Sometimes,particularly when I'm stressed out,when I go to sleep,even though I'm very tired before falling asleep I start having sort of jerks which wake me up immediately and then I find it difficult to fall asleep again.
What might it be?

My left leg is constantly achy...feels tight and tired. There are no obvious signs of edema. It has become an effort to walk, especially in lifting of the foot. There is not significant pain, just extreme fatigue. I do have sciatica in the OTHER leg, and am going for an MRI this week to determine treatment. I've read the sciatica only affects one limb - but could if be a possibility that it is affecting my other 'good' leg? Geez...I HATE getting old (46). Thanks for any ideas. Have a good day.

My girlfriend picks at her fingers incessantly until they are raw and bleeding. She is not very aware she is even doing this and claims she can't help it. Her fingers are disgustingly raw, sore, and sometimes bleed. I've suggested getting help, informing her doctor, or just wearing gloves to no avail. This behaviour has been apparent to me for almost 6 months now. What to do??

I grew up in Philippines and i am here now in Denmark for a month. I found it abnormal but during this winter season or something like 2 deg. Celsius ambient temperature, my nipples feel a small sharp pain. What could this be?

i just went to one and he adjusted my back and it was amazing. he said that the nerve being crushed from my back being out of line was the nerve controlling my stomache. he asked if i was experiencing any heartburn or indigestion and i laughed because i've been having a lot of heartburn and tums didn't help. then someone told me that they aren't considered doctors. huh?

In less than two weeks I have a concert that I am singing a solo at and right now I have a runny nose, sore throat, and am losing my voice. Last year this happened and at the concert I could barely sing. I do NOT want this to happen this year. What are things I can do to get rid of my cold? Thing to eat? Things not to eat? Things not to do? Got any great ideas. I really want this cold GONE.

Thank you so much!

I know someone whose legs are all swollen, his feet are bloated and has sores all over his calves that are bleeding. He makes 8 dollars an hour and cant even take a day off work and has no insurance. Im so worried about him, and he says that he just has to let it be because he cant even go to the doc for a check up to see what is wrong. If he goes to the emergancy...they will hit him with 100s of dollars worth of bills he cant pay. He called Social Services and they said he wasnt qualified. what should he do?

I sprained my ankle yesterday, in gym. it's swollen and hurts. I also have a bruise on my right knee.
Tonight, I have a huge winter ball. The swelling is pretty bad still. Is there anything I can do to hide the bruise and make the swelling/pain a little better? I really want to have a good time, and so far things are a mess. Can someone help me, please?

He has never eaten vegetables in all the time I have known him (17 years) because they give him a terrible upset stomach. I worry because I know that veg is pretty much the most important food nutrition-wise and even though he is not in dire straits at the moment I am scared his not eating veg will catch up with him and make him unwell. It is not possible for him to eat them, or even drink veg juice to compensate because he cannot handle the stomach problems he gets when he does. What I want to know is what should he do about this? Is there some other thing he can have to substitute veg? Will anything bad happen to him? Also, if there is anyone out there who is in the same boat and cannot eat veg, what do you do about it?

There is an open sore on one side of his throat. He was swabbed for strep throat last week and it came up negative. I'm wondering if he got strep right after he was swabbed, however... The sore isn't white. It almost looks like a kanker sore and the area around it is red and irrated. Is that possible to have a kanker sore on the opening of your throat?
