I have been doing this for a while now but it has gotten epsecially worst since I've had my daughter. My daughter is now 9 months and mostly sleeps through the night. When she was about 2 months, she would only sleep for 1-2 hours and then wake up. It seems my body has gotten used to waking up in 3-4 hours now and I can't seem to break the habbit. I would lay there for about 1-2 minutes until I fall back to sleep, but why do I keep going through this process of waking every 3-4 hours. I do the same thing on the weekend. I don't eat/drink late, I tire myself out through the day, I go the bathroom before bed but nothing seems to help keep my asleep. I wake up so tired EVERY morning because my sleep is constantly being broken. This to me sounds like a sleeping disorder, or what do you guys think? Should I ask my doctor for sleeping pills?

Also, I think the fact that I have a small bladder problem contributes to the fact of me waking up because I have to use the bathroom.

I just got tested for STDs for the first time yesterday. I have had no symptoms leading me to believe that I have an STD, but thought it would be a good idea to get checked. This involved a penis swab to check for chlamydia. It hurt pretty bad. The doctor did a quick examination of the culture and said everything looked normal. He said there would be a tingling sensation the next time I urinated because of the chemicals on the swab.

Far from a "tingling" sensation - it now is extremely painful to urinate. For the first few seconds, it's intense, then after I'm finished, there are random periods where my penis is very sensitive. This lasts about 30 minutes after I've urinated. It's been a little less than 24 hours now since I've had this done -- should I be worried? Like I said, I never had this problem before the swab yesterday...

Do you believe that the Cure for Cancer (most kinds if not all) has already been discovered but it hasn't been announced yet because the Pharmaceutical Industry makes billions of dollars selling other needed drugs for curing cancer? I heard this from a student of mine this morning. He truly believes this is so. Will many still die for some to make their millions? What do you think? Is it possible?

Long ago, I remember my friend telling me a story that he had a worm and the only reason why he knew is because his mother saw it coming out of his butt one night. What is this worm? And it's not like he was just sleeping naked, she took him to the doctor with suspicion that there could be a parasite inside him. The doctor told her to watch his butt to see if anything came out of it while he slept.

My boyfriend gets bad cold sores, but I don't think I've ever had one in my life. Are some people more prone to getting them than others? Is it possible to never get them? Any information appreciated =)

I am a 48 year-old woman who has severe heart disease.

My heart disease is hereditary.

I had quadruple bypass surgery in November, 2003. I actually had 6 blockages but one of them was opened using a stent and the decision was made on the other to not do anything at the time. The surgeon had trouble finding veins and arteries in my body that were in good enough shape to perform the surgery with. By January of 2004 two of the 4 bypasses that they performed had collapsed. The decision was made to attempt to maintain my health through numerous medications. A second surgery is in my future but the surgeons feel that it is the last option I have with the remaining useble arteries.veins in my body so they are holding off as long as they can to give me more time.

I have two questions. I had asked the first one of the surgeons after my surgery once I knew of my situation and at the time they had nothing positive to say.

Please bear with me.. I need to type additional info...
