Idiopathic intracranial hypertension?
I have had IIH in 2014 been on meds, number of lumber punctures and surgery but have not been successful. Again same in 2015 and 2016. I get severe headaches, eye swelling, affects my left side more. I lose vision at times, total black out, weakness in legs and dizziness. Drs do not know what is causing this and why it comes, unsure of what is actually going on. These problems are continuous all day everyday for more then 8 weeks
I’m (…), age 61 (female). Recently I’ve under a lot of stress at work with a lot going on and challenges I don’t seem to be able to fix. However, health wise, I see a doctor regularly and take medications to control my stress and BP but seemingly only to a point. Lately I’ve started to worry.
….. about 8-9 months or so I’ve had trouble climbing my 16 step stairs at home and even just coming into work, walking up hill (slightly) from my car to my office, I am now really out of breath. So much so that I have to stop and rest, then move on. Numerous times I’ve even felt like I had a serious head ache with the breathlessness. I have never had this before I started taking my last medication for depression and I fear its getting worse.
Where do I go from here? Last cardio exam, I was just fine and passed every time I’ve had the exams/tests. Now I’m worried its possibly something wrong with my lungs or worse, the combination of meds perhaps making me even more ill. My immune system has never been good, but I’ve always had lots of energy. Nothing slowed me down. I’m not sure if its my heart, my lungs, or my meds. I’m 5’6″ tall, 215 lbs. Always active until this past year or so and I’m starting to feel my age and worried about just everything.

Hi i am a 18 yr old female, I have anemia! I was diagnosed with pneumonia on the 2/1/17 after having a cough and other symptoms for over 9weeks, the pneumonia is in my left lung, when I went to the hospital I had pain in my back and chest, the pain has now moved to my shoulder and ribs on left side, is this normal? The pain it really sharp and painful I have also started coughing again this had stopped for about five days and now it’s returned, is that normal? I finish my medication on Monday!
I have pernicious anaemia and require regular B12 injections.
I have a new doctor whom I trust. However, when the time comes for my B12 injection, I wonder if he is doing it right because all the other doctors who have injected me with B12 have inflicted me with some level of pain (which I don’t mind as I am used to it and I know to expect it from the B12s). This doctor however inflicts no pain at all and the injection is done very quickly (I always have injections in upper arm) and I can’t help wondering if he is doing it right (He does not hold the needle perpendicular to the skin but slanted too). I have not dared raising the question with him though I have mentioned how painless his injections are. Should I be more open and discuss this with him or is he possibly aware of a way of injecting this B12 which most other doctors don’t know about?
I am 56, female.
22 y/o female. No past pregnancies. My whole life i have been hindered by extreme abdominal pain, bowel movement pain and extremely painful periods. A few months ago i was told during an ultrasound my uterus is retroverted and retroflexed, and that my uterus and both ovaries are more to the left side. I have done research and have connected with other who have the same symptoms and conditions. I spoke with my doctor today to see if i could get a referral to an arvigo therapist ( they correct the position of uterus with massage) and he told me no! He said that its impissible for my uterus to be causing any issues and refused to refer me. I have seen other doctors and had other tests done and theyve found no other cause. Does it make sense for my doc to refuse this even though i know what symptoms im having and believei know the cause ( what else could it be?)
30 years old female. 140lbs. No health issues known. MRI/CT scan normal, blood work normal, blood sugar normal, EKG/ECHO/HOLTER normal, ENT did not find any issues, allergies – zero allergies, no vitamin deficit issues.
I’ve had this off balance/unsteady feeling in my head for months now. Noticed more when looking down at my computer, looking down in the sink to wash dishes, looking down to shave my legs as I sit on the side of the tub, looking down to cook. Standing still, and looking in the mirror. When I am slightly bent to the sink to look at my eyes in the mirror I feel this feeling.
Doctors are clueless and I am TIRED of feeling like crap! Scared to work out and live my life. I just want to be normal again.
I dont drink or do drugs, former smoker – quit two months ago.
I’m 58 and 5 years ago I had tests where they found I had calcification!
Tonight while using the flat of my hand and feeling under my arms and up over my collarbone I found lots of small movable lumps! Should I be worried ? I am having a full knee operation on 9 February, is it wise to get these lumps checked out before I have my operation?
