Resolved Question: Christians questions about dating and stuff?

have this rare disease where I didn't reach puberty until age 23 thanks to a birth control pill I started in June for hormone replacement therapy. Don't produce estrogen without it. I didn't become sexually attracted to men until two months ago. Anyway since I want to save my virginity until marriage and since I understand how powerful lust and sexual arousal is, I don't trust myself. So here are the extremes I'm taking: No french kissing or cuddling if he's my boyfriend until I marry him. Also I won't confide in him as much as I confide in my best friend until I marry him. I also will not drink infront of men. I also won't hug guys unless it's a side hug and that's it. I won't let him rub my back and I won't do it to him either. I also won't ride alone in a car with an attractive guy because I don't trust myself if he'd make a move.(if he's unattractive and he makes a move, I'll stun him with a taser gun if he still persists after I yell NO!). Too extreme? why or why not? Is it too extreme for a Christian? They say that men take everything as a sexual invitation. So I guess excluding hugging, cuddling and kissing with tongue(without tongue is fine) and confiding in him is banned until marriage? Also if you are a Christian, how many dates did you wait before holding hands and then kissing and then cuddling? Thanks! Do you french kiss? do you cuddle? do you confide in your boyfriend before you married him? Then what is allowed and not allowed in a Christian dating relationship? Doesn't french kissing and cuddling lead to an uncontrollable urge to have sex? Could you please not use BOY???? Boy to me means males ages 2-17. I like MEN ages 28-40 please use MEN instead of boys. ew. more

Resolved Question: advice about pain around right ovary?

I'm 60 and on homone replacement therapy that consists of low dose estrogen patches and a vaginal ring. I use porgesteron supositories monthly to induce bleeding and avoid build up in my uterus. For the past 4 or 5 months I have experienced intermittent sharp pain around my right ovary during the time that I am bleeding. The pain comes for approximately 2 hours ususally 2-4 times over a 3 or 4 day period. The first time it happened I went to the emergency room because I thought I might have appendecitis. So far the doctors can't find the cause of the problem. I've had a vaginal ultrasound and the ovary looks fine. I would simply live with this, but when the pain does come it is severe and I can't sleep or if it is during the day, I need to lay down. Any suggestions of other things I should as about? more

Resolved Question: Why does everyont think that steroids will make a guys penis shrink or get smaller? NOT TRUE!

Why does everyone think that a guys penis will shrink if he takes steroids?? SERIOUSLY. When you take steroids, you are replacing your natural testosterone (endogenous) with steroids (exogenous). This causes your natural testosterone to shut down, and to eventually stop producing any. Its a part of HOMEOSTASIS. Your body balances it out. This results in increased estrogen as well since testosterone aromatizes to estrogen. IF you do not take a proper ancillary (arimidex, aromasin) to control your estrogen levels, you will lose some sensitivity to your penis. If you DONT TAKE HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) along with the exogenous test (steroids) then your BALLS will shrink, since that is where you normally and naturally produce testosterone, and now you arent. It does NOT affect the size of your penis!!!! Some people have "limp penis" from being shut down completly. Throw in some test and your good! HRT people - Hormone Replacement Therapy. Look it up! Steroids dont shrink your penis!!!! more

Resolved Question: Premarin drug users - will you still use this product after you've found out the truth?

Every year, doctors prescribe hormone replacement therapy (HRT)—also referred to as menopausal hormone therapy—to hundreds of thousands of women experiencing menopausal symptoms. There are about 100 ranches in remote areas of North Dakota and Canada that house thousands of pregnant mares who produce urine for Premarin and Prempro.(1,2) For most of their 11-month pregnancies, these horses are confined to stalls so small that they cannot turn around or take more than one step in any direction. The animals must wear rubber urine-collection bags at all times, which causes chafing and lesions, and their drinking water is limited so that their urine will yield more concentrated estrogen. The fate of the thousands of foals born on PMU farms each year is equally disturbing. Some are used to replace their exhausted mothers. Some foals end up getting adopted while the rest (considered by-products) are sold and slaughtered at less than a year of age. If you'd like more info - check out a Yahoo! or Google search engine. Look up "cruelty of Premarin" or something along those lines. AND YES! THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES than Premarin. Duke, I'm not lying about the stalls or slaughtering. It's a reality. I've been doing research on this FOR YEARS. Here are a few examples, but you can look it up yourself. http://www.all-creatures.org/aip/nl-27jan2004-premarin.html Truth about Premarin: http://youtube.com/watch?v=xjVuseclfxY AND DUKE, NOT ALL FOALS GET ADOPTED.

