Avatar n tn t know if your rhythm issue is AF or not. If it is, there is a blog for hikers and runners with AF and they talk about high altitude climbs. See afibrunners blog.
Avatar m tn Welcome back to the forum. Thanks for the clarification below. I assumed that by "receptive" you meant you were the oral partner, but it's good to know with certainty. CDC has published an estimate that if a penile parther has HIV, a partner performing fellatio has 1 chance in 10,000 of being infected. That's equivalent to performing oral on infected men once daily for 27 years before transmission might be anticipated.

"If we were in New York City right now, I could be arrested and sentenced to a year in prison for carrying these knives," he told me as we stood in line at the counter.

Avatar f tn ve experienced this lightning pain, and although I have 3 weeks to wait for my appointment with the neurologist I am certain that this is due to spinal cord compression in the cerivcle spine(neck). I have weakness in my R leg and loss of sensation, I have nerve pain in both arms and have scoliosis(curved spine). I get vertigo(dizziness), headaches which are usually on 1 side or the back of my head and visual disturbances along with forgetfulness too.
Avatar f tn Anyone else have that lightning crotch feeling? I'm 39 weeks and one day, and I'm getting them non stop. I'm miserable, I just need to have my baby boy already!
Avatar n tn Swelling...I can't tell just by looking at mine that they are swollen, but its the same kind of feeling when I go hiking. Which is pretty common with hikers to also get swelling in their hands and arms. Doesnt hurt but feels tight. I'm 36 weeks and definitely have that issue in my hands too. Kind of hard to grab things as easily?
Avatar f tn I know lightning is when the baby begins to drop...but can you FEEL this happening?! How do you know?!
1649704 tn?1402778437 You know, why would you be out and about "hiking" in such a tense and stressed part of the globe to begin with... especially without a reputable guide? This is akin to walking through the Congo without any assistance.

Avatar n tn Climbers and hikers can take two days to reach 8,000 feet, and then another day for each 1,000 to 2,000 higher feet. This may not be an option for people who travel to a destination at high altitude. Most people can adjust or "acclimatize" to the high altitude within a few days. Here are some tips: Avoid strenuous activity for the first day or two. Drink extra fluid. Be careful of drinking alcohol. Its effect is magnified at high altitude.

Avatar f tn Last night without warning it felt like I was being struck by lightning bolts over and over in my left thigh. It literally took me to the floor and blurred my vision from pain. When that finally calmed down I got intense pain in back of right thigh around leg into groin area and down back of leg. It hurts and burns plus is sensitive to touch or air movement. I have told my neurologist in the past and he just says its part of the joy of ms.
Avatar f tn I've been having it work weeks on and off. My best advice would be to sit down when it happens and relax. They go away for me after about an hour. But it's so painful. I had a spurt just now and I got into bed! My doc said it's normal.
11772779 tn?1421000617 Hey Ladies! I am 10w6d and for the past few days it feels as if someone is stabbing my boobs with a red hot poker and twisting my nipples! It actually woke me up out of a sound sleep the other day! (Sound sleep is very rare these days lol). My MS is also a million times worse...I thought it was supposed to be easing up! Anyone else feel like this or am I a freak?!
11772779 tn?1421000617 Hey ladies! I am 8w2d, and today I have these sharp pains that I can only describe as someone stabbing me in the hooha! I Googled it and the term that is used is "lightning crotch" and it is pretty much a round ligament pain. Has anyone else experienced this?!?
Avatar n tn I'm only 17 weeks and I already have lightning crotch and let me say its the worst thing besides the bleeding that I have experienced so far :(
Avatar n tn Today I experiencedd numerous flashes of light like arcs of lightning. It lasted for approximately 15 minutes and then gradually went away. No other symptoms. What could be the problem?
Avatar m tn The data on test timing for gonorrhea and chlamydia aren't all that precise. Gonorrhea for sure would be accurate at this time, but it could be a bit early for chlamydia, since it's a more slowing growing organism. Tomorrow (3 days) would be OK, though. Be diplomatic with your partner.

Avatar f tn How normal is it to feel like you have lightning bolts shooting in your vagina?
Avatar m tn Cataracts. Get your eyes checked and rule it out. Best of luck.

1932244 tn?1323292210 Pregnancy loss due to cervical incompetence is a risk for the next pregnancy. For this reason, you should be sure to consult with a high-risk pregnancy specialist or other experienced OB/GYN early in your next pregnancy and ideally before conception. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