Im an 18 year old woman. I started having migraines for 7 months now with all of its symptoms . I was taking sanmigran . 3 months now i had a mild urinary tract infection and we found out that I have kidney stones. Now i have no kidney stones and no infection. But I still get migraine so I had an MRI done. nothing was found. that was 6 months ago. Now i experience sever back and limb pain that comes a goes. confusion inability to focus joint pain and insomnia. sometimes i get limb jerks and unsteady walking and incontinence and vision issues even though my eyes are healthy. I also get mood swings and my urine is abnormal and smells weird. I went to a doctor 4 days ago and got diagnosed with epilepsy. I’m not sure with this diagnosis. I got prescripted Tegretol and Sanmigran again.
Female age 24. Not sure what matters and what doesn’t so im listing everything that is abnormal. Some symptoms I’ve had for a long time such as fatigue, weakness, night sweats, random itchiness especially when I go to sleep, I’ve gotten small circle red scaly looking patches on my arms and legs usually just one at a time every few months. I have silent reflux. And also I don’t know if this is anything but maybe like a year ago my right tonsil started getting swollen randomly at times and has continued to. Now it’s just always larger than the left and sometimes gets a little bigger with some discomfort.
Recently. In July I went to hospital for lower abdominal pain and bloody stool. They did a ct scan and found I had colitis. Did a colonoscopy but the infection had already cleared up and they didn’t find anything else. Was extremely nauseous for a couple months after that.
Along with that ct scan that also found a 2cm nodule on my left adrenal gland. Primary doctor ran some hormone bloodwork. Only dhea s came back high and he thinks it’s from pcos but nothing further was done.
Fast forward to november. Started getting right abdominal and back pain. In December had an ultrasound then an mri done and they found gallstones. Also had bloodwork done and had a white count of 18 and had high liver numbers. I had my gallbladder laparoscopicly removed on December 30th.
Along with that I’ve had a low grade fever almost every night for about a month. Temp starts going up around midnight and comes back down about 5am. My normal temp is between high 97 and low 98. My temp at night goes up to 99.4 so far.
My concern pretty much is each time something was wrong I did prior research and ended up being right. My research with this has led me to lymphoma and lupus and I just don’t know if that’s a possibility or what to do.
Age 43 female I have adult polycyclic kidney disease diagnosed when I was 27. Been taking antihypertensives since. Had dull ache in lower abdomen past 3-4 weeks, also has progressed to stitch like pain in both sides, although this seems to move around. Tummy feels inflamed and I feel bloated, reduced appetite. Feel tired. Urine tested no blood present. Saw go last week who gave me co codomol, when the pain became acute all of a sudden, have stopped taking now…. I suppose I just want to know if this is what I can expect from having apkd or if it’s a stomach thing…..
I have a problem which seems like my lips is unable to moisturize itself. It simply just drys up. either crack or get “hard” and then peel. The dried up skin. It seems to be white, worst on my bottom lip, on the middle bottom of my upper lip and also draw a white line on my upper lip when contacted with water.
And inside mouth also forms some little thick saliva.
I also drank water constantly throughout the day.
So i meet the doctor and he ask me to do hbs, rvs and mp test. after i did all, every was negative and the doctor gave me some little drugs, i drank all without success.
but the first time i did the mp test before when i started having this symptom, it was positive, but now negative and the lip problem still remained the same.
This problem has been persisting for the past 4 months.
I’m 23 of age.
Had surgery on my tail bone first the doctor stitched it and it blew open then my wife packed it to heal from the inside out but it won’t heal all the way and did surgery October 31 what can be done doctor looked at it 2 weeks ago and said was good but it’s not.
I’m female, 22 years old and 8 weeks pregnant. I’ve had a severe migraine for 5 days that goes away temporarily when eating, especially sugary foods, but comes back shortly after. I’m experiencing sensitivity to light, throbbing, and it hurts when I move suddenly. My pupils look small/constricted. Paracetamol has no effect. What could the cause be? Should I be worried? I’m taking sertraline 100mg for depression and anxiety, and pregnacare original.
I am 21, male, Do not know where to start so i am just gonna write, first notices it 7 months ago when my left arm biceps started to twitch, initially i thought it would stop it did not it persisted to twitch 24 hours a day, when i am awake and when i sleep so i went to the doctor and she said it happens and that i should consume more magnesium and i took it every day but twitching continued, went to the other doctor month after she sent me to emergency to take many tests and go to many doctors, nobody knew why is this happening, so i ordered another exemination in my city capital and they did that nerve test (witch i already did in my city) results were the same that it is not nerves, so since i told them i did’nt feel any weakness in that arm so they told me they don’t know what it is and that i should just live with it, the thing is its been like this for 7 months now and i feel twitches in my legs and even forehead, i am just looking what is wrong with me? i refuse to accept it is nothing
i did blood test, urine test, nerves test, MRI(upper and lower) but machine is a bit old,
