Hey katelin.. I don know wy but I had stomach problems when I went to a summer camp. it was awful, I had bad stomach aches every day. I don't know if its the food. my parents were worried. I went to a trip to canada and the first day, I was so awful. it felt like I wanted to throw up. I think I got a virus.I gett that quite often. anyway, see you
Hi Priscy, You were maybe nervous about being away from home, I know I get stomaches sometimes if I'm away from home, or else I dont' have much of an appetite. Caitlin
prissy, what part of Canada did ya visit? Like cate, I get very nervous when I am doing anything different.
wow Caitlin, how did you score more stomach's? Lol Lol
Not really because I went to that same summer camp last year and nothing happened even thow I was nervous, but this year, I had stomachaches every day with wanting to go to the bathroom often. ever since I ate fried fish one sunday because I wanted to try it. this sick feeling lasted for weeks. it started after my mom left me at the university. then, I started school, that virus came up again, and my parents were worried even mor. they said that next year they might take me to a doctor. i think. again it lasted for at least the first month because I had aches every morning after I ate something.I wasn't nervous at all, I was very calm. anyway, I visited atawa, quebec, and toronto.
umm period??? cramps?? PMS???
well,who are you? how old are you? you should make a profile anyway?m well that is so irregular? every 2 3 months i get it? you know what I mean.
I meant my friend is so irregular. this is only for the cool girls. just kidding, bla bla bla bla bla. it came today in 26 days late.
For anyone who is irregular...They should talk to their doctor about it. I'm irregular, and I found out it signifies a problem for me. Anyways, if you don't have one regularly; you are more likely for uteran cancer; at least according to what I've been told, and there is medicine that can help streighten you out.
Yeah. Hehehe lol RdFreak lol ... and erm well yeah, I mostly get stomachaches if I'm nervous or if I've eaten something that doesn't agree that is it. Hehe.
Caitlin
I get my perod every 2 months somtimes ya. other, I get it unexpectedly. now it has been almost 2 months since november 4.
see yo
do guys get stomach aches as well?
yeah everyone does
Ok, what I've heard...
if your period is not reguar
Dammit, sorry.
What i've heard was that, for like the first two years of your period it can be unregular, but after that, get it checked.
I had my perod since 13 and I used to get it every 35 days mor or less. but then since last year, Iget it evry 2 three months and somtimes varies. they last about 4 days that's it. I don know. Does being 86 pounds make difference if yr 4'11 and almost 18?
I've read that the amount of body fat, exercise and diet can all affect your period. If your really skinny and very active you'll skip more often than someone who's not as active or has more bodyfat.
um, im skinny due to the fact tht I weigh 86 pounds mor or less, and i'm 4'11. is that still realy skinny do ya think? I'm active but not as much, i mean, on the average because I due not exercise like crazy. so, i used to be pretty regular, but I now as I say, I get it e 2 months, somtimes 50 days, like now, I last had it on november second, and I got it again on november 28 calculate and you'll see?
Well I don't know much about this but I would say get it checked, because getting it that irregularly is kind of dangerous I've heard. And also since you're 18 it's not like you're a beginner, because for beginners, it's gonna be irregular. So I would go to the docrot, and probably most of it does have to do with being skinny yeah.
Caitlin
I agree with Caitlin. If it's something your worried about you should ask your doctor.
and just for the record, the contraception pill allows me to have total cramp free periods. I was put on it for hormones only, and it not only got rid of my zits (due to hormonal issues), and regulated my periods but also means I get no cramps at all like I would if I wasn't taking the pill.
Why were you on b control? only for hormones. how can being skinny affect it? anyway, thank god I have no zits! I only have really dry little dots as if I have dry skin on my face.
Birht control can be taken to eleviate cramps, I only know because I have relatives who take it because of cramps. So it's not just go prevent birth. And being skinny can effect it because body fat can regulate your periods, I think, I dunno, wel earned somethign about it in Health. So I would talk to your doc.
Caitlin
I mean, talk to him, if it'ws worrying you, or if your periods are irregular, etc.
Caitlin
And cool about not having zits hehehee jkjk.
Caitlin
Sorry i kept posting guys, but I kept forgettign to say things. I'm so dumb lol! Anyway. Take care, cheers, happy new years, and all that.
Caitlin
Does a common cold affect your stomach?
Being able to take birth control is great for those who can. I can't use any of it... Birth control can be used to alieve cramps, regulate your period and prevent births. There may be more, but I haven't heard of it.
hey girls, you should think twice about taking the birth control pill just for cramps. That is the whole reason i'm blind. I guess the hormones in the pill didn't react well with my body! It caused a blood clot in my brain. I think I would rather dealt with the cramps! lol! smile, angel!
.
yeah, does the common cold affect the stomach? because I had the flu and my stomach was really upset the next day. is that a virus or what? is that part of the flu?
