GARDASIL, TB Test, && small sampled blood test.?

I'm getting my physical done in two days, and i need a TB test, a blood test, and a gardasil shot.

Do these hurt? I am very afraid of needles. I recently got 5 vaccines and they did not hurt a lot. Do these shots/tests hurt more or less than vaccines? The vaccines were just a little poke, but what about the TB test, blood test, and gardasil shot? And they don't need to draw a lot of blood, i think they only need a small sample, but still.

Please help me..do these hurt, and if so do they hurt more/less than a vaccine?

I am 12. TB test, GARDASIL, and blood test.
Answer:
unless your afraid of needles or hate shots, it may just sting a little. when i got my first gardasil shot i just thought it would sting when the needle went in but in fact it started burning when they pushed the medicine in, wasnt extremely bad, but tolerable, other than that you should be ok.
the shot hurts
a needle's a needle, doesn't matter what's in it, and if you said you're afraid, it's gonna hurt (whether or not it really does) just 'cause you psyched yourself out already
OK, i have had a TB test, blood test and the gardasil shot, all you need to do is relax and it shouldn't hurt that much, i hate needles too so just relax and don't worry about it , it will be over before you know it.
Is garidlsal the HPV shots? im not sure if it is i think it is i got the HPV shot im 21 a few months ago there a series of 3 of them and the shot was a quick one but after i had it it felt like someone punched me in my arm tb test dont bother me at all its better to be safe then sorry just remeber ur getting them done to make sure u r in good health the series tb and blood work doesnt hurt.

ok tb test doesnt hurt at all, blood test might hurt a tiny bit but no more than a pinch..the big secret for the gardasil shot is to relax the muscle and ur arm.like relax it a lot and it wont hurt..i thought i was relaxing it a lot and i wasnt cuz it was my first shot and i didnt know wut to expect and it hurt for 3 days (like it was sore like i was just punched in the arm) and with the second shot...i really relaxed and it didnt hurt at all..i got back for my 3rd shot in september..gl hun and dont worry about..another secret is..dont look at the needle as it is going into ur arm, look away and start talkin to ur mom or something, if u dont look it wont hurt.
TB doesn't really hurt, the blood test isn't bad either...the usual quick prick (it helps it u don't watch), the gardasil on the other hand...the shot (needle) doesn't hurt it's the actual vaccine that hurts. it burns a little like the tetanus shot if you've had that recently. if you rub ur muscle after they give it it goes away pretty quickly. (i've had all 3 and they're really not that bad)

Gardasil Vaccine?

I'm 14 and I recieved my first round of Gardasil yesterday. After the vaccine, my body went crazy: I became nauseated, my throat closed up, and I began running a sudden fever. This was only seconds after the vaccine was given. The nurse noticed, but I didn't say anything. It was like hell... Now, it looks like a huge mosquito bite and is very tender and sore. Do you think I could be allergic to the vaccine?
Answer:
It's very possible. There are possible side effects to the vaccine. You should call your doctor immediately because if you are allergic, it could get worse.
I would talk to a doctor because I recieved my first round of the shot a little over a week ago.

I didn't have anything happen when I got it except for it hurt really bad in my arm for a few hours but the nurse told me that was typical.
Those are the side effects to Gardasil, so you DEFINATELY had an allergic reaction to the vaccine. The doctor or technician that distributes the vaccine should have warned you of the side effects verbally and through a fact sheet.

Sweety, YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING!! If you had this kind of reaction to the first does (out of three), then you'll probably have the same reactions to the next two dosages.

You need to speak to a doctor before going back again in August for your second shot.

