How to get a full nights sleep

2007-10-05 06:28:19 · 6 answers · asked by khurley99 1 in Alternative Medicine

Every single day for about a month in a half now i have broken out in pretty severe hives all over my legs. they last for approx. an hour, sometimes more, sometimes less and occur at different times of the day.
i have never been allergic to anything in the past and i have no idea what is causing this.
i have tried everything to find out what this could be from and no one knows. but my question is, are there any lotions or creams that i could apply daily that will make the hives go away quickly and stop itching?
i have poison ivy anti-itch lotion, but that only helps to stop the itching.
but i need something to get rid of the ugly hives and redness faster. any suggestions?

i was diagnosed with osgood-schlatter's in my left knee when i was 13, stemming from gymnastics. they said it would go away in a few years or when i hit puberty, but now i'm 22 and it still hasnt' gone away. i stopped doing competitive gymnastics long ago, but the problem keeps getting worse.

this is not a mild case; you can see the bump in my knee from a few feet away it's so big. and it hurts all the time. i have a desk job and if i don't stretch my legs out every hour or so i'm in excrutiating pain. also, i had to stop running because that hurt it as well. i'm a very active person, so not being able to exercise like this is really bothering me.

i went to my family doctor, but he said there was nothing that could be done about it and i was pretty much stuck with it. he said i should switch to swimming if i want to stay in shape, but i don't have access to a pool.

does anyone else have the same problem? does it ever go away? can you get surgery? what helps with the pain?

I just started taking Lyrica to treat my Fibro. I've taken only 3 75mg doses so far (150 twice a day) and I feel kinda weird. A little dizzy and just kinda out of it. I know this sounds strange but hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about! What I would like to know is: is this normal? will it go away eventually? and have you had good results with Lyrica?
Thank you in advance!

I really want to help my Dad lower his blood pressure. I know that he needs to avoid excess salt or anything that contains high salt content but he's a single Dad now and he and my brother live alone and since he doesn't ever have time to cook, he makes unhealthy food choices that are quick to prepare (mostly heat and eat stuff). These are usually really high sodium too which isn't helping his condition so I want to help them out by preparing some healthy meals for them. Especially for helping my Dad get his blood pressure to a safe range. Can anyone please give me some recipes or a link that contains recipes that are healthy for someone who has high blood pressure? I really wanna help him / them.

It was weird...I went into the bathroom and I was bleeding, not a lot but a litle and I know I'm not on my period, and I don't know if it's because he went in too deep or my cherry wasn't fully popped.

I have SEVERE muscle spasms in almost every muscle in my body. I cannot wear shirts with collars because the muscles are so tight in my shoulders and neck, any pressure on them make me dizzy. I have tried a chriopractor, but after each visit, the dizziness and pain was unbearable, same thing with physical therapy. I get so dizzy after they work on my muscles, I can't even walk around without holding on to the wall. I dont know what is causing this, or where to go. Does anyone know the technical term for the doc that handles muscles? Thanks

My pain Dr put me on tegretol xr to start in a few days and I am reading all the warnings and freaking out.... if I decide not to take it do you think he'd find out by the random drug testing I get done at his office? I am on narcotics as well and get tested every so often. Does he just check for the narcotics or will he check the urine for the Tegretol as well?

is it an important factor that contributes in having a body odor and having sweat on your underarm?? if you eliminate your underarm hair would it lessen the possibility of having a body odor and sweat on your underarm??

I have been on the Depo shot for a little over a year and am not getting my next dose (due this month). I haven't had a regular period since I started taking the shot and rarely do I even have spotting but for the last 3 weeks I've been pretty consistantly spotting and my husband is wondering if there is a problem. I tend to think it's just my body reacting to the decreased hormones from not getting the shot, but now after 3 weeks of this, I'm starting to wonder if I should consult my Dr.

Has anyone else experienced this or know if this is indeed normal?

I have been rather ... testy... lately too which leads me to think it is related to a hormonal shift, but I'd hate to dismiss something important. Any advice would be appreciated.

I had a serious wreck 10yrs ago and fractured my hip in several places and had to have major surgery. The doctor told me that I would be more suceptable to arthritis. I am now 32 and have been having for the last few yrs or so pain in my arms and legs but only at night when I am trying to sleep. Could this be the onset of arthritis? What are the signs? Thanks!

I have used the brand Prozac or fluoxetin green and white capsules recently in Europe I was prescribed Fluoxetin-ratiopharm 20 mg tablets which are round I have never seen prozac or fluoxetin as round tablets only capsules are these okay? I also found this on the internet is this true? Please if there are any proffesional pharmacist outthere please answer.
Here is the article that I found on the net....

Generic vs. name brand Prozac

Posted By: Cheryl S.
Date: Thursday, 14 October 2004, at 1:15 p.m.

For those who are wondering...

I asked my OB/GYN (an M.D., not a pharmacist) about differences in effectiveness when the generic for Prozac had been out for a while. I, like many others, was curious since the price was significantly lower. He told me that under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should I ever take the generic, as he had patients that ended up attempting suicide (one succeeded) after switching from the name brand. The generic just did not work. He told me that if the pharmacist ever tried to give me generic, to state loudly (so the whole store could hear) that "my doctor told me the generic can kill you." He was ADAMANT about the differences between the drugs. I have taken the name brand Prozac for 9 years (it has worked wonderfully) and I will not risk the possible repercussions that generic might bring. No amount of money is worth taking that risk. Hope this sheds some light on the subject.

I don't really see this working, but if in theory its possible I'd like to try it. I have extremely high viral load, it would remove some of the *antibodies* but that wouldn't help

I was at the dentist today and the doctor said that I had a lot of teeth staining etc,... and that it was probably from certain foods I've been eating.

So, what are the foods that cause teeth staining?
