I'm an RA at my college, and I was wondering why college kids are so sleepy? When I'm living at school I can sleep a constant 12 hours everynight, even if I don't have classes for the day. Why is this so?

its been almost few years since i am taking prilosec OTC. 1 a day every morning, it was prescribed by my physician i was told that its safe to take prilosec OTC for long period of time. matter of fact on the back of the box it says (stop use and ask your doctor if you need to take this product for more than 14 days) so has anyone taking this medicine for more than 14 days? and is it safe to continue use of this tablet for very long period of time? any input would be appreciated!

I have had a 2-3 year long soreness and uncomfortable feeling around the shoulderblade, upper pectoral muscles/underarm, and lower rib. only on my left side. Rolling out of bed i feel like my left pectoral muscles are tense and my left nipple feels heavy (funny sounding but true!) Walking down my stairs, as the muscles bounce up and down, something just feels different of my left side of my body! As for my shoulder, its hard to describe the pain, because it is not sharp and unbearable, it is more an dull/sore uncomfortable feeling. most of the day it is an unfortable feeling that is more annoying then painful. however, I can make it hurt by pushing my shoulders forward or stretching them. as far as the lower ribs, it is mostly uncomfortable while im laying on my stomach. it feels different then the right side. i really would appreciate some medcial insight to this! im 25 years old a smoker since 18. (altho i have cut the smoking alot over the past 3 years) I have also gained about 30lb

I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and can't exercise, so normally I should gain weight because of that. But I'm getting thinner, losing fat, I've gone down a clothing size...and yet I've put on 7 kilos...I don't understand what's going on. The scales aren't broken by the way...so it's me. Can anyone help please?

I've heard stories of people claiming to cure themselves of cancer through the power of thought and wondered if anyone with an auto-immune condition had managed to do this, or is it a myth?

I am getting sufficient sleep and I am not under stress. It's just if I lie down after 9pm I WILL FALL ASLEEP. I CANNOT STAY AWAKE, whatever I do.

Is there a medical name for this? Any suggestions on whatever I can do?! Thanks

Dr says most likely a virus, she did a cbc (slightly elevated) and throat and ear test (neg). Says to wait it out. At what point do I get a second opinion?

Seems to go way up when sleeping. She is still alert and eating a little.

If anyone has any home remidys that would be helpfull

I have heard that it is not good to be putting so many vaccines in a person's body. So is it really a good idea to get the flu shot?

I have a painful bump underneath my arm caused by me picking a hair out...i am obsessive compulsive in that area. I hate hair...even after i shave, i still see hair. well, i am learning my lesson the hard way cuz now i have a swollen bump, the size of a golfball under my armpit and it is painful...a lot of people tell me just to put a heating pad on it and it should go down...what are my chances it will?? I do not have medical. If i do have to have them lance it, exactly what do they do and am i awake when they lance it?