Gaining weight while period?

ok so ive heard that u gain weight when ur getting ur period... is this true? and if yes how much weight?
Answer:
You can hold more water weight during this time, but it shouldn't ever be more than five lbs. After you menstruate, you should lose the water weight.
Yup. You start retaining fluid and you get bloated. I put on about a kilogram.. Not sure what that converts to in pounds.
your body retains fluid but it doesnt amount to that much.
u do cuz of the water retention, ur body retain water when u have ur period, normally its around 2-3 lb, but u lose it whiting couple of days of ur period, u can help it by reducing ur salt and carbs intake and do any mild activity like walking to lose the extra water weight. good luck.
Yes you gain but its not fat its water your body retains water or stores water to prevent you from dehydrating while bleeding causes lose of liquid to the body
you then loose the weight after your period is over, not all retain water and bloat
you retain water, so gain water weight

Funny shape boobs?

My boobs are triangular shape and I am worried that guys will hate them when im older. (Im only 15)
Answer:
OK you are 15 and right now you are worried about what people think about you. Trust me on this one boys don't care what shape they are. What do boys at your age think (I don't care what they look like as long as they get to see them maybe touch them). But really you should not worry about it you are young. Just be happy with you the way you are. And don't let the boys do what i said they are thinking your to young.
You can't worry about what boys want, be happy with yourself. That's more important. If they don't like you because of your boobs, you don't want to be with a shallow jerk like that anyway!
dont worry! guys are just happy to be able to see ANY boobs, they're not worried about how they look. Remember every lil thing about you is gorgeous because it makes you YOU! Boobs come in all sizes and shapes so u rle dont need to worry :)
ok well ur still in puberty it sounds like... tehy will eventually even out and be more full coney boobs is the 3nd stage or w/e u want to call it in breast development... it can take up to 10 years for boobs to fully grow

Friend's sister's period problem?

A few hours ago, sometime last night, my friend called telling me her sister got a period and is crying in her room. She's only 10 so you can't blame her. She needs help from me to see how to make her not scared of having a period. We told her it only comes once a month and is never painful if you use a pad. Please help. She WILL NOT stop crying in her room telling herself that she shouldn't be having her period, or that she wished she wasn't so matured.
Answer:
Is she in pain? From personal experience, I can tell you that they CAN be painful.

Just make sure that she understands that it is a natural part of life. Yes, it can be somewhat of a nuisance, but it means that someday she will be able to have kids of her own. Don't treat her like a kid---she understands more than most people give her credit for (you should hear some of the stuff my 5 year old will say, given the chance).

It may help to help her research the topic. That way she understands exactly what is happening to her body. I know that they are supposedly taught this in school, (nowadays, who knows??) but it never hurts to make sure that she knows the process.

Just remember to NOT talk down to her---talk to her like you would your best girlfriend. She is counting on you to be honest with her.after all, you have been through it, so why wouldn't you know what you are talking about??
tell her it is apart uf life i have mine i am 16 got it when i was 12
OMG that sounds horrible where is her mom thats what she needs her to be there and comfort her ummm idk what to say besides that that poor girl
this sounds corny but it might work,
tell her that having your period is a gift and that she should be proud of her changing body. also mention that all her friends would be really jelous!!
haha, i dont know if this helps :(
Your just going to have to tell her that its ok that shes having her period now. Acknowledge that yes its scary but its not that bad. Tell her about what it was like when you go your period and how you survived. Throw a small party between the three of you now that shes a woman!
tell her she will get breasts now too
Tell her she is an adult now and has more freedom thats wat stopped me from crying, im 14 and got my period at age 13, and i was crying cuz i didnt want it, my mom gave me alot of chocolate cuz i was craving that and she told me stories of how when she got hers she felt like a woman that should work

It's really sad that she's so scared, maybe you can find a book about it, and also maybe take her to the doctor to make sure there is nothing wrong. Is she beginning to show breast budding or pubic hair? It is unusual to have a period before either of those two things in which case her parents should really have talked to her about that.
Well.. tell her some people get it when they're 9... i did.. it's normal, it's okay, to get it at 10, though it's earlier than when most girls get it. And cheer her up about it.. a lot of kids like to sound more grown up, so you could tell her stuff about that.. and you can tell her your funny and weird experiences with having your period... you know, stuff like that. tell her you were scared too when you got yours.. (were you?) or that a lot of girls are.. i definitely was. but after a while, you get used to it and it's okay, you learn to deal with it.
Aw! That poor little girl. The first time you get it is always scary, so I can understand why she is so upset. I would calmly talk to her about it explain to her what is happening and how it's OK that she is 'so matured'. Get her a box of candy and her favorite movie and surprise her, maybe that would make her feel a little better.
I know its really rough, (same thing happened to me)
comfort her and tell her that it wont hurt and that everything will be okay.

