I've been through all of the steroid sprays etc. which cause more problems then they solve. I have suffered so much from remedies that I no longer trust mainstream doctors. Yet, every night I suffer this terrible pain that wakes me up. I can do a little back bend to alleviate it. Drinking water helps. If it gets too bad I do take a Tylenol. I use my neti pot every night, but it just doesn't reach this deep painful spasm that occurs in my chest every night. I went to a cardiologist, but he had no clue, even after some dreadful radioactive test. He just tried to sell me "super bowl" statins. He did say that my blood oxygen was low because of the asthma. Has anyone experienced this and found a remedy, that does not involve dangerous pharmaceutacals?

After smoking some marijuana i wanted to test myself as to how much pain I can handle. And well I found I can handle pretty much any amount of pain because I am able to convince myself the pain feels good and I enjoy its increasing intensity. The only thing that stops me from continuing is the thought of my skin boiling. Is this a problem?Should I encourage it with non-lethal methods? If so which? Do I need help?

i was getting ready for a party, since it's almost new years, and i hit my head very hard on a wood desk as i bent down to pick somthing up. my eyes watered and i could barely breathe. in about a minute i noticed a huge bump about a third or a fourth of my forehead and a little bit of blood. it is still swollen and painful right now. i am pretty dizzy and i decided to ask this question to see if anyone knows what is going on, if i should see a doctor, how long it will take to heal, what i should do, etc...
thank you.

Ok do you think I am germ-phobic or just sensible? I wash my hands after using an ATM or pushing a shopping cart, and I try to avoid touching door handles on public toilets etc. Also I will not prepare ANY food without washing my hands first and I will never swim in public swimming pools. Am I germ-phobic or not? Thanks guys,

I just wanted to know is sleep automatic? Meaning, will you fall asleep at some point if you are sleep deprived. Is there a chance that you may never fall asleep again? I know it sounds like a stupid question, lol.

I've been drinking milk since I was very young (im currently a teenager). But for almost 3 months or so, I stopped drinking because I tend to forget it whenever my family goes to the grocery store. 2 weeks ago, I had an infection (cold, cough, slight fever, etc.) and my mom said this can also contribute to the aching of muscles etc.

I get random (lasts for about 5 seconds or so) shooting pains in my arm, legs (it's not really painful though, I'm just concerned about it). Also, my muscles twitch randomly.

I don't have any other symptoms that I know of. Otherwise, I'm generally ok.

Thanks!

idk what's causing it or how to fix it. i'll go for about 8 hours without eating until i finally get hungry enough to force myself to eat something. but any food just makes me feel sick to my stomach... even though i just have a bite of something. i've always had problems sleeping anyway, but i haven't been able to fall asleep until 4 in the morning every night & i'm restless all night. and no, i'm not stressed out or depressed. i've actually been a lot happier than usual

Last night at 9pm I drank just a half shot of rum and I went to sleep a half hour later. I slept until 2:30 this afternoon (15 hours). I was in a VERY DEEP sleep. I had multiple dreams that were nightmares. I had dream after dream in the same night while I was sleeping. I woke up at about 7am feeling really tired and hot (I was sweating with my bed wet). I woke up again and went back to sleep. I feel really sick. I feel dizzy, I head is spinning, My vision is blurry, Im not as sharp, i still feel negative effects from the alcohol. Please help me. I feel BAD. What should I do. I want to get back to normal.
