Your Questions About Stress Fracture Foot

Charles asks…

Should i play basketball on a stress fracture?

Ok so i have a supposed stress fracture in my left foot. I am going to the doctors tomorrow after school and am not sure if its certainly a stress fracture but i am pretty sure it is as it is not swollen and i don’t remember specifically hurting it and it seems to be an internal problem. Would it be a stupid idea to play basketball tonight?? Thanks

Insomnia Stress answers:

I fractured my foot awhile ago playing basketball actually I landed on it wrong. It didn’t swell up just hurt really bad. My opinion would be not to play basketball and wait until you see what the doctor has to say, because you could end up hurting yourself even further. But if you decide to anyways then take it easy.

Lizzie asks…

What can one do for a stress fracture?

My foot has been huring for a couple of weeks now. I had a doctor’s appointment for something else and decided to bring it up. She xrayed it and both she and the PA think it’s a stress fracture, though they were sending it off to a radiologist to read it (although, I’ve heard it’s hard to detect a stress fracture from an xray so… who knows what’s going on?). I have to wait until Monday to know anything for sure and get set up with an orthopedic doctor and get a boot and such, though, which is a problem because I work in retail and have no choice but to be on my feet for prolonged periods of time. Is there anything I can buy in terms of an ACE bandage or some sort of brace to wear for the weekend?

Insomnia Stress answers:

There’s not much more a person can do than to wear a brace and take calcium suppliments until about 8 weeks have passed. Sorry there’s not too much information on that coming from me.

Michael asks…

How to cause a stress fracture?

I jump a lot outside in my front yard and I want to know how to cause a stress fracture or a bad sprain or some way so that I can use crutches at school. I can’t fake it BTW.
I know, I’m crazy. I know I am. No matter what anyone says, I’m not chaning my mind. I will beilive when you say it sucks when I actually experience it.

Insomnia Stress answers:

Put on high heels and strap a piece of wood to the outside of ONE shoe. The jump off something several feet high.
To stress fracture, tap your wrist/ankle over and over agai all day long. It will eventually crack.

Nancy asks…

Military Disability for stress fractures and hip surgeries?

Wondering if anyone can tell me round the percentage i will recieve from disability when i get out. I have gotten stress fractures in my feet and ankles and had 2 hip surgeries and still having hip pain! If you have recieved disbility can you please just let me know a round about % i will get.

Insomnia Stress answers:

First off – there is no way to tell you even a guess as to what you will be rated as since each case and person is different. They will assign a diagnostic code to your condition, and under each diagnostic code are several different criteria for the different percentages you can be rated as due to the varying degree of your disability.

For your reference, I pulled out my 38 CFR for you and would advise you to google the following diagnostic codes :D

Ankles: 5270, 5271, 5272
Feet: 5284
Hip: 5250, 5254

If you have any other questions, feel free to shoot me an e-mail. I work for a law firm that is one of the top in the nation at filing and appealing veteran’s claims.

David asks…

Is wakeboarding on a fractured foot bad?

I got a stress fracture on my outside sesmoid on my right foot about a month ago that’s still healing, and I’m trying to go wakeboarding in a few days. Would that put too much stress on my sesmoid and hurt it more?
I’m really not looking for life lessons and such here. All I want to know is medically whether or not wakeboarding can irritate a stress fracture.

Insomnia Stress answers:

Want some advice which usually applies to most situations? Well, you’re getting it anyway :

When in doubt, don’t.

When in doubt, don’t be a flippin num nut and go and do it anyway.

Trust your gut feeling, it’s there for a reason.

You get what you deserve, when you first practice to not observe.

“Oohh. Owwww. Doctor, it hurts when I do this.” man raises arm above head. The dr. Replies:

“Don’t do that.”

“Do you really believe EVERYTHING you read??”

“Hey, it has to be true, I found it on the internet.”

xxxxxxxxxx

Two weeks for a regular sprain to heal.
Six weeks for normal fractures.

And during those times it does not mean go cause additional stress on your injury unless you care to make it worse. Always do what you can tolerate has been my advice but only after at least two weeks of proper, zero activity healing.

Your Questions About Sleep Number Bed

Donald asks…

Has anyone bought a knock off of the Select Comfort Sleep Number bed??

We are pricing the Select Comfort Sleep Number bed and have noticed a lot of knock offs. Has anyone purchased a knock off brand and had good results??? Also anyone with the Select Comfort can you give me any feedback??

Insomnia Stress answers:

Hi, we just received our Select Comfort bed Friday! We are both now madly in love with our mattress. We got it through Select Comfort’s Factory Outlet. I believe sale prices were good thru 15th. I’m not sure if it is possible for me to post that phone # for you here. We saved about 500 bucks on the 5000 model. Ad I received in mail stated that they change fabrics etc., yearly and these are just ’06 models. Hey, at that kind of savings, who cares what year the fabric design belongs to!!! I wonder if you called the regular # and told them you wanted the outlet #, maybe they could help you? We also have friends that have had a Select Comfort bed for over 10 years, very basic model and they still say it is the best! Good luck, hope this helps you somehow!

William asks…

does anybody know how much one of those Select Comfort sleep number beds cost?

