I usually get cramping on the first day, and tenderness two days before my period starts, but if I've been eating healthily, it's very light and there's no cramping.

1. Very rarely I'd get one on a non-cheek area of my face/head. NEVER on my cheek besides shaving-caused ones (2 or 3 in my entire 21yrs of life)
2. I have none of those
3. Usually one cold, maybe two
4. Only if its cold, haha. Normally (like now) I have an open window and fan on me and still feel like I'm about to sweat. Without these, I get very hot.
5. Definitely not nails, I wouldn't say so for hair
6. Very small moons, some white spots
7. Currently it is awful (I'm a lazy student) - pizza, oven chips, noodles, basically lots of carbs, no fruit or veg, not much meat. There have been very few healthy diet periods of my life - I was overweight between the ages of 7 and 18, since that time I lost over 50lbs. I will resume healthy eating after this semester though
8. I don't crave anything, favourite meal is Sweet and Sour Pork
9. 3-6
10. Current diet - twice at most a day which is rare, normally 0 or once. Healthy diet - once a day. No problems with it either
11. Nope
12. No tea or coffee for a few years now, as for alcohol I consumed it regularly between Sept 2005 and January 2006, before that and since then very rarely. I have once again turned my back on the stuff
13. 1.5 litres maybe?
14. Besides KP and rosacea/KPRF, none that I know of
15. No breakfast, chocolate/crisps/sandwiches for lunch, then something like pie/burger/fish and chips for tea
16. Mum's fine as far as I know, Dad has pancreatitis
17. No specific age that I recall, but I've had it for as long as I remember, certainly since age 13 at least. I am 21 in a month
18. Mum might have it on her legs, Dad looks like he may have had on his arms and legs but he's 50 now and has taken loads of vitamins for years so that may have helped him. When I asked about KP a couple months ago, he told me my aunts have it bad (I never see them), but I've never noticed so who knows if he was just easing my mind?
19. Legs and thighs - dots but no bumps, covered in them. Arms - forearms aren't too bad, red dots. One side is clear, the top isn't. Upper arms leading into shoulders - the worst I have it, moderately bumpy and all the dots. Also have very tiny dots on belly/chest/back hair
20. Had eczema as a child and am almost certain there's something going on with my scalp. I've been growing my hair for 3 years nearly and it's slowing down and very thin. My eyebrows flake alot too - what the hell's that all about?
21. Eczema, that's about it I think
22. Blue
23. I pack a little extra weight so yeah. But regardless of actual exercise, I have quite low energy and even when I WANT to be active I can't be bothered, if that makes sense
24. Rarely feel energised, feel tired/prone to fall asleep if at home after a carby meal. Mostly though I feel the same
25. 5'9 and something like 170lbs
26. Not currently. I walk to and from uni which takes up about 40 minutes a few times a week
27. Normally yes, milk, but recently, no
28. Stretch marks on the belly and biceps
29. I used to (I've experienced Pure O a few times), but now my outlook on life is different. That said, I think I just get anxious over different things now, haha. I'm quite shy and very conscious of other's judgements, if that counts (not in a vain way, though). If I'm alone and in public I feel like I'm 'on show' and with that on my mind get a little anxious which can lead to mild flushing and getting hot.
