Avatar f tn Severe thunderstorms going on here in my Michigan and my belly and ankles are aching like crazy!! Is this normal?
Avatar m tn It is valid to be worried about lightning in some geographic locations -- have you ever watched the college baseball finals in Omaha? They have to clear the field if lightning is in the vicinity, even if it is quite a ways away, for a half hour. Something about Nebraska in the summer makes the lightning storms very unpredictable.

Avatar n tn When I was in college, I was within about 10 feet of lightning twice. Once my friend was driving a car and lightning struck in front of the car (she drove off the road freaked out). I guess by the time she would have gotten there, presumably the lightning would have been gone. Maybe not. She was going 45 mph. Lightning does indeed travel from the ground up sometimes (it can travel either way). I saw it go from the ground up twice.
4818131 tn?1373730422 Ugh not liking this and the weather channel says storms the rest of the weekend into next week. This is NOT suppose to happen in maryland. Anybody else getting hit by these storms as well?
881165 tn?1265984588 s the huge atmospheric pressure change or the large quantities of lightning, but something just puts me completely off balance. I know lots of us have trouble with heat, but I've never heard anyone, including doctors, talk about major storms. So whaddya think?
Avatar f tn Just think of it like this , your in the safety of your house and it cant get you :) So dont worry about it and take some deep breaths
Avatar f tn I have been having problems for many years with thunderstorm anxiety. Whenever I see lightning, or hear or even think I hear lightning I freak out and I am sick and tired of it. I was wondering what medication would be best for my anxiety. Since thunderstorms only last a couple hours I am looking for a short acting medication.
Avatar f tn I asked him what had happened, as I was still in a blind daze, and he said that lightning had hit the tree in our front yard, and this tree mind you is about 3 feet from our porch and 5 feet from my door. I asked why he fell to the ground, and he said he felt as if he was lifted by a gust of wind, and his feet were tingling. My car alarm, Hubby's car alarm, and just about everyone elses car alarm in the neighborhood was going off from the hit.

Avatar f tn I was just helping someone else about their 12-year-old daughter having trouble sleeping. It's important that you find out why she can't sleep by herself at night. Her coming to you in the middle of the night for sleep is a symptom to a core, root problem. Her wanting to sleep with you isn't the problem--there's a specific reason. If this problem can be identified, it will make things a lot easier as you can address it specifically.
230262 tn?1316645934 oh god!!! we have tornadoes heading for us right now, news keeps breaking in updating the severe storms. they are still about 30 miles from here but moving at 65 mph. Strong rotation, straight line winds of 80 to 100 mph they say oh my god. STorms are a huge triggger of mine and these storms should be here real soon....i want a vicodin so bad right now. i always loved to get high on vics when we had storms tornadoes. Ohhhh man this is gonna be a long night here!!!!!
Avatar f tn What can I give my shitzu to calm her down through the thunder storms. The vet gave me some tranquilzers that worked good but I ran out and they won't refill them until I bring her in. Unfortunetly the vet cost to much and I give her shots for Omaha Vaccine or the clinics.
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.
Avatar f tn I have been in tears about the children lost under the rubble at the elementary school in Moore, OK. I called my sister who lives in Inola and bawled with her over it. I hope everyone stays safe during this tornado season.
Avatar f tn We had severe storms today..I sweated, hyperventilated, I saw images of tornadoes spawning everywhere, of course no tornadoes...if I stood in front of a mirror while "panicked" would I cry seeing myself? Weather is only one of things that trigger my anxiety, all around me laugh..some family member think I'm "crazy" seriously..so happy I found this site today..I need ppl who get me..I need to know I'm not battling this alone...
Avatar f tn ve heard that rain puts negative ions in the air, and that is supposed to mellow people out. Have never really noticed this, though.
Avatar f tn The agency has met with the government in previous summers to discuss contingency plans for major storms, and pre-positioned relief items are available, she said. Isaac's path remains uncertain, but some computer models show the storm slicing its way up Florida's peninsula. Others send it farther west, into the Gulf of Mexico. Officials are taking the threat seriously. "Obviously, we hope Isaac doesn't hit Florida, but we must take every precaution," Scott said.
Avatar f tn ve seen too much damage done by the wind during my years growing up in South Dakota and/or living in Iowa - tornadoes/snow/ice storms/; years in Florida tornadoes/hurricanes.... Nope, don't want the wind to blow........
Avatar f tn The way I could tell is more pressure in my pelvic area felt like my belly was sitting in my lap and I could breathe alot better.
Avatar f tn 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 I know lightning is when the baby begins to drop...but can you FEEL this happening?! How do you know?!
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 f tn Does it feel like lightning? If so that's called "lightning crotch" totally normal it's baby hitting your cervix or a nerve..quite painful..
Avatar m tn No one has ever contracted HIV by getting semen in their eye. There is a theoretical risk associated with it, but in reality it doesn't happen.
