Does anyone have any sugestions on how to get a good night sleep when you have Fibromyalgia? I take my Ultram and Aleve before I go to bed. I fall asleep fairly easy but within a few hours I am awake and hurting. I have to get out of bed and move around and then I start all over again with trying to get some sleep. Some night all I get is 1 to 2 hours of sleep and it is taking it's toll on me.

It seems my husband's fight is still on and he'll probably need another surgery and maybe more treatment of some kind. Sometimes the cancer is stubborn or resistant.

Every morning I wake up with a sore throat. I do not sleep with a fan on, I do have allergies but take meds for it. The problem is, I take care of my grandparents and live with them for now. Their house has cockroaches, mosquitoes inside, fleas, and mice. Theyre too stubborn to get an exterminator and call us all crazy for seeing them but its pretty obvious theyre there. The house is so nasty. Could this be causing my sore throat and why my throat is filled with mucus and I lose my voice every morning and night>

I filed for a divorce from my husband. I went to the dr. for my yearly exam and also asked her to check for STD's, and it came back positive for genital herpes. I don't think I have ever had an outbreak but i remember when we married and since then, my husband has frequently had sore places on him he dismissed casually. How can I ever tell someone, if I ever have another relationship, that I have this?

I always have acne on my chin, but once in a while (during the last year or so) the pimples actually have this distinctly yellow crust on them (*different* from a whitehead or pus)... and when I pick off the crust another crust just forms immediately. Sorry, I know it's gross... but what is this?

I have had what feels like "acid reflux", for the last two weeks. Everytime I eat something,my throat burns, my chest hurts, and no matter how many "Pepcid" pills, or TUMS I take, it happens almost everyday after I eat. Someitmes it even wakes me up at night. I hate going to the doctor for every little thing, but it's starting to get bothersome. Does anyone have any suggestions on what's happening? or how I may remedy it? Thanks!

I take Zyrtec-D, Nasonex and Advair (250/50 once daily). I did take Singulair but stopped without any noticable changes to my allergies or peak flow/asthma. I also have an Albuterol Inhaler but haven't used it since I started taking Advair in 10/2004. I also get allergy shots and have been for over 2 years. I was told to continue getting allergy shots for 4-5 years. I've heard allergy shots also help asthma - any truth to that? If so, could one stop taking Advair to see if it is still necessary? Just curious......

I've been having aching discomfort in the middle and left of my chest, occaisonal shortness of breath, more discomfort in the left shoulder, lower back and up to my neck on the left side. Most symptoms going on for a year +. Have had an ECG, chest x-ray, peak-flow test, blood tests etc and everything is ok. Reckon if I was having a heart attack or something serious, would have had it by now. Doctor says I could investigate further with echo-cardiogram but he's not keen based on current symptoms. It's literally a pain in the neck/chest/arm/back. Should I be worried? Am male, 34, non-smoker, cholesterol of 5.2, but not big on exercise.

Every morning I wake up and have no voice. My throat is filled with mucus and I have to drink two cups of hot chocolate (no milk, just the powder and boiing water). I have to clear my throat continuously for 3 hours. It also happens for the last 3 hours of the day. I took Zyrtec and it did nothing for allergies. I am taking Allegra and its okay for a week, then it stops working, but this issue still happens. How can I get it to stop?

Anyone know anything about these? I was told I have them, but don't really have much info. Doctor didn't seem to concerned, so why am I worried? I don't like the idea of something being there that is not suppose to be! Can't they just take them off?

My granddaughter is one month old today and I noticed a red "strawberry colored" mark on her chest below the left nipple. When I felt it, there was a "lump" of tissue underneath which didn't feel normal. I know that my daughter is taking her to the doctor next week and am not too concerned, but I worry that this could be a cancerous growth. Am I right?

I am thinking about getting an insulin pump, I'm about 50/50. My one big question though is how am I going to go through daily life with it. I feel like if I was younger, older or male I would not be facing the dilemma of "can you see my pump under my fitted t-shirt?" : P I know that you can clip it multiple places on your clothing, but then that brings up where to clip and what about things like dresses. I realize this worrying is petty, my health vs. how I look, but unless I'm comfortable, I'm just sticking to my Lantus (literally).
