This just happened after I woke up.. my middle finger on the left hand and my index on my right are both slightly reddish and they look a little bigger than the other ones and i can't really bend them.. I'm 18 and I have no idea what this is.

I recently came off all my prescribed medications recently (against better advice) as I had a very bad reaction to Tramadol. I was taking Valium, Xanax, Prozac and various pain killers for my problems, but those are the main ones that I was taking. In the end, it was a constant barrage of all those, with Tramadol, and I'm not proud to admit, quite a bit of alcohol. I'm completely dry for over three weeks now. Quitting isn't the problem. The problem is the nightmares. I am remembering things that I have repressed from being five. I can't sleep during the night, as staying in deep sleep (REM) for too long really emotionally upsets me. I am literally waking up in the night crying.

So i look as if I am sleeping all the time; losing weight because I don't want to leave the bedroom, but I am just mostly talking to myself or staring at the wall, and half in and out of consciousness.I can't go on like this.I can't deal with the stuff my dad did to me growing up right now.Any advice?

my body toled me,if you have a food allergy and your partner has eaten large quantities of the food that you are sensitive to,you might develop an allergy reaction after love-making. the allergy can be present in semen , is this true?

My son has bipolar, he was fine off of meds for the past two years. And is in the middle of a breakdown. I am going nuts here.
SA is the worst place for health care, I am aware of that today more than ever.
His dr moved away, and I never found another. I took him to see a gp and she gave him Risperdal 5mg, 1 3x a day. Those meds are finished and now he seems distant and in a trance, I go back to the dr and to only find that she has closed until next year.
So off his wife and I run around hoping to find some one to help us. No one can until the new year.
OMG, I don't know what to do.
Any GP just won't or can't help us.
Now I am stressing, with christmas around the corner how is my son going to cope. He is 24 please if anyone could give me some insight.
Thanks

My ex once made a comment about him wanting me to perform oral sex on him more often and I rolled my eyes and said 'how about I just drop to my knees for you every hour on the hour.' And of course he told me to go ahead. We were obviously just joking but I got to wondering would it be possible for a guy to *** that often? Not that I plan on doing it, just wondering.

When i visit my doctor, i told him i was on diet. He said, if i take bean vermicelli (i.e. glass noodles) instead of rice, rice vermicelli or noodles, my carbohydrate consumption will be lower. Because bean vermicelli gives us protein instead of carbohydrate. How true is that?

I am getting intermittent stomach pains cramps – I had it yesterday till I ate porridge then it went . I woke up early at 5.00 am with these pains again they are like pains that cramps that come every 10 seconds in like waves like clockwork…

So I woke up had a camomile and it was fine went back to sleep until 9.00 am . now I have the pains again i just got up they seem better after a very weak tea without water..

Should I eat breakfast tummy is making the noises..but I guess its best to starve for a few hours or maybe a bit of toast and peppermint tea…can anyone advise what this is and how to deal with it .,..I also have a cold

Carl Levin lobbied for US citizenship on behalf of a man known to be a fundraiser for the PFLP, and yet Levin is still drawing air as an elected official.

Although this story is a some years past, it shows a definite trend as this behavior was recently adopted by a Democrat for whom the presidency of the United States is the goal: Dennis Kucinich.

How can we fight an enemy when they are supported by members of our government?

No wonder Lieberman is backing a Republican.

I'm 19, 5'7 and I weigh about 140lbs. Probably a little more.

I know this is a healthy normal weight and blablabla... I don't feel good about my body and that's what matters. I have sort of flabby arms, thighs and my bum and belly could definately use some work.

So I want suggestions to what I can do to lose some weight and tone up!
I don't have time to work out! I walk to work which is about 30 minutes and that's that.
I try to eat healthy but lately I've been eating so much junk and it's had a bad impact on my mood, body, SKIN etc. so no more of that.

I want some HEALTHY suggestions to meal plans, please.
