If so, how do you help yourself to feel better? I feel really awful today, and the only thing I ate that is unusual for me yesterday is a Hershey bar.

When I lay down to sleep my muscles will twitch. it started 3-4yrs ago with just a finger now and then. but now it could be my left or right side of my body will twitch at once. it doesn't hurt so i ignore it most of the time. But no matter what I do if I lay down before I sleep my body will twitch.

Now when I fall asleep in a chair or otherwise not lieing down I don't twitch. Just when I lie down anywhere.

And no I don't drink or take ANY drugs legal or otherwise. so don't go accuseing.

but any help would be cool.

I always wondered should you change it when you find out you have Strep or after the Strep goes away? If You change it early you can still contanimate it. If you wait you could prolong Strep.

I heard that multi vitamins might not help you and maybe actually do some harm. Any truth to that?

My wife had a tummy tuck and breast lift three weeks ago. The doctor (in Colombia) has been using laser treatment to reduce scarring. Now that she is coming back home are there any good products for reducing cosmetic surgery scars? I just saw an ad on TV for Mederma. Has anyone used that or some other product? Were they useful?

Last night my doctor and i was at the same party. We started talking and hit it off pretty well. He told me he was interested in me when i was his patient. But now that im not his patient anymore he wants to ask me out to dinner. IS that unethical? Because he was my doctor?

I'd like details on the effects of smoking. I head that your blood sugar rises when you smoke? Does it constrict the blood vessels? I'd like to know specific things like that. Not generalized effects like wrinkles, lack of energy etc. I want to know WHY it causes wrinkles and why we have lack of energy and what is actually happening inside the lungs when we smoke. I also heard it can cause bladder cancer. Why? What is happening in the body to cause that? Thanks for your help.

I have a very large hernia...and every week or every two weeks, I have an episode. It is so painful for about 4 hours,I always throw up, cant bend,and am in severe pain.Then it goes away as fast as it came.

The doctor wont do surgery to repair it yet, because I am on high doese of prednisone for a lung disease. She said it would probally happen again, and those on prednisone dont heal well. She said larger hernias are not as serious as small ones. Its an incesional hernia from a c-section. So its about the same size as the c-section scar. Its gross!