I've also gained weight - almost all in my belly, which hate with a passion! I'm very tempted to go back on hormone therapy.

WHY doesn't the FDA crack down on these sham artists who don't take advantage of people? They lie saying that a woman's own estrogen her "natural" estrogen is not carcinogenic, only replacement---that's so FALSE, it's the cumulative amount of estrogen, estriol, estradiol, etc., that's linked with reproductive cancers.

And my doctor mentioned taking testosterone as well as estrogen if I start HRT... does anyone have experience with taking testosterone replacement therapy as a female? Thanks so much. more

Resolved Question: DES and urinary incontinence?

Our 10 year old lab has had urinary incontinence for the last year. She was initially treated with antibiotics and then PPL, which worked until last April. Then she began piddling herself again. She has been on antibiotics which didn't work, then we let her take a break from the meds for awhile and just put a diaper on her. Now she just started on DES (estrogen replacement therapy). The vet put her on 1 mg capsule twice a week for 3 weeks, then once a week thereafter and see how it goes. But as I am reading up on this, I'm finding that typical treatment is a capsule daily for 3-5 days and then whatever will keep the dog dry after that. Am I wrong to question my vet or is this appropriate treatment? BTW, she just took her 2nd capsule and is still having a problem. How long does it take DES to take effect? She just had blood drawn this week. She is fairly solidly built for a 75 lb dog. She doesn't have a pot belly or look thin on top. Looks normal. She isn't spending any more time at the water bowl than normal. more

Resolved Question: Hormone replacement Therapy...but no period???

I'm on 1 mg of oral Estradiol and 100 of oral progesterone, days 17-26. Haven't had a period on this regimen, but have been less bloated than when I've been on other regimens, like BC pills and estrogen patch. Help! more

Resolved Question: Doctor's ONLY please...I am 16yrs remission breast cancer.?

I was stage 3, estrogen sensitive...I did 6 mos chemo (5 different drug...5fu, cytoxin, methotrexate,other 2?) I took tomxifen for 10 mos and stopped...I have NEVER had any hormonal replacement therapy of any kind. In 2003 a doctor put me on insulin (1 YR)& my wt shot up 85#'s. When I discovered this I made every change necessary to get off of the shots which I succeeded in doing and I've been off about 8-10 months..I've lost 25#'s just since Jan. My current A1C is 6.2...I take 10mg glucotrol xl, and for my thyroid I take levilthroxine 250 mcg. My question has to do with a prickly stinging sensation when I have been extra active....If I am going to get more weight off I really need to start working up a little sweat...right now I am only walking because I do have (scale 1-10) 7 level joint pain in my hips, knees, (roller skating acc in 1987). This feeling is quite painful and takes 20 -30 sec to subside. It's feels like needle pains (like falling on a cactus plant). Please help more

Resolved Question: Ovarian cancer and ER/PR testing?

For sufferers of ovarian cancers and physicians/oncologists : Why are not all ovarian tumors tested for presence of the estrogen and progesterone receptors (ER and PR) ? Or are they (please tell where you are from) ? It seems like total aberration to me not to test, since women with ovarian cancer are almost systematically put on hormone replacement therapy (premarin) after total hysterectomy ! My best friend, who has ovarian cancer, insisted to have this test done at my suggestion, and guess what : her tumor was positive for both !!! By chance, she wasn't taking the prescribed premarin... more

Resolved Question: I just started taking bio-identical hormones?

Last week, I went to see my doctor about taking hormone replacement therapy. I am in menopause (surgical menopause after hysterectomy) and I'm having a LOT of symptoms. I asked him for the hormones because I was having "quality of life" issues and really needed some hormones. He prescribed me bio-identical estrogen and progesterone. Bio-identical means they were plant based and they are NOT the synthetic hormones made from pregnant horse urine. Anyway, even those these hormones are non-synthetic, they still have risks because they are still hormones. If anyone here has experience with hormones or pharmacy or medicine, I would really appreciate your comments on this. My doctor gave me the presciption but he did ask me to sign a paper saying that I understood that taking these hormones puts me in a high risk category of getting breast cancer. Would appreciate your advice on this if you have some knowledge about this. Thanks, Robin more
