I am in my last month of pregnancy and going nuts I know this is the time where sleep is the most important to have because of the upcoming labor and that I need my rest for the big day. I cant get comfortable and can't fall asleep right away I can get into bed by 10 or 11 but don't get to sleep untill 1 or 2. Nothing major is on my mind that you would't expect out of a first time mother. But I also have insomma and use to take lunesta and had to go off it when I got pregnant so its been hard then it got better but now its hard again.
I am about ready to go nuts 6 to 7 hours of sleep with the interruptions of peeing every hour or two or my son kicking me or my sciatica acting up Im good if i get 5 hours a night. I cant contune to do this I'm pushing myself through the day at work is tylenol sleep aid ok at this time just so that I'm well rested for that big day.

Just ran out of insurance, buying drugs online. What is the difference between Hydrocodone/APAP and Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen. Basically generic vicodin with tylenol, but why is there a selection between the two with different names?

Opinion please?
I would do it but I don't trust the system. They will kill you if someone offers lots of money for that certain organ. Not selfish but protective!

Whenever I do situps, THIS part of my back aches, and feels weird:
(the red dot)


And just this morning, for a minute or two, the blue part was where it was hurting, but this was the bones.

After the red part started hurting, I began to put a cushion under whenever doing situps. And I've been sleeping a mattress the last few weeks :p

I found out on Thursday that I need a spinal fusion operation for a severe case of Scoliosis. It is a 78 degree curve, I have tried tons of other things (Massage Therapy, Physical Therapy, the Chiropractor) I went from 43 to 78 in just a few months. What can I expect from the operation?

I also have Cerebral Palsy. Will this change the outcome of the operation?

I was in a car accident, supposed to die, my small instestines were cut in several places by the seatbelt, which it took them a week to figure out and found it in exploratory surgery, and I didn't wake till after over two months in a coma. They said, the surgery, where they cut me from under my breast all the way to my private, busted back open, while in the coma and had to go in and do more surgery. Since then, I've had operation after operation putting mesh in my entire abdominal wall, which breaks open all the time, so it's like a yearly operation I have to go through, and it's necessary, because without the mesh, my internal organs have no protection. Just wanted to know if anyone out there has had this, and if there is something else they can put besides mesh so I don't have to keep getting all these surgeries.

Ever since i was little, i'm 14 now, i've walked on my toes. It's caused my ankle to be in pain ALOT, and where there is supposed to be a little bump underneath your ankle, mine is double the size because I think one of my bones moved from toe walking. I've gone to the doctor about this before, and I was supposed to get X-rays, but my parents said they didn't want me to get it. But latley my ankle has been in so much pain. And I've tried to walk normaly, but I can't for very long. My moms friend had the same thing, so he got his achilles tendon stretched, and it helped him. But I don't want to go through with that. So is there anything I can do?

I've tried every brand and version of those worthless plastic/spongy ear plugs from my local Blooms and CVS and they don't do a thing whatsoever. Is there anything out there that can block every sound out completely? Like maybe some small earphones made just for this purpose?

It's my second pregnancy and I have never suffered from musclu cramps. I've got them twice in the two toes next to my big toe and woken up every morning for the last week with a cramp going down the back of my calf, alternating sides. My whole calf tenses up and I can't move it. The only thing that helps is holding my toes and pulling them back. I've heard that a lack of salt causes muscle cramps but my diet hasn't changed at all so I'd like some advice
