I have been unable to sleep since the birth of my third son (over 8 yrs ago) without the help of sleep aides. Most days I am fine without it, or what little I get, some days I feell like I'm dragging. I suffer from migraines, but other than that, I am in good health. I have a wonderful family, not alot of stress, a happy marriage, etc. I see no reason for this, my mind just won't shut off. Any ideas on what causes the body to do this?

I was on it a few years ago when I was 13 or 14, and now I am back on it again. (I started taking it again back in August.) I hate this med! Right now I am on 300 mg, and I would give anything to get off of it.

Even if I am a couple hours late in taking this med, I get horrible side effects. I become terribly dizzy. Whenever I move my head at an angle, no matter how small it may be, the room I'm in spins, almost as if it takes my brain a couple extra seconds to understand what I'm seeing and what is going on.

I don't think it has helped me too much. I still feel very depressed, and I still ocasionally think about suicide. I always feel so sluggish, and I rarely have any energy I have also had a lot more nightmares since I have been on Effexor, as many as three in one night.

When I miss a dose, I get incredibly sleepy. A few times after I missed a dosage, I wound up sleeping for 24 hours.

Sorry to rant, I just hate this pill so much!

I know someone who takes on an average of 4 - 6 poops a day. He says that he has done that for as long as he remembers. Is this normal or healthy? And usually it happens after he eats a meal like between 1 hour + after.

I would like to know how, in starting with one individual: to form an outreach group for those who are ill; whether mental/emotional or physical?
What ideas in terms of being able to help these people?
Any ideas (housework, counseling etc.) are welcomed!

Any organization or online forum that you know of that would be able to help me on this, as well?

As a sidenote, I reside in a small, rural community.

and breast implants?

I had kids and lost lots of weight, lots of loose skin and it doesn't look "normal" for someone who weighs 125 lbs. It looks gross.
Should I just get a tummy tuck? should I be scared?

My fiancee's tonsils swell on and off all the time, and he gets two-week-long strep throat sessions 2 or 3 times a year. When he was little, he got tonislitis 6 times in 6 months, and insurance required he get it 7 times in 6 months to qualify to get them taken out. We have no insurance right now, and they're at him again, it's driving him nuts!

Is it possible to get them done in Mexico, and how expensive is it? My grandmother gets all her dental work done in Mexico, she rents a hotel room for a couple days and brings a ton of bottled water.

Or anyone know how we can get it done cheap here in the states with no insurance?

Can habitual insomnia lead to depression? How about any other mental prblems, or are most mainly derived from life experiences? I have been diagnosed with Generalized Social Anxiety Disorder about 4 years ago and am failry sure I have depression (after a lot of reading and research) and have had depression for about as long. The quality of my sleep lately has been especially bad so I started thinking how it might affect me. For as long as I can remember, I have had a lot of trouble sleeping; some nights, no more than an hour. Is there any link between these things?

I've read some of the links people give regarding gyn exams and many of them include a rectal exam. Unless your older what purpose would it server.

Personally, I've never had one and I've had 5 paps already.

I have good job for 18 more months but the mentality of staff makes it difficult to bring results.Family status is good.family members are happy.Still i feel a sort of depressed,loss of hope for future and feel to leave the job .I will get enough pension to live with the present standard of living.Or I can help my sons (two) after my retirement, in their work abroad as they need my help.I have a happy family life anybody may envy.I believe in God but dont opt for the hypocratic prayers and other religious work where i find people just make a show and neglect the very spirit of the work.I have little interest for games or sports. though I have liking for reading novels, fictions etc.

He has nowhere to go after August 3, 2006. He has been drinking for over 30+ years. We recently sent him to rehab but because of insurance he could only stay two weeks.Two weeks cant help anyone. He started drinking within days of getting out. He can not come live with us b/c of kids. I have tried to find him a place and we know he wont pay his bills. We want to have him committed to a mental hospital but you have to get a lawyer and we dont have the money. He will not take a bath and he is very weak. He is 65 years old also. If we dont find him a place he will live in the woods and I know he wont survive in this heat. He has been homeless before. But he is also getting older. I just need to know what else to do. He wont go to a nursing home or the VA. Any suggestion? Please e-mail me or let me know! Thanks very much
