I was reading in a medical journal that marijuana or cannabis has shown evidence that it protects you from certain malignant brain tumors. I was wondering if they have furthered this evidence so that I can accuse the goverment of withholding a valuble cure.

I have been dealing with it for a year. It took me 5 months 2 finally find the right doctor and get help. I lost a year of college and had 2 leave b/c of my medical problems. I have been trying 2 make an effort 2 get my life back on track slowly. I moved into an apartment & found a part time job & plan on going back 2 college. My roomate knew that I had a sleeping problem b4 we moved in. I try 2 keep a constitent sleep schedule. There was no problem until my roomate got a boyfriend. They made a lot of noise @ night-blasting music & slamming doors. I talked 2 my roomate abt it & she said she would be quiet. I know my roomate has rights, but I do 2. We compromised that if he was over he'd be gone by 11:00. Well that didn't work. Now she keeps coming in around 4:00 a.m. & is really noise. I got a new job & the noise affects my sleeping. I'm thinking abt moving home & quiting. Or should I see my doctor..I don't want 2 quit-it's like I'm back 2 where i was b4 i got help-What should I do?

This pain happens when she starts to walk. This happens only in the morning, after waking up. After exhaustive exercise involving stretching up of the heels and ankles, it will go away, but will come up as usual, every morning. Any advice will be gratefully appreciated.

My gf of 10 months has ADHD. I care for her very much and want to be there for her. She is in her 4th yr of college and has at least another 2 yrs. She is a very smart person and has a ton of common sense. She has a hard time concentrating at school and has no desire to do homework, much less finish college. She has three sisters who also all have ADD. I get the feeling she doesnt have much passion for things such as school and having a job. She is very passionate about being with me, id like to see that same fire for other things too. I feel she is very irresponsible a lot of times. All her life, everything has been handed to her by people such as her parents and now me. I get frustrated when I say something about her getting a job or doing her schoolwork and she uses her ADHD as a crutch and says I just dont understand. I have searched and read about ADHD. I want to be more understanding, but at the same time, I want her to work harder and find her own way to win against ADHD.

Over the past two years I have made some extream life style changes that have greatly benefited my health and appearance. For example, my senior year of highschool - all i ate was french fries. Thats all I liked. Now? I dont even remember when the last time I ate a fry was. I'm very proud of myself for making some of the changes that I have.

However, I am still about 70lbs overweight. I want to make myself a daily list of "choices" to pick from for breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner. How it will work is - each morning, I can only eat ONE of something on the list for 'breakfast'..and then for lunch, and so on. I will circle what I am eating so that I can keep track (almost like a journal)..I will also have to pick an activity for each day.

What are some healthy food choices for these times of day (Bkfast, snack, lunch, dinner)... i'm a VERY pickey eater - i do love fruits and veggies though - however meet is NOT my friend (i eat some chicken, but not much..)..

Yesterday, I went to a lecture, and suddenly my foot started to "fall asleep" -- the tingly feeling you get when you haven't been moving enough. Because I was surrounded by people and chairs, I couldn't get up and move around, so is there a way to wake up your foot when you can't move it very much?

When you get an itch in a place like your bottom do you scratch it openly or find somewhere unoccupied to go and scratch?
If openly, do you then say something like "oooh that's better?"

I know I have at least a mild case of OCD. Or maybe a mediocre case. I display all those horrible handwashing symptoms, counting excessively symptoms, feeling that something bad will happen unless I follow a routine. I also know that all these aren't realistic, but I do it anyway, because I feel I HAVE to.

So anyway, I have another problem, and I don't know whether it's related to OCD. It tends to affect me more than the typical OCD symptoms too.

I'm schooling now, and I know that when people think they've screwed up a test, they get upset and maybe shed some tears over it. But eventually, they snap out of it. In my case, it's like I'll keep worrying about the test to no end, and then I'll find even more mistakes (which sometimes may not even have existed) and I have to keep talking myself out of this mild depressionI go into whenever I feel I've done bad on a test/ exam or just something I want. I tend to become all scared and will become all quiet and stuff.

I went to the dentist yesterday to get set up for a crown, however, could not get anything done because the anesthetics did not work... he gave me 2 blocks, 5-6 shots in the area, and even drilled into the bone and placed some there... my entire right side of my mouth got numb, however, i could still feel every move he made with the drill on the tooth. I was just wondering what could have caused that? I am not a heavy caffeine drinker, I am not anxious about the dentist... I never have had problems in the past,... the only thing different about yesterday was that I was feeling under the weather with a sore throat and sinus issues... could that have any effect on it????
