Answers
1)   Sleep at school. Thats why they make it boring, so you sleep better. – Susan

2)   tak a night time cold pill. or hot milk, i recomend the pill tho – g-d0g

3)   read a boring history book – green

4)   Try answering questions on here for half an hour. It works wonders for me. Also, try a decaf herb tea with honey. Between the two, I am zonked (the technical term for it) in no time flat.

Josh

P.S. If someone says count sheep, shoot the moron – Joshua

5)   I know that peeing in a bottle or cup without a lid can help when putting it on your nightstand.

Make sure it’s pitch black

Don’t listen to music. I thought it helped me, but it doesn’t.

Make up a story with dialogue and everything and imagine what will happen next (:

Don’t think. Just think about the compartments in your brain shutting down one by one.

Don’t drink so much caffeine

Take melatonin. One only if you have it.

Don’t think about tomorrow… Don’t think about past embarrassments. Just think about the present… You are trying to fall asleep.

Read a boring book.. Like the bible. Nothing suspenseful or interesting.

Rub your eyes for a light show!

Im an insomniac -.- – Giuli Ghansiam

6)   Try taking a hot bath

and just relax the more you think about sleep the less sleep you will get

Good luck – Jessi Pooh

7)   For the future to prevent this from happening. Plan ahead 1 or 2 hours for silent time. Listening to calm music can work if you wear headphones. Make sure that nothing keeps you awake like T.V’s light from a computer.

If its truly late int o the night,what i do is do leg exercises. Lifting and lowering one leg then the other for a count to 15 or so, until you feel your leg tiring. This can be done in bed. Or making sure your bed has very soft blankets and such in it. – Lady Tigress

Question 4
Whats wrong with my poop?…  I know this is sick but im a bit worried

in 30 minutes i made 3 trips to the bathroom

1st time my poop was in small chunks like it normally is

2nd It was SO long and it was kinda soft and burned when it came out

3rd I had one half as long same consistency and then a lot of diarrhea

Is this something I should worry about? After the second one my lower belly hurt and I was scared maybe it did something to my intestines or something

Answers
1)   this is the best question I have ever seen.

I have no idea what’s wrong with your poop, but I just laughed my butt off. – Jesus Is Evil

2)   are you a boy or girl?

because if your a girl, then you might be expecting your period. I know this sounds gross but i poop ALOT on my period cuz what happens is, your uterus contracts & makes ur intestines squeeze. therefore poop comes out.

but if ur a boy, then maybe you thought u were done pooping but u really werent. causing u to go back to the bathroom. – PipSqueekRaquel

3)   Probably just something you ate. You have bacteria, protozoans, amoebae, etc. inside your gut. Sometimes, either what you eat has stuff in it that messes with your body or the little microbes you already have in your body OR there is a physical barrier that is removed. SO, maybe you were constipated and then things backed up but then broke free.

I would think one of these two scenarios occurred:

You ate something that irritated your intestinal mucosa (like super spicy peppers, hence the burning (but, the burning might have resulted after wiping from the first time)) or the bacteria in your gut already.

You ate contaminated food. Not all bacteria that you eat that cause "food poisoning" make you super sick. Sometimes, you just get a little diarrhea.

No matter what, I bet that you’re fine tomorrow. You might have one more episode of diarrhea, but you should be fine after that.

DRINK fluids to replace the lost water, though. Diarrhea kills more people each year than you know. – Shane N

4)   LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! – Richard

5)   A persons pattern and consistency of bowel movements (poop) can vary greatly depending on what you have eaten. This is normal. Additionally, some people have stools like you describe when feeling stressed. There is some possibility that you could have eaten something that was a bit too old so that bacteria was starting to multiply. That would resuIt in diahrea for about 24 hours and probably some vomiting too and in most cases goes away on its own. It could, of course, be a viral infection. None of these should be a major source of concern. Buy some Pepto Bismol and take as directed. If the diarhea does not clear up in 24 to 48 hours after you take the pepto or if you develop bloody stools (not just a few drops because that can just be hemmorhoids and is not serious) you probably should see your doctor. – BlessingsMom

