I was diagnosed with IC about 3 months ago. my doctor has given me
elmiron and told me to stay on a strict IC diet. I am having trouble
because I have lost 12 pounds and continue losing. I dont know what
to eat anymore. i cannot find hardly any recipes (even IC specific
recipes) that stick to the diet. also my whole family has a milk
allergy so that makes it more difficult. I feel weak and tired all
the time. I'm told to avoid foods high in potassium, but what counts
as high in potassium? right now i'm really not getting any. what
about vitamin c, none of that either, ive heard ester c may be
tolerated ? also vitamin b, is it ok to have the individual b's and
not the complex?
I am so weak and tired all the time because of this diet. I hardly
eat anything. plus with taking the elmiron you have to wait 2 hours
after you eat to take it and then after you take it you have to wait 1
hour to eat, sot that pretty much leaves out snacking on anything,
also if you factor in that i am a stay at home mom with two very
active little ones (both under 3) there isnt much time to eat anyway.
I would appreciate any information you could give me. thank yo so
much for your time.

Recently, I have been having what seems like a movement disorder. I move my fingers and toes in patterns constantly, I grind my teeth in my sleep, I have a persistent cough, i have a "travelling" itch, my mood is almost never stable, and I have been having a lot of migraine headaches. The coughing has been so bad that it causes me to vomit sometimes. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? All my doctors say that it is not caused by medication. They are not sure what it is.

I hope you great people can help me...

I have an aquaintance... let's call him "Paul", and he has a HUGE head. I mean, people think "ok, it's like maybe a little bigger than normal-sized heads", but it's not. I think this thing has it's own gravitational pull going. It's freaking HUGE. Think of the biggest head you've ever seen, then think.... that it's like a molecule or something.

Anyhow, on the rare occasion that my wife and I get up North, we typically visit with "Paul", and his wife (who has a normal-sized head - see: opposites attract). The thing is, after a few beers go down, I want to slowy release crumpled napkins near his head to see if they orbit and stuff, but my wife (who also has a normal-sized head) says that doing that is insensitive, or some nonsense.

What would YOU do in such a case??

PLZ HELP!!1!!

I posted a question earlier in the week about augmetin. I am prescribed by my doctor, but oddly I have a horrible fear of reaction to medication (I panic) I know it sounds a little stupid but it is a scary thing for me. Anyways if I was to have and allergic reaction how long would I know before I started taking it. I have never taken this medication before so I a not sure if I will have a reaction. Also, the doctor is prescribing me 875mg...for sinus infection...however he didn't take a culture of anything how does he know it is a sinus infection without taking a culture? Can he literally just look up my nose and tell?

I have this medication that I got from a iffy source, and I'm wondering if there is a lab, a pharmacist, or a special pharmacy where I can take these pills and they can some how tell if the pill is legit or not actually the real thing. I'm willing to pay for this service no matter how much it costs. I know I have seen them do it on TV, but I'm wondering what way a consumer can check the purity of the medication?

I already know about rotting teeth, anorexia, loss of interest and pronounced mobility. What I am looking for are other more subtle symptoms. Particularly teeth grinding. I suspect that the mouth dragging to one side might be a symptom associated with "coming down". What about sweating on the forehead?

I have an headache and neck ache for about a week now.. and I always feel sleepy/drowsy but Im not sleepy.. like you have that sensation of being sleepy but you cant sleep when you actually lay in bed. Well, My sleeping time has increased since the first time I felt the headache and drowsiness a week ago.

I had this a few months ago, i got checked out (CT SCAN) and found nothing in my head. A week later after that test, I have gotten fine so I canceled an appointment with a neurologist.

I just want to know if anybody else has the same experience that Im having. Headache and sleepiness. This is the 2nd time I have gottent this thing and Im not sure if I should go to the doctor again tomorrow.

I can not go into Wal-Mart stores without feeling weak, dizzy and sick to my stomach. Years ago Sears had an outlet store in my town and I would get the same way. Now my boss has purchased a new building and I was there today and had the same feeling. I think its related to the lighting, is this possible? And if so what can I do?

My 9 month old baby has some sort of diarrhea and it's been going on for 3 days. She doesn't want to drink what the doctor prescribed to her - the pedialyte - and she wants to drink milk instead which makes her diarrhea worse. I don't know what to do anymore.

My doctor just did a blood test and called me to say I might be hypoglycemic. How would they treat this? I don't want to take any medications.
I'm in my 20s, have low cholesterol and blood pressure, am not overweight, am not diabetic, and eat a very healthy diet. The only prescription pills I take are oral contraceptives, and I rarely take over the counter meds. I really don't want to have to take something else. How can I control this without meds?
