Health - 28 September 2007

When you've worked really hard over the last month, and virtually worked yourself to death, how do you relax and rest.

So far, I've slept on it for about 15 hours, and that did it ok, but I'm still tired, any suggestions.

Over that month, I was getting around 0-5 hours sleep a day.

I've wanted to become an obstetrician for a few years now (I've just started my first year at USC) but after researching a little, I've found that it might just be too much to handle. I really love this specialty though..is there any other profession in the medical field I could look into that's related to obstetrics, besides the OB doctor?

I have a friend who is a very bad alcholic and he keeps saying he wants to goto detox hes attempted to go 2 times this week but didn't go through with it the whole way. He went today and they checked his blood alchol content and it was 3.36. Is there any suggestions on how I can get him to go and stay and get dried out before he ends up killing himself. I am very frusterated with him and I don't want to turn my back on a friend but I can't sit and watch him do this to himself. Any suggestions?

About a week ago I waxed my upper lip with wax strips that warm between your fingers. Usually they work fine, but I think I over-waxed or got too close to my lip and it became tender and a bunch of red bumps developed in the corner of my mouth. The sores scabbed a little, but keep cracking open when I eat or talk. Also, I have two dark spots (maybe dry skin or scarring?) that appeared on the waxing site a few days later... I'm in worse shape now than I was before I waxed! I have tried Neosporin, A&D ointment, and Campho-Phenique, mostly for the pain, but I don't see much improvement I just want these ugly things to heal faster and not leave scars. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Everything in my life is way different than it was say...2 years ago. I really miss those times, everyone I know is so messed up on all kinds of drugs now and I don't know what to do (I'm clean).
I feel so strange. I don't know what to do. I won't lie, I do think about killing myself daily. It's a bad obsession. What the hell should I do.

I keep having them over and over again I cant take it anymore it is making me feel nervous all day sore tired. Ive been to the Dr numerous times he seemed the first couple of times to be very helpful now he kind of just says ok take ur meds. The thing is he gave me xanax which makes me very tired i would rather be in panic mode than sleepy all day. Is there a better medicine out there that doesnt make u sleepy. My panic comes because I keep think im going to have a heart attack I hear all these things about young people having heart attacks even fit people running have them. Ive talked to my dr about that and he said with family history and my health that there was a 0% chance of me having a heart attack at a young age but I dont know Im still really nervous about it I tried running but i get scared and stop cause I think im going to have a heart attack. I think im going crazy. By the way im 30 years old non smoker and try to stay away from fast food and other bad trans fat foods.

I am swimming at a pool without warming up before swimming. Coz I'm a beginner swimmer, i am excited. I challenges my friends to compete swimming back and forth many times. Suddenly, i scream as my right calf muscle stiffen and very painful. The pool guard lifts her immediately from the pool then stretches my right cramped calf muscle...

Tell me, what is this disease?

the longer, the better.

thnx

I've been in and out of the bathroom four times, when I close my eyes I feel like I"m spinning, when I lay down I can feel what I've eaten today crawling back up my throat and I have to keep swallowing. it's not coming into my mouth but it feels like it could. what could these be symptoms of? I had a lot of mt dew before bed, could that be it? no kind of drugs or alcohol.

I'm 13, and I'm about 5'0. I've had my period for around 2 years, and I haven't grown any taller. I remember before I got my period, I was shooting up, but now, I haven't grown in months.
Will I stay this height forever??? I really don't want to be 5'0 for the rest of my life! Is there anything I can do to grow taller??
