Hi,

I am 49 years old with a 5 1/2 and a 8 year old little princess. Yes, I started late in life and have been blessed so much. I have been having these hot flashes for about 3 years now about 3 or 4 times a week in the middle of the night. I really don’t have night sweats on my chest but on my back and my palms get really hot sometimes late at night. It may last up to an hour sometimes. I still have my monthly cycle and it is regular. So, they seem more severe around that time of the month. I also had a test done 3 years ago at my doctors office to see if I was going thru menepause. It came back normal. How long can these hot flashes go on and could it be something else?

Is having a premature infant hereditary? I had a 24 weeker and my baby sister had a 32 weeker; however, my middle sister had a full-term baby. Are we, myself and baby sister, genetically predisposed to having premature babies?

I’ve had insomnia since I was a little boy. My mom will testify to that. It has gotten worse over the past year. I’ve seen a sleep doctor and he says there is no reason for me not to sleep well. My primary doctor wants to do a narcolepsy study. I’ve done everything – no tv, exercise regularly, don’t drink caffeine, go to bed at the same time every night, etc. Nothing seems to work. I also have a prescription for the highest dose of Ambien. I always wake up after about three or four hours anyway and can’t go back to sleep. I seem to wake up at night no matter how tired I seem. I’ve tried other sleep aids and they don’t work either. I’m getting very tired of being tired all the time. Also, I have Crohn’s Disease but no one has ever said anthything about the two being related or about the medications as all the side effects are drowsiness and so on and so forth. Any alternate ideas?

Hello, readers. I’m the online Health editor for ajc.com. First, thank you for your questions. Please keep them coming. The writers are reading all your inquiries and choosing the best topic to blog on each week. Some of the inquiries might be too personal and too specific for the medical professionals to respond to. However, they’ll blog on the topics to which you’re bringing our attention. Some of the blog posts were published because of the sheer time element. Breaking news matters. For example, the Salmonella outbreak is very crucial for us to discuss right now. Please be patient, and keep the questions coming. Thank you.

I have non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and my doctor at Emory is just watching it as this time. My question is, is it okay for me to use a natural hair color on my hair? Thanks!
