Avatar m tn Being so tired she falls back asleep only to be awoken again with searing pain. We have tried using a brace and we also have tried using icy hot patches (which I cut small to place on her wrist) but they do not seem to help at all. Any ideas on a solution to this?
8144481 tn?1410057163 I'm not sleeping good either. I went through a stage where I wouldn't fall asleep until anywhere from 4 a.m to 9 a.m then sleep till 12-2 p.m wake up and repeat now im falling asleep around 2-3 a.m and waking up every hour until I have to get up at 7:45 a.
Avatar f tn Some sexual curiosity is normal...but I am concerned that 1) he approached his sister and her friend while they were sleeping AND that he denies touching them. You should talk to a professional counselor for an educated opinion...At minimum his father needs to have a serious discussion about boundaries and acceptable behavior.
Avatar n tn I sleep with a giant body pillow already and I am just 18 weeks. It really helps me sleep through the night. To feel really good I need around 8 hours of sleep !
Avatar m tn for the past 2 nights i have awoken to rips in my sheets, the rips are either very small or like they have been clawed... i have been informed in the past that i fight in my sleep, but this was many years ago, and once my wife said i strangled her while i was sleeping, now with these latest episodes i am becoming concerned... am i loosing my marbles...
Avatar f tn Whenever I am awoken from slumber I get quite startled for a few moments, gasp and recoil. I'm a very light sleeper and tend to wake just by someone walking into the room, but I always gasp in fright even if it's someone I care about (parents, siblings, etc...). It doesn't always happen after a nightmare, either. It's pretty much everytime someone wakes me.
3163977 tn?1343813395 So I did some research and found somniphobia (hypnophobia) and I can relate entirely to people that suffer from it, yet I am not sure whether I have this as some say its a fear of sleep which I dont have, I have a fear of that space of time of trying to get to sleep. I actually like sleep as my dreams are so exciting and vivid even though if I did have a choice I would avoid sleep altogether.
Avatar f tn Altho I am looking frwd to the blessed occasion I also fear the exhaustion. W/ my dd I felt like a holocaust survivor I was soo tired and overwhelmed but hopefully this will be better. DH is so excited course he has no idea since this is his first....hehe.
Avatar m tn Questions - does a 3 limb emg rule out als and how long are the results good for, would als present suddenly like that a year ago, would als take a year to diagnose and numbness in a hand a symptom. I really am having a hard time moving forward and don't want to live like this. I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
Avatar f tn Recently I have been feeling down, I never want to do anything, I stop sleeping and I loose interest in many hobbies.
652671 tn?1353712165 The scariest thing has been happening to me at night. Last night while i was sleeping, I was awoken by my heart "skipping" a beat. It was followed by a feeling of cold tingling that swept my body. After the "thud", my heart began to beat fast like it was trying to catch up. I tried to ignore it because my heart has been acting funny lately. The second time i woke up I could feel my heart just start to race for no apparent reason.
Avatar f tn apparently this is a common thing to see if you experience SP for some reason..but I am wondering if maybe it is a sign..maybe I need to have a deeper relationship with God..or maybe it really was just a random side effect of SP?
765027 tn?1234659832 I am afraid to go back to sleep because I am afraid I will die. I know sounds crazy. I am now not sleeping! I will stay up all night long until it is time to get my daughters up fro school at 6 a.m. and I am soooo crazy tired. So when I get home from taking them to the bus stop, I lay down and finally doze off to just be awoken by my three year old in only an hour. I am exhausted, I am crying a lot, and feeling like I am loosing my mind.
Avatar m tn I'm a bit worse off than you...5'8" 220lbs...lol. Although I was at 240, so I guess there's some progress. I probably have a lot more to go if my weight is causing OSA. My AHI was 5.3, so they tried me on CPAP to see what happened. Ironically, the CPAP actually gave me sleep apnea--I had central, OSA and mixed sleep apneas on 5-6 (can't remember the units of measurement the CPAP used). I'm just concerned that if it was a deep sleep, would I still wake up?
