I've recently discovered just how awesome Goody's powder is and as a result bought some in bulk. I don't like the idea of trying it before I try regular pills when I have a headache because I'm afraid I'll build up an tolerance to it. From what I've looked up online, it doesn't seem like a biggie to use Goody's as long as you don't take it every single day, but I'd like to get some input from other people who use it on a regular basis. Thanks for any help!

I've been to the doctor, but I'm looking for other opinion before I go back.
It all began this past Thursday when I just felt worn out. Friday it got worse so I spent the majority of the day in bed. As the day progress a sore throat began to materialize which was preventing me from sleeping it was so sore. Felt what I imagine swallowing shards of glass would be like. Went to the pharmacy to some Ibuprofen which helped me through the night. I decided to go to the doctor saturday morning. He took a quick look at me and gave me a script for penecilin. My throat is no any better after taking the penecilin for a full day and I've now got white/yellowish patches and a few little red nodes all over the back of my throat.

What ever this is I think that it is working its way up my eustacian tubes an into my ears. Can anyone confirm if this is just a bad case of strep, or something. And what can I do for the pain. I'm already on Tylenol, Advil, Penecilin, pills for sleep

Hi, I am 26 year old woman with 2 kids. And i am miffed as to what my symptoms are, i am in the uk and we can not self refer ourselves to a neorologist (sp) which is where i want to go, we are also registered with a certain doctors clinic where their are numerous doctors (gp's), i have seeked 4 different opinions within my clinic and have been told different things..

This has been going on for about 5 years, i had an mri of the head and i have had 2 ecg's (electrodes on my head) and they were all negative.. my blood pressure is on the low side of normal 105/60, But this past few months have gotton worse.. here are my symptoms:
pain in my right ear. (no sign of infections, just a scar from infections as being a kid).
ear feels as if theres wind blowing in it sometimes.
pain all around the ear. (skull area)
pain in my right temple following onto my right cheek.
pain just above my right temple.
pain above my right eye following from above my right temple.
pain down my right hand side of my neck as if its follows on from my ear.
my neck clicks when i move it sometimes grinds.
on a flare up i call it my right eye waters a little, and the areas with pain are tender to touch, tender when i cough, tender when i sneeze and tender when i move my head. (lasts few hours).
tingling down right side of my face.


I have been told, migrane (but i have had migrane and thats throbbing?), Trigeminal Neuralgia? tmj? ( i dont have an overbite nor do i grind, no sign in my teeth of that but my jaw does click when i open it). i was worried about it being a brain tumour but have been reasured that the pain would get worse, i would have high blood pressure, and other symptoms, and have been told that the sympoms i am experiencing wouldnt be seen as having one of these. so i am reasured of this, but i really want some answers and am not getting any.

I have been to the dentist ordered a mouthguard just incase, and i been refered to a dental consultant at the hospital, (can they do a ct scan?) been to the opticians, all is ok he took a pic of behind my eyes no shadows or anything..

does anyone know what this could be?

If your in the uk and see a neuro could you ask them for me? i am so desperate..

thankyou xx

I am a high school track runner, and I've been having this weird minor pain in my right hip/groin area for about a month now. It doesn't bother me too much, and it only hurts when I walk, and sometimes it doesn't hurt at all. The weirdest thing is it doesn't hurt in the least when I run. Running actually makes it NOT hurt. Like I said, this has been going on for about a month, and I've been running on it (it's pretty much nonexistant when I'm running) and it hasn't gotten any worse, but I am a little concerned that it hasn't gone away yet. It's very minor pain, but I'm worried about it getting worse, and I don't want to stop running. Anyone have any incite on what this weird random twinge is? Should I be concerned about it?

It's been 10 days now since I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed (at age 32). I'm not sure if I ever had dry sockets since the surgeon didn't quite say that I did, but I was in so much pain on days 3-5 on the lowers that he packed them with a clove oil formula and that pretty much took the pain away.

The pain came back within 2 days though, and I went back in. He asked if I wanted to re-pack or leave as-is. He implied that it might be better to not pack them, so I passed and just dealt with more pain for the last two days.

The two lower dry socket areas do feel somewhat better recently, but I still have a lot of jaw pain in general, and even my teeth/gums are sore on the top of my mouth. Could this all be from the lower dry sockets still, or is it possible that my teeth are now shifting?

My wife just thinks I am being a baby about all of this (since hers came out without issue when she was 18), but this is pretty much Hell ...
