I have taken it for three days now, and it seems to get worse each day. I have not had a fever other than low grade, and it seems to have only happened since I started taking Flexeril. I read that it is a vasodilator, so is this what it means can happen? I also have moments of feeling faint and/or feeling dizzy.

When I try to go upstairs to bed, I cannot sleep and toss and turn. I am absolutely knackered and desperately need some shut eye. I can sleep like a baby in hotels - why not in my own bed?

Ive changed the bed, matteress, room layout - everything but to no avail.

Anyone any ideas? Ive tried the usual bath, milky drink etc

Years ago, there would be times when a large lump would form next to my spine (it was the color of a bruise) then would go away in a couple weeks. Today, a large lump is next to my spine. Is this a cyst? If it was cancerous, it wouldn't go away and come back right?

back Ibuprofen and it helped for a while. Then the psych gve her Addreall for ADHD and it syrocketed! They took her off it and it has come down but not down ENOUGH! It's been about 3 weeks or so and it is usually about 130/something. Yesterday she got blood work, Psych is checking to see if something else is causing it, and she saw the ER Dr for a cough. He said pertussis. I've looked it up and I know you can have it for a few weeks before symptoms start- so could that be making her B/P go up? It was 152/93 at the hosp. Maybe the cough did it? But what I would also like to know is how long can this go on without meds? She's 23 &mentally challenged. She's stuck in the middle. But, she see's a Dr Thurs for an allergy shot,. Is it time to put my foot down and DEMAND they do something? How long before she has a stroke or heart attack? She is also overweight. She's aware of the problems assoc with it was on her way to losing when the cough came along. That's Life I guess, right?

Six years ago, I was diagnosed to have toxic thyroid. My doctor gave me medicine and when my thyroid is in normal level, my doctor recommend a radioactive treatment. But I never undergo a radioactive treatment. Just this afternoon, I happen to met a long highschool friend who is now a successful doctor. He told me to have a medical check up immediately because my heart might start to enlarge due to non treatment of thyroid. Is there any doctor out there who can share us ?

I had gone to the ER appox 6 weeks ago for stomach cramping and they gave me an IV... When the nurse gave me my IV she put the rubber band thingy around my arm to draw blood first, and then put the IV in... without releasing the rubber band....It was painfull!!.. Anyways after I left the ER that day I had a bruise for about 3 weeks about 5inches long on my vein from the crease in my arm and up... now I found a lump in my vein at the same area... I went back to the ER as my husband was afraid that the clot could kill me... The ER did a ultra sound of my veins and told me it was a thromboplebitis.. and it should clear up on its own, just to take ibuprophen and put heat on the area... How did this happen and is it really not a big deal??

I have been dieting a doing quite well. The problem is that when I went to weigh myself, I had regained 3 pounds. I have been eating the same as when the loss was going on (eating VERY well and VERY healthy). Is this normal? I won't give up but I am a bit disappointed and concerned.

I can sit here and willingly pop my shoulder in and out of it's joint......or in other words.....dislocate it wilingly.......with no pain at all. Is this possible? And is this going to lead to arthritis when i get older? I'm 15, and i play alot of sports. So i need a good strong shoulder. Could there be a more serious problem with my shoulder? Or could this just be natural and nothing to worry about? Overall the shoulder's a little bit sore.......but not necessarily when i dislocate it.....just when i'm moving it around or at rest.
