Freaked out?
Emilia asked:
I am 15 years old, and I have had an upset stomach today. I took some pepto bismol but on the back of the package it says that it is possible to cause reye’s syndrome. I don’t have the chicken pox or viral infections. I weight close to 118 lbs…how likely is it that I could get reye’s syndrome from this?

being sick?
mahbabesgrl asked:
Ok, so i’ve been coughing, badly lately…and this morning i did the usual, alarm goes off, turn it off, and wait for the next to come on….on the last alarm, i laid back down, and suddenly got really nauseas. So I got me some of the pep b. and it said if you have any symptoms for sickness, and then experience nausea you may have a serious but rare illness, reye syndrome, or something like that….i really don’t think i’m that sick, but what info is out there about it?
well, i suppose i should feel dumb, because i did not know that coughing causes mucous build up (when it comes to diseases, i only study sexual diseases….) but it’s probably just that, i didn’t think it was anything severe, just a little curious! thank you!

Midwifes & or Doctors please. Pregnancy & post birth?
babygirl4us14 asked:
My baby is 2 weeks old, my post labour bleeding had almost stopped, but late last night i got bad cramps & when i went to the toilet i lost a fair bit of blood & a few large clots (that looked like chunks of liver) the blood was bright red.
During my pregnacy i took medication, that had 324mg of aspirin in it per tablet, i would sometimes take up to 4 of these a day (it was prescribed medication for migraines) When my bub was given her shot after birth, she bled alot, could this be due to the aspirin i took while pregnant? I have also taken this medication since i gave birth, yesterday was the 1st time, could this be why i bled like that last night? & I am breastfeeding. My Dr told me it was perfectly ok & necessary due to the bad migraines i get, but Ive since been told this morning it’s not safe & i could pass the aspirin through my breastmilk to my bub & cause Reye’s syndrome. If i haven;t already done enough damage taking it while pregnant!!!
Have i?
I am aware that you are not supposed to take aspirin while pregnant, but I had no idea my PRESCRIBED medication had aspirin in it & i asked my Dr when i fell pregnant if it was safe to continue to take it & he said it was fine, it wasn’t until this morning when I was talking to a nurse that she tol me what I’m taking has aspirin in it. I have no intention of taking this medication again while I’m feeding, but I am concerned as to what effect it has had on my bub to date & if there is anything i should look out for…
Bad Side Effects with Vyvanse.please help?
Mia asked:
I’m 28 and I just got diagnosed with ADD, my doctor put me on 30mg of Vyvanse. 1st day was fine, I felt like I could focus at work and I was getting alot done. The 2nd day I woke up with a headache and then after taking the meds, my pain didn’t go away. I took aspirin through out the day but just felt ill. I was getting hot flashes and became very moody. I even cried at work and I’m not the crying type. It wasn’t because I felt sick it was because everyone was irritating me. I was about ready to quit my job. I have had problems with depression before but I thought now that I know what was wrong with me things would be better. On the 3th day of taking this medicine I woke up again with a headache I call the doctor and explained that I had a headache for the pass two day. He just said that the medicine was to much for me. He dropped it down to 20mg. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this experience? Does anyone think maybe it’s this medicine or do I need to give it sometime?
Should I ask if I can be switch to a different medicine? I have read many comments that other people have written. I do understand that you get side effects…I get that, but if the bad side effects out way the pros of using this medicine than whats the point?
I am asking for help because I have noticed a difference in my attitude and I am worried that I might fall back into my depressive state.

Teenager took asprin?
miss.tified asked:
I took asprin a few days ago, about eight low dose. Never heard about any danger of teenagers taking asprin, than my mom told me about reye’s syndrome, or some other disease. I’m 15 by the way, I feel fine, just really worried that I’ll get some disease. Is it true that asprin causes this? Is it rare? What should I look for?
Please answer I’m worried
