Health - 11 October 2006

Ok this is going to sound weird but when I lay on my back at night, a lot of times I will wake up and the top portion of my left thigh will be numb. It doesn't hurt, and as soon as I change positions it goes away. I had surgery on my left knee back in 2002 and had a baby in 2003. It was right around there that it started. Also, 7 weeks ago I was diagnosed with sciatica. Is it possible it is related to the sciatica, or could it be a pinched nerve? Tell me what you think.

My doctor just prescribed some Xanax for me due to the fact that my 3 year old daughter was recently molested. I haven't ever taken anything like this and was wondering what to expect. Will it make me sleepy? Should I take it before bed or in the a.m.? Is it addictive? Thanks!

I saw a television show where a guy got his blood tested for toxins. He had several different toxic chemicals in his system including a very toxic chemical that is used in non-stick cook ware. The man admitted using non-stick cookware regularly. Apparently this cookware is dangerous to the human body. I can't remember what other toxins where in his body. I want this test.

Do you have or do you know anyone with this same diagnosis and what has their experience been since starting the medication? How quick did the symptoms ease up and how easy/hard was the weight loss afterwards?

What if it's a girl who is really mean to you. Can you do it? There are girls that kick boy's crotches, so why can't boys kick girls?

If you have any sites on kicking girls in crotches information, please post.

Well I noticed a bump on my finger 3 days ago and it keeps getting gradually bigger. I think it is a bee sting since I swatted down a bee but I felt no sting but there is a small black thing in the center. Possible stinger?

I know this teenages (18) who lives in korea and i have been talking to him for a while..He mentioned to me that he has a mental illness ( or an illness that effects him mentally). He said that the illness causes him to pay attantion to things we usually wouldn’t pay any attantion too...for example when we breathe...we breathe without thinking about it...but he cant do that...he said that he needs to recognize when to take a breathe and when to release it...he said he is having a problem with his every action in a mental way.
If anyone can help this would be greatly appreciatd as i want to help him very much...if you have any ideas or any way to help please give me some information or tell me what you know or think the problem may be...
Thankyou very much

my tooth started hurting about a month ago and i'm not sure it is abscess. Had a root canal 20yrs ago on that tooth. i thought the aching was a side effect of cholesterol meds however, those were stopped over a month ago and the pain in my jaw and arms has worsened. Can the infection from an abscess effect that much of my body?

I've heard that it helps for mild depression and anxiety. Why? What is in it that makes it work and how? Has it worked for any of you? I suffer from mild depression, not enough to see a doctor about for a prescription, but just enough that I feel a little blue most days for no apparent reason...

Ok, I will admit to the fact that I do get set off pretty easily. Small things can make me mad and I either ignore whatever made me mad or I go off. I have thoughts about sucide sometimes when I am angry but dont go through with them. My bfs sister thinks that I should get tested for bipolar but i dont think i should because no one in my family has ever been diagnosed with it. My grandma whom I live with doesnt think I am. A few others who are friends with me think I am as well. I dont know what to think. I am already taking pain pills for my back and birth control pills which I hate SOO much I could throw them away. So what do you all think...should I get tested? People say things could get worse but I dont think i am bipolar.

I have a migraine as I type. I have so many different types of pain relievers I don't know what to use--- and I'm worried about just taking a vicodin and it not going away-- (or that a vicodin is too much for a headache like mine). I'm not even sure it's a migraine... because I'm not nauseated and I don't think I'm sensitive to lights... but it hurts so bad it's all I can think about and all I can do not to cry. What should I take? Are there any remedies and how long will it take to go away? (the last part isn't important, really...)