Select Comfort sleep number beds cost? I don’t want to contact the company & ask because i hate when sales people hound you for your name,phone number, & or address so they can call you back to harass you into buying stuff, & i don’t want to contact them via internet cause they sell your email address, & constantly email you asking if you are going to buy etc. just like calling them.

Insomnia Stress answers:

I paid $1500. 10 years ago, can’t imagine what it is now. Believe me you better want one really badly, I would not get mine if I knew about the problems. Make sure you get the number part(you can do otherwise),don’t get an extended model or the sheets don’t fit, and make sure another person does not want it too soft or it really does not work with the foam walls. There are too many cons for this thing. Buuuuut, please just get persistant on the phone and ask a local seller for a price range,telling them you just want to see if you can afford the thing!

Sandra asks…

How comfortable is it to have sex on a tempurpedic bed or sleep number?

I want to buy the tempurpedic bed or sleep number… But I still have sex, and I don’t want to buy it if I sink, or it feel like we on on hardwood floors.

Insomnia Stress answers:

You won’t :]

All beds are made with sex in mind, I mean apart from sleep on them, sex is the only thing we do in bed right?

Hope that helped (:

Laura asks…

Anyone own a Sleep Number Bed for back problem?

Love to hear if you love your Sleep Number Bed and if it is worth the money. I have lower back pain and nerve pain in my left leg. I am seeking to buy one of these, but love to hear advice and opinions on this type of bed. Please tell me the pros and cons of having this bed, including the price. Thanks so much!

Insomnia Stress answers:

I bought my Sleep Number Bed when I was pregnant. My husband likes a harder bed and I like a softer bed. It was the best purchase I have ever made, granted my husband still brings up the fact that I bought an $1800 bed but even listening to all his griping and complaining about the cost, it’s stil completely worth it. I love the fact that depending on how my body is feeling I can change the softness of the bed. It works wonders.

Thomas asks…

What is the best mattress to purchase?

I am looking for a new bed and I need something that will help me get a full nite sleep, my lasy bed was cheap and I was always tired in the morning so I am looking to pay more money for excellent quality I looked at sleep number beds and I wanted to know if there are any other mattresses that will help me get a great nite sleep.

Insomnia Stress answers:

We got a Tempurpedic mattress almost two years ago and we abslotely love it. It’s a bit pricey, but well worth it. Plus, they give you a trial period so you can return it if you don’t like it. We got the Deluxe, which is the mid-end model. I was hesitant at first, but now I’m sold. Good luck!

Your Questions About Insomnia Symptoms

Ken asks…

Is it possible to have withdrawal symptoms from Oxycodone after only 1 week?

I had nasal surgery a week ago and was prescribed Oxycodone for pain. I only took it for about 6 days but now I’m having this horrible insomnia. Could it be withdrawal from the Oxycodone even though I didn’t take it that long?

Insomnia Stress answers:

One of the side effects of Oxycodone is insomnia. If you took it for a week, and have totally stopped taking it do not worry about it. However, if you have continued to take it when you do not need it you have become dependant upon it. Stop cold turkey and you will be fine.

Good luck

Mandy asks…

What Are The Symptoms Of About To Start Having Your First Period?

I’ve been having some cramps on and off for a few weeks, getting more discharge than is normal for me. Then suddenly today I am sore above my pelvi area like my lower abdomen. I have under arm hair, starting getting my chest about late last year early this year. I have pubic hair also. I’ve been moody and getting frusrated more easily than usual and all that stuff. Can anyone list all the symptoms and maybe give me an estmate of when I’ll start?

Insomnia Stress answers:

Vaginal discharge is a sign that you may start your period soon, but sometimes ‘soon’ isn’t quite so soon. I had lots of discharge for about 3 months before I actually started.
Teenwire says this:
Here are some other changes you may notice around the time you get your first period:

* your hips getting wider
* hair growing under your arms and around your nipples and vulva
* sweating under your arms
* developing acne
* thick and whitish or slippery and clear vaginal discharge

Some girls and women — from 20-50 percent — experience physical or emotional discomfort that is known as premenstrual syndrome (PMS) about a week before menstruating, or during the first few days of menstruation.

Symptoms of PMS include depression and other mood changes, tender breasts, appetite changes, irritability, headaches, backaches, insomnia, sweating, difficult breathing, and fluid retention. PMS is more common in older women. (http://www.teenwire.com/ask/2005/as-2005…

Nancy asks…

When should I get symptoms and start showing?

I will be 4 weeks pregnant tomorrow with my second. Everyone tells me symptoms and starting to show happens sooner with the second, when should I expect?

Insomnia Stress answers:

This is my second. Here’s when my stuff happened:

Baby 1 started morning sickness at 6 weeks (severe). Little (but some) actual sickness with 2, but quite a lot of nausea starting as early as week 7

Started showing about the same time – aroud 14-15 weeks with a pronounced baby bump athough in a sweatshirt at 20 weeks you still can’t really tell.

Heartburn and insomnia started earlier with the 2nd – around 10-12 weeks. Round ligament pain earlier with 2nd – around 13-14 weeks.

