epipen

388261 tn?1215399844 Tramadol....exactly what is it? I know it is a synthetic agent of codeine, but it is not considered a controlled agent. My Doc and I are discussing my detox in 2 weeks, and he is giving me the 10 day supply of Xanax and Valium, but he also wants me to take Tramadol for the pain. If this is an addictive drug, I will refuse to take it. But is it? All I keep seeing on the net is that it's a analgesic. But I have also read that Tramadol is approximately 10% as potent as morphine.
Avatar f tn So, the next time I had work done, I told my dentist about the SVT and what had happened and he suggested next time, to use a numbing medication that would not stimulate my heart and he did. I was just fine the next go around.
787406 tn?1339203183 My Endocrinologist ran another Plasma Norepinephrine test and my level was 1129. Previously it had been 1042. Can stress cause this? My Endo is saying that stress is responsible for it being extremely high. My cortisol level was normal at 6.
Avatar f tn Epinephrine is the a hormone and neurotransmiter. It is produced by the adrenal gland an is a "fight-or-flight catecholamine." So is norepinephrine. In biochemistry, the prefix "nor" means that norepinephrine is an analog of epinephrine. They function quite differently in the body. epinephrine is most commonly thought of in terms of t effect on the sympathetic nervous system - increasing heart rate, increasing blood pressure, hyper alertness, etc.
1817071 tn?1366228243 I remind them each and every time and so far have had no problems. It is a small thing and they can do it. You are the one who pays, you are the one who lives with the consequences, you deserve to be heard. If they can't manage it, find someone who can. I'm sure there are plenty of dentists out there who would be happy to work with you on this. Good luck. Hang in there and let us know how you're doing.
1666434 tn?1325262350 --- well said FurballsMom, our bodies really do tell us what we need and when we need it. Our bodies also tell us what we need to stay away from and maybe that's because either we have an intolerance to it or we already have enough of that particular supplement.
Avatar f tn Yes its ok, they will most likely need to do xrays, for that they will cover your chest and belly with a blanket, i cant remember what its called but it will protect your baby, good luck girl =)
Avatar f tn This does not sound STD related and if it is it didn't come from your boyfriend. So if you have never had sex before then it can't be a STD and overall like I said this does not sound STD related. You would have to see a Dr for proper diagnosis. If you do see a Dr come back and update us on the diagnosis.
Avatar n tn I have severe air hunger. It has nothing to do with "hunger" or a feeling of needing to take something, or ingest something. It is the sensation that you simply cannot get enough air. Every breath falls short of feeling like a complete breath. It can sometimes feel like your diaphram isn't working and you can't get it to do it's job well enough to take a complete breath. For me it is a constant feeling like I'm going to pass out because I just can't get enough air.
535882 tn?1396576685 what does synthriod do? other than regulate your energy. what other functions does it help control in the body. or feelings, in the body. want to know, starting on it soon after total tyroid removal. 6 days after now. thanks for all info.
Avatar m tn Do you also feel like your mind is disconected from your body that your just kinda "spectating" and your body's on autopilot?
Avatar n tn What does your Dr. think you should do? I'm sure he or she will be glad to advise you when he goes over the report with you. It isn't wise to try to interpret these results yourself.
Avatar m tn My 6 year old son claps his hands when over stimulated. He is doing wonderfully in his academics and is pretty social. He was the only kindergartener last year that was in our school's musical. His teacher thinks he is autistic or has Asperger's. I have talked with both his ped. and neuro. and they think that it is a motor tic disorder but his teacher is not satisfied with that. She demands we have him tested and find out "what is really going on with him".
Avatar m tn those are genital warts from wat you are describing to me do not FREAK OUT the doc can use acid it does not hurt jus makes you hot and they will go away and usually stay gone forever
Avatar m tn It does not hurt when i wake up, but seems to hurt later in the day and at night all the time. It is not aweful pain, but enough to bug me. does anyone know what this could be?
Avatar f tn But yesterday before I went to bed I did my daily self check and saw a little red spot is what id call it but its still there today I can't really tell if its a sore it does not hurt or itch. Im just concerned.
1047019 tn?1256719961 You probably heard or read that piece of info from somewhere else yourself, and your brain most likely thought that made perfect sense.... and it does. The problem with that statement however, is that it omits an important factor from the actual equation. Biological Epinephrine is obviously not removed from a live human being during some rush of Adrenalin moment they were having, so that the medical community can store it, then use it on someone else later that needs it. No.
Avatar f tn Hi there...welcome to the forum. I'm sorry you are going through a rough time. If I can ask you....do you actually faint? As in lose consciousness? If so....that may be an indication of another problem besides anxiety. While anxiety certainly makes a lot of people very dizzy, lightheaded, with the FEELING as though they are going to faint....my psychiatrst had informed me that actual real loss of consciousness is RARE from anxiety alone.
Avatar f tn Heya, about 7 months ago now I was gardening and was bitten by a strange insect. I then developed a circular rash on my face. This rash is on my cheek underneath both eyes with one bordering my nose and the others are on my forehead. None of them are itchy or scaly. I went to the doctor who said it was ringworm so I was given Daktacort, I used this for 3 weeks to no avail and then was put on itraconazole.
Avatar n tn when i sit down it feels like i am sitting on mt bone i no i aint though so what is it i had for about a week then it went then it come back and i had it for 4days and it went now i have it again for 5 days what is it ???????????????????
Avatar f tn Well, the only good way to test for herpes is to take a swab from an active outbreak. There is a blood test, but it isn't as specific or as accurate as an active swab. Does your boyfriend know for SURE that the STD panel they did recently included a herpes test? They often don't, unless you specifically ask. Therefore, he could have been clean from the things they did test for (like chlamydia and syphilis), but they might not have tested for herpes.
Avatar m tn Since you have not had sex for almost a year, this does not seem to be std related. The only thing you can do is see a doctor and get tested for peace of mind.
1500828 tn?1289854870 Had you been ill prior to it? What kind of doctor did you see and did they do any tests at all? How often do you get it and how long does it last? Does anything bring it on or is there anything that relieves it? Maybe if you haven't tried one yet, you should see an ENT specialist. Sometimes we have to keep searching when something is wrong. Just because a doctor didn't find what's wrong doesn't mean there isn't something going on.
Avatar f tn I've been inserting my fingers for the past few days and I happen to feel like a big lump deep inside my vagina and I don't know what it is, I'm pretty sure it's not my cervix because I can insert a bit of my finger on the side, can't reach it though. I haven't had sex, just some foreplay and rubbing genitals. It just scares me because I probably haven't felt that bump back then??
792527 tn?1237502283 I have tried squeezing some of them before and it kind of looks like a blackhead. And if this is the case i have tried many acne cleansers over the course of five years, which none of them have worked. It was always a question in my mind if it has something to do with my body maturing fast. Im 20 yrs old now and i should be done growing, but as a kid i was always more developed then other girls in almost every way.
