get nauseas again, cause thats how its been for a month.


I dont wanna be malnutritioned which i might already be and I definately dont want to starve myself. Im also having IBS problems and have an IBS infection which causes nausea but thats clearing out now. So I have a few questions

First any advice for all this?


How can i calm myself and reassure myself im not going to be sick of i eat?

How much do i have to eat at the least to be safe weight and health wise a day till i can build my appetite back up?

Any tips on building my appetite back up?


Any foods or vitamins good for this?

And is there anyone who had to go through this Synthroid thing as well?

Why isnt my stomach growling or have an appetite if its been so long since i ate good you'd think it'd be begging for food!

Sorry for all this and I am new so hi everyone! But i dont wanna go to the doctors right away for one my parents are really low on money right now for even co-pay and Im not really sure theyd be able to do anything. ]]> General Shelby Mustang http://www.womens-health.com/boards/general/19798-trouble-eating-appetite.html http://www.womens-health.com/boards/general/19796-burning-sensation-back-my-head.html Fri, 13 Nov 2009 22:25:39 GMT I've probably posted something like this before, I can't remember.

I was just trying to take a nap earlier, when it felt like someone was pressing a hot poker against the back of my head, just one or two inches above my ear. It was only in that area, about the size of a U.S. quarter, and it scared me out of my wits. I still have the burning sensation, but it is not as bad now. It got to the point where I was scratching at it very hard, trying to get it to stop, thinking it was some sort of scalp irritation.

It may be because of posture, because my posture at the computer is horrendous and I tend to sleep on two pillows, with my shoulders all bunched up. But I am afraid of aneurysms. It also could be stress; I had a long day at my workplace, and I have a paper, a quiz, and a group project all possibly due within this upcoming week and no time to do them.

Stupid me, instead of going to mayo clinic or webmd to check, I went to a forum not unlike this one, and saw that someone had a similar pain before they were diagnosed with an aneurysm. So now I'm freaking out. The "A" word is like a trigger for me. I hate it.

Has anyone gotten this sensation before? It's not an aneurysm is it? What did it turn out to be?:( ]]> General CrystalChord http://www.womens-health.com/boards/general/19796-burning-sensation-back-my-head.html http://www.womens-health.com/boards/general/19783-20-year-old-needs-advice-please.html Fri, 13 Nov 2009 15:35:17 GMT ok my mom is concerned for my health becouse i am so overweight its causing problems between me and her she wants me to have surgery i would rather go on a diet and try that first but she does not want me to do to my past behavior durning these past diets i broke my ankle months ago and i was out comission i was in the hostpital and had to have surgery on my ankle from falling and breaking after being the hospital atempting to recover from the break i couldent put any weight on the foot due to the ankle so it could heal then then the docters decided to let have a hospital bed in my home i was off my feet for awhile and my mom was giving me dinners in my room while i was off my feet since i was off my feet i shed a great deal of pounds off me i was starting to look great! i could see the weight coming off in photos of myself i was doing amazing! as soon as my ankle was healed and i was able walk again and of course get to the fridge and cupboards i was staring to eat like i used to before i broke my ankle little by little i started gaining the weight back now i,m back to the size i was i,m just blown right up again i love my mom very much and she loves but this hurting are relashionship as mother and daughter she wants me to get my own appartment and move out becouse of this its very stressful for her to handle my weight problems and she also worried for my life and future health i need advice now before i have lose my home and my family i dont the surgery becouse i,m soo afriad something will go wrong and i,ll die from it or die durning the surgery do a complacation of any kind i know that i can die from my weight also i,m worried for both of those things could happen to me i know its rare for surgery complacations or death but i,m still afraid for my life any advice anyone? i could sure use it!

But today I was eating some pickled cabbage and ...*CRUNNCH*. I felt something very hard and non-vegetable crunch between my teeth. Swallowing the cabbage, while keeping whatever was in my mouth from going down, I carefully pulled out all the foreign bodies I could feel.

