I haven't been sleeping very good and am considering melatonin. I was wondering if any one had a bad experience with this, like bad dreams. I used Kava Kava a long time ago and had crazy vivid dreams I could not get out of, so would not want to use it if that can happen with melatonin.

There is this pain behind my knee i've been getting the past two weeks. I thought it would go away, but I guess not. I've been trying to do some research but i couldn't find anything about the pain I was getting.

It's behind my knee, you can see it when I'm turned around. It hurts when I run or go up the stairs. When I'm walking, it's fine. It's not too painful, but it's painful enough to slow me down when I'm running. Does anyone know what this can be?

Lately I've been hearing about a new vaccine against cervical cancer (or its cause) and I wondered if anyone on here knew anything about it (e.g. how effective it is, how much it costs, which countries in the UK it's available in, etc.). I've heard that it's being offered to children but would clinics give it to adult virgins as well? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I am 60 and never had heartburn. Lately I've been getting it after eating candy with nuts or just plain nuts? Is this heartburn, or could it be the beginning of something else?

ok so i was working out for about an hour a day and eating healthy, i went from 267 to 255 in a couple months. just losing that twelve pounds really made me feel good. but i recentley stopped everything, started binging and now i'm trying to get back on the saddle. i only went up one pound since then, so i guess i didn't do that bad but i would like to start over. can someone help suggest some workouts and some good foods to eat. i love working out on a treadmill and i have free weights and a gazelle and a stability ball and some of those rubber band thingies. oh and a zillion workout tapes. so again can anyone suggest some fruits and veggies, snacks, ummm...lunches you know. what types of motivation techniques? that sounds funny cause you would think the motivation is in the looking better feeling better but i guess i need some extra push. i do not have motivation at home, my husband says he loves me the way i am and my family really doesn't want me to lose weight because they don't

Well I have been haveing diarrhea for two weeks now and before that It stopped for a day after I took imodium but before that I had it for two weeks as well.I think theres something wrong with me but Im not sure and I have always had stomach problems like constant nausea and stuff.But the diarrhea is the worst I have it all the time and when I do it lasts for a good while.
I think I have diarrhea at least 4 times out of the week on a normal schedule but lately I just cant get rid of it its lasted longer then is usually lasts.I was wondering if someone can tell me if I am just being paranoid about my stomach and if I need to see a specialist about it.

Everyday at school somebody always makes a comment on my chest even my ex-boyfriend. No matter what i wear or how i present myself it never seems to work. Whatever I saw to them to make them leave me alone they always seem to turn it around and use it againt me. Sometimes they even thrown things at my chest. Should i get a breast reduction or start slaping people.

I presently live in Maine and cannot take another winter with my arthritis. I am looking for somewhere that would be affordable, and not too humid. BIG Plus if there are mild or no winters. Any suggestions? I am disabled and cannot afford big cities, but need to be central to one.

Sometimes when led down I have had a whole body twitching experience. Well my neck, back and legs when led down. Since then it has happened maybe 10 times over 2 years. I have to physically get up and stretch to make it stop. One time it carried on so I had to move my neck around a lot to stop it. Anyone know what would cause my whole body to convulse slightly. I have never been to the doctor about it because It always stopped quickly but just wondered. Could it be something to do with my spine?Should I have gone to doctors?

Ok so I have started talking to this girl...Since we have been talking I found out that she slept with a guy last summer who apparently has just been let out of jail cause he is dying from AIDS. Admittedly she was in a bad and weak-minded state in her life or she would have never even been in that situation with him. Well she just found out about this, but she has had 3 HIV tests, the most recent being this past week and all 3 have been negative. So it has been about 9 months. My only concern is with all the questioning as to whether HIV is actually the cause of AIDS now, can you be sure that an HIV negative test assures you from contracting anything that could turn into the AIDS virus? Basically by sleeping with her is there a guarantee that a person would never contract AIDS since those HIV tests were negative?? Hmmm, what to do...
