I don't want any creams, but I was wondering, can the black circles under the eyes be caused by lack of sleep? Is there any alternative medicine I can use to erase them?

My best friend's little sister has a little boy a little over a year old. She's a young girl herself; 16. The other day I went to their house to pick up my friend and while I was waiting for her to get ready I went to her sisters room to chat, and saw her giving her little boy a small piece of a pill at least thats what it looked like, I asked her what it was and she told me it was melatonin but a small dose; I asked her what it was for and she said for him to get sleepy so she can go out and he wont wake up her mom, so she can stay out longer... WTF?!?!?! So I talked to my sis about it and she says to talk to her about the dangers of possibly killing her son... I talked to my mom about it and she says report her to DCF (children & families) I havent told my best friend because I dont know what to say to her and don't want to approach such a serious subject the wrong way... something needs to be done... will it hurt the baby if I wait to get my plan going? HELP! WHAT DO I DO??

I am a telemetry nurse looking into traveling. I plan to stay at my current hospital for another year so I can get into the ICU and have more experience. Following this year I want to travel and have looked into a few companies and talked to some recruiters. Any personal experiences? Company recommendations? Locations? I know I want to go to Alaska and then try to spend some time on the west coast, i.e. WA, OR, CA. Any help/info is greatly appreciated

It doesn't happen too often, but when I'm asleep sometimes, it's like I half-wake up and can't breathe nor move. It's like my whole body goes completely stiff, and feels like my mind is awake (sometimes I can even open my eyes) but like my body is still asleep.

I'm 20, and I get my tonsils out next week due to having constant sore throats, trouble breathing while I sleep, and never feeling rested (I am always exhausted). I'm sure getting them out will help with this weird sleeping thing I have, and I plan to ask the doctor about it, but was just wondering if anyone would have any ideas about what I might be experiencing.

We once thought maybe they were seizures as a side effect of one of the meds I'm on (Wellbutrin XL) and I have had one in the daytime before. Or does it sound more like sleep apnea?

Thanks for any feedback!

We definately already plan to see the doctor ASAP. It appeared a couple days ago and seems VERY painful. My husband thought it was a spider bite and popped it and tons of pus oozed out and now I'm wondering about that incase it is a boil-I heard popping a boil can cause worse infections. Can anyone help with home remedies and such? Thank you!

Recently, about 4 days ago I discovered this lump on my back. It's located on the lower left side of my back. It's not on the spine. I noticed it when I was about to lay down on the bed and felt this discomfort in my back. I quickly got up and felt it and was this lump. It's hard. I'm going to the Dr. this evening but, what could it be??

I saw a number of similar questions on Y!A but I wanted to know if this is normal and if there is a term for it or a name? I have terrible insomnia and stay up all hours of the night usually not falling asleep until 10 am the next day. I have attempted many times to stay up for 24+ hours (Up to 48) In order to try to correct this, even some very heavy sedatives. None seem to work. Regardless of how exhausted I am during th day, when it becomes dark, I wake up. Then cannot get to sleep. My Doctor and Psychiatrist are absolutely stumped. Has anyone heard of this or have a name for it?? I would greatly appreciate it.

I suffer from ulcers terribly every few months. I'm fit, heathly eat a well balanced diet, but every so often I get them and about 4 or 5 at a time in my mouth. I think it may be due to stress or lack of sleep as we have a new born, but i may be wrong. Is there any way I can prevent these. I obviously use bonjela when I get them.

I don't know if I have water retentions, but whenever I drink more than usual, the next day I weigh much more. This is especially annoying since I am dieting. I admit that I use a lot of salt and don't really drink much, not more than maybe one pint of actual fluid other than in foods. What should I do? Cut the salt and start drinking 2 litres a day? But then I would gain so much weight with all that water in my body. And I can't live without salt.

Overuse injury in my elbow! PLEASE HELP!!!?
I have an overuse injury in my arm. It's little leaguers elbow. I need to know how to treat it (more than RICE) and how I can repair it. Will physical therapy help me at all? I am just finishing up my track season (I throw shotput, javelin and discus) and soon I will be participating in softball. I've been told not to do it but I really want to. Every time I throw I get an intense pain on the medial side of my elbow. I love sports and I would absolutly hate to give them up but if I have to I will because I want to be able to play tennis in the fall.

PLEASE HELP ME!

So, like I've always been four eyed. and I'm thinking of finally getting contacts. My mom doesn't approve of them, so i plan to pay for them myself. Does anyone know which type of contact will be best for me since I don't have a lot of money and I don't think i'll have a lot of time to clean them out...

one more question... Since its my first time, would it be better to just get them online or go to the optometrist? like i know my prescription and stuff...

Thanks

My eyes burn all the time, to the point I look like Im crying. It just happens randomly like 3 or 4 times a day. I dont even touch my eyes I will just be working or walking outside and it starts burning. It happens in the winter to so im not sure if its allergies. So to get to my question does this happen to anyone else and what do you think is the cause, its been happening for quite a few years and im getting tired of it. I get yearly eye exams and the Dr has never said anything to me.

COOKWARE; copper, stainless steel, & aluminum,& Teflon are poisonous over a period of time due to toxic levfels of metals (i.e. chromium & nickel) they produce. CANNED FOOD: Lining of the interior of cans use the substance Bisphenol A. This contributes to prostate & breast cancel, cystic ovaries & endometriosis.

My boyfriend was always a smoking, and I hated it. He finally said he would stop for me. He was a really heavy smoker, used to smoke about 2.5-3 packs per day. So he wanted nothing to do with patches or gum, so he's gone cold turkey. However, since he's quit (its been a day and a half) he's become extremely sick. He started off getting extremely hot and sweating, then would get very chilled. He's been coughing constantly, and he's now started throwing up. He's very weak and can't stand up well. He hasn't eaten (or even dranken much) since he quit, and is afraid he won't keep it down. I have never seen him this sick before, and feel terrible. He keeps asking for a cig to make it go away, and i refuse, but its getting really bad, and i hate to see him suffering. should i give him one, or is there anything else i can do to help him? i'm there for him, but i just feel terrible.

* Ooooh yes! according to my studies, for the followings:-
1- semen has the essential materials to create babies with all of their various organs.
2- Semen is the most beneficial material the human body can produce.
3- Semen is more beneficial than the female's milk, so semen creates babies & milk is supporting them to grow up.
4- A dose of semen is benefiting all parts of the human bodies.
5- Allow 20 minutes before having any breakfast, so not to be fouled by other food materials.