Also you could share experiences about your first period to show her how scared you were too, and that she has nothing to worry about because it wasn't so bad.

You can rent her favorite movies, buy popcorn,candy,chips and ice cream and watch movies together.
Get out some board games and play em'.
or you can stay with her for a sleep over, and can talk about boys, (that should take her mind off it lol)

Right now you need to comfort her, shes pretty young, i wasn't that young when i got mine, and i cried for hours in my room. The best thing for her right now is loads of attention and comforting.

Good Luck :)
Well I got min when I was 9 and I didn't believe it because what my friends at school was telling me. The reason could have something to do with her friends ands what they have been telling her but you have to remember she is 10 and sometimes its something that you can't help but something that she has to deal with in her own way.
I got mine at 11. And my friend got hers in the beggining of 5th grade, she had JUST turned 10 too. Lots of people get it when they are younger. And tell her that its way better than getting it at like 15 when everyone else already has gotten it. She would feel left out if that happened.

Friend just started smoking... please help me help her!?

She is 18 so it's not like there's anything illegal about it, but I almost wish there were.

She's only smoked one pack, she said, and I believe her on that. But I also believe that she is underestimating the importance of this decision. She says I'm over-reacting, that it's just one pack. But there is still a lot of toxic stuff in that single pack.

Her grandfather almost died due to smoking-related causes, and she is a very good biology student, so she definitely knows all of the crap that smoking can cause.

She smells terrible and looks stupid when she smokes, and no one wants to hang around her. But she says that she just wanted to try it, and that it's not about peer pressure or looking cool, just about trying the forbidden fruit.

How can I convince her that this fruit is "forbidden" for a reason? She is otherwise very mature, and I want to treat her like an adult, but it is so frustrating to think that she might die from being too stubborn to stop smoking!
Answer:
Try telling her the same way you just told us. Its not going to matter though because only she can make herself quit if she wants to. Just remember you're not her mother. And even if you were, there's nothing you can do about it since she's 18.
tell her you are throwing your life in the toilet and you get weaker, have orange nails, bad breath and you smell very bad, put it down before it puts u down
Tell her , YES it does make on look cool and grown up UNTIL they get addicted and run out.Then they have to go around BEGGING for a smoke if they are broke.Ask her to name 10 people who have been smoking for a minimum of 5 years who say they are GLAD they started smoking and would recommend it to anyone.Then tell her if her biological make up is anything like her grandpa's what he died from is what she has to look forward to.
I completely agree with you, I wish it was outlawed. Other than telling her your fears there's nothing you can do. It's her decision to start AND to stop, you can't make her...
Tell her you would stop being her friend if she continues to smoke. If your friendship means to her, she will stop smoking. On the other hand if you don't nag her too much, she may stop it. She probably made it an ego point. She will stop on her own, not coz u tell her to. Good luck!
keep doing what you are doing. Tell her that you don't like it and maybe she will listen. Other than that there really isn't anything else you can do. She probably has smoked more than 1 pack if she knows you don't approve of it ;she probably lied to you to make it seem like she doesn't do it as often.
1.) remind her that smoking can kill you
2.) remind her that her smoking can hurt others
3.) Show her a picture of a cancerous lung
http://www.stop-smoking-in-1-hour.co.uk/... im REALLY sorry!
4.) Show her a picture of a hairy tounge
http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/39...
5.) tell her thats what can happen to her!
6.) Tell her that she knows she shouldnt smoke and if she does you wont hang around her!
7.) remind her of her grandfather!
8.) GOOD LUCK!

oh yeah, tell her that she is gonna have trouble getting a date if she smells bad!! no one will wanna date her!
Like you said, she is 18 and mature...and makes her own decisions. She knows the consequences of smoking with her grandfather having lung disease. Sounds just like me when I was 18...but I never quit.

