The other day I was in the shower and I was rinsing out my hair and got really dizzy and light headed. I closed my eyes and I kinda like blacked out. I had to get out of the shower and lay on my floor for about 5 minutes until I felt better. Does anyone know why?

I am 15 years old and about 2 years ago I started cracking my wrists. I feel no pain or anything like that. But after I stopped cracking them, they crack more easily now than before I started cracking them. For example, simply moving them side to side seems to crack them. This might be a problem for me as I might start Wing Chun which is a martial art that involves alot of weird wrist movements. I don't want to hear cracking constantly.

Is there a way to get rid of the cracking noise? I think it's the ligaments or something that crack because unlike bubbles I can crack them many times without delay. Also, would exercising my wrists and grip with things like powerball(that cool ball which is hard to hold) or those things which you squeeze to strengthen your grip reduce this cracking?

ps Don't bother saying that cracking causes arthiritis, as there is no evidence to suggest that

I am suffering from lower back pain (just mild so nothing really to worry about) when I get up in the morning, has anyone tried one of those latex 'memory foam' mattress toppers? Do they work? are they worth it?

Thanks

I'm 21 and i work for a drafting company. i work from 7 to 5 everyday during the week. but i have friday afternoon off. but i'm also a full time college student, so i go to my classes after work from 7 to 9. i talk with my boyfriend every night before i go to sleep. so i basically only sleep 4 to 5 hours a night. and during weekends, i just want to go out. so i sleep about the same or even less during the weekends. and on top of all this, i'm always stressed out about work and school. i know it's not good. but what exactly is so bad about not sleeping enough? what's gonna happen to me?

i have a red small puffed part on my bottom eyelash of my right eye. it hurts when i close my eye & force it shut. it also itches. on my bottom eyelash its all red & the red small puffed part is towards the inside (next to my nose). my eye also starts to crust @ certain moments. & it hurts like someone punched me on my eye. this is not the first time it has happened. something similar happened a couple of weeks ago. but instead the red small puffed out part was on the outside of my eye. & it would also start to crust & it was harder to open my eye (like my eye was closing in). another similar incident also happened last year in the summer. but my top eyelid swolled up & kept closing in on my eye. everyone thought this one happened because of the abundant amount of chorlene water in the pool. & the other incidents happened cuz maybe i touched a cat & rubbed my eye. but i haven't been near a cat in so long, & that i can remember i haven't rubbed my eye, either.

Most nights i lay down to go to sleep and it's usually at least 30 to 45 minutes before i actually fall asleep. My mind is either going a mile a minute thinking of all sorts of things, most of them nonsensical, or I'm tossing and turning from left to right every 5 minutes or so because i just can't get comfortable!

It's not that I'm stressing over anything because my thoughts never revolve around any one thing; they're just random. It's like a burst water main that i can't shut off. :-(

Can anyone give me some advice before i go to see a doctor?

OH, i should mention this... i have a cousin who's a pharmacist. I mentioned this to him and he gave me some tablets to try whenever i felt like this. They worked like a charm and i really slept well. I researched them on the net and discovered that they were anti-epileptic tablets. They basically slowed down the electrical impulses in the brain. No wonder why they worked so well! (Epilepsy also DOES run in my family...)

I realize how convoluted this can all be. I've been in touch with several doctors, nurses, health-care agencies, and a Medicare rep. All I can say is the information I've obtained has been sketchy at best. Mom is in final stages of cancer and a related rare disease called amyloidosis. She requires full-time care now, and we've hired sitters to help us, but we can't do this for any length of time. She's not currently under hospice, although she certainly qualifies for that. Thank God pain management has not been an issue, but having people who can help take of her now that she is becoming totally bedfast is a major issue. Does anyone know who we can contact that might have some answers and help us wade through all this mess???????? If any of you have had any experience with home health care and Medicare, I would certainly welcome your input as well. Thank you!

I would usually get a migrained every few months or so, for a day and sleep would help. Well this past week I had a very stressful experience with my tires being slit on my new car, and vandalism, ect...ever since then i have had a migraine every single day. so severe and no tylenol or headache reliefs or even perks will help it go away. i dont wake up with it though, but it sets in a few hours later. im really worried and concerned, its bad. ...i dont know if its related to that stressful event or something else, but my gosh, should i be worried?

I don't completely understand health insurance as I'm still covered under my mother's.

When a person switches health insurances, what constitutes a pre-existing illness that they will not cover?

For instance, I'm on a few medications so will a new insurance company not cover those specific medications or any medication used to treat the overall condition?

If either case is correct, is it possible that a doctor can sign something that says the person must stay on that specific medication so that the insurance company must cover it?

For example: I have GERD and am on Prevacid and Reglan. If I change health insurances will they change the medicine to something else like Nexium or will they not cover any medication having to do with GERD at all?

I did something really stupid just because i have been really depressed lately I didn't know what to do with myself. I took either 21 or 22 (I can't remember) of my 10mg aderroll and I feel horrible. I am really sick I feel like I am going to throw up my body is weak and my arms feel wicked heavy as I type. I am so tired and dizzy but I haven't hallucinated. I took them like 3 or 4 hrs ago. I can't tell my mom or dad because they will like send me away to a crazy institution! I am just so scared and don't know what to do but I can't got to the hospital because they will find out. What should I do? Please help