Avatar m tn t really pain just felt strange. Around the liver area. Also I now have a sore throat again and have bumps on the back of my tongue. It also a bit white. Paranoid again I couldn't let this go, so I tested myself again with the finger prick test. It was negative. I have tested negative for weeks: 2,4,5,6,7 Now I am on the 8th week. My upper abdomen is doing better. It just feels firm now. I went to a doctor and they ran a whole bunch of test on me. I will be getting the results on Tuesday.
Avatar f tn You truly need to seek medical help with this. Anxiety can present with many symptoms, but always get other causes ruled out first! Some of your symptoms are concerning and I wouldn't delay this any longer. We can have anxiety even when we feel we have no reason to, so this is a possibility. But you need to get a very thorough check-up, and if need be, go to the ER where you can be evaluated right away. You can't care for your children like this so seek help and keep us posted...OK?
Avatar f tn The earliee you start the easier it will be later on. I have a giant pregnancy pillow that wraps around my body and i can use it to prop my stomach and many other ways along with another under my tummy and another under my head and neck abd one to prop my feet. Lol i sleep great aside from indigestion and bathroom trips.
Avatar n tn Okay basically, i'm 15 and i can't sleep alone. Most of the time i sleep in my sisters bedroom, but she is beginning to get annoyed with me doing it all the time! It all started when i watched my first thing about murder when i was 10. That night i couldn't get to sleep at all, i just kept looking around the room seeing thing. In the end i had to go into my mum's room (my parents are divorced) and sleep with her, with the lights on.
Avatar n tn Yes mine did with my daughter which was my first child it woke me right away I wasn't sleeping to hard anyway because I was contracting on and off all day
Avatar f tn It is very scary when this happens and I fear sleeping because of it. Does anyone have any clue to what this might be? Is this something I need to seek medical help for??
Avatar f tn 2. I woke up yesterday with a bruise mark with a dark circular dot in the middle now i think my roomate injected me with a syringe with hiv blood cuz it looks like a,needle mark did i get injected with hiv? 3. I got into a bloody fight afraid i got his blood in mine am i at risk?
1124887 tn?1313754891 I find that lately, even when I'm awake, I feel like my heart is beating really fast, but when I check my pulse, it's normal. I even feel a little short of breath, like I have to take a deep breath...it is a very strange sensation...I do feel a lot of heart palps and racing during my sleep which do wake me.
Avatar m tn Now the fact I smoked skunk means that I assumed I must have got a panic attack - but I had nothing like numbness, tingling, consistent fear or apprehension or 'feeling like I was going to die', which are common symptoms (or so I've read). I simply had the very unpleasant experience of feeling a massive adrenaline rush surge through my body every time I'd try to sleep (my body would also jolt as I fell asleep, as in my limbs would kick out suddenly).
Avatar f tn It was than I realized that all the darkness in the world could never consume the happiness I embrace from the blessings I already have. God had a reason for not showing us any lights on our way home. That night, the light that shown the brightest was the one that illuminated the faces of the the people I love most. I wanted to share this experience in hopes that it will inspire you to see the light in even your darkest moments. I will always be saddened by the loss of my unborn children.
Avatar f tn For the past few weeks I've developed a problem with my feet when I sleep. Everything is fine during the day, when I'm awake. It only happens when I sleep. I'm asleep for about an hour and a half when I'm awoken by the pain in both my feet from loss of circulation. It's not just numbness or tingly feeling, as usual with bad circulation. But its so bad it is quite painful. I get out of bed and move around, restoring circulation, and the pain goes away.
15593683 tn?1441620143 When I sleep for a very short period, maybe around 30 minutes to 2 hours, and get awoken, I always wake up with a sizzling, tingling and slightly painful vibrations on my hand up to my shoulders. Within a minute or two the whole feeling subsides with very slight movement. Please, at my 50 years of age, having experienced this for almost three years now, is it normal ?
Avatar f tn I normally go throught the night with 2-3 hours. Sometimes I wish I have more than 24 hours a day so I would have more time to accomplish my tasks. The only time that I slept well was when we were on vacation..( near the beach). My pattern of sleep has changed for about 7 years. I usually got up with a bad headache and neck pain for a while..Recently my doctor prescribed Zestril 10mg once a day and it does the job; I do not wake up with headache and neck pain.
