I've seen the infomercial. It looks like it could work. But it's an infomercial. And how about the guy who's doing so well his teenage daughter has to read his statement for him on camera?

I am currently 18 years old, and I am prescribed 80mg Oxycontin tablets. I am to take 1 at 12 am, and 1 at 12pm, this is 160mgs of Oxycodone daily, an extremely LARGE dosage. I take them for a powdered wrist, which resulted from a machinery incident, which means all the bone in my wrist was completely turned to powder. I don't want to take all this medicine, but as you're all probrably aware the pain will make me literally blackout if I don't take medication, and even ON medication it's barely tolerable. Please help!?!

I have been increasingly working longer days. I work from home - at my computer. I have realized that lately I have been having trouble sleeping. I have been under a lot of stress - as I said in another question earlier, I have quit smoking this week (well, for 4 days and restarted yesterday, but it was hell for the first part of the week), I haven't left my house since Sunday, and I have been working 11 - 14 work days - with no break (seriously) for about 2 weeks now.

I used to go to bed at about 11 pm - it is 3:20 am and I am wired and tired at the same time and can't sleep. Yesterday it was 2:30 am and the day before like 1:30 am. I am noticing I am getting progressively less and less sleep - and I wake up around 8 am in the morning.

Is there anything I can do about this? I have tried meditation, muscle relaxers, managing my eating, laying down with the lights off.

What is wrong with me?

So many questions, not many answers.

Well, my mum saw on my back today that I have this red mark (about two cm long) that isnt normally there.

I'm wondering because two days ago I went sailing with a few mates and because of recent storms we had bluebottles where we were. Five of my friends were stung.

I'm wondering if this could be a blue bottle sting? Would you able to feel it on your back?

If it's not, do you have any more suggestions on what else it might be?

I took a drug test by myself before my actual employment drug test and have a quesiton on how the results should look like. The first time i took it after smoking weed showed only 1 line. after i took the detox the second line appeared but wasnt as solid as the first. you could still see the line but it was more light than the other line. Does that mean i failed the test and tested positive for thc or is it okay and i passed and was negativefor thc?

With the shortage of hospital beds they have started doing overflow patients into the hallways of the floors until a room becomes open, sometimes for over 24 hours. How is this working out for anybody?