The more a person smokes, the less their taste buds work, the harder it is to breathe when working out...and the longer you smoke, the harder it is to quit.

Now...she had the one pack...you didn't say if she went and got more. If she was only curious...and the one pack was it...then there is no problem...she won't smoke again.

I watched my grandmother pass on from complications of smoking: Emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, even colon cancer. Lung cancer is an extremely painful and scary way to pass on...yet that didn't motivate me to quit and stay quit.

Unfortunately, you can talk to her until you are blue in the face. You may need to practice some tough love...do not hang with her while she is smoking..and tell her the reason. Let her know you care for her as a friend, but just cannot be around her when she lights up.

Ultimately, it is your friend's decision...and speaking as a smoker...no one can make you stop...it has to be the smoker's decision and motivation to keep from grabbing that Marlboro and a lighter. Just be supportive when she does seriously attempt to quit...she will be grouchy the longer she smokes before attempting to quit.
you could tell her that the smoke isn't helping global worming,or you could tell that shes your Friend and you don't want her to smoke because its addictive.Right now she said that shes just smoking one pake of them,but eventual it will be 2 then 3 then 4 then 5 and on.you should tell her that to.
tell her if you won't quit you're going to lose your life,family and,friends.friends meaning me and other people.
Well all that i can tell you is to talk to your friend, not like a baby but as an adult explain to her the death causes of somking. explain that people have died from smoking. Tell her that she is not only hurting herself but she is hurting the people she loves.Tell her how she looks tell her how she smells Tell her that nobody exept you wants to hang out with her because of her smoking issue. Tell her that as soon as she picked up that 1 ciggarette ahe would want more and more and her body is gonna start wanting more and more!! well i hope i helped. thanx
Tell her she doesn't look cool or even attractive when she smokes.

Tell her how much she stinks.

Leave her when she lights up. If she asks you why you did that, tell her that its disgusting and you won't be around that crap.

Let her know that her clothes smell like crap as well.
hi Hun
sometimes people do stuff to make them feel beter take away stress
yeah know!!
old habits die hard

Frequesnt menstrual cycles (plzzzz help)?

some months ago, i had a break up with my boyfriend. i was shattered. i didnt have my 'period' for next two months. After that, when my 'period' started, it was too frequent. Sometimes 3 times a month. Whats wrong?? Please help me?? (Educated answers only, plz!)
Answer:
You are probably just having a major major hormone imbalance, perhaps brought about from your body having to deal with such extreme stress. Usually that much stress is bound to show itself with some bodily reaction. Usually breaking out with pimples will be the affect of teens and young people. There is the possibility that it could be a cyst
causing you to have frequent flows tho. Or also a problem
with the lining of your uterus (can't remember how to pronounce the correct term to spell it).
If you are flowing that often, you need a GYN now. Too much
blood loss will cause you to be anemic, and that could be
going on right now if you are tired or weak. Anyway, a GYN
will order a blood test along with his exam to see if there's anything else going on he should know about, as well.
So make an early appt. to see your primary doctor to authorize seeing a GYN as soon as possible. I know what
being so often in your period is like. Not fun at all.
Go to the doctor.
I doubt that this had anything to do with the break-up. First, most important, take a pregnancy test. Every woman will have some sort of abnormal cycles in her life. If you are or were on any type of birth control (shot, pill, patch, ring) that you stopped or started, it may be related to that. If this pattern continues for more than two months, you need to see a doctor
It's probably mostly related to Stress.. if you have lots of stress
in you life it messes with your hormones and can cause your period to be out of whack, but I would say that if it doesn't clear up within the next month or two I would contact you gyno to get check out... never fool around with your period... it could be something serious if it doesn't change.
