A few friends of mine claim they have a hard time falling asleep without the tube on. One friend says he has to sleep with loud music on because he has night terrors if he doesn't. Can anyone explain this?

I have a lot of sciatic nerve pain and there is really nothing I can do medically about it right now? Anyone else living with it and able to work and have a fairly normal life? I was told to have an MRI by my doctor but my insurance won't cover it and I can't afford to take anymore debt. How do you survive it?

I just cant seem to wake up, I have tried the following things but none of them have worked:

1. Set up upto 3 alarm clocks with some of them really loud that they wake up my neigbours but not me.

2. Have placed the alarm clock(s) away from me so that I have to wake up and walk upto it to switch it off, but I still shut it off and went back to bed

3. Have used a snooze clock, I snooze it for so many times that it eventually stops snoozing and switches off

4. Have tried drinking loads of water before going to bed so that I have to wake up to pee but over the period of time my capacity to retain urine in the bladder has increased and now I can control my pee for hours when sleeping.

Any more good suggestions??

First of all, i play football, it is my life, and i'm not being drematic. About 3 months ago, i had noticed a weekness in my knee, but decided it was nothing out of the ordinary for me, so i just went on, planning to go to a doctor. Then a few days later, we were doing agility drills, and hit and rolls. I hit, i rolled i hit i rolled i hit i rolled my knee. This was nothing out of the ordinary either, i have dislocated my knee cap before, and that's what it felt like. This time i went straight to a specialist. He said it could possibly have to do with a miss fire in my quad which means that my quad just wont move because the ligiments ataced to it wont respond. I got an MRI, and it showed no ters, but now they suspect nerve damage. now i can either keep going knowing that it will give out eventualy, or miss the season. It's a well known fact that the only thing the doctors are willing to do in my situation is rehab, but it will never be better, atleast not %100.

Our doctor took a brief look at my husbands hand and pressed on two fingers, then said it's arthritis. There has been no relief from this pain and just came on about three weeks ago. I'm wondering if the diagnosis is correct. Is this what rheumatoid arthritis is like?

I'm 4 months pregnant and I've had a headache for the past 3 days. The first day, it hurt so much when I would stand up that it was almost blinding. The pain has dimished, but it's constant. The entire top of my head aches. I've also heard a clicking sound it my head lately... strange I know. It's like the clicking sound when you use a computer mouse. There's usually about 1-4 clicks and then it goes away and comes back later. I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday, but I really don't feel like I should go to the emergency room or anything because of this. Has this ever happened to anyone else before?

Im 23 years old, and usually have the feeling like my brain needs oxygen. I get the feeling of tiredness, exhaustion, light headedness when I try to exercise, and just an overall uncomfortable feeling.

I get plenty of sleep and rest, about 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night, uninterrupted, not that much stress in my life or job, I just have a constant feeling of grogyness, which makes my job difficult, makes it so that I cant workout or train my MMA, cant even study to learn something new.

Also I get plenty of water, eat healthy and regularily, plenty of calories, protein, carbs. Also take daily vitamins and a good ginko biloba formula.

Anyone have any advice other than going to see a doctor, if thats your only advice please dont answer to the question, I plan on going when I have more money. Just looking to see if someone else has experienced this, and what they did to fix it for the time being. Thanks everyone.