FELT the baby MOVE way earlier this time!! Started around 15 weeks with the flutters (probably because I knew what I was looking for). I didn’t feel my son until I knew he was a son:)

FATIGUE has been way worse with this pregnancy all around from the beginning. Most people say it’s because im chasing a toddler, which is probably true. But also I think it’s me being 4 years older, and just the general toll of pregnancy.

Anyway, this is just me but hope this helps!:)

Laura asks…

How to cure insomnia and early awaken problem?

I have insomnia and early awaken problem everyday for two weeks now, I got a lack of sleep. What should I do ?
I feel not good, because I went to bed late I still need sometime to go to sleep and when I don’t set the alarm clock… I still wake up so early..

Insomnia Stress answers:

Hey,

I have a couple of suggestions based on my experience and research. 5 different ways that you can consider and try…

1. Sleep Earlier
The most straightforward remedy is to actually shift your biological clock slightly. That way your body might not wake up too early anymore.

2. Take Power Naps
After lunch is the best time for sure, but try to squeeze in at least 1 or 2 additional naps later in the day. Keep them to 20 minutes each and you might have found a lifesaver.
A key benefit is that you’ll be able to reduce your stress levels through this approach. This will hopefully also impact your ability to sleep a full long night later on.

3. Practice Yoga
Yoga, and Pilates, has an inherent stress-reducing effect. Just through winding down a bit and focusing on one single thing, both your mood and energy can improve.

4. Try Bright Light Therapy
I totally understand if you ask…
How can being exposed to bright light make me sleep better? According to a study: In short, by exposing the participants to bright light during two evenings, they managed to postpone their circadian rhythm (temperature cycle) and thereby altering their biological clock. The results, even after four weeks, were remarkable. In general, the exposed participants slept more, woke up later and had less negative daytime symptoms.

5. Start Medication
If you’ve tried all the methods out there, then medication might be the only way towards getting better.

I hope one of these methods will help you! I wish you the best.

What is your favorite healthy dinner and recipe?

I am a breakfast fiend and love packing colorful lunches with plenty of fresh fruit and veggies…but lately, dinner has me completely uninspired. I love cooking and baking, but I’m having some trouble branching out.
I would love some new ideas that are both tasty and healthy!

Please share the website link to your favorite dinner recipe.

Thanks ahead of time! ;-)

-1 lean chicken breast (146 cal)
-Wrap the chicken in a slice of prosciutto (Parma) ham (42cal)
-Half a small jacket potato with NO cheese or butter (80 cal)
-Add any veg! I like mine with broccoli and carrots.

Meal idea 2:
-chop up loads and loads of veg like: Brussels, mushrooms, carrots, onions, peppers, celery, parsnips, fine beans, tomatoes, baby sweet corn, courgettes
-cook in a wok and fry using CAL LITE spray (no oil!)
-add 40g serving of Salsa to the veg
-grill an open top pepper (cut the top off and take out the seeds etc)
-stuff the salsa veggies in the pepper
-quite a small meal so you could have two stuffed peppers or just add a side like a small chicken breast of pork medallions or mash potatoe

Your Questions About Fatigue After Eating

Betty asks…

What happens if you stop eating and start working out?

And when working out your MAIN focus is targeting your hips and thighs.
&You just drink water.

Or if you just stop eating entirely?

Insomnia Stress answers:

Your vagina will close up. Nah just kidding your weight may drop increasingly or you may remain the same weight some actually gain weight depending on the person but whatever the person you will feel fatigue as far as muscles and brain because your body isn’t getting the protens and carbs it needs to burn fat.

Sandy asks…

What is the relationship between depression and eating disorders/issues?

I am doing research on depression for hospitality class (cooking)
that means I need to talk about how it might relate to changes in eating, anorexia/bulemia nervosa and other eating disorders.
the more info the better!

Insomnia Stress answers:

Hey, I studied this this year!

Depression is a clinical disorder of the brain. It causes suicidal thoughts and suicide, and yes, can affect eating disorders. The ones you are referring to are very common with people who are clinically depressed. Depression does not just affect the emotional aspect of your life, but the physical aspect as well. Because the brain connects emotional and physical health, depression affects both at the same time. If you are feeling bad about yourself, or are depressed, your emotions will constantly tell you to be better, that you are doing something wrong. That is where the physical aspect comes into play. When people are unhappy with themselves, studies show they are usually unhappy with their bodies. With anorexia and bulimia, the person who is clinically depressed usually wants to make their bodies look better to makes themselves feel better. The only problem is that it can cause even more emotional damage when they don’t see the changes in their bodies, and vice versa if their depression continues.

If you don’t know much about anorexia and bulimia, here’s a few facts.

Anorexia is an eating disorder where a person refuses to eat. Basically, they look in the mirror and say ‘I’m too fat,’ and refuse to even touch food. The signs are obviously, extreme weight loss, headaches, fatigue, nausea, and external bleeding and loss of bone health. Because nutrients are not making it into an anorexics body, their skin cells don’t develop the way they are supposed to. A tiny cut could bleed a lot, and you are more likely to break bones or tear muscles.

