 | 08:44 pm - Day 2 on Fruta Planta
So yesterday I started taking fruta planta and so far have really liked it. I lost 1.5 lbs yesterday alone and still ate a burger and a few other things. But I really makes your desire for food go away like I still feel hungry but nothing sounds good, its odd. Side effects haven't been too bad at all. I get cotton mouth a little and definetly feel bitchy&more short tempered& sometimes I just feel distant&odd. Other than that i'm really liking it. I also took super slim pomgranate during the craze but had way too severe side effects so I was really happy when this didn't do it to me.

 | 09:18 am - But Butt
This is an embarrasing question..my butt is really itchy, red, dry skin for the past few weeks. I've googled it and looked in the memories in this community. Came up with nothing other than Google telling me to use Hydrocortizone ointment, of which I've bought two different kinds over the counter and they have helped none. I've tried soaking in Epsom salt, but after thinking I realized salt drys you out! I use wipes when I go to the bathroom. I wear cotton underwear all the time time! I'm driving myself crazy by itching!! Please help.

I'm trying to deal with a few very bad zits right now and I wanted to know if anyone could recommend anything to zap them away that I could get at somewhere like Target. I have combination skin and the two zits that I'm trying to battle are on my chin and forehead. Thanks!

Turning to photography as a creative outlet during a valiant fight with breast cancer at age 34, renaissance10 survived and set up a photo contest to help raise funds for the Lavender Trust, a nonprofit that provides information and support to younger women with breast cancer. In the first two years, the competition brought in over £65,000 (that's $107,260.73 U.S.!), with entries from 130 countries last year. Renaissance10 recently joined LiveJournal to meet other passionate photographers and find supportive friends.

 | 10:32 pm - Changing the start date of a pack of pills
I've been on Microgestin Fe 1.5/30 for about ten months and I start each new pack on Tuesday which means I finish the 21 pills on a Monday and get my period the Friday of that week. However, in hindsight, it was kind of stupid to start each pack on Tuesday because having my period on the weekends is a pain and a bit of a downer sometimes. So I'm wondering if it's ok to cut short my one week of sugar pills this week and start the new pack of pills on Thursday so that my period now starts on Sundays instead of Fridays. I want to make this a permanent change and am wondering if it's ok to go about it this way. I'll give my doctor a call later but I'm living abroad and there's a rather annoying 10 hour time difference so I thought I'd ask here as well! Thanks!

 | 02:16 pm - [x-post] Veggie soup, veggie broth
I have a question.
I cook veggie soup (vegetable s in veggie broth), but sometimes I don't have the time to stop and make the soup (or the money to run to the store and stock up on more vegetables)... so sometimes I just have hot veggie broth as my meal.
Am I still getting good nutrition from the broth?
(I know "not as greatly as if you ate the vegetables") but it's better than replacing my veggie soup with junkfood.
So, in your opinion is drinking the veggie broth as a replacement ok?

Ok i know this sounds stupid but I am kinda at a loss.
I had a really ....terrible upbringing. I didnt grow up with mom, my dad raised us because my mom was busy being a drug addict. I am not looking for sympathy. I love my dad, and I had as much as he could give, given the person he is and that his mom was a complete alcoholic abusive bitch (no he never abused us or was a addict).
..That being said, I grew up with a fear of being responsible for anyone other than myself.
My best friend brought over her 2 year old on Christmas eve to pick something up and clear as day he asked where his uncle Aaron was and said that he "loved antie leesh"....
I have been so afraid of having kids. I want them then I dont. I am so afraid of screwing them up. But that...that was like the straw that broke th camels back. All of a sudden I wanted a baby. I wanted a child to hold me, to wake me up at 3 am when I have to be up at 6 and teeth.
...I dont know what to do.
When did you know you wanted kids? Do you think there are people who shouldnt have kids? When do you think people should have them?
I know most people are "afraid" but when do you think is an "ok" level of fear and uncertainty, vs a "no shouldnt have kinds" fear?

 | 05:30 am - making the switch from meat to ... no meat
I'm determined to switch from a highly omnivorous diet to a vegetarian one. I've done it before with pure will power, by cutting out red meats, then white, then fish, and was a vegetarian for two years, but then I got married to a carnivore and meat somehow became a staple in my meals, again. My will power, this time around, isn't so strong, so....
My question is - have any of you successfully converted from a carnivorous/omnivorous diet to a vegetarian/vegan one?
If so, any tips or advice to share?
Thanks!

