Health - 27 December 2007

Ok, this is going to sound really stupid but whatever.

Anyway, I want to see what will happen to me when I get woken up in the deepest stage of REM sleep.
I'll use an alarm clock to wake me up.

So my question is, how many hours after falling asleep should I set my alarm to so I can attempt to wake myself up in the deepest stage?

Also, I would like to know, would this work?

I'm trying this because people say if you're waken up in the deepest stage of REM sleep you have night terrors or something.


Please refrain from calling me stupid etc. because I quite already know that and I don't give a ****. I just want some answers.

Thanks!
xoxo

Lately I've been having trouble reading writing that is far away. I have DirectTV and I can barely read the guide, the words are a blur, but I can see the picture perfectly. I can't see the digital clock on the oven from across the room. Stuff like this. My mom said that I'll probably need glasses, and I agree with her. She said I should wait until it get's really bad before I get glasses because glasses make your eyes lazy. Should I wait or get them now?

What are the best workout DVD's from the 3 above? I hear that these really kick your *** and help you lose fat easily. I've only done Tae Bo a couple of times in middle school...but now I am 18 and a college student...I exercise regularly but I started doing so less and less since college because of homework and procrastination...I'm 5'5", pretty fit and a size 6 but my thighs are icky and flabby, so I just wanna get toned more ...I'm taking jazz dance, pilates, and weight training next semester but I also need a cardio component to my schedule...also, what's a good yoga DVD from the Firm? I don't know, I'm trying to whip my butt into shape so I can try out for the cheerleading squad at my community college (I've never cheered before and I've always wanted to and I talked to the coach and she said that she'll let most people in as long as they are coordinated and good at dancing...but I gotta make sure!!) Alright, sorry if this is long...thanks for responses!!

I have been using Advil Liquigels for about a week and a half to deal with tooth pain. I had been taking 6 a day (recommended max on bottle) but then day before yesterday I took 8, and then yesterday I took a total of 10. I have been prescribed 9 Advil a day before, so I didn't think this was any big deal.

Each liquigel is 200 milligrams, and from what I've found online, the maximum daily *prescription* dosage of Advil is 3200 milligrams, meaning a total of 16 Advil max in a 24 hour period. Can anyone confirm that I have this right?

I had a root canal today and have taken a total of 12. I feel ok, just very tired, but I am almost positive this is due to lack of sleep and a difficult day from the root canal, and it being late.
But, I just wanted to see if anyone knew for sure that the amt. of Advil I've taken is ok. I want to go to sleep but now I'm paranoid. I'm a big person if that makes any difference.
Thank you!

Recently I have had a sharp pain located on the left side of my head when I make a sudden movement, like stand up quickly. It only lasts a few seconds but it is very painful. This concerns me and I am wondering what this could be caused by. Is it from watching too much TV or looking at a computer for too long? Or what usually causes this reaction? What can be done to help this???

I do have a 'Dislocated L-2 Disc'.

Could that be why? I'm getting really tired waking up with a very Sore Left Hip.

Could it be a "Sciatic Never" problem?

i had a really bad cold about a week ago and towards the end when it was starting to go away my ear started hurting everytime i yawned. i went to the doctor yesterday and they said they couldnt find anything but they gave me pills for it. my mom says it can be from the cold i had, that it can be sinusitis. should i go check with an ear doctor to be sure and what could it be?

i still have a cold so im thinking that could be it.
oh and i keep telling my mom to get me one of those vicks vaporizers for my cold...and cause i always wanted to try one of those things =) do you think that would help my cold and then my ear problem would go away?

Recently my boyfriend and I had sex, without a condom, and we tried a new lube, KY Jelly warming sensation . That same day he had a few red spots on the head of his penis but that was it. I had no symptoms, but the next day about halfway through the day I noticed my private area started itching. I didn't think anything of it, however the itching increased and I started to think I had a yeast infection. I took a test and I did have a yeast infection, so I treated it, this was yesterday. Last night my boyfriend masturbated and right afterwards, the shaft was very painful and burned and the right side of it looked red. Any liquid that touched it hurt. The head was also very very dry and a little flaky. Today, it hurt whenever anything came into contact with it, and he said it hurt to pull back the skin. I don't know if this is a male yeast infection or just him being really dry or if he is having an allergic reaction to the KY. He said the burning sensation is the same as the KY felt

I think I may have been bit by something. I put my hand on the table and then I went and turned around. I felt something on my ring finger like a very small pinch. I saw something black and I think narrow on my finger, but I brushed it away quickly because I was scared so I don't even know if it was a bug. I washed the area with hydrogen peroxide. It looks like the area might be slightly discolored (possibly because I'm a hypochondriac). I can't really see anything else. Should I be worried? What else should I do?

My mother is 46, and in April, she was having sever chest pain and her face was always so red. She went to the hospital, they did cardiac cath the next day and told her she needed bypass surgery. Five days later they did the surgery, quadruple bypass, and all was well until last September. She had a mild heart attack. They did an angiogram, put stents in, and she had a TIA(went blind for 11 hours and cant really remember much). The doctor told her she had diseased arteries and that the one(s)(not sure if they did more than one) they fixed was narrowed.

So far. all is well. Shes doing cardiac rehab, and feels a bit fine.

Does anyone know the prognosis after byoass and then angioplasty?

I have a mass on my thyroid that has been there for seven months. On the ultrasound scan it showed to measure 4.10x3.45x2.2cm. I would like to know if that is considered large?
I know that thyroid nodules are common but I am only 22 years old and I found this lump on my neck seven months ago. It has not gotten any smaller and we are now undergoing testing to see what is causing it. The intial blood tests show that my thyroid is functioning normally and we have ruled out any thyroid disfunction. No one has told me yet if the nodule is considered large. Any information would be helpful.

I searched for AMD, but couldn't find it! I would be thankful if you could specify a link so that I could know about the symptoms! By the way, this man has been injected the dexametazone and betametazone for five days, but hasn't recovered! Again tnx to Guess and Deb8er for your answeres! :) I also saw the symptoms about the macula degeneration, but I don't think that would be it, cause in that case it's said "The eye still sees objects to the side, since side (peripheral vision) is usually not affected." But this isn't the way this man sees object! Reffering to what the doctors had said I think they first thought it was macular degeneration but after a while they noticed it wasn't! They have also said it was sth. to do with the optical nerves of the patient! That's why I wanna know what the AMD(refering to what Guess said) is!