Priscilla Garces
yeah .. I don't have any any more thanks to the wondress pill! and Caitlin, thanks for clarifying darl! .. Lol no chance of kids unless they are born under a cabbage patch! Lol
Lol rotfl RdFreak, jsut wanted to make it clear hehehe. And Angel, is that really true? I had no idea that birth control could be that dangerous... and Priscy yeah the flu and colds can definitely effect yoru stomach. You mightl ose your appetite and then your stomach will kind of get upset and sensitive. It happens all the time. Lol.
Caitlin
yeah, caitlin, that is true! I had a major blood clot on my brain, and they said it was from the birth control. It cut off the oxygen to my optic nerve leaving me blind. I also had a stroke from it, luckily i have no permanant effects other than the blindness! needless to say no pill for me! lol smile, angel
wow i hadn't read that post of yours Angel til now! woh that's scarey! well thank god my zits are gone, and I guess .. unless ya want kids .. don't .. oh never mind I'll leave that alone. Lol
lol rdfreak! smile, angel
What is hormonal inbalance? what are the symptoms?
A hormonal inballence is where your body doesn't produce the proper amounts of each hormone. The simptons depend on the hormone it is either over or under producing.
What are the symptoms of undrproduction of female hormone. anyway, what causes rashes on the face? what are som symptoms of over production? What do ya think?
I was on BC. I used 2 have totally iregular periods. I finally quit the pill and now sence gotten more iregular periods again. It's a major pain. O yeah, has n e 1 mentioned the scary word?????? Papsmere??? EVIL WORD!! Well every women has to go through it. Priscilla u can IM me if u have n e more ?s i can help you.
To answer your question Priscy zits are just like common. Lol. They're a common teen thing. From like oils and stuff. And
And I dunno about the symptoms of underproduction of a female hormone. To get real answers you might wanna see a doctor because I'm clueless. heheh sorry. Or ask a teacher or counselor or parent.
Caitlin
what does it mean if a person has really dry bumps on the face?
you know, there is a history of uterin cancer because my grandmother who died years ago hd it and it was awful. she also had irregularities too. you know.
I've never had a stomach ache in god knows how long ago. The last one I've ever had was I think monday or tuesday night and that was it. I think I had trouble with gas but after I went to the bathroom, I felt better.
THose bumps on the face sound like just pimples or whtieheads or somethin'.
oh, they are not pimples, theyre tiny bumps. and they are really dry, like goosebumps.
Well I don't know what they are, you could go to a dermatologist and they oculd tell you. Just ask your doctor.
Today, I woke up with pain in the lower part of the stomach. it was so horible that almost made me pass out and throw up. I ate chinese food yesterday, but I don't know what it is. maybe cramps but I don't think they can usually get that painfull and cause you tobe close to fainting. so I don know. that is why I went to call my dad because I couldn't do nothing at all. but im ok.
no idea.
Did you go to the doctor, ouch, that stomachache sounds horrible ... you poor thing! And what did your dad and-or the doc say?
Did it just stop? I'm not an expert, of course, but I had a friend who went through what sounded very similar to what you describe. She had this horrible stabbing pain in her lower stomach for a few hours, and it increasingly got worse. Then suddenly, as we were waiting in the emergency room for her to see a doctor, it just went away. It turns out she had a cyst somewhere on her reproductive system; I can't remember where exactly. Anyway, of course I can't tell whether or not this is what you have, but my point is simply that it needn't necessarily be anything serious. If you suspect your appendix, though (I suppose that would be on the side of your stomach), you should have it checked out.
Priscy, I'm noticing that you seem to have a lot of concerns about your health. Is everything all right?
Ya agree with Suzanen that this could or could not be serious, and that the best thign to do would just to be aware like your'e doing, and to ask a doctor. Seriously, I wish I could be of more help, but i too have noticed the many concerns you ahve Priscy. THoguh I'm always here to talk I'm not a big help in the medical area you know? Lol.
yeah, sh=chool is closed. yeah. snow and more snow. anyway, im fine. the only thing is that I had somthing like the flu the week after that. but now there is a lot of snow on the ground.
yeah, too much snow.
Lol. I like snow...
I had heart burn today. I don't know what it is cause I was fine. yeah, spring brake for me.
I ate a daunat and milk on sonday and got a really sharp pain in my stomic don't know why. it was extremely sharp. happened when I was with mom in the par walking. what is going on. it happened again/
Maybe you have gall bladder stones.
What are gull bladder stones. does anyone know? what causes them
Gall bladder stones are stones you get in your gall bladder that can cost a lot of pain, and you should probably go to a doctor and make sure you don't have them because my girlfriend's dad had them and she told me they caused a lot of pain till he got them removed, and it could have ultimately had really bad effects if he hadn't had them removed.
