Other - Diseases - August 2006

I have tried midrin, imitrex,vicoden,zomig,maxalt,beta blockers,lexapro(antidepressant) and herbal therapy, for my migraines. Triptans work about 80% of the time, vicoden takes teh pain away for about 3 hours and the rest I get about a 20% success rate with. I have heard topamax usually works but with harsh side effects. I want to try it out because I can't take this migrain pain away. I want to see how bad I get the side effects so I can make my own decision. Is it hard to get a doctor to prescribe it? It is also marketed as a migraine med. I have done the research and know what to expect. I am getting excited thinking of releife and the possible weightloss. I hope I can deal with the memory & tinglies..... This would be a life changing event I have an appointment tomorrow to discuss this.

I have lupus SLE (in remission) I also have fibromyalgia. the palm of my hands keep changing colour sometimes they are from purple,white,pink,crimson or bright red.I,m not saying they keep flashing like neon signs but now and then when I look at them they could be one of these colours. could this be a symptom of lupus or , fibromyalgia or could this be another disease that is realated to lupus or fibromyalgia or something compleatly different all together do you have this or know somebody that may have this. it don't matter if its summer or winter so its not from the cold.

I was hospitalized in early July with what they said was kidney infection for 4 days. Ever since I got out of the hospital on July 6 I have felt fatigued, nauseated, and body aches like I want to jump out of my skin. My eyes especially ache. Have had blood workup, CT of abdomen and chest and MRI of lumbar spine. Been to hematologist, urologist, 2 ERs. Have appt with rheumatologist coming up. I have stopped working and applying for short term disability. I feel like I'm losing my mind. No one seems to know what it is. Anyone have similar symptoms or have any suggestions? thanks

My sons body vibrates. It is noticeable in his hands and head. Everything I search points to parkinson's. His grandfather and great grandfather have been diagnosed with parkinson's, but the doctors I've asked say that my son can't have it because he's too young. (My son is 10.) I don't think the disease cares how old a person is.

My brother in 26 years old and about 3 days ago he claims to have lost the ability to move the right side of his face. He seems ligit, when he smiles only the left side goes up, hes talking funny, having trouble spitting, and can't wink his right eyelid anymore.

He smokes like 2 packs a day, and has bad teeth. i don't know if either of them can casue this.

he still has feeling in that side of his face, he can feel touch.

Does anyone know what could cause this?
Is it serious or will it go away?
the only thing i can think of is stroke
thanks

...shooting down both arms when they urinate...but only when they have an active bladder infection? Doesn't happen at any other time. While I only get an infection every couple of years, the burning in the arms happens every time. When the typical burning from urinating goes away, so does the burning in the arms. Weird, huh?

If you can answer this one, you will definitely earn your 10 points.
