Other - General Health Care - April 2007

Promoting Better Health Care instead of prescription drugs. For example: Lunestra--helps you sleep through the night? Commercial asks if you can't stay asleep; if you toss and turn and can't go back to sleep?
Why aren't there any Public Health Ads educating people to exercise more, eat better to sleep better or be more fit? Especially since obesity is now a national epidemic, for example.
FDA could do ads. Why don't they?

I am lookign to buy one of these mattress because I suffer from alot of back pains following a bad car accident. I wanted to know your opinion, do you recommend, do you feel more relaxed in the morning, do you get a good night sleep?
My physiotherapist says that whatever anomalies we have in our posture (I have a curvature in my lower back) this mattress will support, instead of correcting (my back should be placed straight, but this mattress would encouragemy back to curve), this is why I hesitate. Also, does it keep the shape of your body over time (like after 6 months of using the mattress every night), or the mattress always regain its original shape even after having spent so many hours sleeping on it? I would imagine the weight of the body to form a crease int he mattress, does it?
Thanks so much

Since the very morning that the time changed to daylight savings, I have been so tired in the mornings. I can't seem to get going like I was prior to that. I go to bed at the same time everynight, but in the mornings instead of waking up rested, I can barely make myself get up. My husband is feeling the same way. He suggested I ask and see if we're the only ones, or if it is effecting others the same way. It doesn't seem like it should matter, but we have noticed this since day one!!!

I am referring to non emergency stuff,grocery shopping etc.

my grandfather is temporarily unable to drive..he wants only my mom to take him for a drive every day, or take him grocery shopping, or any other place he needs to go. She has a VERY painful frozen shoulder condition...she told him she needs tomorow for herself, he "said no you cant have a day for yourself EVERY week, you have to be flexible, I might want to go somewhere....." she quickly left his house to avoid an argument.Last weekend he called first thing Saturday morning demanding a ride somewhere.She was in so much pain she was in tears...she told him"I am in terrible pain right now" He answered"Ok, can you pick me up in a half hour?" He didnt even NOTICE that she was crying. The whole family is getting VERY tired of his self centeredness, even though it comes and goes. He can be really sweet for a day or 2 and like this the next few days.He is 73.

Hi, im 15 years old, and this is the first time that this has ever happened to me. Last night i got my period. All day before that i felt really sick, with things such as headaches and feeling like im going to throw up. When i woke up thismorning i didnt feel to great. I had the most horrible cramps i think i ever had. I took some midol and felt better. But only 2 hours later the cramps are back and i cant take anymore becuase its every 4-6 hours. I feel like throwing up, with a horible headache and it wont go away. I dont know if its because if im hungry, but the thought of eating anything makes me feel sick. And when trying to walk up the steps, by the time i got the the top i was short of breath. I also have hot and cold swings. I dont know what to do, im supposed to go on a lil vacation this weekend with a friend but at the rate i am feeling i really dont want to. All i want to do is lay down. Please tell me whats wrong, its really starting to scare me.

I mean go to bed at 9pm at a weekend and will easily sleep through till gone 12 the next day. I know this is really unhealthy but if I don't have that much sleep I'm a nightmear. Also when Im at work I still go to bed about 9ish up at 7 and find myself needing to sleep at 3ish even if I try and fight it. Any ideas what it is and what to do? My doctor just tells me to train myself to sleep for 6 hrs a night. Yeah right, i'm a walking zombie the next day.

I have been very tired lately as well as having tingling sensations in my arms and legs. Also last night at work I got dizzy and light headed and almost passed out. I took my blood pressure and it was 130/100. I know this is high and I am going to have it looked at. What I was wondering is if any one with high blood pressure has had similar or even different symptoms?
