I don't mean sleeping in all of the time. Can sleeping in once a week or so be beneficial to you? What happens if you never "catch up" on sleep?

I got my wisdom teeth removed almost two weeks ago. My two bottom ones were bony impacted, meaning they were sideways and encased by jaw bone. Apparently the doctor had to cut through the bone to break the tooth and take it out piece by piece. Anyway, the wounds have since healed, but now I am feeling a tightness in my mouth, mostly on the lower part of the inside of my cheek running all the way down to my lower jaw. The site of the wisdom tooth extraction is also still a bit swollen and sore when I press on the outside of my cheek or when my toothbrush accidentally jabs the area. Is this normal for two weeks post-surgery?

Sometimes when I get mad, I start shaking. I've never been in a fight, so I don't know if it's nerves or what. I get really nervous when someone confronts me. Is this normal? I really need some advice. I feel that because of this I've kind of become a doormat for people. How do you overcome this?

My brothers wife is a control freak. She is making my brother miserable. It's affecting their young children. She gets mad at him for not doing enough around the house but when he offers to do things she says he can't because he does them wrong. She sleeps in every weekend and he gets up at 6am with the kids. He's not allowed to take them 1 block away to the park while she sleep because she doesn't want to be left out so they have to wait until she gets up. She won't let him have friends over. She checks the messages at the house and doesn't tell him if he gets calls. After the kids are in bed she makes him feel guilty if he wants to go for a run. She complains that she wishes she could go but she has to fold laundry. He offers to fold the laundry but she says he doesn't do it right. When we are all together at my folks for holidays. My brother and I like to run. We only go about 30min but he has to take his cell. If she needed help there's 5 other people in the house. Is she ill? Help

A friend of mine asked me this and got me thinking? I don't know. Do they serve a purpose? I personally think men would look funny without them, but maybe that's just because I'm accustomed to them being there. What do you think?

Its been 4 years since ive used ecstasy, methamphetamines, and Lsd i used to do all three heavily and sometimes two or more of them at once add chronic alcohol and marijuana use. I did this all throughout highschool until i was 21. im 24 now and i quit ALL drugs and am somehow trying to slip back into normal life as if nothing ever happend as you would expect its been about 4 years and im not progressing im majorly depressed, and close to delusional and in heavy denial. Ive been living my life as if everything is ok and i fear that the truth is the only thing that may be left. it is possible that i may be close to braindead. Is this true? how would i know.. its been 4 years since i quit and i dont see any positive results...I dont think my Doctors understand. Does this type of thing happen to heavy drug users? can anyone relate.

OK, I am 23, never been to a gyno, never had a pap test done, never had an exam on my vagina or any of my womanly organs....if i am not sexually active and still a virgin is it something that i really need to have done right now. I am absolutely terrified of it and the thought of that area being examined and something getting stuck up me honeslty makes me want to faint. What do doctors do if their patient is nervous while getting a pap done? can they give u anasthesia and put u to sleep? lol i cant even get a tampon inside me, what the heck does the doctor think shes gonna be able to do.../

I posted this question on respiratory diseases but didn't get any response so I will try on here....My grandmother is 77 years old and on dialysis. She was just taken to the hospital last night/this morning with pneumonia and this question might not come out the way I mean it, but what are her chances of recovering from it? I love her to death, she's the only grandparent I have left, but I know that pneumonia is serious for anyone, wether you are 12 years old or 80 years old, and I just want to know with her other health condition (dialysis) exactly what may happen. I know she is also having a problem with the graph in her arm that they use to deliever her dialysis medicine as well. Anyone, maybe with experience, able to give me some information on what to expect?

So they were feeling fine yesterday and the day before... I had my wisdom teeth removed on the other side of my mouth so I've been using my right molars to chew since Friday. They were giving me no problems until earlier today when I was eating a hot quesadilla... suddenly one of my molars felt a little bit sensitive. Nothing OW but it was feeling a bit sensitive. Right afterwards I drank some cold water (not ICE cold but from the fridge) and my teeth felt sort of sensitive to that too.

So could it be my fillings are making my teeth feel sensitive, even though it wasn't a deep cavity at all? And why 3 days after having them filled would they bother me? I did eat a few tangerines today--could the acidity be linked? Hairline crack in my molar (dentist didn't say anything about hairline cracks but then again, he wasn't looking for any)? My teeth were filled with that white filling, not the metal kind.

My boyfriend has a Brain Tumor ... .. The MRI's say that it is growing ... he is having more and more seizures .. he is losing more and more of the use of his right side now .. his headaches are getting worse ... My question is ... Ive seen people with cancer and as it progresses they seem to lose alot of weight ... they start looking sick ... My boyfriend isnt losing any weight ... he looks pretty good infact ... does a brain tumor react the same way other cancers do ? does the person lose alot of weight ? or with a brain tumor does the person seem ok and then one day just pass over ... I guess im just hoping that he still has alot of time left ... what im afraid of is he might not .... the tumor is growing pretty fast now .. its a grade 3 ....

I'm feeling crazy right now. I need to figure out what's wrong with me. I feel depressed. I feel like I have some mental condition, but maybe I don't and Im telling myself that to give myself an excuse for how crappy I am.

I was talking with my mom and she asked me why I don't hang out with anyone. She suggested that I don't feel like I fit in. Which is totally right, but it shouldn't be. I look normal, if not attractive. In fact I see girls checking me out a lot. But I don't feel normal and sometimes when I look into the mirror it's as if that person isn't really me, or im not good enough to be that person. I wonder why anyone really likes me because I see nothing in me.

Maybe I really am depressed. Maybe I just want attention. I really don't know. I shouldn't have any reason for being depressed. I only have one more day of school and then I have a big thanksgiving break. I should be feeling happy.

OK, last week my little girl started telling me that her "private" itches so I give her a bath and it was a little red but I thought that it might be from running and playing or maybe she wasn't washibg her self very good so when she took a bath I made sure that she cleaned her self really well. Ok. Friday I notice that mine look like her's and it itches. So I thought it could be the laundry detergant but I have been using that same laundry detergant for a while now and we never has any problems. So i bought new laundry detergant today and I have rewashed all of mine and her underwear in this new detergant. So I guess what I am wondering is has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know what could be that problem so that I am fix it? Or do you think that I need to go see a doctor?
