I have this twitching thing. It started in 3rd grade and suddenly, I started twitching. Then it died off, and then it came back around middle school. It's been 3 years since it came back.
People question be a lot, asking if I have the hiccups or I'm cold or what the heck I'm doing. I get VERY embarrassed because of it.
It just mostly happens with my body, like my arm and my torso, sometimes my legs and head. It happens from times to times, but sometimes one twitch is "stronger" then the usual.
I saw MANY doctors, one of them told it was called a "tic", I done acupuncture, MRI scans, and many more stuff. None of them seem to work, I'm still twitching to this day.
My parents think it may be led to being stress about stuff. I'm not sure.. it it could be.

So anyway, does anyone know exactly WHAT it is and how to treat it?
Thanks.

How do I get rid of my Husbands headaches?

 

My husband has had chronic migraines since he was in 3rd grade. Since then (he's 32 now) he's been on extreme doses of Motrin, Aspirin, Tylenol, Vicoden, Darvocet and everything in between. He's been to countless doctors since the migraines started. I've been with him for almost 5 years and we have tried everything. I took him for an MRI and he's had blood work done. There's no tumors, no blockages.
Caffeine sometimes helps a lil bit. Sleeping helps, but he obviously cant sleep when he's at work or school. So we are at a loss as to what to do...
Does anyone know of anything that could help him out? Maybe an at home remedy? Something you cant just pick up at the drug store (we've tried them all). I would say acupuncture but he's scared to death of needles.
Please HELP!!!!!

If I want to learn TCM and Acupuncture and Herbology, where would I go to learn in the Midwest?

 

I live in southern MO and do not know what to look for in a school of this nature? I know the West coast has the best options but moving there is just not an option at this time? Any suggestions?

I want to study Chinese medicine/Herbal therapy/Acupuncture? What do I look for in a school/teacher?

 

I know the "best" types of schools in this discipline are on the coasts, specifically the west coast. But I live in the Midwest/Central states region and want to know my best options in this region or what to look for exactly when selecting a school to best gain knowledge in this area.

what kind of degree do you need to have to get into an oriental medicine program?

 

I'm interested in becoming an acupuncture and oriental medicine practitioner but need to know what type of degree you need to have as a prerequisite into the accredited programs in California. I took some classes at a university but never finished my degree. I graduated from a vocational school for nursing instead. I need to know the steps I need to take to reach my goal, however long it takes. Anyone with any information or experience would be greatly appreciated.
Please just answer the question and don't make it a debate. First answer did not help.

Are there jobs out there for 3 or 4 days a week as a physician’s assistant?

 

I have 2 very young kids and am considering returning to school to become a physician's assistant.

What is wrong with me? (Mental fogginess, numb, out of myself)?

 

I don't know what's wrong with me, I've researched and can't fin anything.
I'm 15 years old.
Recently I have been feeling very numb but only in mi mind, I feel so out of myself, I can't organize my thoughts, I go from activity to activity without even thinking and finishing it. I haven't been having as much fun as I had, because I'm kind of rushing in every activity I do, I can't FOCUS, I don't have any mental clarity, and I kind of forget many things. I also have a lot of anxiety, and before I had been treated with some gentle medicines for it, and acupuncture, and the symptoms have absolutely reduced to almost none, but now, out of the blue, I almost fainted at school and then all this happened.
I need help to know at least what I have! Please!

Acupuncture needle broke off and piece of metal has been in my skin for over 5 years. What to do?

 

Over 5 years ago I was in like 7th grade and i was receiving acupuncture. I remember that the needle came out and after that I could always feel the small tip of the needle in my neck. I never told anyone though. I am a senior in high school now and it just came into my mind. It doesn't bother me at all but I still feel it there in the same spot in my neck. Should I do anything about this. Get it removed?
thanks
Sorry, but it is still there. I remember since it happened I was able to feel the needle. I could squeeze two ends and I would feel the prick of the needle on both sides inside my skin. Ever since then I have felt it in the same spot. It is not as defined as it originally was, but you can feel something there.

Help with college and sexual confusion?

 

I have a problem. On my computer, I have two browsers installed - Chrome and Internet Explorer. I use Chrome for day-to-day activities, and I use Internet Explorer exclusively for porn.

Being a high school senior, I'm going through this college application process. I applied to MIT, which was no problem, because the MIT website is compatible with Chrome.

I decided that I would also like to apply to Harvard. However, the Harvard application website (Common App) is not compatible with Chrome. I am therefore forced to use Internet Explorer.

So I opened up Internet Explorer and started filling out the blanks, until I realized that unconsciously, I was a little bit aroused. I feel disturbed and more than a little sexually confused about this whole thing. I can't work on my Harvard application for more than two minutes at a time before being wholly consumed by disillusionment and self-loathing.

What should I do? I have tried everything from testicular acupuncture to furious, furious masturbation. I already got into MIT. Is this degrading shot at the pinnacle of higher education worth it? The deadline is January 1st. Help me out.
