Sometimes when I go to bed I will start into a sleep but after a while my legs seem like they are crawling. They feel like they are cold but they are not really cold to my touch. this doesn't happen all the time but when it does happen I may go without any solid sleep for several days and it just makes things miserable. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

my niece thinks she has worms in her stool i have heard of that but i also heard that if you have worms the symptoms are hunger, itchy bottom esp at night, and loss of wt.. well she says she has the first 2 but not the wt loss in fact she has gained some wt lately so could this really be worms or is it just something sh is eating that looks like them? and also if you do poop them out do they move or are they dead? i am srry i know this is really gross but she cant afford to go to the dr and i am not sure what to tell her

I had an abdominal hernia repaired exactly 1 month ago. Would it now be safe to go to Disneyland and ride the rides? I wouldn't want to tear anything but my kids really want to go tomorrow. I could call my doctor but this seems like such a dumb question!

Thanks for the advise.

I switched from cigarettes to roll ups a few years ago, and each roll up i smoke is about half the the amount of a normal cigarette. Cigarettes seem to smell stronger and last longer. So, in other words, does cigarette tobacco have different qualities to rolling tobacco? Thanks

I do not qualify for Medicaid or Medicare, as I am married, but I am not on my husband's insurance policy as it was way too expensive. Can I get any type of help in NC for medication costs or doctor costs?

Even after a full night's rest I feel so tired waking up in the morning! It normally takes me 3-4 hours after I've woken up to feel "awake". Then like at 6-7pm I'll feel really energetic and have trouble going to sleep. Does anyone have any ideas on how to feel energetic in the morning? How about feeling rested? Thanks to all and have a happy new year's!

i often wake up and directly go straight to my laptop and read the news, before showering and eating breakfast. I find this is a good way for me to get myself to wake up early because I love surfing the web. Is this bad for my eyes though... they seem to feel weird lately?

I am only 21 but have been suffering from lower back pain recently. Does anyone know what could be causing this or any exercises that could improve the pain. I am thinking it could be bad posture, but again this just started happening this past month. Help!

It seems like no matter what I try, I am tired all day and I get a second wind at around 10 pm and then I can't fall asleep for hours and I wake up exhausted. I can sleep great on the couch with the TV on in the afternoon after work, but even if I DON'T take that afternoon nap, I sleep like crap in my bed and toss and turn. WTF?

I've tried every herbal remedy, valerian root, triptophan, kava, melatonin---you name it, plus all the over the counter crap which just makes me wake up in a haze, which I do anyway.

I've tried Ambien and Lunesta before and they work like a dream, but I don't have health insurance right now through my new job, so that would mean paying for a doctor visit PLUS $150 or whatever the prescription costs.

Help?

For those people that work 3rd shift- typically having a 10 hour shift 4 nights a week- that would normally sleep during the day and have a hard time doing so- I have heard that people CAN'T make up sleep from lost. My friend has really broken sleep patterns, but on his days off, he sleeps like 16 hours because he is just exhausted from his long work week of overnight shifts. Is it just a fallacy that sleep CAN'T be made up?

My friend/roommate has been 87lbs since she was 8yrs old. She is now 37yrs. She is not anorexic as far as I know and is not a fitness person either. In fact she is pretty normal. She is about 5'4. We talk about this but she is sensitive with others about her weight and lies at times (saying it is more) to avoid remarks.The dietician told her she has a high metabolism. This maybe true but is it possible that something else is not right?

Nervous,because i hate Needles.

Not worried about the pain - because i know it won't hurt much.

Just the idea of a needle going into a vein. eek.

very squeamish.

I work in a bar, get home about midnight then go to bed. I fall asleep quickly but seem to sleep for about 12 hours and struggle to wake up early after my 8 hours. I've tried setting my alarm clock but i just ignore it. My eyes feel heavy and i'm really struggling. I feel so guilty because i know its not a good lifestyle. Has anyone had this problem? How can i change this because I'm really sick of sleeping all day? I feel sluggish & tired all the time. My diet isn't that magnificent, i eat twice a day. I look forward to your suggestions.
