I was wondering what all I can do to increase the high, and decrease the nausea. Would taking a Dramamine beforehand work? Should I take vitamin C along with the seeds? I need the most information as possible.

Well, I've done it plenty of times before and I don't know why, but when I go anything over 20 hours without sleep, I get hyper and just bounce off walls. Shouldn't I just be tired?

I have been having right and left side flank/abdominal pain and I need to know what to do. The pain reaches to my lower back and groin area. I hav noticed that the pain is also in the rectum area.
I have been to the doctor and she found no infection so she sent me to have a CAT scan and I am waiting for the results. There has been blood found in my urine. What is this problem?
I have been suffering with this for at least 1 year.

Its worse in my neck, and at the base of the skull, upper neck i guess, and if it doesnt hurt all the time, i get shooting pain, or it feels like somethings being tickled inside, like nerves or somethin. Its been goin on for about 2 weeks, and i havent been able to see the doctor yet. Anyone had this problem before?

I had my thyroid removed last April 2006. It hasn't been followed to closely. My doctor increased my dose of Thyroid but felt it would need to go up more. I have a blood test tomorrow again. I'm having a lot different symptoms right now but no health insurance so I haven't been to the doctor. I'm more tired than I think I should be, It feels like something pushing up into my chest but that happens randomly and it makes me cough sometimes when it does happen, it comes with a little bit of pressure in my chest, I have pain in my right side that hurts all the way through to my back(randomly), my skin is dry, constipation, circles under my eyes. That's just to name a few. Has anyone had issues like these after having thyroid surgery. I realize it might not be related to that but I have this feeling it is. Naturally I wish I had health insurance and could see a good doctor. Hopefully a good job will come and give me my insurance back. Thanks for sharing your experiences!

I am particulary looking for answers from those who smoked for decades. After you quit, did you ever get to the point where you went a whole day or even a few days or a week without thinking about smoking? How long did you smoke and how long after you quit did it take you to get to a level where it was not on your mind?

I joined a gym and had to stay away for a couple days because I worked myself hard the first couple days there. I am going back tomorrow but I need other ideas to do other than smoke (or eat). I really am trying hard not to start again.

Three times throughout the day today - once in the morning, then again in the afternoon, and again at night - I experienced the feeling of small bubbles(like gas) forming at the top of my stomach, right below my heart, and then my heart starting beating rapidly for almost 30 seconds each time. Could it be indigestion? Or anxiety? Or something more serious?

For the past week and half I have been staying up way past my usual bed time. I get caught up doing crochet or reading that time passes and even though I feel tired i cant go to sleep. My husband's sarting to think that is that I just dont want to lay next to him in bed, but I really just dont feel ready to lay down and close my eyes. My minds racing and I just want to finish the book Im reading or finish another row in my crochet blanket. Mind you Im not that old Im only 27. I* can go to bed around 2:30 am and still wake up at 6 am like nothing, but when 12:30 pm comes around Im ready for a nap. What is this?? I dont want my husband creating his own ideas as to why I cant sleep when I should. I love him very much and besides we're newly weds!!! Of course I want to lay next to him in bed, I just dont want to wake him with my constant "toss and Turning". Help????

I dont think its a big deal but i just want to figure it out. I recently had surgery that left me off of my feet for a few weeks, and now my lower leg hurts deep in the muscle. When i lay down sometimes it hurts so bad i cant even stand it. When it starts to hurt sometimes my foot goes numb, not for very long though. Its like a dull throbbing feeling down in the muscle. Also, sometimes my knee hurts to. It doesnt always happen when im laying down, sometimes when im up on my feet at work it hurts so bad i feel like i'm gonna fall down. Any ideas???

she is 65 years old and her hearing is not so good...

she is one of those ladies who looks very good for her age, she is always dressed very nicely and she told me that she tried on a hearing aid and she does not like the way it looks... she is self conscience about that, so she decided not to use the hearing aid.

everyone always has to speak louder or repeat themselves..

and what is also bad is that my dad is 75 and he gets tired too because he always has to repeat himself like 3 times...

is there anything i can do?

are there any "fashionable" and comfortable hearing aid i can get my mom?

thank you!

i usually get headaches for no reason at all. sometimes i will get headaches just for being on the computer or watching t.v. or simply just because i just do..i can't really explain why i get them. and sometimes, they are so severe that i feel like somone is pounding on my head, punching me, and kicking me in the forehead at the samte time...and sometiems i get headaches (like axes to the back of my head.) sometimes it also gets so severe that i get dizzy, and wheni get up i start spinning (well actually the room does.) and when someone asks me a question or talks to me out loud, i blank out for a second. and don't tell me to go to the doctor, i don't think it is quite that extreme. i just can't stand it, it gets in the way of my daily life. oh also, when i exercise i also get MAJOR hurting headaches...my parents say it is because i am hungry, buti can't be hungry all the time. can i??please tell me why this is happening..and help me prevent or treat it. sorry its so long btw. THANKS!!