Question 2
I have scoliosis and have to get surgery, HELP!?…  I just went to the doctor this morning and my shoulder blades are messed up which caused scoliosis, and tomorrow i’m going again to get a second opinion. I’m 14 and the doctor said it’s too late for a brace so my options are leave it alone, or get surgery. I heard back surgery is very serious and they could possibly mess up. I’m really scared because I don’t want my back to get messed up and everything. But also the good thing about the surgery is I will be more flexible. But I’m just freaking out, any tips?

BTW It’s at like a 45 degree angle. :l it’s snake like.
I also need help because my mom is about to cry because she thinks it’s her fault because she should have caught it earlier. I feel so bad now.

Answers
1)   With ANY surgery, there are dangers. Even having an ingrown toenail removed COULD lead to an infection and require your whole foot to be amputated.

It COULD —– but it probably won’t.

You case is a little more serious, but your doctor is a practiced physician, and either he will do the surgery, or help a friend of his do it. Either way, BOTH are very trained and very skilled. The chances of something going wrong are not zero, but they are very small — maybe a bit more than having a toenail removed.

However, it is a sure, 100% bet that if you do NOT have the surgery, you WILL suffer more later in life. You disease is painful, but not fatal. If you do NOT have the surgery, you WILL be in pain for the rest of your life. if you DO have the surgery the pain will be lessened.

Have the surgery! – Gary B

2)   The muscles are tight in your back pulling on the spine to pull it out of place. You should release the muscles in your back a few times to get them so they quit pulling and to see if it is soon enough so you won’t need the surgery. Here’s how to release those muscles to get rid of the scoliosis:

Back:

(do from a sitting position)

Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder, fingers over the back and the palm in the front and firmly press on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side.

For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed. – Douglas B

3)   it’s always good to get a second opinion, maybe even a third opinion…you and your family also need to understand the benefits & risks – every surgery has risks involved, regardless of how minor the surgery seems. Ask a lot of questions, do research and talk to your family and your doctor about what’s best for you- may also be helpful if you know anyone who’s gone through this surgery before and can talk to you about their experience. Also, research the credentials and track records of the doctors & specialists you’re speaking to, some are much better than others. In my opinion, surgery should always be a last resort, but you’re the person who needs to make this decision for yourself. Whatever you decide on, hope everything works out for the best. I can understand your mom’s concerned about you, but tell her not to blame herself for this, hindsight is always 20/20 and it’s easy to start feeling sorry for yourself. Be positive and you’ll all get through this together. – Mike

4)   You are by no means stuck with scolisis. You will just have to work hard to correct it. You can leave it alone and you many never have to worry about it again. That is very possible. But if you do Yoga your back will align itself properly, it will reverse the curve and youll see improvements in a matter of months. Ive seen it happen. dont let doctors tell you surgery is an option. Surgery should only be done under life and death circumstances and scolisis can be corrected if you work for it. You are young and the younger you start the better. Tell your mom to go to a Yoga class with you or take you to one. – Sepiatone01

Question 3
what is the different in Hydrocodone ibuprofen 7.5mg/200mg and ibuprofen that you buy in the store.?…  My co-worker is taking Hydrocodone ibuprofen7.5mg/200mg and she ask me what is the different in them. I told her i really don’t know , i think they r all the same. So can someone tell me what is the different in them. And what about ibuprofen 800mg , what the different in that. What is the Hydrocodone.

Mary r.

God bless
So how do the ibuprofen 7.5mg/200mg works. Is the ibuprofen a additive drug.

Answers
1)   Hydrocodone is the generic chemical name for "Vicodin". It’s an opiate pain reliever. It works a ton better than ibuprofen… but it’s also addictive. It’s very very very addictive. Do not take them every day. It’s also illegal to take them unless you have a perscription.