Also from what I remember from what my girlfriend told me there caused by drinking to much, there might be more reasons but thats all I remember right now I hope this helps. Tony
my doctor said that I might have some food poisning. so I am always carefull with the kinds of foods I eat. this was lasst year
like for ex. i drank milk that has been left out on the table since very very early in the morning because i was in a hurry to get out the house. Since i didn't wana get to class late. then at lunch time i had upset stomach untill i came home. that was the worst feeling ever I had in class. i just wanted to get out of class and call home. woe.
so now i have a cell
I had really bad stomach cramps once, and it turned out to be appendicitis. had it removed later that night
is ths true, "Uterine cancer is the most silent disease." because no symptoms are involved
Guys, if you're very overweight and have a lot of body fat, that can also make your periods very irregular. I used to be completely in the dark as far as my periods were concerned, never knew where the next one was coming from or when it was going to start, so I just always carried the necessaries with me in my bag. More recently though, we went to my GP and then I was diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). I'm now on two Metformin tablets, (usually prescribed for Diabetics) a day to try and sort it all out, but those tablets also have side effects. At best, I have almost daily stomach upsets, but at the worst, I could feel very sleepy, have shortness of breath, I could pass out or they could even kill me, so I didn't take the decision to take Metformin lightly, believe me, but nothing else was working, I wasn't losing any weight and my periods just weren't happening, so there was nothing else for it. I used to get really bad stomach cramps in place of my missing periods as well, and my hormones went completely to pot. I was depressed and also very emmotional, especially the day before one of these very rare periods started.

Ovarian cancer is the one that is known as the slient killer.
let me try that again. Ovarian cancer is known as the silent killer. damn fingers. lol
It isn't cancer I've got though. I think you can have polycystic ovaries or ovarian cancer and they're two different things. These Ovarian cysts like I have, just make you infertile, they make your hormones go all over the place something rotten. Ovarian cancer on the other hand, is well, cancer, the big C.
Jen.
Yes, Polycystic ovarian syndrome is an interesting disorder. Do you have to take medicines to help with the hormone imbalance?
I didn't know you could take medicines to help with the hormone imbalance. I just went to my GP and she said Metformin was the answer, unless there is something I could take alongside Metformin or just on its own for the hormone imbalance.
i'm no doctore, and I'm not sure if that's correct, but there should be something to help with that.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought hormonal birth control pills (HBCs) are supposed to help with PCOS?
Hmmm! I think they do, but Metformin apparently helps as well.
Jen.
Can I ask something, if anyone doesn't mind me asking? How do blind girls know when they are about to start their periods? I was just asking because I don't any of those stomach pains or anything. The doctor put me on the pill a few years ago, so I can know that they are regular.
For me, my breasts get really sore a week or so before hand, and I usually get mild to medium cramps in my lower back and stomach one to two days before I'm suspected to start. Sometimes, I can be surprised but for the most part I know just with the flux in my mood, IE: being more easily offended, crying a lot, etc etc.
This was a great question–I'm glad people are actually asking instead of feeling like it's too gross or what not.
Hope this helps,
Cortney
Well, up until recently, my hormones just go completely up the shoot, out the window, through the roof Etc Etc. I just hurt like hell emotionally, keep going over things in my mind that should've been and just, didn't come to pass which in turn, either makes me extremely mad or incredibly emmotional, so I either, grin and bear it and try as far as I can to carry on as normal if it's a College day the day before I come on, or basically, tell the whole world and his wife to just, stay away from me, give me some space so I can hide away and have a muchneeded how'ow'ow'ow'ow'ow'ow'ow'ow'owl and let all these bottled-up things out. Until I actually do start a period though, I don't have stomach cramps, sickness or any of that. The hormones just go completely to pot, which is my alarm call to get the necessaries out ready for my monthly tidal wave/explosion, lollollollollollollol. That's partly the reason I decied to go for the medication rather than the diet for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.
Jen.
I get the cramping in my lower abdomine, along with a huge craving for chocolate or anything sweet. lol
i don't get cramps anymore thanks to a medication i had to take for a short time due to explosive throbbing headaches.
since then i have no more cramps
period free for 100 days. walah.
damn it seems like i'm having less and less periods each year, last year i had like 6 periods, but this year, only 2 periods.
the only good thing, i can go to the beach whenever i want if i could or swim without worrying.
i'm now 96 pounds that's the most i've been.
yesterday i had such bad cramps and had to indeed take asprin. aww that was offul. again with this nonsense.
I didn't have cramps but lately when i got my period this month again with the bad stomach cramps. My breasts feel sore a week before which used to not happen to me. but now they sore. and a week before it coes they hurt and become fuller. this really sucks because when i sleep it is uncomfortable.
i didn't have this before. i guess it's just a glitch
