A couple of months ago, I was diagnosed with having Hypersomnia and am currently taking 350mg of Provigil, which has worked exceptionally well to keep me awake during class, work, etc. . After further reading of hypersomnia, I had realized Restless Leg Syndrome was the cause. Ever since I was about six, I've had the symptoms of RLS: tingling feeling, urge to move, only goes away when moving or concentrating on something else like video games. The thing is, it occurs to almost ALL of my muscles not just legs or arms, but my neck, fingers, shoulder, calves, etc. I wake up in the morning just the same way I went to sleep. I feel like I get no energy at all from sleep. What am I supposed to do?? I also haven't had the time to check in with my neurologist lately, but plan to do so soon for asking about RLS. What can I do sleep-wise to help me? Also dietary?

Everynight I have to take Benedryl so I can go to sleep comfortably, but if I skip taking it, I start itching all over and this is only right before bed each night so I have to get up and take two capsules just to get to sleep and stop itching. Is this a problem I have made for myself or should I see a doctor about it?

I constantly bite my nails and cuticles until they are stubby and bleeding and they hurt! Any suggestions on how to stop? Don't say that nasty tasting polish, that is just gross and don't say chew gum because I am as I type and still chewing my nails. I'm too old to have this bad habit!

I've been fighting a sinus infection. As I have no health insurance, I have to rely on OTC for medicine. Pharmacist advised combo of Afrin (nasal spray) and Claritin (antihistimine), and I improved 90%.

But I still have a cough that is not connected to congestion - feels much more like a bronchial muscle that's in the habit of coughing. I thought an inhaler might be good to calm it down - but the cautions scare me. Even though it's OTC, directions say don't use if your doctor hasn't told you you have asthma.

Active ingredient is oxymetazoline HCl 0.05%.

Anyone have any experience using this? Any advice?

There always seems to be a gas build up and you have to burp, then. What is it about laying your head on the desk that makes that happen?

Is it true that a person with black skin has fewer layers of skin, which means muscle tone is much more visible than a person with white skin?

I am not sure where I heard this and have no idea if it is true. Can someone help me out please? Thanks x

I recently gave up smoking, although when I smoked I relied on the stimulants you get from smoking a cigarette to aid my very bad level of concertration when I am working. Now I decided to give up, my work is suffering. I dont get as much done as I used to, and I get really easily distrated. I dont really want to use that as a excuse to give in to the cigs, but its utter torture at the moment. I have drunk more coffee, taken regular short breaks but nothing seems to help. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can use to improve my concertration?

I got a lot of veins raised above the skin surface right where the leg is joined to the foot (I don't know if I should call them varicose veins), ad I just happened to get pierced on one of them (is that what you call a splinter?). Problem though is I couldn't see the thing that pierced me (all I felt was a sharp pain that wasn't an insect bite or anything), so I just blindly scratched at the affected area to get whatever it is that pierced me out. I don't know if that worked or not, though, so I'm asking if what I did was right (not likely) how do you deal with those things and what are the risks if I don't get the out of my body and if they stay in (can they travel in the blood vessel and clog something or cause bleeding?)

I have this strange feeling in my left arm (now a little bit in my right). It started off as a dull pain through the top of my arm, which started at about 7:00 tonight (it's now 1:15 a.m.), since I've gotten home (12:30) I also have a tingling sensation, and a little numbness, and sometimes my muscles will tighten up. I can also feel it in my fingers. It's kinda freaking me out.

Some additional info: I'm 18, have never had any other problems like this before, but spend a lot of time of the computer (but I just got on for the first time today).

Hi. I just have a question, in hopes of someone that might have experienced this can answer.

About 2 or 2 and 1/2 months ago I started to experience this wierd, almost like presure feeling on the back of my head (left side) almost by my neck sometimes it feels like even further up, it just depends. It dosen't hurt, its just an annoying feeling like when I lay down to watch t.v on my left side and my head is on the pillow I often find I need to switch sides just to stop the annoyance. I went to my doctor with the concern of a tumour, and he felt around and I told him about my symptoms, and he never said anything, except for my neck muscles felt a bit tight. I have no other symtoms aside from what I have explained.

I was just wondering if anyone would have any idea what could be going on like if it could be a pinched nerve or something like that..Thanks.
