Health - 1 March 2007

I am a 40somthing geek with severe insomnia. No prescriptions or over-the-counter sleep pills work. So, now I have found marijuana and I sleep like a baby. Since I am new to this, the pot comes in 1oz bags and it is dried and pressed, is this normal? Leaves, stems, buds, seeds and all are included (but very few stems). This isn't hash is it? ALSO, smoking it is really really hard on this non-smoker so does anyone know of a really good recipe for pot that I could consume (eat instead of smoke) and still get the strong effect for sleeping? I don't do anyother drugs - legal or illegal. I just want this so I can sleep and relax. Thank you so much for your help! It is truly appreciated. PS A recipe you have *personally* used/baked/tasted would be appreciated. Thanks a million! Cindy

What kind of adjustment is the best? Have you heard of or have you had success with the "adjustment gun?"

I'm 26 wks pregnant and experiencing pain through my upper back and shoulder. I had a chiropractic "adjustment" with the gun thing... It didn't hurt, and I could had swore that the relief was instant, but I'm just curious if it really did anything.

Any experiences? Thank you!

The headache begins with "sparkles" and then turns into a headache. Not really a "migrane" category of pain---but the sparkles are the same. I have had true migranes a few times--maybe once a year or so. The only change I have had is that I have given up chocolate since Lent---

i am bi polar and lately my mood swings have been very severe. I don't have health insurance and simply cannot afford to pay for the medications that i need each month. I've tried changing my diet, and excericise regularly because i heard that can help, but it just hasn't been helping. My highs and lows are so bad i'm afraid of what i may be capable of doing to myself. Some of the time i feel great! And am happy to be alive, but when i get those lows i don't feel like doing anything but laying in bed. What can i do??? I can't go on like this anymore. It doesn't even take that much to get me in a mood, it just happens. Help me please?

I have been taking it for three months now. After about three weeks I started to feel good, but now, I am starting to feel tired again and I am starting to feel depressed. I did not have depression before. Could this be caused by the medication?

Hey guys
I really want to get my teeth whitened but don't want to get ripped off! Is it best to go to the dentist or do home kits work just as effectively? What is a decent price to pay? Any advice would be gratefully appreciated!

Alright, so I'm a little confused. I ate a 260 calorie breakfast, then I burned off 510 calories at the gym with cardio, and did 20 minutes of strength training. so I was at -350 calories. Then I had another 260 calorie meal, and I'm at -90 calories. And I've got hockey in a few hours. So does that mean I have no calories in my body at the moment? And a 90 calorie defecit?

Oh, I don't know if this helps, but i'm 18, 5'4, and 145 lbs and have a high activity level (hockey 6 times a week and gym inbetween)


(I know, I know, I should be eating way more calories, I was told I should be having 2500 cuz of my activity level to start with)

im 18 & sr in hs & have 2 months left, but now i have nothing but regrets. I had a very good childhood, all the way up thru 8th grade when things looked promising w/ being very popular & smart & all (now that i look back). However, once in hs i got upset at people (mainly girls) for going for upperclassman & trying to be someone else, to the point where i ended up separating myself from many, including friends of a girl i liked but didnt like me, which lasted 2 yrs. also, i always loved basketball & baseball, but i got so fed up w/ politics that after getting cut soph yr, i gave up when i could have been baseball manager & now be on vars (but didnt). i feel i ran from those problems, trying to find meaning in other things in life & just isolated myself. now, i dont even know why i let basketball affect me (i wasnt that good) but had a good jr yr, & looked good again into sr yr, but after 3 jv soccer yrs, i had to miss tryouts, didnt make vars, & thus only (more below)

I am trying to lose weight -- I have been exercising regularly (about 4-5 times/week), watching what I eat, and the scale is going in the eintirely WRONG direction. I have no idea what is wrong. I had my thyroid tested this summer, and it was normal. I know 100% for a fact that I am not pregnant (I'm a virgin). Maybe some of it is muscle (like a pound or two), but I haven't been getting any "smaller", and it's just nearly impossible for a female to gain almost 20 pounds in 2 weeks of muscle. Water retention is possible, but 20 pounds -- that keeps increasing by the day for two weeks????? If it is water rentention, it's not "normal" water retention. I know I haven't consumed enough calories most days to even maintain my weight, let alone gain that that much!!! Any ideas? Suggestions???? I am at a loss. Please help!
