Get Better Sleep And Find Natural Remedies To Cure Insomnia
I am so certain i am bipolar, but i have not seen a therapist bc i didn’t have insurance, but now i do and i am going to make an appointment with one. SO my question is can i just tell him/her that i have bipolar disorder or will they have observe me a few times before they make a diagnosis..
My best friend is having sleep problems where she is having serious trouble getting to sleep, lying there for hours restless. other times when she finally gets to sleep she wakes up a few hours after. Its really beginning to worry me. Yesterday she had no sleep at all! She is going to see the doctor soon but i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on ways in which this could improve in the meantime before her appointment with the doctor. I know routines help… is there any food or drink that makes you sleepy?
Thanks for any help.
A worried best friend xx
I want to get a CPAP, I’ve been diagnosed with Sleep Apnea, but I couldn’t make the appointment for them to find my correct pressure setting. How important is it to know that pressure setting? I want to buy my own CPAP machine but I don’t know what pressure to set it at.
My 15 year old son had a sleep study done and I just got a call to come in for an appointment. All they told me was he has no REM sleep at all? That is after 7 hours solid sleep, with sleep onset in 15 minutes of laying down. The main problem I have with him is he goes to bed about 1 hour later every night, (about a 30 day cycle actually) and if I attempt to disrupt the pattern – it causes him agitation, anxiety,daytime sleepiness. It is a very big problem that my son has an alien sleep pattern.
Hi there, I’ve been struggling with stomach problems since about 1st grade.
I’m 14 now, and next year i’ll be a freshman in highschool.
When i was younger, the pain wasn’t bad at all.
In fact, my mom just though I was another kiddo with the common tummy ache.
As I got older, the pain worsened. I was put on previcad [sorry if the spelling is incorrect]
for about 2 years. It never worked for me. Then my doctor subscribed pepcid AC over the counter.
It worked for about a week and then the symptoms came back.
I had missed so much school in my 5th grade year, I got homeschooled in 6th grade.
Then in 7th, I attempted to go back to public school, and ended up missing 50 days of school.
I then am now in a private homeschooling, and everyday i’m sick as a dog.
I was diagnosed with mono, and my doctor scheduled me an appointment at Akron Childrens Hospital.
I went to this doctor, and lemme tell you. This guy, in my opinion, is a total quack.
He told me basically, that i’m a hypochondriac. And that I need to just get back into society and do something with my life.
He also discriminated on my homeschooling and then told me that nothing was wrong with me besides I had a case of ibs.
My mother and I stormed out of the office that day, and I refuse to go back to him.
From that day on, I’ve been to the doctors atleast once a week for my stomach.
I’m having horrible burning sensation. I was put on nexium 40mg to stop the pain, but after 3 months of taking it I ate constantly
and gained weight rapidly. With that I had horrible insomnia, light headed/dizziness, and nausea still.
It seems like I just can’t escape this. I went back to my doctor and he put me on prilosect 20 mg twice daily.
So far, my stomach is constantly burning and nauseated. The last two days, everything I have ate has went straight through me.
I get so nauseated I have to sit still or else I will puke and I put ice packs on my lower intestine to stop the pain.
The burning is usually located between my stomach and belly button.
It tends to move down into my intestines, lower by my ovaries.
I really need some relief. I’ve been on tons of medications, and I take nausea pills like they’re candy.
I’m afraid i’ll end up addicted, and then in the end i’ll have no relief. I’m constantly concerned about my health.
I eat a healthy well balanced diet, and I take dietary suppliments.
I just need some relief. Enough is enough. My doctor won’t listen to me. I’ve wanted him to scope my stomach and see if anythings
there, and he won’t. He’s only tested me for every parasite known to cause any damage. Besides that, he just keeps throwing medication
at me. But something has to be wrong with me, or else I wouldn’t be feeling this way. I thought maybe you guys could help.
This is my first time ever posting anything, so i’m sorry if I threw out useless information or made it a novel.
I’m desperate for answers or relief.
Thank you so much if you read this. It honestly means the world to me.
I’m so sensitive and tired from being sick I cry just talking about it.

I think I maybe be starting menopause. I do have an appointment with my gyno. But I have been having some really strange dreams lately. They are really effecting my sleep. I don’t know why else I would be having these dreams. Has anyone else experienced this at the onset of menopause?
I have been having a few sleep paralysis episodes ever now and then, and they started again on March 5, 2009, and I have had 2 since then.
In 2008 I used to have them very often, but then they stopped.
When I have them I see figures standing over me.
Could I have sleep paralysis disorder.?
Should i ask my psychiatrist about it tomorrow? (my next appointment)
They are scary!

i’m about 5 wks pregnant with my first, and i’ve been having some weird symptoms, i’m not sure if they’re related to the pregnancy or if something else is up & maybe i should talk to my doctor…
sore throat, with slight ear ache
congestion, stuffy & runny nose
back ache, especially really low on my right side near my hip
insomnia
feel overly warm (no fever)
mild cramping very low in pelvis
slightly sore, tired muscles
i’m also having the usual symptoms, sore BBs, a bit of nausea, heartburn, things smell & taste different, exhausted (though may be partly due to my insomnia).
can anyone tell me if these symptoms are pregnancy related?
also, what are some safe things to get relief from them?
should i see my doctor asap? (i have my 1st appointment in 2 wks)
thanks!!
oh, also i have constipation & gas (sorry tmi) are these pregnancy symptoms too??
thanks again!!!
and HORRIBLE headaches, too, btw… i know those are a symptom…
yes, DEFINITELY preggers, i’ve had 2 BFPs since Saturday 
actually the heartburn & changed sense of smell are definitely pregnancy symptoms.
This is a high stress time. I’ve been diagnosed as depressed. Insomnia is really bad, to the point I dread going to bed. As soon as my head hits the pillow, my mind goes into high gear. Although I have a hard time losing weight normally, I’ve been dropping weight like you wouldn’t believe. Has anyone taken medications for problems like this, & was it effective? I finally got an appointment with the doctor this Friday. I’d appreciate recommendations from anyone. Thank you!
My husband has sleep apnea but it is’nt being treated yet, he has an appointment in July. He has been experiencing headaches and now his left arm is going numb, can this be from sleep apnea?
I have just been diagnosed with sleep apnea, and I;m awaiting the appointment with the pulmonologist. Just wondering what to do in the meantime.
I have tried a cpap for sleep apnea and I just cant get used to it. I have made an appointment with a dentist for the oral device. Has anyone gotten? How much does it cost?
