Other - Diseases - October 2007

I'm struggling to come to terms with how much this condition (and those wretched pills) have ruined my life. I used to work 5 days a week, party hard on Fridays and help my Dad run his market stall on Sundays. Now all I have left is the markets and my Dad worries about me doing them! I just want to cry sometimes because I don't know what to do. Has anyone got any advice they feel would help me?

I am on pills (Dilantin) and I have tonic clonic, myoclonic, atonic and absence seizures.

Thank you, Rosie.

I was diagnosed with diverticulosis, after a colonoscopy. The symptoms I have are chronic constipation with bloating. I see that the symptoms are the same for IBS. I am wondering if there are two different names for the same condition?

i get such horrible headaches all the time. ive missed so much school in the past year from them. i dont think theyre allergies..i dont really have allergies. i dont think its lighting or anything..i dont have sensative eyes. i went to the doctor and explained everything [more than once..] and hes an idiot. he just tells me that im fine and im a hypochondriac and quit worrying because theyre *probably nothing.[note the probably. heh.] he always tells me theres nothing wrong with me and turns out there is. i mean, hes a smart guy..its just, idk.

im just terrified of a brain tumor or something. i know this girl who always got headaches all the time and they did some tests and found out she had a brain tumor in the back of her head. it makes me wonder if something like that is wrong with me and by the time they find it itll be too late because my doctors so dumb:/ :[

please help. what else could they be? i get them EVERYDAY. no exageration.

[ps]-just for reference, im 16

I am 22 years old and I am white. I was playing hockey and in the middle of my shift I started blacking out, I passed out half way to the bench. I am in awesome shape, but my buds say Im too skinny. I am pretty agile and hardly ever get hit. I have passed out at home too and at work. They told me I was confused, unconscious, and unresponsive. A nurse checked me out and said I had a high HR, RR, palor, but normal BP. My blood sugar was 2.0 mmol/L. The docs say this is why I passed out . . . but I was tested for diabetes and I am not diabetic (type1 or 2). ideas?????

to feel a little funny. I hate half a bowl of chicken and rice around 6 pm and then had a oreo shake at about 1030 pm. My husband had a shake as well and isn't feeling sick. All thru the night, my stomach was uncomfortable and hurt. It wasnt the gassy kind of feeling tho. My stomach has been moving...I know weird. And, this morning, my stomach was still hurting and I was a little nauseaus. Now, almost 24 hrs later, my joints and body are achy and I am EXTREMELY fatigued. Have not thrown up yet or had diarrhea, but any thought of eating makes me gag. I have a family dinner to go to in 4 hrs and was wondering if it is food poisoning or stomach flu. If it is the first, I want to try and go to the dinner.....but if i am contagious, I shouldn't go. Any help would be great!!!! Thanks!

Recently I got Iritis (right eye). I was given eye drops , every 2 hrs for 4 days, 4 times a day for 4 days, 3 times, two times and then once a day. As soon as I finished it flared up again. My doctor said it could be caused by a virus, but did not do a blood check, it has now flared up again. I have started to get really depressed. How can I make it go away?

well been to a doctor (long story been to many), and she said that i have swollen glands and is checking for thyroid problems in some tests. but you know that place where you glands are underneath your jaw? and the pressure points there that can make you faint?
well how come i can hear A my heart beat in there when i press, and B i hear this buzzing, pumping sound in the back of my neck.
all this is connected to the trapt nerve feeling going from my neck into the left side of my head. it feels like a pressure thats going to explode.
i had a clear blood test - blah blah. but what could this be? maybe i have a blood clot in the brain?
and if i do am i snookered?
i am young and hoping i have a chance.
when i pressed there i started seeing a black tunnel. thats not normal right?
i have such a pressure on my larynx, and i find it hard to speak without it sounded slighty hoarse. it feels like my voice box is being pushed.
my headache on the left side goes to my eye. what is this?

On and off pain in lower left side, seems to get worse after bowel movement. Pain radiates down left thigh and left buttox. Have had a full hystorectomy ten years ago. No cancer, fibrod on uterus and endometriosis on ovaries. No blood or black stools present. Had a colonoscopy 3 years ago nothing was found. Also had a virtual colonoscopy 3 years ago which was inconclusive. This has been going on for about 6 months. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I'm 24 and this is embarrassing, but I can't drink. It doesn't matter how much I drink or what I drink (well, alcohol of course), I feel sick within an hour and have a horrible hangover the next day. I've tried everything including replacing fluids and electrolytes before bed (Gatorade), taking ibuprofen before bed (I know, not recommended), various OTC hangover remedies but nothing works. Now, I know you might think this is a good thing but it would be nice to have a beer with my friends or a glass of wine with a date and not feel like I'm going to die - I'm not looking to get drunk.

Does anybody know if it's possible to have some sort of enzyme deficiency where you can't digest alcohol? Anybody else have this problem? Suggestions?

Is it even possible to stay in recovery , when you live with a every day drinker. Fell off my wagon 2 days ago after being in recovery forever. Now I'm not only sick but my family is mortified.

I just got prescribed citalopram (40mg) and usually about two nights a week I go out and get wasted. I know they say you shouldn't drink while taking this, but I look forward to hitting the bars all week long. Even if I don't drink a lot, I'd like to be able to have at least six or seven beers and a couple of shots. I was talking to some guy at a party one time who said he was on zoloft and whenever he knew he was going out for a big night of drinking he just didn't take his meds that day. So I'm thinking that's what I'll try. I've gone without this stuff for a while now so if I miss a day or two I don't think it'll be a problem, but I just wanted to see what you guys think would be the best idea.

i have read this post from another guy. and it sounds EXACTLY like my symptoms.
runny nose, pain on one side. etc etc.
but i heard true story from someone else about this guy who had been told by a doctor that he had cluster headaches.

then died of a brain hemorage.

is this going to happen with me?

im mean ya i get headaches, and MAYBE have an overactive thyroid (gettting a test for it). but i DON'T get symptoms like vomiting, dizzyness, panick attacks, hallucinations, motor problems (some twitching but ive done it ever since smoking pot lol), and vision probs.

so tell me - even if i do have this. its not fatal. right?
