I used to get bad migraines, where there would be an aura visible whether or not my eyes were open. The aura would start of like a small speck of light in the middle of my vision, almost what it looks like when you look at a small very bright light and then look away and blink, but more extreme. This aura would grow in diameter and then hollow out in the middle, like a bagel, and cover about 3/4 of my eyesight. I could still see through it but it would be painful to try to. An intense headache came along with it and I would feel very nauseaus.

I first got this in grade school, I can't remember if it was 3rd-5th grade, but I remember it happening on the playground and I was very scared (I didn't tell anyone though, and it went away in a few hours). I would get them periodically, once or twice a year, but now I am 21 and haven't had one in 4-5 years. The only thing I have changed is to drink much more water throughout the day, everyday.

Anyone know why they went away?

Yesterday I went to the bathroom and noticed there was blood in my stool and also coming out of me not gushing but it was more than I have ever seen before. Today once again when I went to the bathroom it was there. There is blood on the toilet paper, in the toilet, and in the stool. Should I just schedule an appt. or go in now.

Occasionally the pressure in my right ear changes so that I am able to hear my own breath much more distinctly (as if I covered both ears and breathed in and out). This happens sporadically and eventually goes away. Any idea what this is and if it is an ear drum perforation or ear infection?

I know of several cases in my community and personally spoke with the CDC in Atlanta and was able to stop DCS (Department of Childrens Services) from forcing more shots onto an infant in 2001.

I would like to see this child included in the lawsuit because the ALL KNOWING authorities were trying to kill the child. Not through ignorance, but through apathy. The CDC admitted that the child had a classic focal seizure reaction, but since the Pediatrican failed to note the reaction in the childs records the laws said that he would receive his second shot.

The second shot usually brings on more severe seizures and or death. If the child survives all 3 after going through seizures they become autistic. The CDC admitted all this but claimed their hands were tied since the Pediatrican did not document an allergic reaction.

Eventually the CDC agreed to step outside protocol and notify the Doctor that the child was not to receive another immunization.

The doctors have finally diagnosed me with this. My left pec and sometimes left arm twitch. Also pain and numbness in those areas. I had kind of like awake seizures a couple months ago. Could this have been the same thing? A nerve being pinched. Believe me I'lve been to every doctor under the sun so no lectures on "see a doctor" etc.... Been there,done that. Less money now.

First off, I do have a doctors appointment scheduled, just wondering if anyone else has had this issue...
My 5 year old daughter, for the last 2 weeks has been overly thirsty. I give her tons of water, gatorade, fruit juice, and she is thirsty 10 miutes later. I give her no soda or caffeine since this has started. She has been playing outside alot, but it just seems excessive. Does anyone know what this could be. She shows no signs of dehydration either.

She has undergone several investigations some of which are the brain CT scan, the EEG, Hb tests and blood pressure monitoring. Her brain tests have not shown anything abnormal while her Hb level drops every time she stops taking blood boosters. Her blood pressure is normal but rises when she is experiencing the body pains. She is overweight and has put herself on an exercise regime that is working for her as she is gradually losing weight. She has calcifications on her skull along the suture lines and suffers constant headaches. She is studying at the University and has work pressure to some extent. What could be causing this ailment?

I've tried lots of medication for it I'm either allergic to them, or I develop an amunity. Right now I'm taking about 3-4 nexium a DAY and here i sit with the pain.
My ears hurt, my back gets tense and soar, Chest pain, and MASSIVE heartburn. Almost every day. (a week of this, then a week of mild comfort off and on)
My doctor says I SHOULD NOT have corrective surgery.. that I should wait. But I've been dealing with this for 7 years now.

I've tried so many "tricks". elevated my bed so I'm slightly sitting up. Avoiding soda's, spicy foods... I had a carrot today, and It gave me intense heartburn.
It hurts SO bad.
If you have had the same thing, can you tell me what works for you? Or If you had the surgery, was it worth it? Should I get a 2nd opinion about the surgery?

I was diagnosed with Bells Palsy after I had my daughter. I didnt have any drugs during my delivery and she was almost 9 lbs. Could it have been caused by the strain in my facial muscles from pushing so hard? What about stress from sleep deprevation and keeping up with a 4 yr old as well. I'm on a cuople different medications that are for viruses. I have had mouth sores since as far back as I can remember-could the whole thing with my delivery and stress have affected the herpes virus? Anyone know of some home remedies? I have been taking b12 vitamins, my prenatal, womens daily vitamins. My mother who had it many years ago in Mexico has a remedy of carrot juice with yerba buena plant that she swears works but who knows. Unfortunatly, there isnt a whole lot of research on this condition.

I have been diagnosed with Fibromalgia. From my understanding there is no test to know for sure if I have this???
Does anyone now much about it. For the last 2 weeks I've been exhausted (not sleepy), I've had headaches, and my muscles are achy. My doctor says I've had a flare up from the Fibromalgia. Blood work is fine. Does this sound right???

I have been very nervious lately and after a long game of poker my face is feels numb. It's not swallen at all and as a kid I've had problems with nerves and that happened for a week and went away, i would always shake my head weirdly and with age that was gone. This happened to me like 2 years ago and then was gone after a week. I am pretty nervious.
Thanks :)
