Health - 22 April 2007

1) not going to sleep until the next night- and only sleeping the regular amount of time (like 8 hours)
OR
2) taking a nap when you can (during the day after the all-nighter) and then sleeping at your regular bed time
OR
3) sleeping two nights worth of sleep in one setting

basically i want to know if i need to recover from missing a night of sleep and if just one 8 hour sleep session at the regular time is enough or do I need extra sleep to compensate for the missed hours?

I had a "cervical cyst" removed Wednesday and when I talked to my doctor Thursday he said it wasn't a cyst and I won't find out what it is until I go for my 4 week follow up appointment.(I knew it wasn't a cyst but he wouldn't listen...)He sent it to pathology so they can do a biopsy or whatever but now I am wondering what it is that they removed.It was a large round shaped mass on the side of my vaginal wall.Probably about the size of a jawbreaker(candy). There was no fluid in it,it was basically a solid,just squooshy.I tried to look it up but all that comes up is endometrial,cervical,ovarian and uteran cancer.He also did a laparoscopy and a D&C and said there were no signs of endo so we still do not know why I had chronic pelvic pain and irregular bleeding(every 2 weeks w/o birth control).Besides cancer,does anyone have any idea of what this "thing" could have been that they removed?Anyone with some words of help will be appreciated.(I can be quite a worry wort.)Thanks!

My skin gets really irritated after shaving and so I don't do it very often. I was thinking that maybe I can use an epilator instead of a razor. How about it?

I have a neighbor that burns garbage. The leftover food kind and he also throws dog crap (yes, dog pooh) in the burn pile as well. He then poors gas to get it going. There usually isn't much flame, just hours and hours of smoldering smoke that blows right in my house. I cannot fully describe to you the disgusting and nausiating smell that permeates my home.

I have been trying to get my town to do something about it since there is an ordinance against burning trash (we are allowed to burn wood). However, in the meantime, is burning such nastiness a health hazard for me?

I believe she has pulled something in her shoulder blade area. I read the warnings/instructions on the tube and it says nothing about age. It does say not to use or contact a doctor before using on children with arthritis.

Hi All,

I want to gain weight, but I'm an ectomorph (super-fast metabolism). I was wondering if there's any way of slowing the metabolism down. I know there's lots of ways supplements that speed it up, so I'm guessing there's a way of slowing it down?

I read about creatine monohydrate that apparently increases the size of the muscles by adding more fluid to them, they go back to normal size after a while but you can lift more weight during this period.

Any suggestions? Thanks heaps

I was born with club feet. I'm 46, so this was before surgery was common for correcting this deformity. Casting was used and my left foot appears normal. My right foot is fairly straight, but I tends to wear out the right shoe quickly. What is the best brand as far as comfort AND durability for someone with a slightly crooked foot, big ankle, and a foot that just isn't normal?

Thanks!

Every time I begin excercising, especially when lifting weights, I start yawning. It persists nearly the whole time I am working out. I am a 53-yr. old female, but it seems that it has always happened.

I had this kinda big redish pimple on my nose 2 months ago, i didn't touch it, and little by little it started going away but, some of it is still there.
anyhow, i tried to pop it with my nails/ some nail clippers and some of the pimples skin came of, and it started to bleed a little bit.

Anyway, i was doing this for 2 weeks, and i think its getting smaller but then the next day it looks big.
I also tried to use this clearasil cream, that helped a tad but not thoroghly.
Also like to mention, that i'm kinda over-weight and don't do that much exercise, and i do eat some outside food like 2-3 days in a week.

Does nebody know what i can do to remove this pimple?

Three years ago after i was cheated on by the father of my child I became suicidal. I have always suffered with depression and I voluntarily checked into a mental health unit for 12 weeks to be assessed. I was diagnosed with an adjustment disorder leading to a nervous breakdown. Has this happened to anyone else? What led up to it and did anyone ever give you advice about coping with it?

this question is for people who hated their very obivious facial mole/birthmark/similar thing, as a teen

Did you learn to love it as you get older

I have a very obvisous mole right above my top lip, and right now I hate it. do you think I should get rid of it or can I learn to like it.

I'm going to buy a home scale to monitor myself but I'd like to ask exercisers and weight watchers, do you weigh yourself in the morning or in the evening to get the more accurate weight on a personal scale at home?
