What can I do about it? I need to have a blood test. Yesterday I went to the lab and I would not let them do it. I really need to have this test done. Do you know about any solutions or treatment for this?

My school starts at 7:15 and I have to be there earlier, so I have to get up at 5:30. I usually go to bet around 9:30 to 10:00 and I probably can't go to bed much earlier because of homework and stuff.

My wife was in a major wreck that left her with a broken hip, muscle, and nerve damage. She was pregnant at the time and soon gave birth following the accident, however, the doctors could only help her with pain and could not treat the injury for fear of hurting the baby ( her request). She still has a fracture that did not come together and heal. We fuaght the disabillity thing and won but four years later it was taken away from her because she was "Re-evalutated by a quack. Now, she can't even get out of bed or walk. My wife is only 35 and I need to take her and have a real doctor correct this condition, if possible. I don't want to think that my insurance would not cover this because it is a (pre-existing condtion), after all, the best doctors that the government has say that there is nothing wrong with her. does anyone have any input? I can't see her it this pain anymore. It couldn't be pre-existing if the condition does not exist, am I right or just ignorant to the fact.

"For a long time it had seemed that life was about to begin. But there was always some obstacle in the way - some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid - then life would begin.
At last it dawned on me that dwelling on these obstacles was my life. This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness - happiness is the way.
The trick is to count your blessings and to stop waiting until you finish school - go back to school, until you lose ten pounds, until you have kids - your kids leave home, until you start work - retire, until you get married - divorced, until Friday night, until you get a new car or home - your car or home is paid off, until spring – summer – fall – winter, until you've had a drink - sobered up, until you die - are born again - and decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy!
Happiness is a journey, not a destination."

I am a 24 year old female, 5' 8", 135 lbs, in great physical health. I was prescribed 90 1 mg Ativan tablets for severe anxiety to last 30 days.

I went through the whole prescription in 12 days! I only drink about six times a year! I've never even smoked cigarettes! I have just had such horrible anxiety recently that I really was having problems. Now I'm really screwed. I've gotten horrible "rebound" anxiety so bad I wasn't able to work today. I've started sweating really bad.

How long will this last? I had my last dose about 28 hours ago. I feel like ****.

I would just like to say that so many people choose to eat healthy. In doing so many select healthy foods such as can good foods, Health dinners as Lean Cuisine etc. But if you take a look on the back of the package the sodium level is very high. I was told companies put so much salt in the food to preserve the food is that true?
