I am having an epideral injection today at 3pm, I am being sedated I was told not to eat or drink anything after 8am - I was thirsty because of how warm it is and ate a piece of gum - but I accidentally swallowed my gum - will this hurt me?

Im an african american woman and my skin is a bit too dark especially since I just had a baby and all it just gotten worse, so I'm seeking information to directions to a dermatologist who gives the skin lighten body injection because I've tried all types of lotion, peels and they just don't work,...

I've been on the injection for 5 years. I'm a month late in getting my injection and I have not got my period yet. I have mild stomach pains and I'v had them for 2 weeks now. Is that normal?