Edit: Ibuprofen 7.5mg/200mg means that there is 7.5 mg of hydrocodone and 200mg of ibuprofen. Ibuprofen is not an addictive drug, but the hydrocodone is very addictive. – orestes_returns

2)   hydrocodone is an opiate based pain killer of the morphine/heroin/opium/poppy plant family. It is a controlled substance, hence the need for a prescription. It can also be addictive. – Michael

3)   Pharmacist here and let me clear this up a bit.

First off Hyrdrocodone is not the chemical name for Vicodin, Lortab, or Norco.

Hydrocodone 7.5/ Ibuprofen 200mg is known as Vicoprofen.

Ibuprofen is a Non-Steroid Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID). This takes down inflammation and works on the site of inflammation which is impeding on the nerves thus causing pain.

Hydrocodone is an Opoid Analgesic which is used to treat the pain by inhibiting the body’s ability to experience pain. There is actually no stopping the pain or making it go away. What you are actually doing is making it difficult for the body to experience or receive the pain. The molecules of the drug interfere with the molecules in your body that are responsible for pain.

So in summation the Ibuprofen treats the cause and the Hydrocodone treats the pain.

Ibuprofen 800 taken 3 times a day is a very powerful anti-inflammatory medication. It works great and I take it anytime that I get injured. But the Ibuprofen will probably not diminish the pain to the point that it is tolerable but if it does then that is great. The Hydrocodone is a fairly strong opiod and will definitely enhance the ability to proceed without or with tolerable pain.

Notes: Ibuprofen is an active ingredient and so is Hydrocodone. Ibuprofen is not addictive and I do not think in my years at a pharmacy I have ever heard of anyone getting addicted to them. And Hydrocodone taken for a short period of time is not considered addictive. You are not going to come out after taking Hydrocodone addicted to Heroin or Opium. In short it is a derivative of Morphine. – Anthony

Was involved in a roll-over accident 8 months ago, ever since I have had back pain but when went to be treated?…  For it I thought it was something else.. What should I do? I was passenger in a vehicle of which rolled MULTIPLE times, I escaped with a slice on my wrist. I ended up having to have surgery 4 months later because there was glass in my wrist, and then I have been going to therapy due to what has been diagnosed as PTSD. But, as for back problems what should I do? Can they even prove it relates to the accident if something is wrong 8 months down the road? Please, help thanks.

Answers
1)   this is not right place to find your answer friend … for this consult a doctor – v..

2)   If you are looking for compensation for your injuries, you need to get in touch with a Personal Injury Lawyer. Just be sure that you are not blaming everything that goes wrong in your life from that day forward on the auto accident! If the back injury is truly a result of the accident, you should be compensated. I doubt that the insurance companies would entertain your claim without the help of an attorney. Good luck! – Mary C

Can’t sleep? Blame your spindles

Posted by admin on August 10th, 2010

Some people seem to be able to sleep through an earthquake while others wake up when someone treads on a squeaky floorboard. Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital have been looking into this phenomenon and measuring people’s brain waves to see if they hold the clue to it. When we are asleep sensory information passes through a part of the brain called the thalamus before passing on to the cortex which deals with thinking. Previous research has shown that brief rapid pulses of brain waves called spindles keep sensory information from passing through the thalamus and disturbing the cortex. In their study the researchers measured the brain waves of 12 people who spent three nights in the lab. The first night was quiet but on the next two nights the participants were exposed to increasing amounts of noise until their brain waves showed they were awake. The study found that those participants with the highest rates of spindle activity on the quiet night stayed asleep through higher levels of noise than the other participants.

Sleep, brainpower and health

Posted by admin on August 2nd, 2010

A lack of sleep can seriously affect people’s performance but just one good night’s sleep can more or less restore you to normal. Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania studied 159 healthy adults who had an average age of 30. The participants were divided into groups and were allowed different amounts of sleep. Every two hours, while they were awake, they completed a 30-minute computerized test. Those whose sleep had been restricted were found to have a shorter attention span, be less alert and have slower reactions. However, people’s performance went back to normal after just one full night’s worth of sleep. Another study of more than 30,000 adults in the same journal – Sleep – found that the optimum amount of sleep for good health is seven hours a night. People who had less than five hours a night had double the risk of cardiovascular disease while those getting more than nine hours also had a higher risk.

