Health - 25 February 2007

No matter how much energy I spend during the day, no matter if I didn't drink caffiene, sometimes I just can't fall asleep. One time, I was awake for over 24 hours and I felt so tired and so depleted, but when I lay down to sleep, I woke up 3 hours later and rolled around in bed uncomfortably until I finally fell asleep after another 3 hours. What's up with that???? Does anyone have any natural remedies that might help? Please no sleeping pills or meds.

MY friends gf contracted hpv. she immediately went for treatment and stuff and also got checked for other potential stds(she got a clean bill on that). am afraid for him because they want to resume relations. i don't know about hpv, but is he gonna be safe once they engage sexually? could someone with info on hpv throw some light on it. do men get infected and how does it affect them. how will it affect her child bearing in future. i hv heard it's not treatable. is this true?

Okay- please no mean answers here...
I need to lose weight, but try as I may, I cant seem to drop any- I'm a man in my late 30s- but back in my 20s, I could lose weight with ease, but now its so bloody hard, my metabolism seems to have slowed down.

I'm 6'3- my ideal weight, with my height and frame is around 220- I look at my best in the 210 range- I have gotten down to 179 when I was an avid runner- but was told I looked emaciated at that weight....
I'm currently 280- with a linebacker builld. Im active, I walk everywhere- I want to lose 60 pounds. If I can get down to 220, ill be happy.My weight seems stuck on 280- Ive biked daily, walked over a mile a day- but no weight loss- or gain.

To anyone here who has shed at least 60 pounds- what exercises were the most effective? I dont want to resume running until I lose at least 30 pounds, lest i blow out my knees...

Please refrain from fat jokes or insults if you aswnser....

I have asthma and am allergic to ciagarette smoke. I live in an apartment complex and the family that moved in next to me smokes in their home (regardless of the fact that they have three small children). Since our ovens share a wall the smoke gets into my apartmet, which causes me to have frequent asthma attacks. I've talked to the landlord and she told me to get air fresheners. Do I have any rights to a healthy living environment? What can I do about this?

I have a friend that just got his gallbladder removed thursday. Its four days later and he is feeling an awful amount of pain. He says it hurts on a scale of 1-10 a 10..Mostly in the abdominal area. The incision at the belly button is red and swollen. He does not appear yellow but seems to be getting worse overall. The darvacett only lasts 4 hrs and he has started bleeding from his nose. What could be wrong?

I find that I'm not quite in contact with reality all the time, nowadays. It seems that none of the things that should really matter to me nowadays really stir too much of an emotional response. For example, I helped with a large project a couple of months ago which helped improve funding for our school, and have been getting compliments for my work, but the fact that I have helped and made a difference doesn't quite register with me. Also, I'm graduating this year, but even that fact hasn't settled in, yet. It's almost as if I'm wandering down a timeline, unfeeling, and I just want to actually be /affected/ by something. I want to /feel/ more, in life, rather than let everything pass me by, numb. Any suggestions?

I just haven't been feeling hungry lately... I've barely eaten anything all day and it's not bothering me. Does that make me anorexic? I'm not trying to get skinny or anything, I just don't feel like eating.

I have been getting these weird 'brain shocks' that last for a couple seconds, that feel like my brain was zapped. Then all of a sudden, I put on a large amount of weight in a short time, and even through exercise and eating right, I didn't lose anything. (Mind you, i'm 18) Even more recently, my brain seems to be shot. I can't remember ANYTHING, and I have been losing certain words, or trying to call something-something else. And I have been getting about 2 migraines a week. (Not caffeine withdrawals.)Also, I have been strangely exhausted. I can understand that I will be on days I work hard, but sometimes I will take a 5 hour nap, get up for 2-3 hours, then go to bed and sleep for7-8. And now, over the past week, my lower back has been hurting, stemming from my low left side, then spreading across. Starting yesterday, my joints and bones have been aching like crazy, and sometimes I feel like I can't move because they hurt so bad! Now, Random muscles feel like they're bruised.

Help?

It's black and looks and feels like scabs on his chin, but its not blood. It was on his face by his lips, but I put peroxcide on it, and his hair came off, but the stuff went away. (I am now doing the same to his chin) but its worse, and I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of what it is. He is not in pain, except when I clean it, otherwise he seems fine. (no one who lives in the house has ever caught it, so it doesnt appear to be contagious.)
Thanks!
