  • Taking a break from birth control???

    Ive been on birth control for 7 years and ive always had problems with side effects from it. I have tried 4 different pills (Yasmin, Alesse, Marvelon, and Ortho tricyclen lo) all of them have caused side effects which include cramping, swollen and tender breasts, fatigue, random dizziness, Mood changes and depression, heart palpitations and no libido. I am now sick of feeling sick all the time so im thinking of taking a break. Now i do plan on having children in the next couple of years but not right now so im planning on just using condoms. I am wondering if its a good idea in my case to take a break for a couple of months? Do you thing it would be beneficial to me and is it a smart idea considering im not trying to get pregnant right now? Also what are your experiences after quitting the pill i,e side effects etc.

  • severe toothache?

    Okay so ill start with a little history. Basically ive had problems with this tooth before. About a year ago i was having severe pain between two teeth. One tooth had a cavity(i assume this was the one causimg the pain)and the one beside it had a filling. The pain got so bad that my ear, jaw, and throat were all hurting and my lymph node on that side was swollen. I went to the dentist who did xrays of the tooth and claimed there was nothing wrong with it. He said that i had an impacted wisdom tooth on that side and that was what was causing the pain not the tooth i suspected. He gave me antibiotics for 3 days (which tool away all the pain completly) then extracted the wisdom tooth. Now about two weeks ago i was having this sharp pain between the two teeth again and the cavity had gotten worse and made a hole in the tooth. I went back to the same dentist and he said the tpoth needed to be filled so he filled it. Right after the novicane wore off i notoced that the tooth was still hurting very badly.i decided to just wait a few days to see if it got better but the pain just got worse and my ear and throat began hurting badlt on that side aswell. I went back to the dentist who said the filling was a bit high so he just filed it down abit. Now its been a week since he filed the filled but now i am in MAJOR pain. My ear is so painful it feels like its blocked and now my entire thorat is hirting on both sides. What shoould i do?? I cant afford a root canal.

  • rabbit snuffles?

    So my dwarf rabbit was diagnosed with patuerellosis almost 2 years ago. When i brought her in she was sneezing and had green nasal discharge(and matted paws). The vet gave me baytril to treat it and the symptoms went away. I know she will have this disease her entire life. Since then she gets the green nasal discharge every now and again. Other than that shes perfectly happy,eats welll' does not appear to br in pain or bothered by it at all. Im jist wondering if i should be taking her to th vet to get the antibiotics everytime she gets the discharge. It happens every few months but i dont want her to be constantly taking antibiotics as i know its not good for her. So should i be getting medicine for the discharge evry time even though she doesnt appear to be bothered by it?

  • Do female cats bleed when in heat?

    So i have asked this question once before and i am still conflicted. My female cat is 7 years old. Whenever she goes into heat she displays all the normal heat symptoms such as treading, overly affectionate, loud vocalizing. However she also has a brown bloody vaginal discharge. I have asked about this on y/a before and most people seem to think that female cats do not bleed while in estrus and bleeding indicates the cat has pyometra. I then took her to the vet and the vet said that cats do bleed while in heat and its not the same as when a cat has pyometra becuase with pyo the blood would be mixed with pus and the cat would be showing other pyo symptoms. Now im always worried when the cat goes into heat and i see blood. So do cats bleed when in heat or not?

  • late period on birth control?

    In october i was on various courses of antibiotics. It started out with me taking a course because of a tooth infection. I then got my wisdom tooth out so was put on anothe dose of antibiotics. Thoses however were not strong enough and i got another infection and was put on very strong antibiotics to cure it. So for the month of october i was on 3 different antibiotics. I am on the birth control pill marvelon and am on my 4th placebo pill and still have not started my period. I usually start on the 3rd placebo pill. I have had horrible pms this month(headaches, sore breasts, cramping, bloating, fatigue). I still have cramping bu no blood.
