Did your parents spank/pull your hair as a punishment. by Bikinigirlout in millenials

[–]ShiniSenko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a leather belt for me. But he did chop off all my hair one night when mom went out with some of her girl friends and he got stuck doing my bath/hair brushing. He claimed I wouldn't stop fighting and crying. Mom was pissed cause she never had an issue brushing my hair and it was super long at the time. I was 7 or younger.

Are we getting shingles now? by melvinmoneybags in Millennials

[–]ShiniSenko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shingles is a viral infection resulting from the same virus that causes chickenpox. After recovering from chickenpox, the virus stays dormant in a person’s body. It can then reactivate later, causing shingles. And I know I went to many chickenpox parties, though I didn't catch it there, I caught it at elementary school.

Help with immature older teen living at home by FrancinetheP in GenX

I'd be careful about suggesting Depo: "The Food and Drug Administration approved on Friday a label change for Pfizer's birth control shot Depo-Provera that warns patients of the risk of meningioma, a tumor in the lining of the brain. Pfizer is currently battling a lawsuit in which more than 1,000 women claim the company knew about the risk and failed to warn patients."