Bulimia is also an eating disorder that is more common in the clinically depressed. Usually, extreme grief causes bulimia. A bulimic is very hard to catch; because they are eating, they don’t shed the weight, and because they vomit their food back, you can never really catch them in the act. However, if you have suspicions of bulimia in a friend or relative, take them to a dentist. The acid from the vomit of the person breaks down the enamel on a person’s teeth, and causes unhealthy teeth and sometimes even gum disease.

It’s very important to keep an eye on all of these issues, so please continue your work! You might want to bring up the fact of depression causing suicide, and how eating disorders actually cause it quite often. The reason being is because the more unhappy they become with their bodies, the more depressed they will be. And the longer someone waits to tell a parent or adult, the worse the situation will get.

Hope this information helps you out!

Daniel asks…

What are effects from not eating enough calories?

I have not been eating enough for the past 5 days. Maybe 500 calories a day, tops.
What are side effects of not eating?
I feel SO tired, and worn out, and weak, I just have no energy. Is that common? Plus, my back really hurts.
What are other side effects?

I’m a 14 year old girl, 5’8” and 106 pounds

Are my ‘side effects’ normal?
I’m too worn out to do anything.

Insomnia Stress answers:

Yes the symptoms you are experiencing are completely normal hun, no need to worry.

If you do not eat enough ‘calories’ then you will not get the daily amount of vitamins your body needs. This means your muscles, your overall appearance and fatigue will show.

Some other side effects are that you may feel dizziness, fatigue, the will not to do activities. You should eat about 1000 calories per day that involve fruits/veg’s, grains, dairy products, meats, etc.

If you will drink water now, it’ll make you feel much better, since you need water to survive! Hope I helped.

Lisa asks…

Is It Normal to Feel Fatigue in and after Exercise like martial arts? I m of 20 year?

After having martial arts like Kyokushin Karate(for 2.5 hr) i feel tired ,muscles starches at joints usually for the 15 hours.I usually increase my sleep form 7hr to 12hr.I usually feel depressed and upset due to fatigue and take the aggressive behavior.My face also becomes week
Please guide me about it with healthy tips?

Insomnia Stress answers:

2.5 hours is a long work-out, especially if it is intense. There might be a couple of things you can do.

1. Stay hydrated. Drink lots of water 1-2 hours before you exercise.
2. Eat a small meal 30-60 minutes before you workout. Not much, or you will feel nauseated.
3. Avoid sugary foods up to 60 minutes before working out.
4. Before you work out, STRETCH. After you work out, rub down your muscles and STRETCH MORE.

Feeling depressed and aggressive is atypical. Usually exercise has the opposite effect. If you continue to feel this way after work-outs, I recommend (1) finding a different class, perhaps more laid-back than your current class, or (2) seeing a psychologist or psychiatrist to address what may be latent issues.

Good luck.

Your Questions About Stress Quotes

Joseph asks…

Are there any statistics or famous quotes in favor of animal testing/experimentation?

any quotes, stats, or useful information that i can use for a high school debate to really attack my opponent. I know it’s tough to find anything in favor of testing.

Insomnia Stress answers:

You can argue about medical advancements from animal testing and research more on the knowledge we gain through animal testing. This is a good essay, check it out after you read the below list. Http://www.writefix.com/argument/animaltestingyes2.htm

On this website, http://www.avert.org/hiv-animal-testing.htm, I found a good list for and against animal testing.

* FOR: Animal testing is justified because of the many human lives that it can save
* AGAINST: There is no firm evidence that animal testing has saved anyone’s life directly, particularly in the case of HIV – most drugs could probably have been developed without the use of animals.

* FOR: Humans are clearly unique amongst animals in our abilities and intellect. Animals do not experience pain and emotion in the same way that we do because they lack language and the power of abstract thought
* AGAINST: An animal’s life is equal to a human’s and we have no right to assume otherwise simply because animals cannot express their pain and suffering in words

* FOR: Animals are the best way to test vaccines, because it would be unethical to give a human a vaccine, and then to try to give them HIV to see if it works.
* AGAINST: It is no more ethical to give an animal a life-threatening illness than it is to give one to a human.

* FOR: SIV-infected chimps and Rhesus macaques are good substitutes for humans, and make drug and vaccine development far more simple
* AGAINST: Monkeys and chimpanzees do not have identical immune systems to humans, and may not respond to drugs or vaccines in the same way. Rhesus macaques also cannot be directly infected with HIV. No HIV vaccine has yet been developed, despite many years of animal involvement.

* FOR: Any differences between animal and human biology are generally known, and can be factored in to experiments
* AGAINST: This overlooks the effect that stress may have on the normal functioning of an animal’s body, which may in turn affect the results of the experiment

* FOR: Not testing new pharmaceutical products on animals is highly dangerous
* AGAINST: Animals are often poor substitutes for humans, and some compounds that may well cause no harm to an animal, could seriously harm a human being. Likewise, a drug that is toxic to the animal it is tested on, may have no toxicity, and even therapeutic benefits in humans.

* FOR: There are no viable alternatives to testing pharmaceutical products for safety on animals. Scientists already use in-vitro studies and computer models, and animal testing comes only after these tests have been performed. If a drug fails either test, it will not be given to animals anyway.
* AGAINST: Studies have suggested that ‘micro-dosing’ (where only a tiny amount of a product is given to a human through the skin) could be a new and very effective alternative to animal experiments 7. The recent news that scientists have grown a small piece of human liver tissue from stem cells could also mean that it may one day be possible to perform initial ‘human’ safety trials in a lab8.

