Assuming no instance of severe sleep apnea (they could awake several times if this were the case), can I assume that they will enter REM sleep about 90 minutes following the first signs of snoring?

Do women rather have one longer and not as thick or is this O K. I've never had sex and hear men talking about 9 and 10 inches or more. It stays hard most of the time so I do masturbate a lot some days 3 or 4 times at least.

My sister has been fighting a C-dif infection for nearly six months now. She's been on all recommended anti-biotics and they have made her so sick that it's not possible for her to take them. At one point she got some sort of odd "roving" form of the infection that hit her joints one at a time, leaving her unable to walk on her own. VERY FRIGHTENING!

She's seeing a specialist who has told her if she still has it in a year, he will do something drastic. But at only 108 pounds, with continual diarrhea and unable to eat normally (or often, at all) I think it needs to be taken care of before then. She's really frustrated, since her quality of life has taken a dive...no trips, no fun, no NOTHING because visits to the bathroom and pain from this illness have taken over. Help! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The top tooth was impacted, and stopped hurting roughly three days after being pulled. The bottom tooth was slanted, and pulled out, and bothered me five days after the surgery. I started rinsing with salt water four days after surgery. Today I think I may have dislodged it, but can not see well enough back there to confirm, nor am I in an pain, or is there bleeding.

I've just been to Greece and my two children and our friend's son all managed to pick up an ear infection. There were a number of children walking around our hotel grounds and pool area with cotton wool in their ears ie they also had ear infections.

Did my kids pick up an infection from being in the pool? Was it directly from unclean water or did water get lodged in their ears and this caused the infection? Could the fact that other children had ear infections and were in the water that my children caught it this way?

Some students compete in order to get laid. I don't think that's OK. Are all students like that??

Alright. I just started to have these sudden frequent urges to pee, and when I pee, I feel fine, but when I stop peeing I get a pain/burning/uncomfortable sensation down there. It's confusing becuase I've never had anything like this happen before, and I'm going to the doctor, but I'd like to have an idea BEFORE I go there. Anyone had that problem before???? This is more of a question for the ladies...sorry guys.

While on my period, I'm passing these bloody clot-looking things a lot. My flow is very heavy and I have some intense cramps. I've been having this "issue" for about 6 months now. I just turned 31 a few months back so I don't think age is a factor. I'm too embarrassed to ask any of my friends of doctor.

Input is much appreciated. :)

I have had a problem with psoriasis for 5 years. It is located on the base & sides of my nose and above my upper lip. I had been using my sister's corticosteriod medication, but that is no longer an option.

My main problem is the redness in this area; scaling is minimal and it doesn't itch.

I have tried vaseline, lotion, and a tar substance. The vaseline and lotion have minimal effect if any. And I have experimented with tar a couple times; each time my facial psoriasis is redder and sore. Does this mean it is working? Not working?

Is there a non-prescription treatment for my psoriasis, especially to get rid of the redness?

I have many of the side effects of steroids (which I can live with) but wonder how taking .5 cc of testosterone every 2 weeks compares with steroid use and is it detectable.
