Health - 10 September 2007

I'm the kind of person who needs 10 hours of sleep at night - unfortunately, I get closer to 5 or 6 because my boyfriend and I work different schedules. Usually, I just sleep a good 12 hours each night over the weekend & I'm fine during the week. This isn't the case this week though. Even on the weekend I felt the need to take a nap - it wasn't just that I felt sleepy, but that I couldn't keep my eyes open for anything. Yesterday i refused to take a nap, knowing I'd have to come to work today and wanted to get good rest at night. That didn't happen. As soon as I went to bed, I coudln't sleep. Mind wasn't racing or anything like that, I just couldn't get to sleep - then when I did, I couldn't stay asleep.
Now I'm starting to feel drowsy again. What can I do to stop this cycle & make it through the day?

I'm currently detoxing from an opiate addiction with the drug Suboxone. I was wondering if the Suboxone will block the effects of another medication called Xanax. I'm taking Clonipin now but was just wondering what the effects would have on the xanax. Would I still feel the effects of the xanax?

I am concerned because my new husband told me after we were married that absolutely forbids me to wear a bra when I am away from work. A part of me wants to and feels like I should do this him. Another part says I am 35-C and at 31 am concerned that my breasts will sag from the lack of support. Fortunately, I have not yet seen any evidence of that as I have remained firm. Sometimes, other women give a dirty look if my dress is only slightly low cut. I don't flop. I just bounce slightly like my husband wants. What should I do?

I've recently been experiencing awful PMS...I never have before. I don't want to take any prescribed medication. Is there an herbal, or dietary supplement that will alleviate these horrible symptoms. I'm 42, and I don't think I'm pre-menepausal yet.

My mom said that if you are over 110 or 100 pounds you can start giving blood, is that true also, she works at a hospital, but not in that department, she is more of who goes to what part for what disease or problem they have. So again, is that true?

No medicine helps. Not IBProfin, not aspirin, not Tylenol. I've tried drinking lots of water. I did have a bad cold for 2 weeks and I took sinus medicine last night which did not help at all.

This is driving me nuts. Are there any secrets or tricks to getting rid of a headache?

I just got new glasses. They're all right and everything, but the lenses are slightly pink. I plan on wearing them a lot. Could this have a bad effect on my eyes?

I've had trouble with fibroids in the past. The symptoms are returning so I had an ultrasound. One ovary was hard to find(but they did find it)due to a fibroid,but the other wasn't visible,they said due to my bowel being in the way?! Now I'm not skinny,but I'm not obese either. Why would my bowel be in the way? And would this explain some of the symptoms I've had?(pain during sex,bloating,constipation)

For the past 2 days i have had really intense pain in my left side of my chest, it feels like it's my heart muscle but i do not know if it is my heart or if it is chest pain. It hurts quite badly if i take a deep breath in but even lying on my left side makes it more painful.
I have a heart murmur caused by a mitral valve prolapse, it has not bothered me so far apart from irregular heartbeat and slight palpitations in the last few weeks. I also have mild asthma and am 25 weeks pregnant. I have no way of getting to my GP in the next few days and just wondering if anyone has any ideas of what might be causing it? Should i worry?

I had a UTI back at the beginning of the year and took care of it. Now, for the last 4 or 5 months I notice (mostly after my period is over) that when I urinate it smells slightly, burns, is cloudy, and I feel the urge to urinate frequently. I've went to the doctors numerous of times and the tests keep coming back negative. But now, on Saturday I noticed a aching pain in my back on the left side where your kidneys are located. I thought I hurt my back, but now the pain is gone on the left part of my back and now is on my right side today.

Is there a chance that there has been an infection but they were overlooking it? And now it has moved up to my kidneys? I have a doctors appointment on Wed. Just want to know what others thought.

I was wondering if anyone could give me some weight loss information on what I'm starting.

My goal is to lose 28 pounds, but I want to know how long it'd take if I took up this scheme:

A low carb diet, alongside cycling fifteen miles everyday. Drinking only water; no fizzy drinks. I have been on the low carb diet before, and lost around 14 pounds on it without having to do the exercise. Also, if I started going to the gym every few days, how long would it take then?

Thank-you.

Is there any point in which intolerance to a certain food (say milk or eggs for example) turns into an allergy or are they totally unrelated ?

Is intolerance showing up only as digestion problems and not other allergy symptoms ?

Can you mistakenly interrpret intolerance as allegry in blood tests or vica versa ?
