Other - General Health Care - August 2007

For the past week, I have had such a problem falling asleep. It's still summer break for me and I'm 16 years old. Normally in the summer I stay up until 2:30 - 3:30 AM chatting with my friends, texting, IMing, watching TV, listening to music.

For the past week as soon as I get into bed, I have such a problem falling asleep. If either sleep on my stomach or on my back.

I normally sleep easily, and I sleep like a baby. I don't know what it is, but I can't fall asleep. I'm basically under no stress at all, I'm 16. I don't have much to worry about.

I close my eyes & try to clear my mind & focus on falling asleep, or if I see just like black with my eyes closed, I just focus on that. I try to relax myself as well.

I don't like milk so I won't drink hot milk, and I don't want to drink before bed.

Any suggestions for me to fall asleep easier? I just want to fall asleep in like 5-10 minutes, but lately it has been taking me 30 minutes at least to an hour!

Thanks!

Every few months this happens and I don't know why. I'll be fine before I go to sleep, I'll sleep for an hour or two, then I will wake myself up scratching, just digging in my skin, I itch all over. Sometines it's just my legs, this time it is my whole body. In the past this has gone on for a week or so then it ends. I sometimes take benadryl, and sometimes it helps. Someone suggested it might be connected with mites but didn't elaborate. I have changed my sheets, I have vacuumed, I have even vacuumed my bed. I haven't used any new detergent or soap. It's not fleas, I don't have flea bites, my cat is indoor only and even so she is on advantage. What could this be?I can't get any sleep! My mom thinks it's just nerves. (Oh yeah, no mosquito bites either.)

In tennis, I stepped wrong and dislocated my knee. When I fell, I caught myself with my hand. I was in so much pain in my knee, and couldn't see straight for a good ten minutes. They had the trainer come and help me up, check it out etc.

A couple minutes later, my hand was really sore. After a while, I couldn't move it from side to side. Within ten minutes It was bruised and I couldn't hold it up. I was in so much pain that I forgot about my knee.

About an hour and a half later, I had to go to the ER, I couldn't move my hand and it dangled weird. They said that I probably broke it, but wouldn't see it on the Xray for a couple days, the calcium had to fill in the crack for it to be visible.

They gave me a semi-hard cast to keep it stable.

Yesterday i was in excrutiating pain all day, today it is low, aching pain. Does it sound broken? Would I have been able to move it at all? Or is it common to stiffen up? I broke my arm before, catching myself as well.

What do you think

It has to be the meds it is a side effect and says not to use alcohol with it. I never thought about mouthwash casing this. Should I make myself throw up? What should I do?

I recently started taking vitamins (D, C, and B6) and seen that my urine has turned dark yellow and smells. It's embarrassing to even ask but I don't know what else it could be! I drink water, tea, and green tea and I'm cutting back on soft drinks. It doesn't burn when I have to go and my stomach doesn't hurt. What could it be?

I have obviously beaten the habit because I am wearing Invisalign and therefore there is no way i can bite my nails. My nails are extremely short compared to a person who doesnt bite their nails. And they are in a really weird shape.

I say realistic because i remember in heath class, the idea was beaten into our heads that if you smoked even one cigarette you would die a horrible death.

So any real heath concerns. REAL.

Every once in a while, while I'm combing my hair (such as putting mousse and hairspray) my left hand tingles. Why is that? It only happens on that hand, and when I'm doing my hair?
