WHat is it? http://www.healthcentral.com/genital-herpes/c/874104/145972/concerned http://www.healthcentral.com/genital-herpes/c/874104/143231/sharp Wed, 24 Aug 2011 22:53:59 -0400 hear me now Tonight I had sex. When we tried to do it a second time, I got this sharp pain up inside my vagina almost towards my butt. Then, the sharp pain started in my lower abdomen right about where my ovaries would be.  Now, I keep getting shots of the pain about every 30 seconds between my anus and tailbone...what the heck is this? is it serious? http://www.healthcentral.com/genital-herpes/c/874104/143231/sharp http://www.healthcentral.com/genital-herpes/c/874104/140965/concerned Sat, 02 Jul 2011 23:24:18 -0400 hear me now My ex texted me today and said hes afraid he may have herpes.  He is at the beach, and said it started with his testicles being itchy and he thought it was just because of the sand.  Then his penis started developing red dots on it that were itchy.  It has been about 3 months since we last had sex.  I told him that herpes are usually blisters and they hurt more than itch.  What else could this be?? http://www.healthcentral.com/genital-herpes/c/874104/140965/concerned http://www.healthcentral.com/genital-herpes/c/874104/137630/plan-pill Sun, 01 May 2011 12:17:20 -0400 hear me now I took a knock off brand of the plan B pill.  It had 2 pills that I had to take 12 hours apart.  I did this about a month ago, and since then, I have had my period every other week and it's extremely heavy. What does this mean? Should I go to the doctor? http://www.healthcentral.com/genital-herpes/c/874104/137630/plan-pill http://www.healthcentral.com/genital-herpes/c/874104/135797/break Sun, 03 Apr 2011 14:52:19 -0400 hear me now I have an out break after not having one for about 4 or 5 months.

The first time was four scrapes on my wrist with a push pin, that left scars that I was ashamed of.  Then, I used a kitchen knife on my hip and, that hurt, but I made a few.  Just literally 5 minutes ago, I used a razor blade from my shaving razor, and cut a lot into my hip. I liked it and I'm afriad.

I broke up with my boyfriend a year ago and we just started speaking again.  My friends and family told me not to because he always used to put me down and degrade me. I told him my feelings were starting to come back and he told me his were too but he was committed to a girl back home that he was not together with. I told hime I would put my feelings aside and we could stay friends and he agreed.  The following night,... http://www.healthcentral.com/genital-herpes/c/874104/134434/pissed http://www.healthcentral.com/multiple-sclerosis/c/874104/133890/worr Sun, 13 Mar 2011 00:16:40 -0500 hear me now One of my best friends was just diagnosed with MS. He has always been there for me, and I want to help but I don't know what to do. Just be there for him when he needs me or what? I feel like I should do more. Any advice?

I set up the whole thing only for it to tell me at the end that I had to pay for it. SO frustrating!!! I keep telling everyone that i don't want a relationship. Which, in a way, I really don't!
