I've tried almost every sleeping pill out there (with the exception of Lunestra, which I intend to try soon) - 150 mg of benadryl won't do me any good, and ambien just made me hallucinate. I've been to a doctor for it, but it's not getting any better. It takes me upwards of 3 hours to fall asleep a night, and I can't stay asleep all night, unless I'm really exhausted. It's getting to be a huge problem. What else can I try?

3. If you were a parent of a deaf baby, would you give your child a cochlear implant? Why or why not?

I am 16 years old. How much do I really need per night?

And if I can't get that full amount in a night, how few hours should I sleep so that I am not completely wiped the next day?

As in, I heard that getting 4 hours of sleep will keep you going more than say, 5 will because of something to do with the REM cycle...

he came in today around 6pm (england time) and was freezing, fair enough it has been snowing, he came in and got by the fire ans asked for a hot drink which is unusual for him because he hates hot drinks.

i felt he was acting strange but he said he was fine

he started falling asleep sitting up and looking really groggy, he then fell asleep, and he looked flushed so i took his temeprature and it was 39.4, i woke him up and told him to cool down and gave him paracetamol.

the paracetamol brought the temperature down to between 38.1 and 38.8

i have been chwcking his temperature every 15 minutes and i have noticed its going up and down very quickly.

it went to 39.9 at one point, and the lowest its been was 37.9

he says he feels fine, but i just sense something is not right, he says he has a little groggy throat but he feels himself
he has seemed very tired, he is asleep now but i took his temperature when he was asleep at it is 38.6
is he ok? why is his temp doing this

After I eat, I reach for them but of course, they aren't there. When I'm on the phone, driving, drinking coffee... I can't count all the times I unconciously reach for them. Is there some kind of timeline for certain things to diminish?

I am having a hard time getting it all down. I have found that if I add a little bit of Crystal light for flavor that it’s easier to get it all down. My question is: Does that just defeat the whole purpose of drinking all that water? Or am I still doing something healthy for my body?

If so what? I've bee sat talking to my boyfriend and nothing hes said has made sense (we chat on msn) I feel cinfused and wierd, like it was all a dream, the words jumbled up and my hands got sweaty, they were burning , felt like they were on fire, yet to touch were cold and sweaty. Now i keep having hot and cold flushes all over my body, and still feel as though i'm in a dream right now. Its wierd and quite scarey. I wanted to tell my boyfriend how i was feeling, but i didnt want him to think i was making excuses as to why i'd been wierd. I worry sometimes he thinks i'm using not feeling well as a get out. Since new year i havnt been well you see, ive just been diagnosed with I.B.S thankfully....feeling quite alone right now, sorry to go on.

Suppose you have trouble sleeping at night, you go to the medicine cabnet and pull out a bottle of sleeping pille. The next morning you throw up, diarrhea, tired, migraines, and you aren't aloud to drive till noon. Would it in your opinion be worth all of that happening just to get a good nights sleep?!?!

Please be honest because this is for my science fair project..


Thank You In Advance!

Ok my fingers keep on going numb and turn purplish even when I am indoors, especially my pinky finger and sometimes my thumb. Though I am thin about 95 lbs for being 15 and I know you are shocked by how thin I am. Could this just be circulation problems? And what can I do to warm them up?

So, I have bad breath. I eat a mint. 20mins later, its gone. Bad breath again. Another mint. 20mins later, its gone. The cycle continues. When would one stop this nonsense? What if you are on a date? You cant keep popping in mints. Are there alternative solutions to bad breath? (I have brushed well and have scrapped my tongue. Note: I tend to have bad breath when my mouth is try and the side of my lips have some gunky-ish stuff, sometimes white). Is a mint or gum better? Any recommendations?