1)   Some say a glass of warm milk can help you fall asleep. Try it, shut your door, turn off your light, music, tv or computer or anything else causing lights. Shut your curtains, and close your eyes and try and think about some interesting things, maybe make up a dream and go with it for a while and eventually you will fall asleep. – Eric

turn of the lights, close the door and just lay in bed, close your eyes and start praying, just a simple repeatative prayer, just keep saying it over and over again.

Question 2
How do you cut your wrists the right way?…  Cutting is a way of life

Answers
1)   y cant people just get puppys thats where your wrong its not a way of life its a way of death or someone who wants attention – me

2)   Darlin’, you shouldn’t be cutting your wrists, it is not a way of life at all. I’m not insulting you or anything, don’t take me wrong, I’ve done cutting before and now I look back on it and think it was one of the dumbest thing I’ve ever done. You can kill yourself and that is never the answer to anything. Please steer away from any self mutilation, it’s not healthy, maybe you should see a therapist if you’re having thoughts like this or talk to a school counselor or something. I knew it was relieving when I did it but it’s not right to do regardless of how it makes you feel, like I said before, you can hurt yourself very badly. If you need to talk, please don’t hesitate to email me or something. – Josie

3)   You don’t need to cut your wrists.

You will need to read the Bible and you will understand. – edoedo

4)   Wrists are not made to be cut. Cut food instead or take up wood carving. If you have some compulsive disorder please seek professional help before you hurt us as the human family. – Mr. Immortel

Question 4
I can’t understand what people say to me?…  Not that i Can’t it just takes me a few seconds. Ive had this all my life, when someone says something to me i answer, but honestly don’t know what they just told me. It takes me a few seconds , or minutes to get it. Here’s one example- I was at work, and i do Housekeeping. This man comes to me and asks me for flashlights. I said sure ill go see if i can find some. He left and i sat there and went through what he told me and realized that he meant trashcan liners. Went back and that’s just what he wanted. This happens a lot. Anyone can come to me say w/e and ill just add lib and pretend that i know what they say( im really good at it now) and ill have to sit there and think for a second what they just said. This causes problems cause sometimes i don’t translate what they said completely and other times the conversation just makes me look retarted.

Example being- Hey i just had a baby! Me- Ok. …. Me- Oh grats!

And to clarify English is my first language.
I guess it could be ADHD. But honestly i dont have any problem with attention to things. I listen to everything that they say to me, but i cant understand it. I dont have problems concentrating on things ( even though im sure adhd can mean more than concentration problems.) Its like .. i hear them, then answer, then think of what i was told. The immediate answer is just what i do to make sure they know that i know what they said. But i have know idea what they said, just takes me some time.Oh and this happens more often when its someone that i do not know.

Answers
1)   Sounds like ADHD or a processing disorder. If you have insurance, you should try to go to a psychologist who specializes in processing disorders or adult ADHD and get tested. – luckysky18

2)   that is pretty awsomeeeee haha :D i have the same problem just not that often – darkness96

How many calories do you burn when you sleep?

Posted by admin on June 22nd, 2010

Question 1
How many calories do you burn when you sleep?…  How many calories per hour do you burn when you sleep?

