It's pretty cold where I live right now, so we've had to have our heat on all day and night. It's making my nose so dry and uncomfortable it burns when I breath in through it. Is there anything I can do? It's the worst when I wake up in the morning. Someone told me I could open my window just a little bit at night and this would lessen the drying effects and still not make my room too cold. Is that true?

Any other advice is appreciated. Thanks.

I am 22 years old. For a couple of months I have had numbness, pain (lots of it), and pins and needles feeling in my hands, wrists, and arms. All of my fingers or half or one will hurt and/or feel pain or pins and needles. Sometimes the pain occurs at the same time in as the other or only on one. Sometimes the pain feels like a band tightly wrapped around the arm. Sometimes I get a creepy, crawly feeling on the same spot on the middle back. I get stabbing pains in my toes.

I have been constipated and have been doing careless things at work. Last night at work I left my till open and walked away, didn't realizing it till my manager remarked on it. I have been having bad headaches and nasuea.

I have an appointment with a neurologist on Monday. This whole time has been debilitating for I am no longer able to do my former job. I am on light duty. Could it be a pinched nerve in my wrist? Does anyone have any suggestions on what this all could be?

I just had it done yesterday! and they found a hiatal hernia and 2 polyps. They removed the polyps but the hernia is still there. Does a hernia ever go away and when does the pain do away?

Please no sarcastic comments like "quit smoking" He is addicted! He is quitting, but stopping an addiction takes time. He is smoking 1/5 of what he used to so i say he's doing pretty good. but he has a drug test on monday and will go to jail if he fails, how do we keep it from showing up on the test?

And once I get to sleep, it wakes me up several times a night. We have a 3 month old that I have to get up with, so I'm literally not getting any sleep. We've tried everything, even the Dr. said there's not much we can do about it. Any suggestions?

Can I still get sick, I drink almost a gallon of water per day, take my vitamins, & wash my hands many times throughout the day, how can I still get sick? I work in an office, my co-worker said a mutual co-worker just got over the cold or flu or whatever, but I wash my hands all the time and all the water I drink wouldn’t that flush any germs out of my system? I work & go to school full-time I cant’ afford this right now, I mean I have the sick time to take but I have so much home work? Can I really be sick? I woke up w/ a sinus headache it went away on it’s own & now I feel like wishy washy like I spent all day in the pool & just got out. What could be wrong w/ me?

I have a desk job. Actually a call center so i am answering calls all day. I am so tired and sleepy everyday because I have a newborn and a 6 year old. I work full time, take him to cubscouts, doctor appts., I am trying to close on a house. I am trying to file bankruptcy. I am trying to watch movies and play with my baby when i get home while at the same time feeding him and the family while trying to help my older son wth homework.

Halloween was in the middle of the week, so i stayed up late and I am exhausted. I also got some muscle relaxers, pain pills, and xanax the other day because i found out i have fibromyalgia which makes u sleepy too.

I dont drink energy drinks, coffee, or do i take wake me up pills.

So how can i keep my head off my desk at work. I literally fall asleep while i am on a call at work.

and I have vaginal spotting and very sharp pains in my side. I'm not due for my period for some time now. I have been crying and outrageously stressed since about 10:30 and it's 3:00 am now. Should I be worried about the bleeding? Should I go to my doctor?

I'm really concerned for my husband. He's been waking up in the mornings with splitting headaches in the base of his head, and sometimes they last more than half the day, Today he thought his nose was running but it was bleeding. He went to the doc the other day to mention it and the doc is setting him up with a catscan to check things out but I'm really scared...as his brother had spinal tumours that gave him horrendous migraines.. Could this be just a sinus problem? Or ......something horrible? I'm terrified. I'm also about to pop with baby number 1 in about a week and I dont want to have him get really sick on me:( I need him.

ok... So let me try to explain this..... I started smoking in 7th grade, but then my parents caught me and then I stopped. but ever since then, I sometimes I just want a cigarette.And lately I have been smoking. It takes me a whole week to finish a pack (I'm 19, so I buy my own pack). Well my question is.... Am I smoker? Cause I can quit anytime. I'm stressing out right now. and I only smoke by my self. None of my friends know.
Serious answers please!!

Thank you.

For 5 or 6 year i have been addicted to oxycontin, the problem is i keep going back to the opiates after i quit, the withdrawal is long and nasty and after the physical withdrawal has left it is like my brain is in a state of depression where i care about nothing, i am so lazy i cant even cook or clean, cant eat cant sleep, i am basically useless, i would be alright if this lasted maybe a week or two but like i said months and months. it is literally like i have depleted all of the dopamine in my brain permanently so therefore i live a vicious cycle day to day, recently i went on the methadone program again. I i am on a low dose.I want to have children , my doc said that if i am this low it is likely that my baby wont have withdrawal at all and i ran into a new mother at 40 mls whose baby was fine and went home the next day after born, does anyone have any experience with quiting or having baby on meth, thanks

Still think you aren't already paying for someone else's care? That is the average tax burden for each household from medcaid/medicare for illnesses caused by smoking alone.

I started getting a cold last week, when the weather went from 75 and sunny to 50's and dreary. It started out with the typical stuff - sore throat, small cough, lost a little of my voice. About 3 days later, it started going away, and I thought that was it. Well, it's been a week since then, and I've still got the cough. I have tried everything. It always gets worse when we go to bed at night, and I either wind up staying up another 1/2 hour to 45 min trying to stop, or wake up later for the same time period doing nothing but coughing. Now, this is bad enough on it's own, but I'm only getting about 5 hours of sleep because of it, and that is just not enough for me. I wind up going to bed around 1 a.m. when I have to get up at 6. I cannot even lay down for a nap, because by the time I stop coughing, it's time to get back up. I've done everything I can think of to get this to go away, with no avail....Any suggestions??? I would really appreciate any help! Thank you...
