Okay. My last real boyfriend was a little over a year ago. I met someone new and I really like them and they also like me too. But... whenever I'm away from him, I feel like.. weird about going into a relationship. I mean when I'm with him I'm fine and enjoying being with him immensely. But when I'm away I feel just... weird about it... Now this isn't a question about being over my ex.. Because I most definitely am, and don't try to tell me that I'm not. I don't know what my problem is... ..

Okay... I seem to be attracting the wrong kind of guys.. THey aren't my type. I rejected 5 guys this year... Why can't I attract a guy that I actually like??

Thanks everyone! I have used the Eucerin and many prescribed ones from my doctor. I think I'll try the Baby Oil. I've heard that can help when people break out from lotion. Thanks everyone for your helP!!

Anytime I use lotion, I get a really itchy burning rash of hives... I've tried everything, even the non-allergenic types, a doctor prescribed type, and the non scented types...

Is anyone here allergic to lotion? What do you use for a substitution?

I got diagnoses with asthma last year after having it for about 2-3 years but not having a clue what was up. I had already had a bunch of small asthma attacks and one really serious one before I was diagnosed. The reason we came to the conclusion that I might have asthma was during my HS soccer season. When I breathed it hurt in my chest and lungs. It was a sharp pain and it was hard to breathe in. It was hard to catch a breath. And I knew something was wrong then, because we'd been conditioning all season so there was NO reason for me not to be in shape. Then during my State Championship game last year, it was extrememly hot, and I'd been drinking a LOT of water. I'd go out on the field for 2 minutes not be able to breathe, almost pass out... Not a good time, let me tell you... Anyway, that's how we figured I had asthma. We went to the doctor's and they confirmed it. I use an Advair inhalor, and albuterol rescue inhalor, and the pill Singular. Hope this helped! and Good Luck with your son!!

Yeah, I take Advair, and have an Albuterol as a rescue inhalor. And I also take Singular. It's a pill that helps reduce the symptoms of asthma. I'd go to your doctor to get the latest info on asthma and how to prevent it.

You can "outgrow" asthma. Depending on how you treat it or how your lifestyle changes, it can go away... I was diagnosed with asthma last year after having it for around 2-3 years, yet not knowing what it was. I hate having it and wish I could outgrow it considering I'm sooo active in sports year round. But, hey... life isn't fair, so get over it, lol.

Sweetheart, you're only 13, and you didn't understand what he was saying, so don't get all rude and tell people to grow up, b/c that's what you need to be doing yourself. As in reply to the post! Thanks so much! I'm athletic and curvy and you're right, many people feel self conscious about having curves. Big hips, skinny waste... lol But I'm most of the time comfortable with myself, but thanks for the reassurement!!

That's almost funny. I'm just now 17 and 5'8"ish maybe 5'9" and everyone I know really like having a boyfriend who is taller than them! Especially us taller girls.. My ex boyfriend was annoyed because I was pretty much the same height as him. He always joked about how I was taller than him... But... Yeah.. Being tall is a good thing! Don't worry! They're pmly 13! It'll will change!!

One word... ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I was given a cortizone shot, and it worked for a while, but the next time I got taken out, the pain came STRAIGHT back and isn't leaving... It's in the meniscus area, it has the same symptoms, and... ugh... I just want to get this taken care of... Should I get another MRI and another opinion? I don't really like the doctor I'm going to...

Okay, No offense to the ol' doctor method, but sometimes "rest it" is what they say when they don't know what to do. I mean, I had tendonitus in my Left knee when I was like 13. I am a very very busy athlete, and can't afford rest. He told me to rest it, my Dad and I disagreed. I went on a kept playing on it, and it was fine... I mean, SOMETIMES I can feel it when the weather's changing, but yeah... If it hurt, I just iced it a lot after games. IBprophen usually works. I'm not saying Doctor's aren't smart, because they definitely are.. I just hate the ol' "rest it" response... Because that never works for me, trust me, I've tried...

I've had a concussion. I was headed in the head in a HS soccer game. The only FOR SURE way you can tell is if you go to the doctor. It's not a big deal at the appt. They just check your symptoms and yada yada. Nothing big... But if you want to feel better, you need to go seek medical attention.

Thanks for the smilies. Sorry, I'm a bit of a "blonde" sometimes, haha. I mean, I'm booksmart, but sometimes things go right over my head, haha. I'm not necessarily a St. Louis Hater, just they're soo snobby, and think they're God's gift to everything...
