I have lower back pain and I was told a long time ago that I should only sleep on my back and my sides and never on my stomach. Unfortunately sleeping on my sides is painful and I don't know why. That leaves lying on my back as the only option. The problem is that my back feels super uncomfortable after 20 mins and I start tossing and turning.

Anything I can do to feel more relaxed on while lying my back?

I'm posting this question for my 23 year old son.

He wakes up every morning with his hands and feet extremely cold. He said it takes about 30 minutes for his extremities to warm up. He is very tired and unable to really focus or concentrate.

He can sleep for 12 hours plus and still not feel rested.

Sometimes his feet really itch and burn in the morning as well.

Any ideas? I've told him to see a doctor, but right now he does not have any insurance. So, any suggestions would be helpful.

thanks

Well, I'm a guy, 18, and 5"10. My weight varies between 170-175. And I got somewhat of a michelin tire thing goin on, so I'm guessing I'm not at the weight I should be at.

What should I be at, and when I get there, will there be flab (extra skin) from losing weight?

I asked a similar question a minute ago. I believe I will get better answers if I include some of the embarrassing deatils.

This happens when I am on top, and not with positons where I don't have to do much work. I am fine untill I get up and start to look for my clothes. It starts out as my ears ringing and then the ringing goes away and I can't hear anything, my vision becomes spotted like I just got a hundred camera flashes at me and then goes dark, but I can still see, its just as if all the lights were turned out. At that point, if I haven't sat down I'll fall, and I'll be like that, deaf and almost blind for 5 minutes or so, all the while there is a strange painful sensation in my chest and head, and my skin tingles. It is so scary, Every time it happens I fantasize that I am about to die, and it scares my boyfriend as well.

What could this possibly be and what is the most eloquent way to bring this up to my doctor and express my concern without coming off as a hypochondrac

Extra Details:

My Friend Smoke On and Off for 5-6 months.
He's going into the Military Around June 27-July 1st
He smoked 2 blunts yesterday...and promised it was his last.

His Drug test are in 70-95 days from now.
If he Stopped Yesterday FOR GOOD (hopefully like me) will he be able to make it.. since they shave all your hair off anyway >.>...(he doesnt have to worry about the hair test..plus he's getting a really low hair cut.)

Will he be in the clear if he drinks ALOT of cranberry juice from Today on until he leaves?? or Vitamin Water (he doesnt like reg water)

i have sat with my legs crossed at the knee probably starting when i was around seven now i am fourty. i cross them every time i sit down, and always with the same leg right over left. eventually after a long period of crossing, my top leg gets numb. i have heard that crossing your legs can cause vein problems, back problems, and hip problems, i dont have any at all, but is this true that it is bad? do you cross your legs also? and are you aware it might be bad?

Excluding any hangovers or drug related hazes (if that's your thing) left over from the night before.

Are you a "wake up and go" sort of person. Or does it take you about two hours and 12 cups of tea before you can even string together a useable sentence?

I have them and it's a pain.

I've tried holding my breath, chugging water, drinking water to the best of my ability up side down, eating a teaspoon of sugar, breathing exercises, and roller blading down a busy street with my grandmother in her thong.

I don't have any peanut butter... I don't know what else to do. It's so annoying.