* FOR: There are very strong laws in place to ensure that distress and pain in animals is kept to an absolute minimum
* AGAINST: Pain and suffering still occur, and simply being in captivity can cause great distress to an animal, just as it would to a human. Plus, animal testing facilities cannot be monitored at all times, so the sort of treatment animals receive on a daily basis can never truly be known.

* FOR: It is a legal requirement that drugs are tested on animals for safety in the majority of countries. Scientists have no choice in this matter.
* AGAINST: Perhaps if laws on the necessity for animal testing were relaxed, or animal safety-testing were banned, it would encourage scientists to develop other methods of testing toxicity that were equally effective. At the moment, they have no incentive to do so, so only a small handful of alternatives are being tested.

* FOR: No scientist wants to cause any more injury to an animal than is strictly necessary. Most scientists build up strong attachments to the animals they use in their experiments.
* AGAINST: This may be the case, but it is also very easy to become blasé about something that you do every day, and forget the pain and suffering your work is inflicting. Animals may well become little more than useful objects of study, rather than live creatures, and this can mean they are treated as disposable rather than indispensable.

Maria asks…

Why do I hate people so much? Why do stress over the little things?

I spend hours in the night thinking about all the bad people in my school/life have done to me. I honestly cant describe my feelings because its complicated, but it irks me and stresses me out when i have to deal with PEOPLE. I have mental breakdowns over ignorant/offensive comments, racism, how rude people can be on the bus or in my school, etc…. Why do i emotionally over react over everything? I wish there was a person or place where i can let all my paranoia, stress, and emotions out because i dont feel well mentally everyday when I stress over eveything that happens.

Insomnia Stress answers:

Unless you pick up the skills from your family, you probably will have to overcome a lot of things in life, perhaps anger, jealousy, loneliness, boredom and who knows what else. It takes some work. The trick is that all the answers are online. It’s just a matter of doing the work to find the websites with really good information that is totally satisfying and also using your intuition with the information.

Http://intuition.jigsy.com for quotes on the importance of intuition. Especially note the quotes from Einstein.

Some other subjects to get you started, google ‘emotional intelligence’ and ‘social intelligence’. The idea that helped me a lot is that these people are fearful and uncomfortable with people they can’t relate to. Mostly they will end up following you if you remain strong. Your strength helps them to be stronger so you are actually helping them get out of their rather small worlds. Do the work and you will find most and maybe all people you encounter will come to be a lot of fun and they can also help you in a million ways. You will be glad you took the trouble to do the work. Good luck.

Steven asks…

What are some quotes and examples assessing the value and importance of knowledge as a theme in “The Bet”?

I am writing a literary analysis on, ” The Bet” By: Anton Chekhov. I am having a hard time finding quotes and examples assessing the value importance of knowledge as a theme from the short story. I would prefer, 4-5 quotes from the story, and an explanation on how it shows the importance of knowledge in this story.

Thanks!!

Insomnia Stress answers:

For starters, we should start with asking what the theme is. I think the theme is that there is more to life than money and that human knowledge is worth more than money will ever be. So, I think the author is trying to say those things in this story.

So, obviously, he is trying to stress the importance of these things. The first thing he does is uses time to show this. He uses a situation where someone learns this lesson over time. The lawyer basically has the choice between money or a new start. Instead of claiming the money, he chooses to take the knowledge that he has learned from the books to start a new life.

The author also shows the drastic difference between the lawyer and the banker. The banker, after fifteen years, still only cared about the money. He cared about the money so much; he was almost willing to kill the lawyer so he didn’t have to lose the bet and his two million dollars. Again, the lawyer didn’t care about the money after fifteen years of confinement.

In the lawyer’s notes, he claimed that he doesn’t care about freedom or money anymore, basically giving up on worldly things because he claims that knowledge is more important. He says that it angers him how these are things that human take advantage of.

I have more that i wrote, but i’m leaving my school now so i can’t write anymore. Haha. Hope this helps!

John asks…

How do I pick a homeowners insurance company, if all there rates are similiar?

Obtained several different quotes, from several different companies. Numbers are not that far off from each other. What should I be asking that would make one stand out from the next. They all also offer same discount if I add my auto also.

Insomnia Stress answers:

Ask your friends if they have had positive or negative experiences with any of the carriers on your list. You might want to shop your auto and homeowners together and see which carrier will offer the least expensive package.

Don’t forget about service though, I can’t stress this enough. Just today, I wrote a client who had bought car insurance over the internet, had a bad claim and was unsatisfied with the service. We got her back because she knew that she could always come in and speak with us (as opposed to a website). That’s just my small plug for independent agents (can you guess that I am one?).

Robert asks…

I’m in my final year of uni and the stress is really getting to me, how can I cope better?

I’ve almost finished my first semester of my third year and I feel completely overwhelmed by everything. It’s getting to the stage where I’m starting to feel ridiculously stressed by the smallest things. I’ve started finding it hard to go to lectures too, due to feeling so ridiculously behind with everything, but that just makes it worse. I’m finding it hard to sleep, as soon as I try my mind just starts buzzing with everything that I need to be doing.

