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?

Avatar n tn Hi, am a mother of 2. I'm 33 years old this year. My girl is 6 years old and my boy is 2 years +. I am sleeping with my boy everyday. Here is my question, my son's sleeping pattern is quite bad, he moves a lot and always come to my side, so a few times in a night, I would wake up and bring him back to his place. However, there were a few occassions where I have difficulty falling back to sleep after waking up at about 4.30am or sometimes about 5am,.... Can I know why?
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 m tn (Also to reassure you I get a fast heart when I stand up, and have also been told I have sinus tachycardia, I get the most odd symptoms! I would be here all night if i went through them all! ) I know its easier said than done,but try not to worry about your symptoms.Anxiety is a complete nightmare! I also must say, thats its only my faith as a christian that has enabled me to stay positive, and to keep my fear at bay. I am still a work in progress!
Avatar m tn When I emailed my doctor and asked if the emg would rule out als, he did not address that question, only asked if I have a video of the twitch. It is hard to get one since they don't last that long and come infrequently. 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.
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 Wow if i didnt know i was reading someone elses post i would think it were me!! I have the same problem i too was on zoloft which only created more problems and weight gain, stay off of it it doesnt help! I also take atenolol and xanax i just stoped the atenolol because im getting muscle cramps and numbness in my hands its really freaking me out.
Avatar f tn Good question. I have dealt with sleep paralysis for many years. It is frightening when it happens. I remember thinking after being out of the church for a long time that if I went to a therapist they would say something traumatic had happened that I couldn't remember and if I went to a priest, he would say that Satan was after me....... I ran into the church ......I never know when the SP will happen.
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 Every now and again, I am suddenly woken up in the middle of the night with a pounding heart that takes about 10 seconds to get back to normal. Not sure what is causing this, but recently I've had a sinus infection and have been breathing through my mouth mostly, which is drying out my throat like crazy. I just want to make sure I don't have a heart attack in the middle of the night because man...my heart was really pounding.
5509293 tn?1428531475 Hi JJ, Thanks for response. Well that's good that you think these are sleep jerks too!! With sx what I meant was even with a list divided into relapses, it's easy to fall into 'I have this, this happens, I experience' when they ask you. Docs I have seen never want the list and they don't listen when I answer so I have tended to jumble everything and of course that gives the wrong impression. Just a communication problem.
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 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 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 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 Risk assessment:1 i bit my friend because we were foolin around and i wanted to,see,how hard i could bite her till,she said stop and of course she agreed so i bit her arm pretty hard and i felt like i got maybe a small amount of her blood in my mouth? Is that a risk for hiv transmissoon? 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.
1124887 tn?1313754891 Btw i had this feeling of fast heart beat while i was sleeping then awoken up to be normal and at that time i was wearing a 24 hour holter,and when the result came out,everything was normal,the only fast heart rate was mostly during daytime,like going up the stairs etc..
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.
Avatar m tn t exhibited every symptoms, I do experienced Sore Throat around march or february, fatigue from the time I did a 100 count squat and muscle pain from sleeping late, but I still get worried over the fact that I have HIV and that it would develop into Aids. I just started to get afraid last night when I researched on symptoms of HIV and AIDS, and now I am also afraid of getting tested due to the fear that I might come out as positive results. What should I do?
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 ?
