I am finally going to do it and I need practical advice from people who have been there. Please don't send a bunch of links because I won't check them out. I am also against substituting one addiction for another (gum). I prefer to do this without any kind of "medicine".

I'm your typical college student and don't get enough sleep (around 5-6 hours a night). But every so often, I get 8-10 hours a night. Unfortunately, I still end up with black "bags" under my eyes. Sometimes, I wake up and feel even more tired with the 8-10 hours instead of 5-6 hours a night. How much sleep should I be getting and why is the extra hours not eliminating the black "bags" under my eyes?

I have been smoking now for 24 years. I want to quit so bad. I woke up yesterday morning and was so disgusted with the taste in my mouth I decided I did not want it anymore. Even though I had a carton sitting right in front of me. I did so good for the whole day. I almost made the 24 hour mark. But I gave in last night to this disgusting thing that has control of me. I don't have any physical withdrawals, it is the mind. It was driving me crazy. I am also trying to lose about 40 lbs and I am afraid that if I quit I will gain more weight. So I thought that I would lose the weight first then quit. But I think killing two birds with one stone would be better. Instead of being miserable twice, why not try both at the same time.

Please does anyone have some REAL suggestions for me? Maybe something that worked for you? Thank you for your time and Happy New Year to you all.

My husband has been out of work for a little over a year , he is on very strong pain meds and will be having back surgery. He also has an aortic aneurysm and a few other things. He has seen a medical doctor and three orto doctors who all say that he , even with surgery will not work again. He gets a small disability check thru his employer. However , when he applied for Social Security he was denied. According to the letter, although is is deemed disabled by his physicians, there team of medical professionals has determined he is not disabled. Are they telling me that 4 very fine doctors are wrong. And their team of professionals consists of nurses and physicians assistants. We now have a lawyer who says it is a waiting game. They do this to push people to give up and go back to work or hope that the terminally ill will die before they have to pay out. This is so wrong. My husband has worked 40 years and never asked for help, he has paid for this benefit many years. Any thoughts?

I dont know why I was stabbed, I was in the middle of biology class when the guy next to me grabs his pens and stabs me in my left arms, it bled somewhat.

It now has a scab and there is red around it and the upper part of my arm before my elbow feels very stiff as if someone was holding it back.

Yes, I know the best answer is "lose weight" but I need to know....if you're overweight and end up with a backache or other aches on a regular mattress/bed, what kind of bed has worked better for you?

I may have squatted in some poison-ivy. While out on a walk through the ravine with my dogy, I had to pee, and so I squatted, indiscretely in the bush. . . Now my butt stings somewhat, since last night, the time of that walk. . .
Any suggestions for ease?
Please no jokes here, I am earnestly seeking some advice, will this just go away on it's own, or?

I recently healed my hamstring on the right leg from a sports injury, (although still acts up after running) but now my left one is killing me. I haven't done any sports related things in four days and it just occured today. I haven't done anything out of the ordinary that would disturb my leg.

Has anyone ever experienced head pain. The last two nights I was up and couldn't sleep, and it felt like my head was hurting and I felt it wanted to explode. I had to put a cold pack on my pillow before going to bed to cool down the discomfort.
