Please help: a lot of nights I sleep so heavily that I sleep through my alarms in the morning and I oversleep. It doesn't seem to depend on how much sleep I get or what quality it is, and the problem isn't that my alarms aren't loud enough. I have six alarms, but many mornings they just don't wake me up.

What can I do to ensure I wake up on time?

i twisted my ankle last week and its still quite painful. it is quite tender if touched or knocked and hurts when i walk. should i bandage it up to restrict its movement or just leave it alone and take some painkillers? i work as a teaching assistant so my job is quite active, which doesn't help when i'm trying to rest my ankle up!

also, what is the best way to bandage something? does it need to be quite tight or will that just make it worse? any other remedies welcome!

I am a low income citizen and I have always payed cash to go to the doctor. I am making as much as a person can in my field without going to college, but my job does not offer health insurance. How can I get information on free health visits. The last time I called the local health department they said they only help out with parenthood stuff. Besides needing some good pain killers for cramps that I cant afford because my tubes are tied. Especially what my doctor prescribed to me, how can I get more info. on all this free stuff. I live in Columbia SC.

Ive been to the ER twice, they did tests for pancreatitis appendicitis & gull stones. What else could it be? It hurts just to breathe. It feels like I have something stabbing me from the inside out & it just keeps getting worse & worse. Please help, the Drs are acting stupid like they dont have time.

Went to the dr. he said he does not know why it is my right leg since it is left nerve impinged. Released me to work only restriction on lifting. I am wondering if I have other options he is setting me up with a surgeon.
I had no restrictions (still had problem) a couple of weeks ago when I applied for a better job (it requires lifting) Now I am concerned I should not take it as I am in the midst of a comp injury. P.S I currently work for a temp agency

I was wondering if anyone has experience with this, a sharp pain in right side upper chest and shoulder, with ajoining pain in back, behind shoulder blade, with occasional pain/numbing or weakness to right arm and hand. Don't know if I just pulled something or if it is more serious. The sharp pain in upper chest/shoulder comes and goes... and is annoying at bedtime. Any help?...

I have gotten 2 bloody noses (maybe 3) in the past couple months. I never used to get them, I'd say the last time was 10 years ago. And it is in only 1 nostril (my right). Any particular reasons? I don't pick my nose as I've found on the internet could cause this. Are there any causes like a high salt intake or high cholesterol? I do have high blood pressure but it is regulated with a prescription.
