INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A calligraphy pen isn’t used quite the same way as a regular pen. The tip, or nib, of the pen should point diagonally away from you, to the left, as you write.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, can increase your risk of developing some types of fistulas. If you have symptoms of a fistula and you also know or suspect that you have an inflammatory bowel condition, let your doctor know.  You may have IBD if you experience persistent diarrhea, abdominal cramps, bloating, bloody stools, fever, nausea, and unexplained weight loss.  Diverticulitis, a condition in which small pockets form in the colon and become inflamed or infected, can also lead to fistulas. Fistulas can occur during a difficult or complicated childbirth. Fistulas between the rectum and vagina are particularly common, but you might also develop fistulas around the outside of the anus. After childbirth, follow up regularly with your OB-GYN to make sure any injuries associated with the delivery process are healing up properly. Call your OB-GYN right away if you have recently given birth and are experiencing any symptoms of an infection or fistula, such as fever, pain, or bad-smelling discharge. Any kind of injury to your bowels or pelvic region can put you at risk of developing a fistula. This type of injury may result from trauma (for example, an injury caused by a car accident) or from a complicated pelvic surgery (such as a hysterectomy). You can also develop fistulas as a result of infection, cancer, or radiation therapy that affects your pelvis.  Injuries due to radiation therapy may take a long time to develop. If you've had pelvic radiation treatment, you may develop a fistula 6 months to 2 years later. Some types of sexually transmitted infections, such as chlamydia and HIV, may put you at greater risk of developing a fistula.

SUMMARY: Determine if you have an inflammatory bowel condition. Look at your childbirth history, if applicable. Examine any history of pelvic injury or infection.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Don't break right out into the "I love you"s and don't talk about the future you want the two of you to have. You want to avoid speaking in definite terms about the future because this creates a lot of pressure and expectations for him...which is stressful and can scare him away! Instead, speak in terms of what you want to try or what you hope might become real eventually. "I hope we can try being more than friends,", etc. Don't be creepy when you tell him how you feel. This means no begging, no bargaining, and try not to touch him or get into his personal space until you know he feels the same way. You also shouldn't cling around him if he needs time to think about what you said. If you can, tell him how you feel in person. Using social media or a text can come across as not being very serious or, worse, being a joke. This is not how you want to start things with him. You don't want to rush into telling him and if he returns your feelings, don't rush into a serious relationship. If you're going to go through the torture of confessing, you want to be sure that you really like him first, right? This is can be a long process and one that will continue even if you start dating. Just focus on getting to know him for who he really is, by spending time with him and talking about things that are important to you: what you both want for the future, what your beliefs are, and what you like to do for fun.

SUMMARY:
Don't pressure him. Don't be creepy. Don't use social media or a phone. Don't rush into things.