I’ve tried writing things down, and making lists of what needs to be done but they haven’t really helped at all.

Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with so much stress? I feel on the verge of panic.

Insomnia Stress answers:

I don’t know if this is the answer you are looking for, but please ponder it for a moment or two. You may be too far behind in some of your classes to get the grade you desire. I believe the cause of your stress may be that you are in danger of not getting the grades you envisioned yourself getting. Realistically evaluate your effort, what needs too be done, and what grade you will actually obtain. You may fail, period. Accept it, then do what you can. There is no need to stress over what can’t be done. If it can be done do it, but be realistic. Validate your opinion with facts.

On a personal note I recommend some “you” time. Watch the progression of dusk. Smell a flower. Take a moment to watch the birds and appreciate your existence. Appreciate it in your own way. Life is great.

I hope this all helps. Also notice all the people that answered your request. We’re rooting for you!

And some quotes for you:
“Ignorance is not bliss; it is unconsciousness and slavery.” John Dewey

“There is a tide in the affairs of men.
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.” -From Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar”

Your Questions About Sleeping Bear Dunes

Chris asks…

What is a good day trip from Chicago?

I want to go somewhere in Michigan with visiting family, can anyone recommend somewhere either on the lake or some vineyards?? thanks!

Insomnia Stress answers:

Traverse City. They have 2 major bays off of Lake Michigan to swim in. Pay the extra cost to get into the State Park beach – it’s all sand in the lake, not rocks. If you want to play beach volleyball, rent a water trampoline, rent jet skis, ride in a parasail, or rent water bikes, you can on East Bay. There is an awesome volleyball beach on West Bay as well. Take a drive up Old Mission Peninsula to get a nice view of both lakes, some beautiful castle-like houses and wineries, cherry groves, and fieds of grapes…some of the most beautiful views in Michigan. At the end of the peninsula is a lighthouse and a beach. Make sure you gas up before you drive up the peninsula because there is no gas station up there. In Traverse City, you can visit Moomers, where they raise the cows and make the ice cream all in one place. And they have tons of flavors.

Otherwise, visit the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes.

David asks…

Which place in the world has the most diverse climates and landscapes in the most compact area?

What I mean is: Which region of the world has mountains, deserts, forests, snow regions, etc. in the smallest area possible? I know, for example, that California has all those features within its boundaries, but is there a smaller place that features them all?

Insomnia Stress answers:

Michigan, perhaps.
* Oldest mountains in North American (Porcupine Mountains).
* No deserts, but a lot of sand dunes (Sleeping Bear Dunes, Saugatuck Dunes, for example).
* Hundreds of islands.
* Heavily forested (Hiawatha National Forest, Ottawa National Forest, for example).
* Snowy in the winter.
* Many bogs and swamps.
* Thousands of miles of shoreline.
* Hundreds (thousands?) of beaches.
* Four Great Lakes.
* 11000+ inland lakes.
* Hundreds of rivers, streams, and bayous.
* Hundreds of water falls.
* Rocky outcroppings (Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, for example).
* Lowest point in United States (depths of Lake Superior, 732 feet below sea level, hundreds of feet deeper than Death Valley).

William asks…

Where is a good place to go within 5 or 6 hours of Macomb, MI?

I am feeling the itch for a roadtrip. Someplace not to expensive, preferably somewhere I can camp as well to save money!

Insomnia Stress answers:

My buddies and I always used to take road trips to Interlochen State Park up near Sleeping Bear Dunes. Plenty of stuff to do up there. Or, if you are feeling adventurous you can go to Canada and go to The Pinery Provincial Park. That place really brings a younger crowd. There is a strip of bars right outside the gate where a lot of the campers go. Highly recommend that if you are over 19. Have fun.

Paul asks…

Who has the best state in the union?

I want to hear from one person from each state. Tell me the best attraction in your state. I might want to visit.

Sleeping Bear Dunes.
Pictured Rocks.
Porqupine Mountains.
Mackinac Island.
Tahquamenon Falls.
Isle Royale.

Joseph asks…

Best all girl get away in the Midwest for a long weekend?

I am looking for something to do with several friends over a long weekend here in the Midwest. I am coming out of Wisconsin. In the past we have gone to Minneapolis and Milwaukee. I heard that Ohio? had some great wineries and I know that Door County is fun.

Any other suggestions?

Insomnia Stress answers:

Traverse City, Michigan. If you have the funds, take the car ferry from Manitowoc to Ludington. Otherwise, head north up US-41 until you get to the state line, then make your way to US-2 east to St, Ignace. Cross the Mackinac Bridge, and head south on I-75 until you reach the US-31 exit. Then head south on US-31 all the way to TC.
Or, if it’s more convenient for you, drive through Chicago and take I-94 east until you reach I-196 north,and take that to Grand Rapids. From GR, take US-131 north to Kalkaska, and head west on M-72.
Or, you could fly in, via United, American, or Delta.
Why TC? We have some wineries of our own, and the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, and the Interlochen Center for the Arts here. And I haven’t even slipped in a shameless plug for the place where I work, Turtle Creek Casino and Hotel (www.casino2win.com) (Oops, I just did.) yet.

