You know that string like thing that basically holds your tongue in your mouth? Well I hate it. It gets in my way and I don't want it. I had a friend who had it done... What kind of doctor would I go see though?

I feel like I have a splinter in my thumb, but I cannot find anything and it seems to come and go. Could a pinched nerve cause my finger to feel like it has a splinter in it?

I live at home with my parents, I will be 20 in may. My boyfriend, who proposed during the christmas season, basically lives at my house. Its been like this for about a year and a half, and until recently it has been working just fine. We both love eachother very much. Because of his crazy work schedule, sometimes sleeping together is the only time we get to spend together (And i do mean litterally sleeping).

Recently though, when hes in the bed, i Can not fall asleep! I'm restless, not tired..etc.. On the nights when he has to work until 3amish and i'm in my bed alone to sleep...i'm sleeping within a half hour of laying down.

I dont understand why this is happening all of a sudden (probably since the end of January). We have not been fighting, actually - our relationship is at an all time high....going stronger than ever!

Any suggestions on how to get a better nites sleep while sharing the bed? Or suggestions on how to not be so restless?

I made the appointment last week when I was feeling terrible -- depressed and worried about my life. I'm still worried today, but it's not as bad. I have this problem whenever I make a doctor's appointment. My problem is not as bad when I go as it was when I made the appointment.

I've entered counseling once before, but I've never been to a psychologist. I want to go because I think I might have a problem that might get better with medication, but I don't want to go on any unless a professional tells me I might benefit from it.

I'm pretty nervous about the appointment. I'm not sure what to expect. I know that the first appointment will just be me talking about myself and my circumstances -- basic information so the doctor knows a little about my life. But other than that, I don't really know what I've signed up for!

I'm willing to put in the work it will take to feel better, and I hope my doctor feels the same. Does anyone have any tips or experiences to share?

For all the apple cider vinegar believers out there: wouldn't it be as beneficial just to take potassium supplements? I ask this only because in my research, I've found that the only real beneficial ingredients in apple cider vinegar is the potassium. It contains only trace amounts of other minerals, etc. I do think that this ACV fanaticism is but an anecdote. Thanks for the insight.

I went to the allergist on Thursday to get new meds because I am trying to have a baby and my regular doc said my current asthma medication was harmful to the baby and I need to try an alternative medicine. I got there at 2:45 to fill out the paperwork and was in the office by 3:20. Not bad at all! I waited about 20 minutes when the nurse came in and asked me a few preliminary questions. She said the doc would be in momentarily. The doctor came in with a lap top, he never made eye contact with me, he asked general questions regarding allergies and such, but never gave me a chance to ask my own questions. I had allergy tests done, they put dots all over your back and they didn't wash it off. At the end of the appt. The doc finally came back and rushed through the end. He gave me a few medicines & sent me on my way. I get to my car and I saw it was 5:45! A get home to try to wash off the marker marks on my back. The worst part yesterday they called me to ask me what meds they gave me!
