A friend of mine has insomnia. She's tried almost everything. Sleeping in different directions, different rooms, on different surfaces. With music/tv, without it. She's even tried feng shui, and yoga before to relax.

She may 'drift'. By 'drift' I mean her eyes close and she 'floats toward sleep' but never seems to make it to REM where the resting begins.

As an ex-pill popper, she's scared of becoming hooked again and simply refuses to go the medication route. Does anyone have an inside tip or two she can try?

Thank you all in advance.

Should the pain go away after the infection is completely gone? Is 2 days long enough to see a dramatic difference?

Do you think that I weigh too much? I play club Volleyball up to 4 times a week, and I don't pig out or anything.

My daughter has really bad allergies and is on Singulair and Zyrtec all the time. She is only five years old. For several weeks, we have noticed that she was not hearing as well as she used to. We scheduled a hearing test. She has some hearing loss (temporary) because the allergies have caused fluid to collect behind her eardrums. The doctor gave us samples of Nasonex to try for 3 weeks. He is hoping this will dry up the fluid. If it works, I guess we have another med to do every night. If it does not work, he is suggesting tubes to drain the fluid and restore hearing. He is also going to draw blood for allergy testing.

Has anyone else had expereinced this before? I had heard that sometimes tubes could cause fluid to back up. I don't want to do something that will cause further problems down the road. She has never had tubes before.

I am 14 and this is something that has been bugging me for a long time. People constantly tell me that I'm "unhealthily skinny" or some variation, and I've heard that most guys like voluptuous girls, not skinny girls. Here are 3 pictures of my legs (from different angles):

Girls- Would you like to have legs like mine, or are they too skinny?

Guys- Would you go for a girl with legs as skinny as mine, or do you prefer curvy and voluptuous girls?

Also, I always get accused of being anorexic, while I actually want to GAIN weight. Even though I never eat junk or fast food, I eat a TON, and I do weight training, and it doesn't work. I'm also a model but I've heard that guys don't like models. Is that true?

5 stages for real? Can a person go thru all or 0? I'm numb most of the time & still can't believe it happened, do I need meds? Feeling guilt or thinking it strange 2 have fun & laugh which I do or doing normal things (& moving on but not getting over it)? At times feeling sickened by this & thinking how much more (death/suffering) of this do I have to go thru? The last passing was my mother just before Christmas. Before that my stillborn child. Not in the best marriage & had traumatic things happen in past. Got over my grandma years before this (took 7 yrs), will I completely get over this or always grieve? Does acceptance stage last forever or does it mean you are over it? Feel like almost don't care about anything right now (can change soon to other). Trying 2 take good care of self, but that's about it. Nothing seems very important 2 me in this numb state-still shock? Fluctuating mood. Feels like there's no one 2 talk 2 (or I would be there). How 2 handle angry bro with issues?

My boyfriends keeps making hints that he wants to have anal sex. I am completely repulsed by the idea. I tell him no gently but the issue always resurfaces. Why does he want to do this? What is so great about it? What should i do? Give in and just honor his wishes you know take one for the team?