 | 10:32 am - help
Last month when I was on the Pill I missed a lot of the pills and it took a few days for my period to start after I took the last one (it usually starts right away) and that was 3 weeks ago. Every day this week I've been passing blood clots and the flow the entire time has been like a normal period, not just light or spotting. I've had mild back pain and some moderate cramping the entire time. I went to Planned Parenthood where I usually get my care and the woman at the desk rudely told me that it was just because I missed pills last month and brushed off the fact I had a backache and told me it wasn't related. She gave me an appointment later that afternoon but I didn't go because of how nasty she was.
Should I see a doctor asap? I'm starting to feel really lousy, like all the blood's been drained from me (I used to be anemic, so I'm assuming that's the issue again).

 | 10:19 am - fruta planta
I have been on fruta planta for over a week now.. had to stop due to "flu like virus" for three days, and am now back on it. I was throwing up, so i was nervous it was due to the pill, but i've been back on for 2 days now and have been fine. I am in recovery for an ED, therefore do not weigh myself. I have however noticed a difference in my clothes. it has suppressed my appetite as well.
Side effects i've had:
Lightheaded/migraine (i suffer from migraines)
Mood irritabilty (angry and short tempered)
Constipation (i have bad IBS which makes it worse)
Insomnia (thank god finals are over)
I have had all of these side effects with many other diet pills ive tried as well, but so far, it seems to be working and i can tolerate these side effects.
Will post after another week or so to update.
Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday! Enjoy and stay safe <3
PS- has anyone drank alcohol while being on this? just concerned about interactions

Are there any diet pills that sell in stores that work decently? I know this is a stupid question because I doubt there are, but I want to get something to hold me over until I can order Stimerex when I come back from vacation. I was thinking Zantrex but I have no idea because I always buy mine online, so I have no idea how anything works. I had my baby October 28th and I want to get rid of this yucky pooch and ick thighs that I got while being pregnant. I'm going bonkers!
Thanks in advance! :]
and just because!

 | 06:39 am - Hypoglycemia?
I went to the doctor awhile back for some blood work. I'd been having a lot of vague and extremely annoying symptoms, but when I actually went to the doctor, I'd been feeling fine for a few days. They did a finger prick test to check my blood sugar, which was between 70-80. They did a CBC and every result was completely, perfectly normal (blood sugar was somewhere between 70-80).
Is it possible to have normal results and still suffer from hypoglycemia often enough to mess with your life? When I had the tests done, I was feeling fine. Would that matter? Is it at all possible this is still the issue? Mostly just asking because this seems to be the only obvious thing that fits, and if this absolutely isn't the problem, I don't even know where to go from here.
(The symptoms bothering me were mostly extremely low energy, nausea, dizziness, lightheadedness, disorientation, feeling like crying, extremely low energy, extremely excessive sleeping, total inability to concentrate most of the time, body temperature was completely ridiculous--would go from freezing to sweating I was so hot even though the temperature in the room never changed, and muscle twitches. These would last almost without any interruption for weeks at a time, and it's started to become a slight problem again.)

 | 06:36 am - Constant pee feeling
Hello ladies,
This morning after I got out of the shower I felt the feeling to pee so I went, but nothing came out. I'd already gone once as soon as I woke up. It's been an hour and that constant feeling of needing to go pee is still there. I've gone to the bathroom several time but there's either barely a few drop or nothing at all.
I'm just wondering if I should wait it out for a few days or go see my doctor right away?
I know this could be a sign of UTI as I've read about it before.
Though, I've never had a UTI before, no kind of infections ever, nor any STDs.
I recently (about 3 weeks ago) became sexually active again (after almost 2 years!). We both got checked and we're both clean, we use the condom and I've been taking the pill for the past 5 years (alesse).
I've never had this problem before so it's really bugging me.
Thanks a lot!

So I was browsing through the community tags, and decided to read the one post tagged with "Topamax".
I'm on Topamax 100mg 2x/day.
The person commented on how it helped them binge less. I to have noticed that I binge less since I've been on Topamax.
I never thought of Topamax even being helpful in preventing binge eating.
Thought I should bring this up for anybody who may have serious bingeing issues.

Question...
I was qoing through my email and this email adress " hosdfggrr1@fastsecurit41.com" invited me to this canadien pharmacy website. No scripts required, Do you guys think it's legit?
It's a bit expensive and not alot of stuff but I'm just curious.
