Lot's of women retain water before there period, and it clears soon after the onset of menstration.  You may have lymphatic blockage.  Try Manual lymph drainage or very light full body massage, preferably by a liscenced  massage therapist.  You can try a herbal tincture- Cleavers.  Cleavers helps the lymphatic system detox.  Also, dry skin brushing can help move lymp along.

Could be anything from an inner ear infection, to MS. Go see a doctor.

Feel just under your jawline below your ears about 2 inches. If you feel something, approx. walnut sized, on each side ofyour neck, your glands are swollen. If you feel nothing, then they usually are not. Feel when you are not feeling ill, so you can compare the difference when you are sick.

It could be that you have fluid in it. Have you had a cold or been swimming? Does it hurt or are you dizzy? Keep check for those things and go to the dr if it starts. If its water in the ear mix up 1 part vinegar and 1 part alcohol and drop some in your ear. Don't use cold water it hurts!

You do not lose enough blood during your period for that to matter.\nYou can always ask your doctor.

Between your bones is sinovial fluid. Sometimes gas builds up in this fluid. Abrupt movements pop the gas bubbles and that is what you are hearing. It can be caused by arthritis or previous trauma to that area. By swinging your neck quickly you can pinch a nerve, that can lead to some serious problems. stretch in the morning and during the afternoon so that the tightness you might feel goes away

A trip to the Doc will help in more ways than one. Especially if its been a while since you were at the Doc last. maybe your leftside tube is blocked, cause you should have pain on both sides at one time or another. Or chaos if you have PMS on top of that.

This is a common symptom of pharyngitis, or inflammation of the back of the throat.  The nerves cross-over with some of those to the ear canal, so pain in the throat can be referred to the ear and pain in the ear can be referred to the throat.  If you have pain when you swallow, it is likely the throat.  On occasion, inflammation of the throat can also affect the normal drainage of the middle ear, but the ear pain would be constant throbbing with pressure, which can be unbearable (not just noticeable with swallowing).\n\nAlthough strep throat is possible, pharyngitis is usually VIRAL, and antibiotics will not help.  Warning signs of strep throat include high (103+) fevers, body aches, swollen lymph nodes in the neck and foul breath.  Viral pharyngitis usually resolves within a few days if you tough it out.  Fevers, chills, body aches or inability to swallow your own saliva are all worrisome signs which should be seen right away.  Otherwise, you can go with a diet of warm liquids, get some lozenges, and take it easy for a few days.\n\nHope you feel better soon!

I suggest you let your doctor take a look. There may be various reasons why the pressure behind your eardrum is not equalizing properly. When your jaw moves it changes the relationship between the eardrum, the air in the cavity behind it, and outside world. The change in pressure is then sensed as a 'pop'. You may, for example, have some fluid blocking your Eustachian tube. Or you could have an ear infection. There's lots of things it might be, so your doctor is the best one to advise you.

Hey im 12 and got my period at your age. Wear a pad. Thats what im wearing now, Don't worry. I knew about this WAAAAY before you but we learn at diffrent ages. don't be afraid to ask your mother or another female. Even a dad or uncle is ok too. I don't get alot of cramps but I usually sleep for awhile. I have PMS thats pre menstral syndrome. That means im irritated and have symptoms earlier. Don't wear tampons at your age either. Stick with pads unless your parents say somthing. In school try to be the same as usual. You also might bloat. If period symptoms get in the way get some midol. (sp?) Also when wearing a pad try to stay away from swimming or somthing like that. For sleeping use overnight pads. If you don't have any use a normal pad and put a dark towel under you. Stay away from light clothing. If it gets stained it'll be seen like white on black. During your period wear red,dark blue,black etc. So if its stained its hard to notice. If you ever see a red stain on your pants then welcome to the woman race. Also if you have vaginal discharge (White creamy stuff) on that 'area' Then its close to coming. Be prepared. Trust me I found out I had mine because I wore a white nightgown to bed that night. I didn't know it was there until my mom literally yelled it to me infront of my brother. So if you get yours tell her. Don't make her have to shout it like its the fourth of July.  You may also get some other hormones around this time like starting to like boys. You don't have to wonder 'What the heck? I like a boy!' like I did. But don't let it get outta hand. All a period is is when an egg dies inside you. It bleeds and thats what causes a period. It isn't just blood. It can be tiny little clots of it too. This is normal to have. A period should last from 3 to 10  days. You should only get it once a month. Light or heavy be prepared. For light periods get To-Go pads instead of using a big pad. For heavy ones get thick pads. for inbetween use normal. Try to relax during a period too. Don't overdo it either. If you do you get irritated and snap at people and don't mean to. I did this alot and got into trouble. Save yourself a lecture and don't overdo it and relax. Bring a small bag to school in your backpack or somthing and put in extra underwear and pads or tampons if thats what your parents want you to use. You'll thank yourself if you do that so you don't make it public cause somtimes people are busybodies and try to see what you're doing. Do this if you are embarrased about asking for a pad at school from your male/female teacher. But don't be they do this all the time.\n\n\nIf you wanna talk email me at:\n\nsatinfairy@bellsouth.net\n\nOR use IM\n\nYIM\nqueen_zelda2002@yahoo.com\n\nMSN\nsatinfairy@bellsouth.net\n\nAIM\nsatinfairy

Elevate your head on a couple of pillows at night.  Get a humidifier in your bedroom, and during the day, drink water.  No dairy products.  No milk, cheese, yogurt, or ice cream.  Your eustatian tube in your ear gets full of mucous when you lie down flat.  Call your doctor anyway, and tell him how long you have taken the medicine he prescribed,(doctor's have a lot of patients, and they can't remember all the details when you call them), and ask him for advice.  He may want to see you to check your ears, or prescribe a stronger medication.  Be sure you are taking all of your medicine exactly as the doctor prescribed it to be taken.

I think you should see an ear, nose, throat specialist because it may be your thyroid gland if it's in the neck! I would ask the specialist to have an ultrasound of your neck done! Good luck!!

Women can have a whole lot of symptoms to deal with right before their periods.  Bloating, swelling of their feet and ankles, nausea, crave chocolate, mood swings and a whole bunch more.  Doctor's often contribute it to hormones.  Hormones can cause all kinds of things to women.  You are not alone.  Many women suffer this and other symptoms right before their periods.  \n\nGood luck to you and I hope I was helpful to you!

Either you are dehydrated, or stressed about something.  Drink more fluids before you feel thirst. Also being that you are a woman, I would check your irons levels. Maybe you are anemic, and don't have enough iron in your blood before and during your period. G'luck and take it easy.

Feel around the top of your neck, around the line where you feel your pulse. If your glands are swollen you should feel two lumps on either side of where your trachea lies, protruding from your next.\n\nAnother place to feel them is in the armpit! \n\nIf your not sure exactly where too look, search lymph glands/nodes through Yahoo or Google and see what diagrams come back!
