took my bp meds at 9:00 and pressure is still on the rise. is now 164/110. and, i feel dizzy, ears ringing, and blurry vision. i had a bad trip to the er and they made it go too low, and a whole set of other problems with that, to say the least.

now, i don't know what to do though. i take norvasc 5 mg and toprol 50 mg. 2 times a day. along with 1/2 a toprol in the middle of the day...still, bp will not stabilize!
to top it off, my husband is out of town now too...

I have had a swollen ankle for quite some time. Now, I'm having excruiating pain in it, and the only thing that kills the pain is ice. My Dr's assistant said that it might be neuropathy, but I'm not diabetic.

I'm 43 and was diagnosed with ADD about 6 weeks ago. My APRN put me on Adderal XR...the first few days I felt so much better but he wants me to take 1 when I get up and then more everytime I think it's wearing off. I can't really tell the difference...so when I saw him last time he told me to take one three times a day. The pharmacist was freaked..said he'd never filled a dose that high and that it wouldn't be good for my brain. I'm having trouble sleeping (nothing new) so now the APRN wants me to take a short-acting stimulant right before bed because the adderal makes me sleepy. I feel like my brain needs time to be off the stimulant and I don't want to fry my neurons. The medicine doesn't give me energy or make me "high". It does help though because before I took it I was ready to quit nursing school and since I've been on it I finished the semester with 3 "A's" and 1 "A-". Does anybody know anything about the patch that you can get? Any advice? I see my APRN tomorrow.

For my project, i have to find the disease name that is when a person doesn't have any feelings.

It was on House and it was on an old episode. An example of the disease is like if you are touching something hot, your brain didn't get that message and you are hurting yourself. You did not felt that pain.

PLEASE HELP

Can you tell me if you know the recovery time and hospitilization time for a gall bladder surgery? Would it be different for a child (teen) then adult? My daughters case isn't emergency but close so we have SOME leeway with scheduling but are concerned about her finals. I've researched and asked the GP but there's conflicting stuff everwhere?
Anybody "been there" and wanna share?
