  • Does anyone get weird flutters in stomach with the IUD?

    I got the Mirena IUD about 3 months ago. Ever since I got it I get random flutters mostly in my mid to upper stomach. I know for fact that I am NOT pregnant as I had my tubes tide 11 years ago and I got the IUD for heavy periods and not for birth control.

    As for the feeling, it's not painful, just really annoying. It truly feels like a baby is kicking and rolling around inside my stomach( I've had 2 pregnancies, and this feels the same) It's not gas bubbles either. It happens very randomly. While hiking, sleeping, sitting......

    I have read some women who have the same feeling but that they don't know what was causing it. I think there is a link to the IUD bit my doctor does not. So please help me solve this.

  • Had Mirana IUD placed a month ago. I need a tampon because I'm bleeding so heavy.?

    I know it's normal to spot bleed for up to a year of getting the Mirana IUD. But I'm not spotting, I'm having a light period everyday......I'm needing to wear a panty liner and tampons. The whole reason I got the IUD was to help my very heavy monthly flow. I would rather have a really bad week bleeding than a nonstop period. It's ruining my sex life with my husband too.

    My question, is it normal to bleed so much with placement of the Mirana? The doctor made it sound like a little spotting.

  • Can you use the southern Cali Disney city pass for more then one person?

    So my family will be going to Southern California for a week and half. Our friends are coming also. But, they are only coming for one week. So, I was wondering if we all buy the city pass and (they only want to do Disney 2 days vs the 3 days allowed) we use their pass for one day( the day they don't want to go). And then we all use our passes for the days we are all going to be there. Is that possible?

    That way we could go 2 days before they come down? And when they get there we go just the 2 days plus the Sea World and Universal Studios.

  • What do I get my husband for Christmas.?

    What should I get my husband this year for Christmas? We have been married for almost 18 years so its getting harder to shop for him because he has everything he NEEDS. I want to get him something he WANTS. I have giving homemade coupon books (yes, you go pet the hint), guns, ammo, video games, PS3, XBox, clothes, coffee maker, wallets..... The list goes on. So, please give me your list of YOUR top 3 things you want(that I can actually buy without him around)and maybe it will trigger an idea for me. I don't want to spend more then a few hundred. And I would only spend that much if its really a good idea. So probably under 100.00. THANK YOU

    My husbands likes and dislikes are

    LIKES: hunter, little fishing, camping, hiking, rafting, beer, hair bands,

    DISLIKES: skiing, sports, gambling,

  • Why can I swallow cold water easier than say warm(not hot) water.?

    When I drink water that is really cold I can drink a large glass quickly. But when I drink water or tea that is just warm, I can't physically swallow it in more then one swallow.

    Since the water in not hot you would think you could swallow it at the same speed.

    IDK, I've just been curious about this question for a long time now.

  • What is the right age to start shaving a child's legs?

    My daughter who is physically age 10 but is disabled and is cognitively around the age 6 or 7. ( She has a rare birth defect that causes this) She is in the 4th grade.

    Her legs are very hairy and I know how mean kids are already about her being disabled and I want her to fit in as much as possible. So what do you think would be the appropriate age to shave her legs( electric shaver)? I know I can't stop kids from being mean but this is something I can do.

  • What's do I need a brain MRI and EEG if my CT scan was normal?

    Hello, I have had many health problems over the past several years. Tonsillectomy, sinus surgery, and cervical C5-6 fusion 3 years ago. I now have C4-5 herniation and trying to just deal with it because I don't want another surgery. I am/was on several medications ( oxycodone, Robaxin, Naproxan, Nortriptalyn, Wellbutrin). The Nortipalyn and Wellbutrin were newer medications. After Being on the Wellbutrin for 4 weeks I had a first time seizure(seizures are common with both of these medications). While seizuring, I fell from a standing position and fell on the back of my head. Was rushed in for a CT scan that came back normal, and my head stapled. Saw a neurologist who said I now need a EEG and MRI before I can start driving again. I told him I don't have any problems with my head. It's my neck that hurts.

    So my question is why would I need a MRI and EEG if the CT was normal and I'm not complaining of head problems. What does a MRI show that a CT scan can't?

  • Juicing cannabis (marijuana leaves) what IF ANY, are the benefits?

    In Oregon it's legal to have a medical marijuana permit. We have dispensaries everywhere here. my friend in Arizona got her card too. They do not have the dispensaries there. The doctors recommend juicing cannabis leaves daily.

    SO MY QUESTION IS, WHAT ARE THE REAL BENEFITS TO JUICING THE LEAVES? Is there really any? I looked it up a bit on YouTube and there are people who do it.

  • If marijuana is so bad, why did God put the plant on earth? Genesis 1:29.?

    I have been struggling as to if I should get my medical  license card or not.  I have many friends and family who would not approve of my choice.   I'm 36 and have chronic pain.  I had back surgery 14 months ago.  Just found out through another MRI that I have more problems and need more surgery.  I DO NOT want more surgery, what's the point, since the first surgery didn't work.   Also, taking pain medication is not how I want to live the rest of my life.

    If you read the bible.

    Then God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; (Genesis 1:29 NASB) 

    Why would he make the plant if he didn't want us to use it?

  • Have you ever experienced your brain wake up before your body, and your paralyzed for a brief time?

    It's so scary when your eyes are wide awake but you can't move any body part or talk. It's like your briefly paralyzed. And then after 20 or 30 seconds you can move and function again.

    It almost felt like something was pushing me down.