Answers
1)   i know its more than watching tv – girlybananagal

2)   You burn 50 calories during the average time of sleep which is seven to eight hours. – CupCakeafer™

3)   If you eat before you sleep you gain calories haha unless you like idk do jumping jacks in yyour sleep? – Austen

4)   Burning calories was much easier for me when I began using acai berry. I acknowledge they say that pills don’t work, nevertheless they sure worked for me, and they’ve been showcased on CNN too. There is a free trial happening currently at http://pitars.easyweightloss2u.info , try it, what have you got to lose? – korella toki

5)   about 500 calories for 7 to 8 hours of sleep – athena

6)   I read an average night is about 600 which would probably work out right because the AVERAGE person needs 1200 for a day if they were in a coma not moving just for bodily functions, so less than half of that but include the wriggeling and stuff, hope that helps xxx – ana03eams

7)   My calorie counter tells me about 60 calories based on a eight hour sleep. But it all depends on how much you weigh. Mine is based on a 140 lb person – Andrea

Question 2
How do i get something out of my eye?…  I was driving today (i have a convertible) and something went into my eye at about…7PM. I have flushed it with water, contact solution, rubbed it like crazy, and even put ice on it! It sort of hurts, but is more of a nuissance. How Do i get this thing out??? I can’t flip up my eyelid like those cool-weird people can do…so that’s not an option. It is interfeering with my vision and I don’t know what to do…

Answers
1)   Just let it come out on its own, and if it’s still bugging you by tomorrow then call your doctor. – ♫ɑɱʏ♥

2)   See a doctor.

Don’t try to mess with your eye and get it out. You only have one pair of eyes..so don’t mess that one eyeball up!! – Nicole

3)   I would go see a doctor if you haven’t got it out by now. Or you could go to sleep and let your eyes flush on there own so you don’t irritate your eye more or get it infected. And if it’s still there I would go to a doctor ASAP. – CupCakeafer™

4)   Try lightly pulling the bottom of your eyes down and blinking really fast, after doing all you’ve described, the only thing I can determine, is that you probly damaged you eye.

I’m really sorry its hurting you, and if it is not any better be morning than you might want to consider calling the optometrist. – Katie G.

5)   First of all – don’t rub and put ice on your eye.

Wait a bit for it to calm down; then very gently close that eye and pull down on your eyelid while looking up for a few seconds. Then do it again for a few seconds. This can help a surprising amount and won’t hurt your eye like the other methods. If it doesn’t work on the first few tries, just stop and let it come out on its own. – Kelly

6)   stand in front of a mirror and use a dropper to put water in your eyes, like eyedrops and blink until the object is visibal on your eye. Then gently touch the object with your fingertip and lift it out. If it doesn’t stick to your finger you can use a q-tip. – Holly Jane

Question 3
If I were to push a thumb tack into my thigh , would it reach further than my skin ?…  Would it be seriously hazardous ? Like reach something vital , or cause me to have to seek medical treatment ?

Answers
1)   i fell on thumbtacs before shouldnt do much besides hurt a bit – Frans Smalls

2)   why would you want to put a tack in your thigh? – Dr. Pepper

3)   Depending on your fat layer, it might go through the fascia surrounding the thigh muscle and into the muscle. It probably wouldn’t hit anything vital, but there would be risk of infection or tetanus. If you weren’t up on your tetanus vaccine (within the last 5 to 10 years) you would need to get a booster shot. The seriousness of any infection would depend on a number of factors. It probably wouldn’t kill you, but there’s a chance that secondary problems could. – Aragorn

4)   Good god if your bored find something better to do than play"Jackass"from MTV.why would you want a thumb tack in your thigh anyways?Not exactly a look that you should go for. – wendy h

Question 5
my chest has been hurting for weeks, whats the matter?…  ok its not a heart attack, im only 17. a couple weeks ago (probably like 5 or 6) my asthma started to come back from years ago. i was coughing all day for about 3 days, and my chest absolutly killed. it hurt so bad that i was out of school for 3 days, i couldnt move without throbbing pain. i went to the doctor and he said that it was most likely a strain, and after xrays he told me to just take it easy. after awhile, the pain subsided and i returned to my regular routine. i discovered that my chest still ocassionally hurts when i do things that involve using my chest muscles, such as throwing a football or lifting weights. i cant even do my normal lifting routine because my chest will kill if i try even a low amount of weight. i dont know what to do, i feel like 7 weeks is enough time for it to heal, and i want to start lifting again. what could be the issue?

