Health - 18 October 2007

I have a class from 2:00-3:15 p.m. but every time I am in that class I fall asleep. I don't know what to do. I have tried the whole cup of coffee thing, (as for soda and energy drinks, no thanks what so ever) but that does not work. I get enough sleep at night. What is going on? Can some one out there give me an idea.

It's this circular dark colored.. thing on my forehead. It appeared about two years ago. It's not exactly a mole because it isn't squishy or anything but it feels like a tiny bump of raised skin. I cover it with my bangs, that's worked well for the last year and a half. I have a habit of picking at it, gross i know, but it always "grows" back, like a reappearing scab or something. Only it never bleeds, it's like picking off a few layers of skin that always grow back.

soooo what is it and what will make it disappear? :]

A very good friend of mine is dealing with sexual addiction. I want to be able to support him through this, but not be a nag or feel like his mom at the same time. I do a lot of counseling through my work as an educator, but it gets more complex in my personal life. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.

I have been taking yaz for 7 mths. Im a sunday start and last month I was a week late. I started bleeding on the sat. after I was supposed to start. It was only like 2 days that i bled. I have never had a period be late, ive never skipped, and i havnt had one that short.(im extremely regular) So this month I didnt start until the sunday after I started my placebo week. 7 days late. I had blood for 2 days again and the wham it just stopped. I even took a preg. test...negative. Is this cause for alarm or have i just made a change for the better? Professional opinions would be great also.

I have been a self- harmer since i was 13 (now 16) and i sometimes get weird urges to do something scarey to myself.

When i was 13, i got the urge to break my wrist. And i did.
When i was 14, i got the urge to take all my fingernails off, and i did.
Last year i got the urge to cut one of my fingers off. It didn't work but i have a scar from trying.

Last night i got an urge to make a cut on the whte part of my eye....

Would i be blind in one eye if i did this?

I don't have an appointment until Monday with a doctor.

Are there any ear decongestants (focused on ear only) that I can get at jewel/walgreens?

If not, how safe/unsafe is using the bent paperclip to try to dig wax out?

I just find it really nasty if a guy isn't circumcised and i wont have sex if he isn't. I know not everyone is and i can't just ask someone to get circumcised but its dirty no matter how much they wash it, am i going to run into trouble with my sex life by keeping this standard?

I've heard of doctors writing prescriptions for their wife or kids, but what about themselves? Like can he diagnose himself with something and write out a prescription? Wouldn't he look weird walking into a pharmacy with a prescription from himself? Would he even have to go to a pharmacy? Please advise. ty.

I have an abscess on my inner thigh. It 'popped' last Friday, and has been draining fluid since. I am on antibiotics, and have been keeping it clean.

Would doing physical excercise cause me any problems? Even if I keep the area tightly gaused?

Two weeks ago I began doing more cardio, which irritated the abscess. But now that it's burst and mostly drained, should I be okay to resume exercise?

In case you don't know, there is this Funny Car driver named John Force. He was in a crash on September 23 with a dislocated wrist, compound fracture to the ankle, and several broken toes and fingers. He's been in the hospital for about 2 weeks and I always find myself thinking about what happened. And I get worried. I WANT TO KNOW WHY!