Your Questions About Insomnia Cures

Thomas asks…

What is the best way to cure insomnia?

I am suffering from insomnia. please help and give your best advice.

Insomnia Stress answers:

I am a clinical hypnotherapist and have helped numerous people overcome the problem of not being able to get a good nights sleep. In my experience in fact, it is one of the problems that is most easily addressed. There are two types of insomnia; when people struggle to fall asleep and when they struggle to stay asleep. Both forms can be treated well by the application of hypnosis. Self hypnosis can be also be taught easily to enable the you to achieve a nice relaxed state to allow you to sleep and stay sleep whenever you need to. When there is a known cause to the insomnia, for example anxiety, this can be addressed using a range or therapeutic tools which include timeline regression and a range of Neuro Lingustic programming (NLP) techniques.

Alternative methods for ensuring a good night sleep include ensuring you have plenty of exercise or drink hot milk before bed but this is more appropriate to people struggling to fall asleep in the first instance. If you are constantly waking up then I would suggest that might be anxiety related.

Good luck with whatever you decide but the above offers a drug free and long term solution to the problem.

Dave Chewter
Clinical Hypnotherapist

James asks…

How do you create a form of insomnia?

I wish to train myself into a sleepless state for my own reasons. This would benefit me ALOT, is there any way to make yourself have insomnia?

Insomnia Stress answers:

Well, I hope you know that without sleep, your immune system will be terrible. You’ll be in a constant state of sleepiness and you won’t be able to do things you could do easily before because your brain doesn’t function properly. Memorization and math problems will be more difficult than they should be.
Also, insomnia doesn’t necessarily mean not sleeping at all. Insomnia can be waking up constantly during the night, or even sleeping all night and not achieving deep sleep so you’re still tired.

If you really want insomnia, having a stressful life helps. If you look up ways to cure insomnia, you can cause trouble sleeping by doing exactly the opposite of what they tell you to do. For example, you aren’t supposed to do any stimulating activity within a few hours of your bedtime. Run around or watch television before bed.

Charles asks…

Can someone contract sporadic fatal insomnia from a surgery?

I had a tonsil removal surgery in 1995 (while I was 5 years old, now I’m 20).

I have symptoms of SFI I think……..I have a progressive insomnia, can’t sleep even when I am deadly tired, I sweat, and feel shaky.

Is it normal insomnia? FFI is not running in my family, but I am worried about contracting the disease from a surgery.

Insomnia Stress answers:

Batman Betmenovic,
Sporadic fatal insomnia (SFI) is a disorder characterized by untreatable insomnia, loss of coordination, and death. While SFI is similar to fatal familial insomnia (FFI), SFI occurs without the genetic mutation that causes FFI. Sporadic fatal insomnia is a type of insomnia that is not caused by stress, diet, changes in lifestyle, medications, etc. This type of insomnia is caused by a protein in the body called a prion. The prion somehow becomes malformed and affects one specific area of the brain. The area of the brain that is affected is the thalamus and the function of the thalamus is that portion of the brain that influences an individual’s sleep. The similarity between sporadic fatal insomnia and mad cow disease are physiologically connected as both conditions are caused by the same deformed protein.

ALL ANSWERS SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY RESEARCHED, IN ANY FORUM AND ESPECIALLY IN THIS ONE. – MANY ANSWERS ARE FLAWED.

It is extremely important to obtain an accurate diagnosis before trying to find a cure. Many diseases and conditions share common symptoms.

The information provided here should not be used during any medical emergency or for the diagnosis or treatment of any medical condition. A licensed physician should be consulted for diagnosis and treatment of any and all medical conditions.

Lizzie asks…

How is oven baked chicken better for you than fried?

I tried a new oven baked chicken recipe that was very good, but I’m confused as to how it is supposed to be so much better for you than frying. I prepared in exactly the same way I prepare chicken to fry except instead of frying it in a little olive oil I baked it with a little butter drizzled on top (as according to the recipe). What is so much better about this method?

Insomnia Stress answers:

The other answers are correct but lets go a little further into it.
There are different types of fats, and not all are harmful. When “fried” chicken was said to be bad for you it was because of the saturated fats that were available to fry the chicken in. Today we have much better alternatives and “fried” chicken is not so bad anymore provided you use the right oil.
Knowing the difference between saturated fats and unsaturated fats, which are two main types of fats found in food, could help lower your cholesterol. While both unsaturated fat and saturated fat are in a variety of foods, studies have found that these fats are not created equally. Unsaturated fats can be beneficial to your heart, whereas saturated fats could be detrimental to your cholesterol and your heart.
Saturated fats are found in animal products and processed foods, such as meats, dairy products, chips, and pastries. The chemical structure of a saturated fat is fully saturated with hydrogen atoms, and does not contain double bonds between carbon atoms. Saturated fats are not heart healthy, since they are most known for raising your LDL cholesterol (“bad” cholesterol).
Unsaturated fats, on the other hand, are found foods such as nuts, avocados, and olives. They are liquid at room temperature and differ from saturated fats in that their chemical structure contains double bonds. Additionally, studies have shown that unsaturated fats are also heart-healthy fats – they have the ability to lower LDL cholesterol and raise HDL cholesterol (“good” cholesterol).
For healthy cooking the best oil to use is CANOLA OIL, not only is this oil not bad for you it is actually GOOD for you in moderate amounts and you don’t overdo it.

