I promise you..the symptoms you have described are not characteristic of anything related to being sick poppet!
it sounds as though you're lacking in Vitamin C..

Worrying about it made me feel more unwell so i tried to...

Mitch, i often experience diarreah during the time before my period..i am also guilty of pigging out throughout the month, and combined with hormones, it leads to sometimes unusual period patterns....

Hey Wing, long time no see.

Christy, hey.
perhaps you're aware that your nausea hasn't been an issue recently, therefore when you do experience an irregular sensation in your stomach, you feel nasueaus because you almost...

Jackie,
There's no reason at all why you should be having to feel like this unecessarily. You need to get back out there, no matter how hard it is. Chat to your family, make sure there's never a...
