Other - Diseases - October 2007

I woke up a few days ago with my mouth and tounge swollen. I could hardly talk and was difficult to understand. I went to work anyway but a few hours later, I developed a fever and went home and slept most of the day. Slowly it has gone away (I still can feel some sensivity in the roof of my mouth).

Now, although only the roof of my mouth feels a bit painful, my whole mouth and lips are very sensitive to anything even mildy spicy. I like Jack cheese and had some but found that I couldn't even think of eating it. I ate a bite the other night and it burned my mouth terribly. Before, I enjoyed it all the time. I tried taking a shot of wisky at a party of a friend and found that it also burned my mouth and tounge. I had to spit it out it hurt so much.

I'm worried that this is a symptom of something else very serious going on in my body. Does anyone else know what can cause this?

Thanks - Rich

My doctor says my anti-thyroid antibodies are elevated. I do not know what the anti-thyroid antibodies are called. As far as I can tell by the research I have found on the internet, anti-thyroid antibodies are associated with Hashimotos/hypothyroidism. I thought that hypothyoidism would make my heart rate slow. Also, does anyone know what the anti-thyroid anitbody is called? My doctor says that the normal limit is 35.0, my level was over 1,000.

Okay, I do have a strong personality but lately I feel too angry and irritable...like pms everyday. Four years ago I had an embolization to shrink fibroids in my uterus. This was my first indication that my problem was hormonal. Clicking noises bother the hell out of me. I speak too sharply to people sometimes and I feel attacked at certain moments. I'm articulate and generally a nice person but recently I've been what even I term a "b@#tch". Anyone can relate or tell me what could be going on? I'm 43 years old, still get my period regularly, overweight, a professional and usually pretty easy going and fun to be around. HELP! Should I get meds? Take certain vitamins? Xanax? I don't know and don't want to just medicate myself with no results. I'm not depressed but have had a few traumatic events happen one after the other. A baby we were adopting was taken away, my uncle died in a car accident and I'm fat (again, after losing 25 lbs, I've gained 30 back) HELP!

We have had major diarreah (watery) and upset stomach all day. We both ate that rice and aren't feeling well. I am thinking this is it but not sure if those bugs can make you that sick. We have taken pepto but not sure if we should make a doctor's visit? Are there other precautions or complications from this? Is there a certain med we should be taking ? TIA

my mom has had this problem for about 5 years now. She is 46. She gets horrible back pain and her nerves occasionally get pinched causing her face and arms to become numb. It has really become a problem lately. She has to see a chiropractor every week or more depending. She has also done physical therapy. While these have seemed to keep her pain from getting worse it definitely is not getting better. She is even considering acupuncture. My question is what do you know about this disease and what can be done to help (and don't just say drugs..thats the obvious answer...) I have heard little about fusing the spine or an experimental disc surgery. My mom would prefer the ladder but refuses since it's only in the experimental phase. Where can I find info on these surgeries and maybe convince my mom it is safe (if it is safe and guaranteed improvement).

Hi I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism about a year ago and all I do is take medications (Hormonal)..
(I am a 22 years old male by the way) I use to be a very avtive smart atheletic young guy, but since about three-four years ago things have taken a bad turn. Hypothyroidism has put a U-turn in my life, I am no longer smart but am dum compared to the average people around me, my memory (wait i have no more memory,lol)has decreased significantly and I am sluggish in speech, and life is getting worse it seems as depression seems to be setting in from timt to time.

I wanted to know if there was something else that I could do
Like eat some certain foods that are good for the thyroid gland
or exercise the thyroid through yoga maybe?
Meditate, be one with God,..pray?

Can you please share with me anything other than eating the medications that you do for you HYPOthyroidism???

thanks appreciate any replies..

Medical experts look for clusters in environmental diseases and bacterial outbreaks in neighborhoods. Has anyone considered the fact that a benign medical test (sonagram) given at a certain gestational period might be the reason for the increase in the diagnosis of autism?

My mom when she eats solid food the food stops just below the vocal cord area in the throat & just sits there but when she swallows soft foods like yogurt or a drink goes down fine. Mom feels sick to her stomach during those times too. The doctor said she didnt think there was anything wrong! do you believe that! the doctor must be out of her mind. Mom is going in to a new doctor and they will put a camera into her throat lets hop shes safe but it beats the first opinion! Mom had acid reflux years back and had been using those purple pills that is supose to stop it mybe it made things worse? Im thinking theres an obstruction in her throat? Does anyone know what this might be?

My little sister fainted the other day at school (she's 11), after cutting her finger by accident. Apparently it is quite common for kids to faint after quite minor wounds, the sight of blood etc. Its the first time it's happened to her though. She was only unconsious for a few seconds but was convulsing. Is that normal? I don't want to make a big deal out of it and worry her if it is not important. It didn't sound like epilepsy to me - this is the only time something like that has happened and there was an reason (of sorts) for the fainting. Is there anything to worry about?
