I just want to see if i will be doing any damage to myself by doing this! and if so what sort of damage!
I know when the foot goes to sleep it is the nerve endings freaking out .. and I hear some of can cause poor circulation!

Its my birthday tomorrow and I'm just wondering whether I am officially "old" yet.

Would be interested in how old you think is old, leave your age if you will.

Thanks

I suffer from back pain!!

I had an mri scan and there is damage to the L4 & LS discs.

I can’t sleep at night and I’m becoming more and more frustrated, I am taking muscle relaxers and serious pain med's to make it through most days.

I'm in physical therapy 2 days a week, and try still be active...taking walks but don't want to push my luck and hurt my self further.

Have tried to remain positive, but lately my self esteem has been low due to pain and lack of quality sleep.

I feel so tired.... It’s as if my day is over before it’s begun, I'm 29 and feel 60!!

I don't really like shots and the thought of one in my spine scares the crap out of me!!

I was just wondering if anyone has had these cortisone injections in the lower back, and what the experience was like.....

Did they hurt??
Feel any improvement short term or long term??
How long did the improvement last??
Feel in a worse condition after the injections??

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer me!!!

It's like sometimes my dreams become intertwine with real life. To the point that I can't tell what's real or not.

Anyone besides me have any memory of being in their crib. I remember my father would sit between my crib and my sisters bed and one hand would be rubbin my sisters arm so she could fall alseep and his other hand would be between the crib bars rubbing my arm for me to fall asleep easily just the same. I don't think I can remember anything before that. I also remember the day I got my new first bed. I was upset. I wanted my crib back and they told me its outside on the curb for the garbage men to pick up. I looked out the window and sure enough I remember seeing it out there all broken up into pieces and i started crying. by the way im 24 now.

You are feeling extremely drained, dehydrated, what do you do to take care of yourself and how long does this feeling last ?

I have three meals a day plus snacks in between and yet I still have a huge appetite. I'm 29 years old and at my ideal weight and height so can't figure out what's causing this and I'm NOT pregnant.

At each meal (and snacks too) I always have both protein and carbohydrates, but just 2 hours later I'm ravenous again and when I'm hungry I feel weak and nauseous and irritable. (been checked for diabetes and thyroid - everything is ok).

Any ideas??

Every time I open my mouth wide to chew big or talk sometimes, my jaw kind of locks and then makes a click sound before it shuts. Is this a serious problem waiting to happen ?

Okay, this is probably the worst experiance I've had in my life. Yesterday, June 5, I noticed that I have constipation. The reason is that I ate too many sunflower seeds. Unfourtunately, the seeds are VERY pointy (like a porcupine up your butt) and extremely hard to pass. What should I do to stop this?

This is for a statistics project that I have to do for my math class. Im comparing age and gender to a person's body image, whether it be high or low. My hypothesis is that the younger a person is, the less self confidence they will have and therefore, a lower body image, due to how they are more influenced by the media and other influences and because they are still growing in to their bodies. Thanks for you help!!

Why, why oh why do patients insist on turning the wrong way during an exam? I've had patients that turn left when i say to execute a right face. I've had patients when I say put the outside of your leg down, they try to do the opposite. And please tell me this, why do patients come out wearing the gown opening to the front? I mean, I even typed up instructions for the darn things. Please help.

Whenever I take a Rolaids, Tums, Pepto Bismol or any antacid, I end up with a black tongue and the taste of charcoal in my mouth for a day or two. Ironically, my mom says when I was little and had the croup all the time, the doctor would give me crushed up charcoal tablets to take. I don't know if the two are related, but what causes this?

You know my big problem is that I'm LAZY! I've got plenty of great ideas, I'm intelligent and capable in many respects but I'm lazy.

Now I fully expect people to say something like "get off your lazy *** and do something then" and, in truth, that would not be bad advice. What I really want, however, is to WANT to get off my lazy *** and do something. I need to find the kind of enthusiasm and drive such that I wouldn't need to push myself.

Am I just asking the impossible or has somebody got the answer? Please tell me!

I know about epilispsy and only 1% of sufferers have photosensitive epiliepsy where watching a flashing picture may induce a seziure. It was reported on the news last night that the logo had caused 34 people to have a seziure.

This is a bit high considering the small number of people it would affect and they would have to have been sitting watching the whole show of the new logo and why wasn't therea warning aired like there is with everything else?