Can not sleep. NEED help. So tirde I cant stand up but I can not fall asleep!!!!!?

Posted by admin on June 9th, 2010

Question 1
Can not sleep. NEED help. So tirde I cant stand up but I can not fall asleep!!!!!?…  I really need help. I am 15, and i can not get to sleep. It is almost 1 AM, and I am so tired, yet I can’t fall asleep. I try to think of relaxing things and calm myself down, but its like my mind is going crazy and thinking of all this bizarre stuff and I can’t fall asleep. I need help NOW.

Thanks so much.

Answers
1)   smoke weed – cl0ckw0rkkfuse

2)   if you cant stand up then lay down. Avoid and fall dangers!

Listen to the radio or read something boring.

Good luck! – Katie

3)   BREATH slower and smoother. breath easier. the reason you cant sleep is becuase you are breathing irregularly. relax and breath slowly, and smoothly. – omgwhatdidyoudo?

4)   read a book

warm milk – bonnie b

5)   think about a thing that you are so interested then put your self on that situation as one who can do anything you can.and you will see,your eyes gonna fall.that’s all, – lemuel

6)   Are you on any ADD/ADHD meds such as Adderall or Ritalin? If so, try to refrain from taking them 5 hours before bed. They’re stimulants and cause irregular heartrate/breathing, which can keep you from falling asleep, EVEN if you’re tired. If not, take one or two Benadryl, or maybe even some melatonin. Good luck. – Nick

Question 2
Why does my back hurt so much?…  Here recently my lower back just right above my butt has been hurting. Like sharp pains when I bend down to pick something up or when I bend the wrong way. And now its starting to move around to the sides of my body and the front. It hurts. The other day when I went to my parents house, mi madre said it might be a kidney infection. What is this pain?

Answers
1)   A kidney infection is very likely but you also have muscles around there that you could have pulled by doing something that would stress your body out. Id say take it easy for a bit and if it still hurts see a doctor. You might also realize its a kidney infection if it hurts to pee lol. Well hope this helped. – TyranitarQueen

2)   your mother is right. Kidney pain is side and back pain.

Observe your pee. Color, volume, pain before and during urination can be signs of kidney infection.

Go to the doctor. – QuiteNewHere

3)   I recommend you to see —-> http://www.all-home-remedies.com

Question 4
Question about my neck?…  Yesterday I was studying then suddenly I felt a pain in the left side of my neck(it became stiff). When I went to look at myself in the mirror, my shoulder was slightly higher than the other and my head was slightly tilted to the right.

Today I woke up with much less pain in my neck and when I looked in the mirror my shoulders were looking normal again only my head is still slightly tilted to the right. Does anyone know how long till it recovers?
Douglas B

I’ll try that

If it doesn’t work then I’ll wait for it to recover

If it doesn’t recover I’ll go see a doctor

Thank you.

Answers
1)   It might not by itself. But right now if you do the releasing by yourself. The muscles are tight or are pinched in your neck to cause this to happen. Releasing them is the best way to go for it does a full release on them while if you let mother nature do it they usually only go half way which means it’s possible for more pains more easily. Here is how to release those muscles:

Neck

Put your hands alongside your head so your thumbs are on the front of the muscle under your ear and your fingers are on the back of the muscle behind your head. Squeeze your thumb and fingers together and hold. Relax your body. After 45 seconds, slowly lower your head as far as you can, release the pressure but hold your neck lowered for another 30 seconds.

With your neck in the lowered position, replace your thumbs in under the ears and your fingers behind your head but right next to your skull this time. Press your fingers and thumbs together again and hold. Relax your body while waiting. When the muscles have all released, slowly lift your head until it’s level again, release the pressure but hold your head like that for another 30 seconds.

