I frequently get headaches & migraines (since 8 years old). I have brain scans continuously, no causes have been found. I was on amitrpytoline but it didn't work so I was taken off. I occassionally used to take Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Tylenol, etc. except now, when I take them (I try not to as much as I can) for the past year or two they haven't worked. They provide no relief at all! I was prescribed Tylenol with Codeine for my headahces but they also don't work.

I am not exaggerating, I wouldn't be asking why they don't work.

They provide absolutely no relief. I would appreciate so much if someone could explain to me why ?!

Also, I am a 15 year old female. I have been sick for about 2 years with an undiagnosed illness. Rheum &symptoms/tests show Lupus, but I am not getting into that! I just want to know why pain relievers aren't working with head, bone, inflamation. Also, I take 15 g Meloxicam for 1 month now; still not working, is there a relationship too?

I mean would a placebo do the trick for some people? I personally find that painkillers , no matter how strong , do not alleviate pain.

I am on my last couple days of the placebo birth control pills, and I forgot to call in my refill. I usually start the active pill on Sunday, but since the refill wont be ready, I have to start it Monday. Will missing a day of the active pill after the placebo pill mess up the effects?

I did a search on here before posting, and all the other topics deal with work, marriage...grown up ways to deal with stress.

Can anyone suggest some ideas for children under stress, like while at school?

I'm not overweight myself, but there are obese people in my family and I see nothing wrong with them. I could see if you were morbidly obese, then yes you should should lose weight. However those people that are, why is it any of your concern? There are tons of question on here with people bashing fat people and parents with fat kids, but why is it your business. How does it effect you if they lose weight or not?

i know everyone will think the way my head was injured is funny. but anyway, i am 31 now and when i was around 10 give or take, i fell down and a neighbors son was riding a bicycle and ran over my head. it cut it open pretty bad. i had to go have stitches and everything. it was the right side of my head about 4 inches up and to the left of my right ear. i never had problems with my head really bothering me until the last week or so. i will be feeling fine and i will start having such sharp excrushiating pain where it had been cut open when i was little. it will last for several hours. it honestly feels like someone stabbing me in my brain. i have tried over the counter pain medication but nothing helps. i don't have insurance so can't have anything done right now. could this be connected to the accident i had when i was 10?

I am taking birth control and I skip taking the iron pills because I don't seem to have the symptoms of anemia and I was thinking of throwing them out, but then I thought that my boyfriend who suffers from anemia could use them instead of them going to waste - is this legitimate?

I've tried antidepressants in the past for anxiety disorders, but noticed I felt very vulnerable while I was on them.
I felt like I was begging people to like me, and I felt they didn't. I had no self confidence.

Then I quit taking them, and I now do feel confident, and I can care less if people like me or hate me. I think I'm fun to be around though, and if you don't like me, your missing out.

Was it the drugs(antidepressants) that make people feel vulnerable, or what?

I get really severe allergy attacks. My worst complaint is my nose is constantly running that I'm blowing my nose ever few seconds and it's never enough. I'm tired of always having a raw nose. I have taken prescription meds before. I'm immune to 99% of them due to overuse over the past 29 years. What are good alternative remedies that I can use to stop or prevent my allergy attacks?
