Health - 30 August 2007

My husband doesn't sleep very well at all, he will usually go to sleep alright but come three in the morning he wakes up and can't get back to sleep.
He finds that he tends to wake up with a hard which I don't know if it's because he's a light sleeper (which one doctor suggested) or because there's a problem (This will happen weather we've had sex before he goes to sleep or not so please no stupid comments). We've gone to see a few doctors and one suggested that waking up in the middle of the night is a sign of depression and suggested he try anti depressents. (We were both really surprised with this suggestion as he is a proactive person that never stops and never seems to stop thinking which I think is his biggest problem) Have you experienced a similar problem or could you suggest something to help him get a good nights sleep as this is really affecting him and in turn is making him not much fun to live with.

I'm 18 years old, and I have never been to the gynecologist. My parents never even really talked to me about sex, much less going to the gynecologist. I'm just scared, and wondering what they'll do. Especially since I tense up if anything is about to enter my vagina.

is 10gm of sugar a lot of sugar for cereal?
is 20gm of carbs a lot?
**like in bread/cereal etc **

its confusing.

I dont mean the sugars/carbs in junk food.. i'm talking like fruits/cereals etc.

also is adding some honey on healthy cereal cheating?

it makes having cereal that is quite plain (wheatbix) so much better...

Oh and another thing how important is dairy when it comes to loosing weight.. i mean i have low skim milk in cereal and bits of cheese every so often.. but should I be getting more... like having low fat yogurt etc.

:/

I thought I had thrush and went to docs, but it has come back twice now so the meds arent working. Its not itchy, but I have a white discharge which doesnt smell bad and I cant think what this could be. I will go back to the docs, but just wanted to see if anyone could fill me in on what it could be.

I have always been very regular- and I still am- but for a couple of mths or so I have a very unusual heavy flow( just on the second day of my period).I've been to ob/gyn recently and she said that as long as nothing else is wrong it doesn't mean anything.Se also said that period "pattern" changes every few years.I have done all possible tests, including pap smear test (as I am also trying to conceive).Anyone else experienced this?Maybe your doctor told you something different.Please share with me as I am a bit concerned about this.

I recently had an ultra sound examination. Can cancer show up on this examination?
The doctor said that I had fatty tissues attached to my liver only(my torso and organs were thoroughly checked). Should I consider myself all clear?

im 19 and have been told by my doctor that i may be able to have a double mastectomy and reconstruction on the NHS if i decide i want to.

my mum got breast cancer when she was 34 and died when she was 42, 5 years ago. i was her carer and watched her get worse and worse every day.

i would do anything to stop this from happening to me as she was in so much pain and constantly in and out of hospital. she had no quality of life towards the end, and seeing my mum like this will scar me for life.

i went to the doctor to see if i can be scanned every year or so to check im dont have breast cancer, but she said i cant be tested till im 40!!!! so the only other option is the matectomy and reconstruction.

so i really want this operation to make sure i never ever get cancer. i know its a big operation but i think its totally worth it

whats your opinion?? no nasty remarks please this is a sensitive topic to me.

I have BV...It pretty depressing...I took the antibiotics my GYNO gave me but it came back as soona s antibiotics ran out... I cant have sex anymore because it simply hurts SO much. It even hurts inserting and removing my tampons to the point where i want to cry. My GYNO along with alot of other suffering women's GYNO's literally dont know wha to do with women with reoccuring BV...

I heard of the method that has worked for SO many women who are so happy and relieved...But isnt medically ever mentioned....

You buy UNSWEETENED natural PLAIN yogurt and you buy PROBIOTIC capsuls and mix the powder inside the capsuls with the yogurt and insert it inside your vagina, also taking 2-3 capsuls oraly a day...i heard its messy but highly reccomended

If youv heard of this yogurt method (has it worked for you?) or heard anything else that works out PLEASE HELP ME :(!!! i am so tired of this :(

My legs have that feeling that you would have if you were lifting heavy weights with them, except they're resting. It started about an hour ago, and it's still going on. I have no idea what it would be. I didn't just exercise with them, and I wasn't even walking around at the time it started. Anyone have any idea?

Should I take pain killers? The pain is bearable, though quite a neuisance.

I've got this thing on the back of my head on the left side under my hair. It started out as a small knot that kind of hurt. Now after a few days it's a big bump that hurts so bad. Should I be worried? I've never had anything like this happen before.