Before doing this take a deep breath and exhale, then try to keep your body this relaxed for best results. – Douglas B

2)   im not a chiropractor or a doctor but that’s happened to me before i just put up with it for a couple of days and it went away on its own – Juu

3)   You’ll feel better if use fisical tretment, the next way: 3 days cold, put cold gel flr 15 min in the site of pain, 3 times a day, it could be cold water. 3 other days use hot alterning with cold, could be newly gel, 5 minutes each, 3 times of every one, newly 3 times a day. Finally put 3 days hot gel for 15 min, 3 times a day. Otherwise if you wish, you can have an analgesic oral via, such as, Naxen 500 mg 2 times a day or Voltaren 100 mg 2 times a day. Do exercise gently with your neck forward and return to the middle line, right side and return to the middle, left side, rote neck to the right and middle line, then to the left returnig head to the middle lkne again. It’s a muscular contracture. Feel well soon. – Salvador

Question 5
why have i felt fatigue and tired for the past week or so?…  since last sunday i have felt just fatigue/tired and not into it like i usually am. im a happy person so i don’t think depression is it. ive had minor headaches off and on for the past week, which i usually don’t have. ive been to the doctors twice but she seems to not get what im telling her so she says im fine. i know my body well enough to know i feel under the weather. could this be chronic fatigue syndrome? or some other virus or bug? please help

Answers
1)   Allergies most likely, have been feeling exactly the same way only sneezing, coughing, mucus build up in sinuses also.

If your headaches are caused by sinuses (headaches that feel centered around the side of your scalp) then you just have allergies. – Micheal

2)   It could be any number of things, but some common causes of fatigue are dehydration, and deficiencies in your diet, such as iron and b vitamins.

Make sure you are getting enough water, and eat foods that are high in iron and b vitamins, or take vitamin and mineral supplements to see if you feel better. – Drew

3)   Your body is often fighting a variety of bacteria, germs or other things that may not be showing up with typically visible symptoms. Slight rashes, headache, fatigue and generally feelings of unease are sometimes all you notice.

Take it easy. Get more rest and eat well. Maybe get some exercise and fresh air. Take a little better care of yourself and you’ll feel right as rain in no time. – AlJo

Can someone die their sleep and then wake up again?

Posted by admin on June 4th, 2010

Question 1
Can someone die their sleep and then wake up again?…  This may sound stupid but recently I’ve been waking up in the middle of the night gasping for air to breathe and I’m not having any nightmares or something. I’m sorry I really don’t know how to put it in a question but I hope you can understand, can someone actually die in their sleep and then wake up gasping for air and not know they just died and came back from the dead? Does this happen to anyone else? Is it normal?

Answers
1)   It happens. – Allen

2)   yes – Theresa

3)   Yes, you should look up near death experience, it’s religion – Anonymous

4)   You cannot die in your sleep and miraculously live again in the way that you are describing it.

You don’t always remember your dreams. In fact, most of the time you do not remember your dreams. Your mind is constantly working even when you are asleep, so it is possible that you are indeed dreaming and you aren’t aware of it.

Are you stressed? This could also be a factor. You may be sleeping in a different position than normal and this is disrupting your sleep.

The main thing is that if you feel uncomfortable enough, you should see someone for it to be SURE. – Hannah

5)   No, no one can "die" and come back on their own. That would defy being dead..

You could however have a panic attack in your sleep or have sleep apnea or simply wake up frightened from a dream… But not die and come back unassisted, that simply does not and will not happen w/o the assistance of resuscitation. – GI Jane

6)   I’ve noticed my dad do that alot when he sleeps. He always snores and when he sleeps he relaxes so much he cuts off his own air way. Maybe your doing the same in your sleep. – xXDirkDiggIerXx

7)   You don’t die in your sleep. It is not possible.

But what you can have could be veryyy dangerous.

If I was you I would go get it checked immediately.

I have heard of people that have that same problem, and

it had to do with heart, pressure or even the way they slept.

To be sure, get it checked out.

