Other - Diseases - September 2007

I've noticed that for the past 2 days my equilibrium seems off. I feel like I can't walk straight and I can feel myself leaning more towards the right. I also noticed that I sort of get my feet crossed lately when I'm walking too. I'm on Zoloft - is this a side effect? I was also bitten by a mosquito - is this a West Nile symptom? Any guidance would be appreciated. I am going to see my doctor on the 17th of September and I'm wondering if these symptoms could be put off until then or is this something more serious. I'm 30 years old, female, normal height/weight, no major surgeries or health issues. Thanks.

I think that as long as you pass the test to get the job, you should not have to take a random drug test unless you get hurt on the job or something. Who are they to tell me I can't enjoy a joint on my day off, its my time, they should not be able to tell me I can't.

Here is another why they should be illegal. Lets say you are totally clean and don't do drugs, then you are issued a random test that you have to take that day, but wait, you just remembered you had 4 popiseed bagles on your brake, now you are going to fail because it will show up positive for the test, now you lose your job, over something that you ate, thats f u c k e d up.

The symptoms are for a woman 36 years old, healthy, a smoker, slightly overweight, wears reading glasses..
1-Headache for 4 days,flactuating in strength, decreases at night time, moves from one region of the head to the other(no imbalance, no blurry vision)
2-Inflamation (appearance of a small mass) in the front of the neck, under the jawline, on the left, whioch accompoanied the headache on the1st day.It dissapeared next day.
2-Inflamation (another small mass) at the back of the head which appeared on the 3rd day of the headache and is still there(2days now)
Any loud voice or rapid movement (especialy movement of the head) causes the headache to increase dramaticaly.
Blood plreasure was measured, turned out to be normal (110/80) . Asperin and similar drugs( Panadol, proffin and Augementin) did not help.

What could be the reason of such symptoms? What speciality?(glands? ear nose and throat? optician? or what?) Is there a site online which can help me diagnose the case?

What else could it possibly be? I took an upper GI tract test of some sort before I was diagnosed, and I really cant believe that the test was not accurate... I recently did a C UREA breath test, and Ill have the results to that test in about a week now. Im just wondering what I can expect. Ive spent the past few hours trying to find answers online, but I find nothing else.

I'm 39 and have never had a seizure before, but my head felt strange before I went to bed. (kind of like a hangover after a severe headache) My husband said I started having severe jerking type motions and my eyes were half open and I was totally unresponsive. (I have no recollection of this at all) It lasted maybe about a minute or so then it stopped. Today My whole body hurts like I have been in a car wreck and my eyes feel like they are sinking into my head. I'm so tired I can barely stand to be on the computer typing this.
What can cause this and should I expect this to happen again?
Is it normal to feel this way after a seizure?
I must admit I'm very nervous about this....

I did have meningitis 6 months ago. (really thought I was going to die before I got over that) Not sure if that could be related or not....???

My mother is on Seroquel & Zanex. She has extreme insomnia. She has been taking this combo for 5 + yrs now. She wants to stop taking all meds but can't seem to find a solution to the sleep problem. At her last appointment the doctor wanted to take her off the zanex & increase her seroquel. The seroquel is the one that worries me. I've been hearing a lot of bad things about it. When my mom brought up the risks of the seroquel to the doctor she said "that's all a bunch of hoey to scare people". I have researched & there seems to be a HUGE risk associated with this drug and diabetes. Should a doctor be dismissing health risks like this? Why would she?

My son (24) had emergency surgery this morning to remove his appendix & they also had to do a bowel re-section due to the Crohn's Disease that he has had for 10 years. He will be in the hospital for 5-6 days and then sent home to recuperate. I will have to fly from Chicago to NY to take care of him. Does anyone have any idea how long it will be before he can go back to work?

I had surgery last Monday and i've been on 2 different pain killers since. I've also been taking stool softener daily. i've been eating normally and drinking tons of water. i havent had a bowel movement for over 10 days now!

On Sunday night i started vomiting and had terrible abdoman pain. I decided to go to the ER where they gave me two enimas and tried doing a manual extraction for impaction. None of these worked. They also did an Xray which showed no obstruction.

Since then i've been using suppositories, oral laxitives, stool softeners, and eating a high fiber diet. Also, today after i tried another suppository... there was some red blood. I don't want to damage my intestines anymore! Nothing is working and i'm so uncomfortable!! i've stopped taking all the pain medicine but now my hand that i had the surgery on hurts terrible!! What else can i do?? Please help me feel better. Im starting to get worried...HELP!!!!

antipsychotics or anti-anxiety drugs?

I heard that large amounts of dopamine is found on stutterers, and one advice is to take antipsychotics to lower them down.

however, I believe that so much anxiety causes one to stutter.. which one to use? should they use both?
