I have trouble falling asleep at night, constantly thinking in bed about the troubles of the day and how im not going to fall asleep (know thats bad but i cant stop it!). i get 7-9 of sleep every night, but amazingly when i get like 3 hours of sleep i feel less fatigued. when i sleep for 7-9 hours its soo hard to get up in the morning and i feel constantly like im going to fall over and sleep during school. basically i feel horrible and its really hard for me to wake up to. when i hear my alarm clocks for some reason i always turn them off (in a groggy + half sleep mood). i feel crappy after 7-9 hours of sleep and im groggy and mean when i wake up and its really hard to get out of bed. help me!

I was at a nature reserve in the evening, and unfortunately, I was wearing capri pants. The next day, I found 5-6 typical bug bites on my lower legs. However, they became very raised, red, and very itchy, and they're very big. Now, they look just like purple, veiny bruises and I haven't been feeling well lately. I've been feeling very fatigued, slight stomachache, headache, and weakness. Do you think I should call a doctor about the bites if it persists, or is this a coincidence?

What if someone's heart sped up when touched by a stethoscope and the doctor thought it was their real heart rate? Some people don't like stethoscopes and such you know... I get kind of jumpy around them, but haven't had this experience recently.

Since mid-January my left ear has had a slight ringing in it and doesn't seem to be working as well as it once did, and as well as my right ear currently is. I'm pretty sure I can still hear out of it, but it feels hollow and doesn't feel like a part of my body like my other ear. It's irritating me. What do you think it is?

Did I mention this cold is really BAD!? :-)
My eyes are actually tearing down my face. I sneeze like 20-30 times an hour and my nose is combo stuffy/runny and just runs on it's own suddenly.
I took tylenol cold/multi symptom- but it almost seems to have made me worse. Why would that be?
I know I am the Mom and should have all the answers- but I just don't know what to do right now. (I haven't overmedicated so it's not a rebound effect thing)
This is one of the worst colds ever.

I was running with my daughter the other day. I kickes a chair my wife was on and she said it moved. My toe took full force and was purple. It got better but now it is turning red again. i think it is pointing slightly down now too. Could it be infected? Should i see a doctor?

It's a tiny fragment of a piece of metal that got stuck in my thumb. It's pretty deep and I have tried pretty much everything to get it out.

Hey there!
Getting my tonsillectomy done in the morning and I have a few jitters about it.
Im sure I can contact my dr, but wanted to see if i could ask someone on here who may have some personal experience!
1) i know not to wear makeup or lotion or anything, but is nail polish *on my toes* ok? Sounds weird i know..but curious!
2)I have a tongue piercing, and was told I may have to take it out for the 1/2 hr procedure. Does anyone know if this is the case or if the hospital will allow something sterile to be put in so it doesnt close up?
3(I have tylenol with codene as well as liquid lortab but Im such a little girl when it comes to pain! Does anyone know of any home remedies that will help?
4) and finally.. and tips/tricks (besides the whole dairy products thing, and eating cold foods and drinkin lots of water..I know that stuff.. but anything else?)

Thanks for any help!
