I'm new to running track. I just got done with my first day of conditioning and I'm really sore. I really want to keep it up though. When you're really sore from working out, is it better to take a day or 2 off until you're not sore anymore, or just keep going and it will eventually go away?

I haven't had my period for about 4 or 5 months. I just went to the gyno Novemeber and she said everything was fine. I am ocasionally itchy down there. I'm not sexually active, so I know I'm not pregnant and no STDs.

Does anyone know how to have a lucid dream? I've been having this re-occuring dream, and I would really love to put an end to it, but I'm not sure how or if there's even a way. This is the dream I have been having: (It's kind of in story form, because I wrote about it for creative writing.)   I fall to the ground. How I got here is unknown to me. I look...

Sometimes, I have this thing where if I inhale deeply or yawn, the right side of my neck hurts. At first, I thought it was maybe just a pulled muscle, but it happens frequently. Sometimes, it goes away within 20 minutes, and sometimes it lasts a couple of hours.   Any ideas what it could be?

I'm pretty sure I have one. I hate missing school. My mom doesn't want to take me to the doctor because we know what it is, but when I get sinus infections, they're extremely painful. When I cough or stand up, my head hurts, and I feel so much pressure in my ears! Not to mention blowing my nose every 5 minutes is definitely not fun. Do you guys know what I can do to...

I've been going 3 weeks straight getting only 3-4 hours of sleep each night. And it's not a good sleep at all. It's always off and on. So far, I've tried: Focusing on relaxing my body. Taking a...

Okay, a lot of you know, I'm Heather & I'm 15 years young. I really only have trouble sleeping like half of the time. It seems like when I'm laying in bed, I can't shut my mind off. Different things just always seem to pop in my mind. And I try to think about nothing, but then I think about thinking about nothing, and it really just doesn't help. Is there anything I can do...

When I was 6, I got my ear's pierced. I carelessly let them grow back shut. Nothing out of the ordinary. But when I was 8, I got them pierced again, and they got all swollen and red. Kind of like a pimple. Since then, I've discovered that I am allergic to fake metal (also known as "nickle.) The bumps never went away, and it feels like there may be fluid in there. Do you...

Okay, so I am only 15. I've never been to the gynecologist, but I have my first appointment towards the end of this year. My mom told me that they check buttholes ocasionally. My sister-in-law said they didn't the first time she went. Will they check my butthole? And if so, what is the point of it?   [I feel really awkward posting this on the internet.]
