@HAGITLOVE & Gasokai thanks for the feedback!

Mariah Carey has had more #1 songs ever than anyone else except the Beatles. So she thinks that she is super-human just like you do. Several years ago she had a nervous breakdown. She said that it was due to lack of sleep.

you jump to several illogical conclusions in this statement. first off... I never said i thought i was super-human. secondly, the tiny bit of data you present about mariah carey cannot possibly lead to the conclusions you have made about her situation. You don't know that she thinks she is super human, and just because she said it was due to a lack of sleep doesn't mean that's true. maybe she wants to believe it was lack of sleep, but it was actually due to emotional stress, drugs, or some other problem we don't know about. additionally, even if it was a lack of sleep, that doesn't tell us how much sleep she got, or how much she should have gotten. maybe she was only sleeping for 3 hours per night, and should have been sleeping for 6.

Also, I'm not sure what the definition of a "nervous breakdown" is. Does that mean that she was hospitalized and unable to operate on a normal basis for months-years? or maybe it means she was sad for a couple of days or a week and cried a lot and didn't leave the house. maybe it means that while in a public place, she acted contrary to what spectators thought to be normal, and other people decided it was a nervous breakdown.

If you need 12 hours sleep then you have another problem like depression or a brain tumor. See a good ND to see if he can figure it out. You could have mono. You could have Epstein-Barr. You could have tiny holes in your colon. You could have candida overgrowth."

I don't need 12 hours of sleep. I said that sometimes I sleep for 12 hours (usually not 12 straight hours, but maybe 6 hours, then i wake up, then a few more, and i wake up and roll over again, etc). I was saying this to make the point that my body is capable of sleeping longer than needed. As for all of the diseases you listed... I don't know much about them, and I suppose it's possible that I'm afflicted by one or the other, or something similar... But honestly, I believe it's unlikely enough that I don't want to spend money to ask a doctor what he thinks... And as I'm not well educated in the medical field, I don't think I'm qualified to determine for myself if i do have these conditions... Maybe I'm wrong and there's an easy check, but I haven't done the research, nor have I thought it necessary to spend the time researching it. If someone knows of an easy way to determine if i have one of those exotic diseases, please let me know. Otherwise I'll have to live with the slight uncertainty for a while.

Also keep in mind that you pay someone and they try to help you for money like a prostitute. But nobody really cares about you except for you. "Physician heal thyself."

I like that =) It'd be nice to be able to care for all of my own medical needs without having to pay a doctor. I currently have a minor wound on my foot that I think may have gotten infected... but I'm trying to just keep it as clean as possible (i think it got infected before i started taking care of it...lol) and let it heal on its own. I doubt a doctor would really have much more to offer than what I'm doing on my own. At the same time... if anything too out of the ordinary starts happening.. I may wanna get it checked out!
