I have a slight case of scoliosis... my bottom left rib cage sticks out farther than my right. Is there anything to correct this or straighten out my spine (any exercises). No surgery or braces.

I get really bad headaches. I was getting them every day for awhile, then they stopped. Now they started again, and they aren't migraines because light and sound don't bother it.

I became an ardent coffee drinker late in life. I find that I have acquired dark circles under my eyes. Could this be due to the coffee drinking?

The problem that I'm having is that I'm constantly tired. In class I can hardly keep my eyes open and during the day I find myself wanting to doze off. I get between 6 and 9 hours of comfortable sleep each night and don't party or stay out late. What are some methods/products I could use to help reduce my drowsiness during the day? I don't drink coffee, but I've often thought of drinking an energy drink each morning. Will that do anything or am I wasting my time?

I've gotten a kit w shampoo and a comb and some bedding spray. But after I used the shampoo on her and was going through her hair w the nit comb, some bugs were still crawling around. I promply took the live ones off the comb and sprayed them w the bedding spray and they died right away. I know I can't use that spray on her, so please don't think I have considered that as an option, cuz it could harm her. I'm already in the process of washing all our bedding and brushes. I'm hoping that someone has some techniques that maybe I haven't thought of. Please answer this if you have been through it before!

Your help is greatly appreciated!
