I have been having lower back pain for some time now.My Doctor has been giving me pain medication to take when needed..Sometimes I have to take them twice a day..I am having a spinal nerve block next week. If this does relieve the pain and I no longer have to take pain medication..will I have withdrawal symptoms from the pain medication?

have a massive fear of talking on the phone. It's ok if people ring me, but i can't ring them.
I'm 22, but i last called someone whan i was 16.!
I can call parents, but that is it. WHAT DO I DO?

I experience horrid symptoms, when faced with the telephone :
Sweating
Nausea
pounding heart
And start to cry.

I'm also very shy. Haven't got any friends. Had lots in Junior school,(lost contact with them), and non in senior school.

I am very lonely, and hate being like this. But find it really hard, socializing, and meeting new people.

please don't tease me. Hate being like this.
What can i doabout it. ? Would love some advice please.

Things I've TRIED:
warm baths (w/differnt herbs & salts), hot showers, cookies & milk, great husband-given back massages, sound therapy (rain, waves, night crickets sounds), relaxing music..favorite so far is the'jelly fish music from the Monteray Bay Aquarium jellyfish exibit,; soothing- talk medatative sleep CD's; Tylenol PM (that's works..but is not a 'natural sleep). Melatonin (works but not as fast or as strong...same w/Kava Kava teas & supplements...Valerin and chamomille teas; writing lists down before bed; reading; Valium (again does work but not natural nor long lasting sleep, tried staying up until couldn't function (lasted 3 days ...became a functioning -zombie & then only slept for a few hours.

It does seem I can sleep very well the 15 to 20 mins right BEFORE my alarm goes of on my 4 early shift work days. Temp is good in the room..nice & dark..would like a new bed, but it's not bad or too old.
If there's any you've tried, that I HAVEN't, please help an Insomniac!

I was in love with this girl whom I thought was the love of my life.. but she put me through a lot of trauma and depression..most of it, I know, I brought it upon myself, but she definitely caused pain intentionally and subjected me to emotional abuse, possibly to make me stop liking her(or that's what I thought at that time)..I was angry with her but I controlled it and never said anything.. Now I think I have forgiven her.. but the thought that I never confronted and was taken for granted bothers me and I am afraid that it might affect my existing and future relationship with women-women as friends, as well as romantic relationships with women.. How do I move forward and do so without having any "unresolved issues"?

I'm 18 years old, and have had my period regularly since I began in 5th grade. Starting in September, I started bleeding on random days, and at the end of the month, I didn't get it. I haven't gotten my period since my last one in August. I haven't had sex, so I'm obviously not pregnant. Also, my doctor switched my birth controls, since i've been on the first one for about 4 years, but I still didn't get my period after I finished the pack. What are other reasons for why i've missed it for so many months?

I went to the health clinic because I was weezing when I breathed and they said I have bronchitis. One week later I had severe chest pains and back pain so bad I couldnt sleep. I went to the ER and they told me that I have enflamed muscles underneath my ribs. They also said I didnt seem to have a cold. The problem is I am now having trouble breathing again one week later and my stomache is upset. I am throwing up and coughing mucous up It has now turning up a dark green color. I also had some blood come up the other night. I cannot stop coughing and the pain in my chest and back is still there. I have been taking inflammatory med for the enflamed muscles but it doesnt seem to be working. What should I do and is my problem being overlooked?

I gained a few pounds a few years ago and it's been difficult to lose the extra pounds in my gut and upper adominals. Now that I'm getting more fit, I'm noticing loose skin in my abs area and my lower stomach. How do I tighten this up again. I was previously a high level athlete but I had one bad year of diet while working in LA and havent' been able to lose the fat.
