Avatar n tn If u can buy a eucalyptus forehead stick. They have it for children. I've had several migraine' s and headaches and started using the forehead stick you just run it across your forehead and within sort of 20 mins it relaxes and eases off. I also found that alongside a lollipop did the trick...
Avatar m tn Hi there N0HARD I googled it and found some very informative answers about massage. Massage is definitely a good thing and I plan to have a body massage at least once a week.Internal massage is possible and it may work for some and I hope I gain something out of it. Keep you posted re this new device.
Avatar f tn re probably just starting to get fluid build up. Try massage or wearing compression socks, both really work well for my swelling and itchiness.
Avatar m tn massage stomach area 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes before sleep. The person posted this method has Diabetic type 1 and now he claimed complete recovered. He wrote some details how to massage and I am still trying to understanding the details now.
Avatar m tn t afford a professional massage or chiropractic therapy. Besides exercises and the like, are there any other milder pain medication. besides Ibuprofen and aspirin that I can take that have no side effects and/or are not addictive? I also inquired about cortisone shots and am not too impressed with that either. I also would like to know how long will this pain last if I do all the right things? I'm 59 years old and pretty healthy from all respects.
Avatar m tn The numbness and tingling in the arm after getting up from sleep can be due to bad posture, nerve compression, deep vein thrombosis or sleep disorder. Change your posture, move about the arm, gently massage it and see if it helps. It can also be a peripheral neuropathy as in diabetes and thyroid disorders. The best thing would be to consult a general practitioner or PCP and try and assess what is the cause of your problem.
Avatar f tn Some metabolic disorders like diabetes mellitus and thyroid disorders are known to simulate these symptoms. Discuss these options with your consulting doctor, who will carry out blood tests and x rays to rule out these conditions. You seem to be very anxious and in pain, take OTC pain medications like Tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen. Try applying local analgesic creams. Place ice over the painful area every 1-2hrs for pain relief. Practice relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation.
Avatar m tn Thanks Cindy. I will take a look. Just got back from the hearing specialist and they want me to get hearing aids. I guess diabetes are twice as likely to have hearing lose.
Avatar n tn s the doc or clinic where your boderline diabetes is managed); or contact that office and see if they recommend you go directly to a dermatologist. Most likely it's nothing serious, but direct clinical evaluation is the only way to go. (That is, don't try to continue any efforts to figure it out on line.) In the meantime, you can dismiss herpes, HIV, syphilis, and all other STDs.
Avatar m tn I am really sorry you are having this problem. I think many diabetic men suffer from this problem. At least, they talk about the men. Women with diabetes have it too but they can easier fake it, and they don't have to do what you need to do, and which is get a hard penis. The very best thing you can try is to get your blood sugars under as good as control as possible, and I am sure you already know that all. I don't know if medications like viagra help.
Avatar f tn t too hard and i also have a good amount of knowledge on nutrition and have a close friend with diabetes so i know how she eats. and another important part to stabilize and regulated your blood sugar is too eat frequently which is whats with all the snacks. hope this helps some more.
Avatar f tn Your breastmilk may also come in later, around week 35, you should see a specialists for your breastmilk and she will examine you and show you how to massage them and to hopefully stimulate milk flow. This is one thing your hospital should monitor closely for a few days before they release you two home again. They will also test your babys bloodsugar levels and of course yours. You have 1/3 chance that you'll STILL have diabetes after birth.
Avatar n tn So I asked about possible stds from a happy ending massage and was told zero risk. However I can’t figure out what is going on with me. I have had increased thirst and increase as urination, dry mouth, my penis is shrinking up inside me and makes daily task uncomfortable. It is uncomfortable when I sit (like pressure). Today woke up feeling slightly nauseas and fuzzy headed. I have not had any discharge from my penis that I can tell, even though at times it feels like it could be leaking.
431950 tn?1262819314 There are various things you can try such as especially designed insoles, night splints and wraps. Besides this there are various massage therapies, stretch exercises, and pressure point stimulation by trained specialists. Hope this helps. I think you should discuss these possibilities with your doctor. It is difficult to comment beyond this without examining. A comprehensive investigation is required keeping all the points in mind.
Avatar f tn I'm a massage therapist. You can go onto labor with reflexology of the feet, hand and even during some massages where pressure points are used. Let the therapist know your pregnant AMD how far along you are. And please, make sure they are trained in prenatal massage. So many say they are and don't have a clue. Ease of mind ask for license and if possible, educational background. Massage dulas are awesome if you want one in the delivery room. Little costly but wonderful.
Avatar n tn If I do dishes or fold a load of laundry, my arms become useless and ragdoll-like and my elbows and hands feel like they are buzzing. The fingertips are numb. (I was tested for Myasthenia Gravis in the past and it came out negative.) Any ideas what else this could be or what else I should be tested for? It's not letting up at all.
177019 tn?1258150191 has anyone else taken it, and been diagnosed with gestational diabetes? just curious. my count was 150 when i failed the initial labs. this really *****, and i'm wondering if anyone else is in the same boat!
Avatar f tn The spasms could be due to gas as this in diabetes there is a slowing down of gut movement, constipation, gas and bloating. It can also be due to food poisoning or gastroenteritis. PCOD is also a cause of cramps and so is pelvic inflammatory disease. IBS, Crohn’s and celiac disease too should be ruled out. Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral. Hope this helps. Take care!
Avatar m tn If it does not respond to drug, you may try some massage like exercise called male deer exercise, kegel exercise, or internal prostate massage, abdominal prostate massage, peripheral anal prostate massage and inner thigh massgae and perineum massage. you can get detail from google. You may pick up any exercise you like.You may keep in mind the contraindication suggested for each exercise.
Avatar m tn Your diabetes is a factor, also. I would advise you to work with a urologist, and if you have, go to another as a second opinion.
Avatar m tn Try to rest as much as possible and elevate your leg. Apply ice for up to 15 minutes and gently stretch and massage cramping muscles. Pain relievers can also relieve the pain.If these do not help, it is best that you see your doctor for further evaluation. Take care and keep us posted.
Avatar m tn However, undue force should not be used. You could take iron and multivitamin pill. Keep the hair and scalp clean. Use mild shampoo. And, get a blood test done to see whether anemia, diabetes or hypothyroidism is the cause of hair fall. Also, rule out the possibility of dandruff as the cause. If you have dandruff (flakes of dead skin coming off the scalp) then please consult a skin specialist for proper treatment. Take care!
Avatar m tn Oral sex has two things that make it a non risk, saliva and air. Air inactivates the virus and saliva has enzymes in it that inactivate the virus. So, this is not a risk, you don't need to test and can move on without fear from your exposure.
Avatar n tn Since you had the symptoms of light- headedness after standing for a long time and post massage, you must rule out clots in deep veins and deep vein thrombosis. Else it could be a simple case of low sugar or vaso-vagal attack. Hope this helps. I think you should discuss these possibilities with your doctor. It is difficult to comment beyond this without examining. You may need to consult a vascular surgeon. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
