I'm having sleep issues lately. I went to bed last night about 2:30 am, and I just woke up at about 11:00 pm. I litterally slept all day. I generally do not go to bed until between 2:00 and 5:00 in the morning, but even when I've reached as much as 12 hours of sleep, I can't get up. When I do finlly get out bed, I just fall back asleep. Plus I'm so cold, I just can't wake up..even though I live in FL. Am I just lazy or what?

I have recently read that 1 in 150 children are diagnosed with autism which is significantly higher than the 1 in 166 that has become the common figure. At this rate we could eventually see 1 in 25 children diagnosed or perhaps one day even 1 in 4. If we can't figure out what causes this or how to cure it, it could one day overwhelm us as a nation if not a species.

Do you think that this could ever be a possibility and if so what could we do about it?

My friends grandmother has Alzheimers and was basically told she has six months to live. Now I'm sure the doctor was much kinder in his delivery of this news. and even though there was a lot more information given, this is about all she got out of the conversation-six months to live. Why is it fatal?

Lina, a patient, was suffering from cholera and was already crying out in pain. She lives in a remote area in ****** with her husband Gregorio. Since the supply of medicine that could cure Lina was out of stock in their dilapidated clinic, the doctor left in charge gave her instead a coca cola. What for?

My grandmother is on Amitriptyline and Paxil. I have been setting up her meds for her and they are both described by a different doctor. I read Amitriptline is also for muscles and pain. She has been dizzy and wants to sleep and just not herself. Could it be shes taking 2 antidepressents? I dont think she needs both of them. Any Suggestions? Thanks

My toe next to pinky is numb on both feet.
I started noticing it about a year ago.
My blood sugar is good but I do have diebetics in the family. It's not painful but sometimes at night I feel like I have restless feet syndrom.
What going on with my numb toes?

My brother was diagnosed with Duchennes Muscular Dystrophy at the ripe age of four, this disease killed him a eighteen, after fourteen years of being unable to walk and slowly losing the control of his muscles, including his heart. This disease was very painful to the family and to my dear brother.

I am a MD carrier of 50%, this means that if I have a boy there is a 50% chance he would have the disease. If I had a girl, there is a 50% chance that she would also be a carrier. Now, I have no idea how my husbands genes would contribute and there is no way in knowing if he can lower the chances.

We want to have one baby and adopt one but I have no idea if it the right thing to do. I am forever grateful that I had my brother in my life, he really was the only security I had but is it right for me to take such a risk knowing what the disease is about?

Now irregular periods again and PID (after 3 visits to hospital b4 someone listed to me) plus a cyst which they are leaving as 4cm isn't big enough to remove..
I am on a cocktail of A/botics and things are only about 5%better..