Paul asks…

Your Questions About Fatigue Technology

Lisa asks…

What to take for a really bad respiratory infection?

My friend has a really bad RI I told her to take Zinc,Vit C, and echinicha. Is there anything else that she should be taking??
Thanks!

Insomnia Stress answers:

Garlic, organically grown. Chicken soup. Aspirin (OhMyGAWD!! )fresh fruit or Citric juices. (fresh oranges are picked green, juiced oranges were picked ripe…remember that)
See a doctor if there is chest pain or severe throat pain. I don’t trust doctors, but sometimes you have to accept the technology which community living requires.
Strep throat and pneumonia are deadly, and as long as someone doesn’t live a life that prevents these things (fresh air, minimal social contact, healthy foods from healthy soil, proper sleep, etc.), they have to accept the compensating medical care that comes as a requirement of modern living.
It could be just a virus. (cough, fever, aches, fatigue) no sharp pains anywhere) Advice for that is on the NyQuil bottle.

This isn’t medical advice, it’s just lifestyle advice.

Steven asks…

I need external beam radiation for prostate cancer will I feel fatigued?

They say there’s less of that than there was a few years ago? 5 weeks 5 days a week.

Insomnia Stress answers:

There is a propensity for health professionals to say there is less of everything bad, such as side effects; and more of everything good, such as benefits and healing, due to technology and better skills. So, hope it applies to your prostate radiation too. Different men respond differently and fatigue is always possible. Offset that with B12, man’s formula vitamins, and exercise.

Robert asks…

What about men jogging and cycling wearing pantyhose for warmth and leg fatigue?

I’m a married guy, no interest in men, so please spare me the ‘gay’ responses…

I will often wear tan pantyhose with shorts when the weather is cool/cold to jog and to go cycling. It’s very comfortable and, in my opinion, helps keep the leg fatigue down….
I’ve never had any weird or bad reactions to it, and quite honestly, try not to notice because I really find them useful and comfortable. I typically wear Leggs Sheer Energy. They tend to hold up well while jogging and cycling.

So what’s everyone’s thoughts about this great idea in legwear for active guys??

Insomnia Stress answers:

Well as long as you are comfortable thats what matters. But if your wife says it bothers her, why not invest in the new smart technology fabrics that are thinner and better at moisture control, heat control, etc? I am sure they make black leggings or something that you could use in addition to your shorts, or instead of.
I personally wouldn’t mind if my guy wore them, as long as he wasn’t stealing mine. Or stopping at the local grocery store or coffeehouse in them.

Lizzie asks…

Can you suggest good remedy for Dryness in Eyes or Tear glands?

I wear contact Lens and I’m IT consultant. Due to my work Profile I suffer dryness in my eyes. I have used all sorts of remedies, eye drops and treatments. I don’t want to go for surgery. Well, I had problem in tear gland as told by doctor. Is there any eye consultant or doctor who can help me or else some good wishes.

Insomnia Stress answers:

Hi, wearing a contact lens is not really good as for what i learned because it really can cause dryness and irritating to your eyes. The only advantage of wearing those are for aesthetic purposes only.if your eyes is really need lens, i suggest go for a spectacles, because it is definitely more safe than contact lens. Being work from a IT department, i believe that your work is always computer or any technologies.. I suggest to give your eyes some rest everytime you work, because looking on the monitor for period of hours could strain and fatigue your ocular muscles, the eye muscles. Or, use artificial tears like eye-mo, the blue one, to give your eyes a lubricant so therefore prevent drying of your eyes but just for a meantime. However,, what i have suggested were not totally 100% effective, so, the best thing you do is to go to ophthalmologist and submit to them your concern, they were the authorized persons that could definitely help you. =)

David asks…

How long can you live with multiple bone metastases?

My mum got breastcancer a year and a half ago and had surgery twice. Now she is diagnosed with multiple bone metasases. How long can she live with it? Has anyone any experience?

Insomnia Stress answers:

I am so sorry to hear of your mums illness. No one can predict what her life expectancy is. My mother went through almost the exact same thing. I moved in with my parents to take care of her. We never lost hope, but she did pass away @ 9 mos. Later.
That was over 15 years ago and the technology of fighting cancers has advanced a great deal. My experience was that it gave my mother and I time to mend fences, to become friends, to take the time to develop a deep and abiding love which truly death is unable to lessen. As Christians we have the distinct and intractable faith that we will meet again.
There will be times when terse words may be exchanged… Quickly apologize and extend forgiveness, she’s not going to be feeling well and sometimes family takes the brunt of it. Let it go.
There will be times you are fatigued and stressed, find someone else to talk with so that you eliminate the potential of venting on your mum.
Love her, love her, love her. Laugh, cry, tell her your dreams, listen to hers. Do this and you will have no regret if the cancer is not arrested, and she leaves this earth too soon.
Do this and you will have no regret if the cancer is arrested and she lives out the rest of her days cancer free.
