My husband and I will be fast asleep and he'll wake up in a panic. He says he feels like hes not getting enough oxygen. He tries to take deep breaths and go back to bed but he says he feels like hes jumping out of his skin. He can't sit still he gets up and walks around. Hes tired as hell but can't get back to sleep. He keeps saying he can't get enough oxygen. He tells me he knows its all in his head but he cant control it. I think it might be anxiety. but it only happens at night while hes sleeping and it wakes him up. I have to give him one of my xanax to go back to bed but Im telling him he really needs to see a doc. Does anyone have any ideas on what it can be.

I had a female physical scheduled at the clinic, but a few days before the appointment, my period started. At this point it's very very light. Is it all right to go or should I reschedule?

About 2 years ago my doctor found that I have an elevated white cell count by chance I was there for something else, so I was referred to a hematologist he gives me a cbc every 3 months to monitor it and it always ranges from 12,000 to 15,000 up and down, now he is suggesting that I have a bone marrow biopsy. I am scared and worried, this doctor tells me very little of what he is thinking he is very quick, I don't feel comfortable when I go, its like I forget to ask questions, maybe I don't want to hear the answer I don't know.

Okay, I just realized that I have my period today, I wasnt expecting it. In the middle of the day, I felt cramps and I got pretty gassy. Then after that, I felt light headed, and weak, like i was going to faint. And I feel a little naseous.

Girls, what should I do? What's causing me to feel this way? The same thing happened last month, I fainted in class. Mom went through all that trouble to leave work to pick me up in class. Then i was throwing up.

Do I need to go to a hospital? I don't feel very well, What should I do? What's causing this problem? I dont want to throw up again, and I'M IN CLASS RIGHT NOW!!!!!


Someone said something about birth control. I don't want leaks, cramps or fainting, Does birth control lightn your periods. I'm not pregnant.(I wish) Are there over-the-counter birth control pills? It there is, I'd be so happy.
What pill would you recommend?

Is 17 too young for birth control?

When I lived in my first apartment everyone complimented it. I swept, I mopped, I decorated it, I did everything. I've been living in my 2nd apartment for almost 4 years now. In the beginning I dust, mopped, changed the covers, washed the dishes, bought things for the house, but now I'm living in a situation that I never dreamt of. Now I would let the dishes sit in the sink for almost 2 weeks, I haven't changed the covers on my bed for 2 years. When my cat spit hairballs up on the carpet, I don't clean it up for a month. I don't have company cause I'm too embarrass. I have stuff all over the floor. There things thats been going on in my life like 4 years ago I lost my father and 5 years ago my mom was diagnosed with alzheimer. I've been taking medication for depression and anxiety for 14 years. I'm overweight and I have joint stiffness. I don't have kids. I'm not in a relationship. I don't understand it. What's wrong with me? Why all of a sudden the changes?

I suspect there is more than just diet involved. Everyone I know has the opposite problem and takes potassium pills. For the fourth time in a year I am being called into the Dr. for high potassium levels.

I've had chronic insomnia for a really long time, and I've tried just about everything imaginable. Nothing really works. Last night, a friend told me she'd heard that eating lettuce at bedtime is supposed to help you fall asleep and sleep more soundly. She went on to say she'd heard that the Chinese are known to feed babies lettuce to get them to sleep. I've never heard of such a thing. Is there any truth to it?

I accidentally came across this thread on this very board:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061130173426AARLVhg

... I was absolutely sickened by it.
The fact that not only was that person allowed to post about Autism in the "disease" board, asking for a "cure" for it and talking about it like it was some sort of malady or fault..... but then the responses they got likewise spoke with exactly the same revoltingly prejudiced attitude.

As an Aspergian myself, and a representitive of the Autistic community... I request that something be done to change this kind of attitude. We are not disabled, diseased or otherwise malformed. In many ways, Autistic people are in fact superior to neurotypicals, and have capabilities the average person could never dream of. No self-respecting Autistic person would ever want to be cured of that which sets them apart from the rabble.

Autism is not a "disease" to be "cured"!
Autism is an improvement to be encouraged!

We just got diagnosed in May, although we were in therapy at the wrong place for 4 years. When his doc added the Zoloft, I gave it to him for two days, he began vomiting, etc. I took him to the ER because I thought it was the meds. They found nothing wrong, sent me home. I knew something wasn't right and through perssistance discovered he had walking pnemonia. He thinks the Zoloft caused this. He is doing well, and since I've never seen him on an antidepressent, I don't know how it would affect him. I want him to see the therapy and meds positively and he does, except with this. I fear if I force him, the rest of the therapy will be seen negatively and become less effective. I called his doc and got no reply, but we see him today. His therapist is also aware of this and thinks that the Zoloft would be benificial. How do I go about getting him to take it w/o ruining his good outlook on his treatment?

I have been taking darvocet 100n for over 2 years for a chronic condition. But what i am worried about, I didn't want to take anything stronger ( most docs don't want to give anything anyways) , so now I have to take 2 or 2.5 pills to get any relieve, which I know is way to much. But when you are hurting , you don't care. What are the first signs that i am hurting my kidneys or liver? Latest bloodwork didn't show anything ...please help.
