The problem is I go to sleep get 6-10 hours of sleep go to school or work come home and sleep 8 hours am up for a 4 or so hours and sleep again. I sleep 50-75% of my day away. however during the time I am awake I keep busy mostly. Ive even had days where i dont work and or go to school and I can sleep 20 plus hours, only waking once to urinate. This is not normal at all not even for a 23 year old.
I can rule out depression. I am on anti depressants and have been for about 3 or so years. I have asked my doctor and every time he seems to tell me his daughter does this and sleeps alot, but I really dont care if his daughter sleeps alot, I care that this is ruining my life at times and interefering with my classes and I sleep in and miss school, etc.
I dont know even how to go about seeing different doctors. I have HAP and the only doctors I can see have to be Henry Ford associated here in Michgan. I have been tested for diabetes as well as enemia. Nothing ever comes up on blood tests?

like they are superior to everyone else, especially their patients? it makes it very intimidating to talk freely with them.

I'm only 20 years old and it seems like my parents who are 59 and 61 have more energy than me. Granted I don't really exercise a huge amount and don't take the trillions of pills they do, but I'm only 20! Why am I constantly sleepy? 95% of people my age are able to have "three girlfriends" (school, work, and female friend) and spend time with all of them. Me, all I have is school (and I'm only taking 12 credit hours at that). Even with only 12 credit hours I'm barely able to survive... I have three days of classes a week, M/W/F, and each day that I am at university (I commute to it from home)

I'm so exhausted that I'm able to sleep as long as 14 hours afterwards (so that I pretty much do nothing on tues and thurs). I don't think this is normal, even if I don't exercise or totally do things as healthy as I should.

I'm not really in bad health though... I am optimal weight and look decent, have had some ear problems lately but nothing else that I can think of.

P.S. just a few weeks ago i had constipation problems, and now its diahrrea!

I am sixteen years old and my doctor told me that my cholesterol was high because it was 205. She said anything below 200 is ideal. I became pretty concerned and confused because I run daily and follow a very healthy diet. This "bad" news traumatized me slightly. I don't understand how my cholesterol level can be high if I'm normal weight (93 pounds, and I'm 5'1) and I eat healthy and exercise daily?? Can anyone explain any possible reason(s)?

Two days later, his ankle is more swollen than when the stinging actually occurred. He says it may have been three yellowjackets total. I'm a bit of a hypochondriac and am wondering if the delayed swelling is anything to be concerned about.

If I look at things with both my eyes open, I see good. If I look at things with just my left eye, I see really good. But if I look at things with just my right eye, it's a little blurry. I haven't been to the optomatrist (spelled wrong) yet but I will soon in a week or two. Anyone know why this happens and is this bad?

If you have Aids and you stop having sex, Aids will still be in your system. If you are an alcoholic and you stop drinking, alcohol will no longer be in your system.

Besides that, most diseases have medication to treat the disease. What do you do to treat alcoholism, take medication? No, you stop drinking, that's how.

A word that is commonly found in the definition of disease is "involuntary". But when you drink alcohol, that is voluntary, not involuntary!

I also believe that many alcoholics will say that they have a disease because that takes some of the responsibility off them so they don't have to be responsible for their actions.

What do you think?

I am really sick and in a lot of pain. when I got this bad a few month ago, my doctor perscribed me with Tylenol that has codeine in it. I never took it, because I hate drugs and whatnot and I know you can take codeine just for a high which I didn't want to happen.
Am I going to be really out of it if I take one? How does it feel? and what happens?

My hubby comes home from work everyday and drinks 2-3 glasses of wine a night. He says there is nothing wrong with it, and that Europeans do it, and it is just fine.

But I think he is ADHD, and uses the alcohol to relax. The doctor said he is too old to take ADHD medications, since most people his age have learned to cope with the nervousness. So he refuses to do anything.

His whole family is hyper and nervous, and going to their house is insane. His mom starts drinking wine at 4, but doesn't stop until 9. His grandmother is an alcoholic and nuts. His dad only drinks occasionally. The whole family grew up drinking with dinner, I believe.

Should I be worried about him? I do admit I come from a family that NEVER drinks so maybe I am overreacting? When does someone become an actual alcoholic?

I've experienced this half of my life, and I am only 20. I have shortness of breath continuously and I yawn excessively in hopes of trying to obtain more air-which is always unsuccessful. When I was younger the shortness of breath was so bad I would resort to a brown paper bag to help and try to control my breathing. Numerous trips to the doc office and they said NOTHING was wrong with me, no asthma, no anything. I am 20 and still experience it. I wake up continuously in the middle of the night, and I mean CONTINUOUSLY. I burp a lot and I think that comes from trying to take in so much air. Doctors have tried to say things like I have gas, anxiety or panic attacks but I disagree. I haven't seen a doc about this situation in quite a while due to the face that every time I went before they shrugged me off telling me nothing was wrong. I've even woke up in the middle of the night feeling like I'm gasping for air. That one isn't as common, but it does occur. Please, I need advice!!!
