this began since 2nd week of october. at 1st it seems ijust got unswallowed food, then after few days i thought it was tonsil cos it was so painful so i drink vinegar added with water. the following morning, the pain was gone but still it seems or feels like i have a blockage or swollen throat or unswallowed food in my throat. it isnt really painful but it does a real discomfort in me specially when i swallow... and even when i move my body around, say turning my neck, bending, reaching out, lifting/pulling/pushing...

I've been having insomnia probably since late September or early October. I just can't fall asleep until 1:00 or 2:00 am everynight, and yet every morning I get up at 6:00 am to go to school. This leaves me tired and irritable the entire day. It's affecting my schoolwork, my concentration and my memory. It's getting very frustrating. I don't abuse caffeine, alcohol, drugs, cigarettes (or anything that is smokable for that matter), sugar or anything else that might make it harder for me to fall asleep. I'm not an exercise buff, but I do P.E. at my school and walk up to a few miles. Basically, I just can't figure out how to get more sleep. My parents are convinced that I really could fall asleep if I "tried" but I HAVE, I've laid awake for hours. They just don't get it, and therefore won't get me any sleep aid. Is there anything out there that isn't prescription only that I can get? It doesn't have to be drugs (although it'd be nice), it could be tea, or anything that works. Please help!

I was given a LOT of dairy products by WIC and in an effort not to waste them, I've been gorging myself on milk, cheese, and eggs. Now I have this terrible smell coming from my posterier region. It's pretty embarassing and because I'm very pregnant, I have little control over what happens with my bodily functions.

Is there any natural remedy or food that I can take for gas?

Since Thursday, I have ben feeling severely fatigued, blacking out, and just plain weak. I have also been getting headaches and chest pain. I went to the doctor today and they determined that I'm just overworked and tired. It feels like something more. Any ideas?

I'm not a nurse, but I work long shifts which are ruining my feet! I heard that nurses' shoes have good cushioning, so I'm looking for recommendations for the next pair I will purchase. What brands and models do you like, and why? I find that sport shoes like Nike are not cushioned enough any more, even with gel inserts, probably due to my many hours of walking on hard floors!
