Health - 11 November 2006

We stayed in a hotel over the weekend and our mattress was really really soft and bouncy, and for the first time in about 20 years, I woke without back pain.

However, I always thought a hard mattress was best for back pain.

So which is best? hard or soft?

Can any fellow back sufferers tell me what they use?

If im supposed to have a soft one, im off out this week to sort it out!

It was so nice to wake without having to hobble around in pain for an hour, but I dont want to go and get a soft one if its actually going to do more damage.

Every year I get bad itching and thus rashes behind my knees and on my inner thighs. At night I will often have trouble breathing. The breathing trouble comes in spurts. Ie. several nights in a row, then not for a month or two. Am I going to die?

I have known people on anti-depressants. The drugs work a little, but then the people get even more screwed up and take more or other types and continue to get screwed up more. One killed herself. Is this a common problem? Why do doctors prescribe anti-depressants so frequently? Are the people I have known exceptions to the majority? Or is this a common thing?

I went to the doctors and I'm going back for a complete physical. She recommended that I get an ultrasound done, what could this be for? Is she looking for something specific, or are there many reasons why she wants me to have that done?

my boyfriend doesnt approach me as much as i need him to, i tried masterbation, it didnt work. i dont know how to get this stress and tension out without hurting him or me, i feel like am bottling up things really bad, & my self esteem is in the toilet :(
i cant approach him ,we just end up fighting & i would feel cheap after that. what do i do?
should i try to release that stress? or it will go away like a sexual cycle or ovulating or such?
