I am a strong person but I am not sure whether my fatigue and tearfulness is due to depression or illness. I have had two miscarriages back to back, other personal problems and work problems and family pressures. I feel fatigued from midday to exhausted at 8pm and weak and want to sleep. Been to the gp who did thyroid and full blood tests for hep c and b and the full works. all came back clear. I have a hormonal imbalance with a cyst on my ovary, but other than that, I have no explanation.

I fell over a couple of months ago messing around. Whilst sprinting I jumped up to grab a leaf off a tree and lost my footing. I now have a mark on my cheekbone - redness of the skin. I have tried BioOil and although this is working, it is taking some time to heal.

Hi. I recently came down with what I thought was a bad cold, but when it wouldn't go away I called my doctor. My regular doctor wasn't in and I saw another. He neglected to ever tell me what was actually wrong with me, simply wrote me a prescription and shoved me out the door. I was feeling so bad I didn't have to energy to stand up and ask him questions. What he prescribed me is something called Sulfa DS (that's what the Rx bottle says). I've tried looking up the name of this prescription to see what it's for, but so far I can't find it and I'm not sure what other names it might be listed under. So what exactly is Sulfa DS and what is it treating in me?

When I'm at my boyfriend's house, I'm happy, and I can also wake up after only 5 or 6 hours of sleep. When I'm at my family's house, I'm almost always unhappy, and I can sleep up to 14 hours before waking up. Is being unhappy making me sleep thing long? What can I do about it?

When I was younger (16-22) I used to smoke weed and inhaled lots of plastic smoking bucket bongs, I have heard this can make you infertile and I'm really worried about it now I'm older. I also have long testicles and have heard that this can make you less fertile, help!

This happened to me recently and I would like to know if it has happened to someone else...and what did you do about it?

I went to Busch Gardens not long ago with my diabetes supplies in a small bag (meter, glucose gel, a glucagon kit, an extra pump infusion set). As I was getting in line for a roller coaster, the person at the entrance told me I could not take my bag in line. I told him that I was a diabetic and the bag contained everything I needed in case of an insulin reaction. I told him in no uncertain terms that the bag was going with me. I was not going to wait in line for an hour, in the extreme heat, with no supplies and no water bottle. I told him I would leave the bag on the loading dock and that I was responsible for it. After much hemming and hawing, he finally let me pass. This really upset me. I needed to have those supplies with me but he couldn't have cared less.

Has this happened to anyone else?
