I work 12 hour rotating shifts. I really find it hard doing the night shift for 4 days @ 12 hours. I feel tired for days after coming off shift and by the time I recover I have to go through it all over again. Is there any strategies I could use to firstly stay awake on night shift and then to regain energy when off? I have done it for a whole year and it seem to get worse not better...help.

I just got over the stomach flu roughly two weeks ago, but am now experiencing what seems like the introductory phases of nausea again. What could be causing this? Is it possible to get the stomach flu twice in the same month?

I've been getting this constant headache for going on my sixth day now. I've tried Advil and Sinus Medicine, but neither of those worked. I live in Phoenix, is there something going around? Or could this be something more serious?

I am facing something very difficult and am wondering if anyone has any knowledge about this or has ever faced anything like this before:

I have been having terrible gastric problems for over a week now. Have even posted on here for advice. Very painful, strong gas, bad diarrhea, stomach pains, etc.

In addition: as of two days ago I am having sudden difficulty with my left hand. I cannot hold anything in it without dropping it, cannot type (I type 85 wpm...always have)...It is as if I my mind will not let my hands do what I am telling them to do.

As I mentioned in my earlier posts about my stomach, I am 2 weeks from my health benefits. I did check...this new company will not consider giving me them any sooner. And I am in no position to go to a doctor before that time.

Has anyone ever seen anything like this? Stress???

Could there be a connection between the two situations? Which strike me as utterly different and impossible to connect?

Any advice? TY!!!!

I live at home with my parents, I will be 20 in may. My boyfriend, who proposed during the christmas season, basically lives at my house. Its been like this for about a year and a half, and until recently it has been working just fine. We both love eachother very much. Because of his crazy work schedule, sometimes sleeping together is the only time we get to spend together (And i do mean litterally sleeping).

Recently though, when hes in the bed, i Can not fall asleep! I'm restless, not tired..etc.. On the nights when he has to work until 3amish and i'm in my bed alone to sleep...i'm sleeping within a half hour of laying down.

I dont understand why this is happening all of a sudden (probably since the end of January). We have not been fighting, actually - our relationship is at an all time high....going stronger than ever!

Any suggestions on how to get a better nites sleep while sharing the bed? Or suggestions on how to not be so restless?

We took my son to the emergency room because he fell and lacerated his head. After about 1 1/2 hours, we were out. All the doctor did was take a tube of skin glue, hold his head together and rub it on.

Now we just got the bill and it's $600!! (That's combining both the hospital and doctor fees) Can someone tell me why in the world are medical expenses so high, where does all this money go??

I just got to work and rubbed my eye and my contact came out. When I put it back in, I noticed a tiny tear in the side of it. Obviously, I'll put in a new one when I get home, but my question is how long will it last for today?

I live an hour away from work and I'd REALLY rather not drive home to replace it and try to explain that to my boss. Do you think I can wear it the rest of the day?

I can see just fine out of it, and can't notice the rip while I'm wearing it.

I have a thriving business that could earn twice as much making me very wealthy if just pulled my finger out and did some more work!
I have two wonderful kids, unfortunately i cant say the same about the missus but she's ok.
So how do you draw inspiration to become exceptional in everything you do?
I Always seem to do just the bare minimum or less. This often creates unessecary headaches etc. and yet i dont learn from my mistakes much?

So what can I do to get myself Motivated, organised and productive. After all i dont think i will win the lottery.

In my house, we have this room that we call the "Sun Room". Its a room where we keep most of our plants, its very earthy, and theirs windows and a big glass sliding door covering 3 out of 4 walls.

My question is, will i get the same effects of the sun from sitting in this bright room as i would from being outside? Can I still absorb vitamin D even though the sun is comming through a window?

Also, I do suffer from depression, not as badly as a few years ago..but every now and then i do get into depressed moods. It tends to be more in the winter and its probably caused from lack of sunlight. the SAD disease. Can sunlight through a window possibly treat this? or again, does it have to be DIRECT sunlight?

I know that too much sun exposure is no good...thats not a consern of mine. My main consern is that i'm not getting enough sunlight to produce the good effects.

I'll try 2 explain a little better this time. he is taking the right amount. but the thing is that when he is on them he is fine he is very healthy but the problem is that when he mises them even 1 day he cant function get gets very tired and cant think and i don't think it can be healthy to have that much of a dependence on vitamins. the things he takes are a liquid vitamin supplement, a vitamin c with hesperidin complex its a powder thing you mix with water and a thing that adds oxygen to your water. that is all the info i can give last time i listed the actual product and they would not let me post it.

A genie appears before you and says that he can guarentee you a long life (say 110 years of age), but the price of this long life is that you will be grossy overweight. If you tell the genie "thanks, but no thanks", you will remain slim, but will be dead in ten years.

Which do you choose?????

I would like to buy sea-buckthorn as dragees, not as skin care product. I could not find any supplements in the big organic shops such as Fresh & Wilds and Hollands & Barrets. Does anyone know a good online/shop address?

This started happenning about 3 weeks ago and was not gradual. I just woke up one morning and had stiff painfull fingers and this has persisted since then. I am not taking any medication now nor have been in the past. The suddeness of it is what alarms me. I am 56 and in good health otherwise.

I shower twice a day almost every day of the week. Is this bad for you? I shower at night because I absolutely hate going to bed feeling dirty, and then in the mornings I shower because I sweat in my sleep (or the skin on my body produces a lot of oils, not sure which one) and so I don't want to go to school feeling icky, I like the clean feeling.
