Avatar n tn In June '08 I was sitting watching TV when my left side from my head down to my leg became stiff and numb. Went to the ER and checked by 5 neuronogists, had scans, MRI & other tests. Their consensus was a brain event in the rt. thalemus. For 2 & 1/2 yrs I was living with a 5 out of 10 sensation but last Dec. '10 as I was having dinner, the sensation became worse like an 8 out of 10 and I'm having increased trouble moving my whole left side.
Avatar f tn To lower the sodium from this source, I drain and rinse the veggies. Waiting on my blood tests for hormone levels, vitamin levels and other stuff. I also do not drink diet sodas, or use artificial sweeteners. My doctor, Friday, said that she thinks it might be neuropathy, due to the fact that I have some spots on the bottom of my left foot that I don't feel heat or pain. She also said that this would explain the red splotches on top of my feet. My question is this: Can she be wrong?
Avatar n tn Could you be thinking of Topamax, which can have the side effect of weight loss when used for other indications, so is sometimes used for that purpose?
Avatar m tn This may cause blood pressure to fall excessively and heart rate to increase, especially when you rise from a sitting or lying position.

Avatar n tn All she cares about is sex. The other day my boyfriends 15 year old sister stopped by and my mom gets on the computer looking at very graphic sexual pictures. She made no attempt to hide it either and now his sister is scared to come over anymore. Also a few days before, his other little sister was here watching a movie with me and my mom had a guy come over and went upstairs and was having really loud sex and she knew I had company. she didnt even bother to shut her door.

Okay, shared for whatever value on this forum... but another, I decided to cut back to 1 gram a day to see what happens to my weight. I gradually gained back about 5 pounds, suggesting Ginseng does in fact help me control weight, I love carbohydrates. But, I also notices a worse feeling of fatigue...

Avatar n tn Have you heard of alternate uses for Armidex? I have endometriosis stage 4, I had 2 surgeries in 2006, and my surgeon is putting me on Armidex to try to control the pain. Is this a common use for this medicine?
Avatar f tn I have been reading that they help with people who suffer from hypo. I was wondering if anyone uses one and what are your opinions of the treatment.
Avatar f tn no one wanted to foster the male i had so i had to give him a new home. the female on the other hand my friend is fostering her for me. but its a 30 minute drive and its just to far for me. every since they left i am having really bad depression, anxiety, and been just feeling at my all time low. i cannot even go outside because i start to cry and shake and feel like I'm going to pass out. i don't feel calm without them around.
612551 tn?1450022175 You can picture this as one-dimensional ultrasound where the images are continuously placed after each other, sort of like a flip book. Afterwards, the heart as a whole is examined in 2-d from different angles, and finally your valve function and blood streams are examined with doppler. The cardiologist will also possibly examine your aorta and carotid arteries to rule out plaque buildups or dilations.
Avatar f tn both of you have low positives and will need to confirm them with further testing to see if they are false positives or not. We recommend getting a herpes WB blood test for you both. If your provider uses quest labs, it's test #34534. It's a send out from all quest labs so if your local lab seems stumped, let them know that it gets sent to the U of washington.
Avatar m tn I have been prescribed 10mg of lisinopril, 5mg of felodipine daily and then a few visits to a very enthusiastic GP he has put me on 2x 95mg metoprolol succinate daily because I had a high heart rate in all my readings. My BP and heart rate now seems to be okay when I get it checked but this seems like a very high dose of metoprolol and I'm getting worried it's going to cause me some damage in the long term.
Avatar m tn ve been on the meds for almost 8 yrs of which 3 yrs of that serving as a Drill Sgt. I can also deploy to Iraq or Afghanistan using Felodipine and was curious as to what harm would 61 days of Ranger School do.

237053 tn?1258828426 I was told on another forum that I should be tested for some other infections/viruses such as enteroviruses, Herpes viruses (including HHV-6, EBV, CMV, HHV-7) and Chlamydia pneumonia (Cpn). I guess some of these can act like lyme symptom wise and also some go hand in hand with lyme. I don't believe I've been tested for any of these except for the EBV which was Positive. My LLMD didn't mention any of these other things, but I'm wondering if I should have the labs done?
Avatar n tn My orthopedic surgeon uses one of the Stryker acetabular components that were recalled this year. There have been numerous issues with Stryker, all factual info readily found by internet searches, including three FDA warning letters (search FDA.gov), the latest one in May 2008: http://www.fda.gov/foi/warning_letters/s6760c.htm I've done my best to become informed on hip replacements, e.g.
Avatar n tn As for your aunt, for starters, despite the fact that she uses injection drugs, statistically the chances are that she is not infected with HIV. Even if, as a worst case scenario, she does have HIV, acquisition of HIV through oral exposures, including oral sex is virtually non-existent and there are NO instances in which HIV has been transmitted on an inanimate object such as a toothbrush. The virus is just not very tough and does not live long in the environment.
Avatar f tn I have a pretty scare on the front of my neck. I have found a good dermatoligist that uses a procedure that works real good with a silacone gel as well. Kelo-cote, the newer the scare the better the results.