In my hand was a shard of glass. It was (from what I can recall) very small, about 2-3mm long, but sharp. There were two other tiny fragments, that were either 1mm or less in length (around the size of a larger grain of sand). I immediately notified my boss, and she told me that the only thing she could think of is that a girl (who I think is a negligent worker anyway) broke a microwave plate earlier that day, and that it must have gotten into the food. She promptly got rid of the pickled veggies.

I feel like whatever I swallowed may have scratched my throat a little bit, but it's only itchy. There is no blood in my stool, and I do not have a bloody taste in my mouth, nor am I coughing up blood. I am still worried however.

Will I be all right? How much glass would one have to ingest to really cause damage? It's not going to slice through something and get into my blood and travel into my heart right? ]]> General CrystalChord http://www.womens-health.com/boards/general/19713-might-have-swallowed-glass-help.html http://www.womens-health.com/boards/general/19658-true-its-better-not-wear-panties-night.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 06:56:43 GMT I know from all my questions posts I probably seem ignorant! ha ha.

I've heard that it's better not to wear panties at night time while you're sleeping because it gives genital a chance to "breathe". Is this true?

I have a question, I have had a yeast infection for about two months now. I've been to the doctor and I've gotten a few medications, but nothing has worked so far and its very frustarating. :( I was wondering if my acne medication could be the cause of it not working. I'm using Differin cream (it has antibiotics in it, but its NOT a oral medication, it's just a cream I rub on my face).

Now this has been going on for about 2 years. Yes, 2 whole years. I've seen my gyno, and I've seen a skin a specialist and both are convinced that it's just an allergic reaction. Now, I have used the same detergent, shampoo, body wash etc.,etc ever since before I've started having this problem. I have changed to different things (doctors orders) and no results. It didn't get better or worse. It's the worst when I'm sweating, usually after I'm done running or after sex and I have to take a bath instantly or it will drive me nuts. It's embarrassing because it's gotten to a point where I end up scratching myself in front of my man.

I've tried numerous things: different detergent, different underwear, not shaving for months (my man did not like that; lol), and powders. The only thing that seems to make it feel any better is baby powder but it only temporary and sitting with my legs crossed isn't an option for me anymore. It's really starting to ruin my personal life.

It's gotten so bad to where I've woke up in the middle of the night itching so bad that I have run to the bathroom and sit on the floor just scratching myself until I bleed. There small scars from the all the scratching that I've done. I want it to end and I want it to end now before I lose my mind.:confused: ]]> General thealmightyval http://www.womens-health.com/boards/general/19453-why-do-my-vagina-lips-itch.html http://www.womens-health.com/boards/general/19431-hyperthyroidism-leukorrhea.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:19:59 GMT This is about my girlfriend. She is not taking care of her health and I'm the one who has to worry about that. Not even her parents. Believe me, I'm not paranoid. I don't know what's wrong with her.

Someone asked me how old am I. I'm 24.

She is losing hair, weight and going thin continuously and she has the symptoms of Leukorrhea as well. If you check her neck, you can clearly see the Adam's Apple, quite large for a girl. She still haven't got a blood test to check for hyperthyroxinemia, but she has the symptoms.

I'm wondering if there is any relationship between Hyperthyroidism and Leukorrhea.

We are afraid to egt treatments for Hyperthyroidism because there is a possibility to get Hypothyroidism after the Alopathic Radio Active Iodine treatment. Therefor we have thought about Naturopathic remedies.

For Leukorrhea, a Doctor prescribed Lukol, a Naturopathic medicine. But it is difficult to find it here. ]]> General Vasana http://www.womens-health.com/boards/general/19431-hyperthyroidism-leukorrhea.html http://www.womens-health.com/boards/general/19430-why-does-my-boob-hurt.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:04:37 GMT Basically, every so often my right boob gets a sharp pain.
