I have a history of migraines that have always been very tracable to a severe yeast allergy. I don't eat yeast anymore, and every time I do, I get a migraine. I have the type with an aura, and my symptoms progress reliably through: blind spots and tunnel vision, numbing of the right hand and arm, right lips and cheek and sometimes tongue. The headache itself doesn't usually set in until about 4 hours after the start of all this. I have always taken Imitrex with success before the headache sets in.

Yesterday I had a migraine I cannot explain. I had eaten out for dinner the night before: steak tips and onions, garlic mashed potatos and steamed veggies. I ate the same thing as leftovers for lunch yesterday (no breakfast, just water and one ghirardelli square). About ten or fifteen minutes into eating lunch, the migraine started up with the vision spots.

I have no other symptoms, no head trauma, nothing has changed in my life, diet, etc. and I normally don't even get headaches. It is a constant dull pain from the minute I wake until I go to sleep. My vision also seems to be the same. I had an MRI done- anxiously waiting for results. Excedrin, Sudafed headache etc. don't work for me. Any ideas?

5 days ago I tripped over a bucket & hurt my left foot. It is still stiff, it throbs, it gets swollen each day, and I take Ibrubofen to help it although the Ibrubofen doesn't seem to do much. There is no discolouration. The pain is on the left hand side above the ball of my foot. Unfortunately I have to work and my work involves 8 hours each day on my feet serving customers and filling shelves.
My question is: as I am on my feet each day can this damage the foot any further or does it just mean it will take longer to get better?
When I prop up my leg high, low or wherever, it makes no difference to the throbbing.

Can doctors really diagnose fibromyalgia or is this just a scapegoat term to keep fat lazy hypochondriacs out of their waiting rooms?

And if so will they prescribe sugar pill placebos or would they prescribe pills made from Nutrasweet?

I have two herniated (Slipped) disks in my neck, I have had this injury for 5 years now, my neurosurgen keeps telling me to have surgery and have the disks removed and replaced with artificial. Ive talked to a few people about the surgery and the people ive talked to that have had it say not to because they did and where worse off after having it. Ive been in gut wrenching pain for 5 years now and on pain meds as well, im sick of the meds and sick of the pain, what should i do? have the surgery or not, the thing that worries me the most is that they will have to go through my throat to replace the disks and ive heard nothing but horror stories about the surgery. Any websites that I can get information from?, any advice?, any help would be much appreciated.

I tripped and fell on my left thigh, right on top of a bunch of cards (like credit cards). The result has been a "Charlie horse", where climbing up or down the stairs is painful, to say the least.
Even bending the leg is very difficult.
Thanks for your help.

i rolled my foot 4 weeks ago at school.
i went to the doctor and got xrays and they saw nothing so i was gave some crutches and i was on my way.
it was still swollen and bruised and hurting super bad a week later.
i went to a foot doctor and they say nothing in the xrays either so i had a soft cast put on and i had to get a MRI in the MRI they saw nothing but a slight tear in my ligament but they said not to worry about it much.
after that they gave me a "Blue Shoe" for 2 weeks and when i went back it was still hurting really bad.
they sent me to get a repeate MRI just to make sure they didn't miss anything and when the results came in it was nothing.
so they put me in a brace and in tennis shoes.
i go back to the doctor in 6 weeks.

it still hurt REALLY REALLY bad..
like NEVER before..
it throbs in pain 24/7
i don't know what to do anymore..

ANY SUGGESTiONS?

I went to the doctor yesterday and found out I have an ear infection. He gave me Zithromax, which I started last night. I thought I was feeling better but today it's been on and off miserable...I can't stand to talk on the phone and feel like I am underwater. When can I expect to feel better? Usually anibiotics start kicking stuff right away!

I was on Cymbalta for 3 months about a year ago. At first I couldn't tell the effects but later things got better. On my last visit I told the doctor I was okay and didn't think I needed it anyomore. Once it was out of my system I felt bad again. I went back to the dr. again and asked to be put back on it and he did. The first time I started of on 30 mg. and progressed to 60. This time I was started off with 60. Does this make a difference? And since I had trouble after the first time will I have to remain of these meds for years? I would have asked my dr. but these questions just occured to me. Any answers guys? Thanks.
