I woke up with a bad headache this morning (something I never do usually) I went to the gym last night and dont think I drank enough water, after drinking a couple of big glasses this morning and a couple of pills I was fine. how much water should I be drinking during a 45 minute gym work out to stop myself from dehydrating?

Lately he's been hearing things and seeing things that aren't really there and he'd freak out.

Also he's been yelling and screaming at "God" and "spirits" all night or all day.

What does he have?

ok, my period used to be irregular, but for the last 5 or 6 months it started around the 10th day of every month.. i had my regular period around the 10th of january, and now for some reason i'm starting to bleed again, though at first its a little pink but then it gets brown.. i dont know if its my period just being irregular, or something else.. i dont think it would be spotting because its not light bleeding or anything.. it seems like the start of a normal period but its brown and pink i dont know what this is, has this happened to anyone else before?

Anyone out there who has endo + is in MEGA pain 90% of the month will understand this.I am being put on different medication every couple of months + having side affects to them and then taking more medication for the side affects.u go in to the doctors + say you need stronger pain killers + they ask u to lay on the bed while they poke at your abdominal area.Where it hurts anyway + they make it worse.They give u pain killers + send u packing.These pain killers more aless knock u out + then u have to go to work.A full time job that u need to pay ur bills.Then u walk in + ur employer says u look ill but they wont let u go home cause u have already had previous days off due to being so tired.u sit at ur desk in pain + some how manage to get through the day.Its home time u get home it takes double the time to get home due to pain or being drugged up + then u are to tired to eat or do anything + then just sleep.does any1 know of a endo specialist in the SE.

I have back pain fairly often, but I can bend over backwards and usually get about 4 or 5 cracks out of back and then it feels better. Am I playing the role of my own chiropractor or am I setting myself up for serious back pain in the future (I'm 21 years old now).

I've been suffering from anxiety, and some irritability and wanted to know if I should ask my doctor for a zanax prescription....?
Any advice?
I defenetely do not want to go to a therapist.... I've talked to psychologists and that doesn't help.
Anything better than zanax without all the side effects that you may reccomend?

Any other advice?

Thanks to everyone-

How can I get motivated. I know I have a lot of stress and have reason to be "tired" all the time. I have a out of control 18 year old son - and two other teenagers who are really good kids. I don't receive child support - but have a good job. I'm filing bankruptcy - but see it as a new beginning. But - all I want to do is sleep every chance I can - immediately after work and all weekend. My house is a mess - and it's never been like this. I can't believe I'm living in a mess like this. It almost seems overwhelming - my kids do help some - but I need to get motivated. I am taking Cymbalt for depression - but doesn't seem to be help.

HELP - I've got to get out of this bad habit of being lazy. Any suggestions?

I started new birth control in December and everything has been going well. Its a 21 day pack and I usually start my period on the Wednesday after the Saturday that I take the last pill. I should have started yesterday but I didn't.
I haven't had sex since October 2006 (yeah, a really long time ago!) and my period has been regular since then. Should I go see my doctor or am I just being a little worried over nothing?
I haven't had anything "weird" happening. I have had some light cramping but thats it. . .

I suffer from severe anxiety and depression. I have gone to the doctors and been put on every medicine known to man and nothing helps. One made me high as a kite which I did like but I couldn't feel (like laughing, crying at appropiate times) another made me think of every way of killing myself. I would like to do an alternative route. I'm done trying drugs-I'm never been one to be a pill popper and go to my doc's all the time. I feel as if I see my doctor more than my family-he's always switching my meds b/c I get negative side effects and then told me well maybe you are the type that won't benefit from meds? Then what do I do-he couldn't answer. I have found out my source of stress and I realize I need something! Anyone out there know of a herbal route I can take?

I saw on tv that a good way to brighten your teeth is to mix these two and keep in your mouth for about 10 minutes. I'm wondering if it works or if it can harm in any way.

My boyfriend quit smoking a year ago, the anniversary of the exact day he had his last cigarette is coming up, it’s a big achievement b/c he smoked for 10 years straight & quit cold turkey! Anyway I want to do something special for him for that day & let him know that I remember, he always said my support & positive attitude has helped him thru this, the only thing is we just moved into our new place 2 weeks ago, so I'm low on cash for other expenses -- any good, creative, cute ideas of what to do for that special day?? Thank you in advance! =)

Is it normal to be scared to have kids? To me childbirth looks like it will hurt so much, no matter how much medication they put on you. BUT I DO wanna have kids so bad. Me and my boyfriend talk about it a lot and I want it to happen...its just...I'm scared it'll hurt. And the fact that I know some women have died during childbirth. So my stress levels are way up!
Maybe in time as I grow older it'll fade away, but right now I say "fat chance!" I'm freakin out.

I'm so nervous that I have it, but I don't have all the symptoms. I have a fever and a terrible headache (however, I get headaches very often, so this isn't something new), and my neck is a little stiff but just barely. I can turn it fine. When I touch my chin to my chest, my upper back hurts a little, but not my neck. I'm not vomiting though, and light isn't bothering me. I've tried checking for a rash and I don't have one as far as I can tell. I went to the doctors yesterday and he checked my eyes and made me move my neck, and said it's a flu-type virus. But I'm still nervous about having it. Any input?
