They didn't think there was anything wrong with smoking until like the 50's or something, so since the technology for cell phone's is still new, we don't know if there are long term effects. Most people probably didnt' start using them till like 10 or 15 yrs ago and most are young people. Is anything getting done to see if problems are going to happen in the long run from cell phone use?

i have these spots on my legs. they're red and some of them have white heads like zits, but some are just bumps. at first there were just a couple, but they've spread to both by legs and they heal, but it seems like every day there's at least one new one somewhere on one of my legs. does anyone know what this could be and what i should do?

Sore throat (starting to go away)
Occasional blood in siliva
pimple like bumps/rash on chest
white coating (with a little yellow) on tongue
occasional and small easy brusing

Could this be from stress or an antibiotic I was on?

I can give details or answer any questions you may have to give you a better idea.

Every night I get between eight or nine hours of sleep. That is, I'm in bed with my eyes closed and lights off. I don't sleep very well. I tend to wake up a few times every night. Once in a while I do sleep straight through the night. However, my dilemma is, no matter how much sleep I do get, I always wake up feeling like I haven't slept at all. I go through each day feeling unrested and exhausted. I'm on medications for epilepsy, and both have sleepiness and fatigue as side effects, but if I've been on both medications for years, wouldn't the side effects have worn off by now? I was anemic, due to another medication I was on, but I stopped taking it and am not anemic any more. My job requires me to be very active during the day, so I don't spend the day being lazy. I know it isn't normal to be this tired every minute of every day. Does anyone have any advice?

i wanted to try acuvue advance for astigmatism contacts, so my mother said she'd order them. On the website, she was entering my perscription and there were two numbers she couldn't change. My perscription had different numbers than the numbers listed, but she ordered them anyways. I think the numbers that didn't match my perscription were the circumference of the contacts, but i'm not sure. Should i return the contacts?

QTips help, but they don't seem to be good enough. Is there some kind of product out there to clean your ears with? It seems like it would make sense. I mean, we don't just use a toothbrush to brush our teeth, we use toothpaste too. What else can I clean my ears with?