Good luck – Jess

Answers
1)   icey hot works wonders! – some1u_wil_neva_meet

2)   Here is how you can release your calf muscles which will get rid of the pain you are having:

Achilles tendon:

While sitting and your leg on your lap, take both thumbs and place them side by side at about ankle height on the tendon on the back of your leg and apply pressure hard and hold. After 30 seconds slowly raise your toes up as far as you can, release the pressure but hold your foot there for another 30 seconds. – Douglas B

3)   ice heat ice heat stretch them too so they don’t get stiff it will only get more sore the stiffer they get – doglover

4)   Heat will help to loosen your muscles up. Try taking a nice hot bath. Drink some water also, that might help a little. Good luck. – Flowergirl22

5)   Ibuprofen. The generic is as good as name brand. I usually get them at Dollar Tree for a buck, for 40 tabs. – L. W

6)   You should use Tramadol, it is the best about it you can get information from here http://husa104.notlong.com/5AAyaQM – Margarette

Question 3
what to do?????????????????????…  im20yrs old female.my height is five feet five inches&weight is 62kgs.my problem is iget body pains specially in neck,hands&legs.i get tired without doing any work itself.iam getting oversleep whole day&feling sleepy whole time.iget cold all the time.fat content in body increasing due to these pains&no work.what to do to get rid of these things?what kind of food i have to take?

Answers
1)   this shows u r weak inside baby go meditate or go to a good doc – pinky

2)   How much exercise do you get a day? It doesn’t sound like you are getting any for this to be happening to you. You should be running a mile a day or swimming 15 minutes a day for these pains to go away. You should also watch how much sugar you are taking in, like candy, pop, sweets, etc. You should also be drinking lots of water to help flush your system out. It is going to take a week or two for you to really notice the change but it will happen and the movement will help keep your body in good working condition so keep doing it for life. – Douglas B

3)   To be honest, I find that the most simple solutions work best – and if they don’t talk to a doctor.

Exercise and drinking a lot of water really helps. and of course, eating healthy does too. If you are feeling this weak and tired all the time it will probably be hard for you to start exercise, but try starting simply by taking longer walks, or jogs. Dance, do jumping jacks, try to put in exercise into your daily routine, it will help. Sleeping too much often leads to the rest of the day feeling tired, lazy, and weak. You wouldn’t think so, but it really does.

Stretching is also very important to help you loosen up your tight muscles before exercising. Drink lots of water to keep you hydrated, and try not to oversleep! you waste a lot of your day. Trust me, I know exactly how you feel – I’m 21. I’m even about the same height and weight as you. Too bad I can’t take my own advice :| – fossilized sap

4)   You may have a thyroid problem. Underactive thyroid can give these symptoms. You need to see a doctor and have a full thyroid screening done (it’s done thru blood tests). If it is found to be underactive then you will take a daily amt. of "synthroid" to replace what your thyroid isn’t making. You will do this probably for the rest of your life. You would also need to have it checked every 6 mos at minimum to make sure levels are ok and if meds need adjustment. – Bunnee

Britain – the land that sleep forgot

Posted by admin on May 27th, 2010

Britain’s sleep deprivation crisis is getting worse with serious effects for the economy and the workplace. Researchers surveyed the sleep patterns of 6,000 adults on behalf of the hotel chain Travelodge. They found that 28% of workers said they had taken a day off work following a bad night’s sleep – equivalent to 8 million sick days a year and something estimated to cost employers £1bn. More than half of the sample (56%) said that they had felt like they had a bad hangover when they had not had enough sleep and 45% said it had taken a couple of days to recover. A third said they had found it difficult to concentrate driving to and from work after a bad night’s sleep while 70% admitted that they were a horrible person to work with when they had not had enough sleep. A quarter of adults claimed to take a catnap at work with 16% dozing at their desk and 10% retreating to the toilet for forty winks. The top three causes of sleep deprivation were money worries (38%), work-related stress (25%) and noisy family members or neighbours (23%).
