I have suffered from Arthritis since I was 20. I have been controlling this condition up until about 3 mths ago when I experienced another flare up. Following three cortisone injections my specialist has put me back on Methotrexate. Is anybody else on it? I seem to be experienceing all the side effects going.

Please don't answer this if you are going to give a stupid answer.

I have a marked lordosis of my spine which has been getting worse. Today i was told that the spine is twisting to the left as well. My core stability muscles have wasted. This is not good and I wonder if anyone has come across this before? What is the prognosis?

can i be allergic to something that i've been eating,using or dealing with for the past 10 years or so??...'cause yesterday, i suddenly have these 'redness' and 'itchyness' at both my wrist...about 5 minutes later...it already spread to other parts of my body such as near my under arms...above my thigh and my elbows...when i went to the pharmacy...they say maybe i'm allergic to something...she asked me what i ate before...i told her everything i ate were stuffs that i've been eating for the past few years...than my mom asked whether it's because of my cat's skin problem...she said it could be...but my cat's problem started about a couple of months ago and it's about 95% cured already...
the pharmacist gave me some allergies pills...and i took one last night...i woke up this morning...the redness and itchyness yesterday was gone but new ones appeared!!i took another pill and about half an hour...it was gone...so..i'm i allergic to something?

I had an injection of cortison in my neck to relieve pain from a migrane and burning in the neck and now it is swollen and hurts worse than when i went to the doctor. I have had this done before and I have NEVER had it hurt this bad or this long.....I don't want to accuse my doctor, but I think that she has done something wrong and I am not sure what to do besides see her again..And I don't feel that I should have to pay her again if it is related to the injection that she gave me....What do I do ?

For those of you with Tourette's Syndrome or for those who have loved ones with it......does light flicker (computer, tv, movies) make the tics worse? I am asking for my son. His tics seem to flare up more when he plays games on the computer.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I read this on a website (answers.com) tonight and I thought it rang true for me. Do you think this is the case for you?
"Certain stressful processes during gestation (pregnancy) or at the time of birth may increase the chance for a person to develop TS. Other non-genetic factors that may predispose a person to TS include: severe psychological trauma, recurrent daily stresses, extreme emotional excitement...."

I was thinking the especially the severe psychological trauma part. My parents divorced when I was 3 and their relationship was violent. Then I lived with daily stress caused by a stepfather who was too harsh. I am always trying to get to the bottom of the root cause. I have always thought my case of TS was "brought out" because of stress.

I am not asking for personal stories unless you want to share one. I just want to know if you have Tourette's do you think this could be the cause of your case? I hope this question is not too personal.

I have to wait 2 more months to see a neurologist. I am concerned, because I am starting to have "episodes" again where I cannot walk or move my left arm. My doctor won't do anything, he says I need to be treated and diagnosed by a specialist. He told me whathe thought I had...but I want to see what others have experience or knowledge.

Paralyzation also includes confusion.

i'm currently undergoing the symptoms of mono....about 3 weeks ago i came home from work with what i thought at the time to be the flu. when i got home, i was EXTREMELY hot and couldn't get cool. i ended up having a 103 temp, body aches, and a sore throat. a day later my tonsils had pus on them and it hurt really bad to swallow even my own spit. i thought i kicked whatever i had and was well again, but now i got sick once more. i went to the doctor and found out i had mono. i've read that it lasts only for a few weeks, and i may be almost over this disease, but i know that i must have passed this on to many other people, including my girlfriend. i know once you have this virus, it stays in your body, but how long will it take for everything to return to normal? could i get mono again later in life? or am i now immune to it?

Hi. I've been having lightheadedness for about 4 months now. I had it for about a month, then it mostly went away for a month or two, and now it's back again.

Basically the only symptom I have is that I feel lightheaded and somewhat detached from my surroundings. I feel especially lightheaded and detached when I move my head around (especially if I had bent over for a long time) and it's only really present when I stand up. I also think I am more fatigued / get tired sooner than I used to be.

I went to the doctors about 3 months ago but he wasn't concerned about it. I have a blood test to do at some point but so far I haven't had the time.

In the last few days, I've been feeling headachy. I'm not sure if this is a symptom of my problem, or if it's just because I've been stressing about about this a fair bit.
I have also felt pressure in my ears recently, not much but enough to be annoying. My ears have been popping (not to extreme, but noticeably so) as well.

Any ideas?
