I have migraine with aura/epilepsy and osteoma ostitis, now have vision problems and numbness?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

I am 27 years old (male). 7 months back I suddenly felt numbness on my left side and tingling with darkness or blindness in my left eye which lasted for about 1 min (several times a day). I did CT Scan, MRI and EEG of brain and doctor told me I have migraine with aura/epilepsy and osteoma ostitis (3.2cmX1.9 cm) on Occipital bone. Numbness was bit controlled after continuing medication but these days it is happening frequently. Currently I’m under these following medicines:

– Topiramate 50 mg twice a day
– Gabapentin 300 mg twice a day
– Pizotifen BP 0.5 mg once in a night
– Thiamine Mononitrate + Pyridoxine Hydrochloride + Cyanocobalamin. Twice a day

But 1 month back I had fever for 10 days and since then I am experiencing vision problem which are flashes of light, check pattern with lights. I cannot read on white paper and feel comfortable to stay in dark. Retina specialist has confirmed that my eyes are alright. Also I suffer from severe headache sometimes.

I am confused whether this vision problem and numbness are related to the tumor or not and what should I do now? It will be highly appreciated if I could get any suggestion from you.

** I would also like to mention here that I’m a software engineer by profession for which I need to work with PC for 8-10 hrs a day X 7 days a week.

Kind Regards,

I was diagnosed mitrial valve prolapse, hard to focus and concentrate, need CT or MRI?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

I’m 22 years old, male, I was diagnosed either mitrial valve prolapse in 2003 and I’m currently prescribed a 1mg tablet of ativan to take as needed to treat anxiety. My name is 9…).

Long story short, I’ve been having trouble with dizziness, feeling like totally disconnected, weird feelings in my head, can’t seem to get myself to focus and concentrate, etc. Just an overall troubled feeling in my head ever since I was diagnosed with an acute sinus infection/upper respiratory infection & possibly the beginnings of walking pneumonia and was given a course of antibiotics and a course of steroids. I forgot the dosages, I apologize for that.

1 month down the road I was told I had vertigo via some eye test he gave me with a light that i followed to show how they move (I dont know if that matters or helps) and fluid behind the ears. My doctor prescribed meclizine and it didn’t help at all and gave me heart palpitations besides.

Now we’re 2 months down the road and I’m still having trouble but then came all the lack of focus and concentration etc I described. Today I’ve gone to my doctor again and he says the fluid is mostly gone from my middle ear. He conducted a basic neurological exam along with that light test again and he claims I till have a little vertigo still. Also he claims I have nothing neurological to worry about. I’m still feeling worse somewhat and am still concerned.

My question is do you think 1) all of this could be connected to the vertigo or not so much??

2) do you think I should press for a CT scan or MRI just to be safe??

I admit I’m a hypochondriac but Ivery never experienced anything like this before. Now I’ve one some homework on like brain cancer and things like that. I haven’t threw up or lost the use of any limbs or anything like that but I’m still concerned there may be something brain related going on.

Do I have reason for concern because this has drawn out for over 2 months??

I appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you and God bless.

I am concerned I am possibly pre-diabetes?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

Female 48 Caucasian i’ll be trying, let Mcdoel, Synthroid .150

two years ago I had a giant unexplained weight loss of 60 pounds. The only thing I did differently was take 3 tablespoons of a good quality coconut oil a day.. I lost 60 pounds in about seven months which I needed to loseand kept it on for about a year and three months.

no, I have begun rapidly gaining weight. When I realized I was gaining weight again which wasn’t till probably I added 10 or 15 pounds because I was too “skinny fat”. The only changes I have made was switching to Costco coconut oil which means all the criteria for a good coconut oil only I did stop taking it because I couldn’t stomach the taste and I had lost the weight and kept it all so I assumed I was in the clear.

I have probably found gained 25 pounds. I have been to my primary care doctor and my gynecologist who both have simply said I don’t know. My primary care physician was very skeptical skeptical of that coconut oil cause me to lose weight In the first place.

No I am concerned it’s possibly pre-diabetes? I don’t understand why that was never mentioned to me as a possibility unless possibly tests were done to check for that and I didn’t know-I know she checked my liver and kidney functionality and my thyroid which she upped slightly. She has retired but I still go to her group of doctors so I can easily access old tests that she ran. my gynecologist for ovarian cyst and premenopausal I’ve been both are negative.

I am now very concerned about diabetes because for the first time I came across something online. Of course, I was so excited I didn’t look for legal reasons for extreme large weight loss. I just figured it coincided with the coconut oil and that’s what was doing it. Of course now I’m gaining weight and not getting answers from doctors- who are good doctors by the way-but I’m all over the Internet about weight gain and just came across something about the possibility of prediabetes. Turned it in and has five day a week weightlifting a day and a 2 day a week cardio exercise plan. No weight loss but definitely lost edges but then became ill and stop out and since haven’t had the energy

Would this account for an unexplained 60 pound weight loss maintained for a year followed by unexplained weight gain 30 pounds. My doctors don’t have any answers but I don’t think this is something I can ignore. Can ANYONE PLEASE help me? I am very alarmed. I do have a gap and insurance until January but I will find the money to go to whatever type of doctor I need to go to who will give me ANSWERS if someone can suggest it to me. My worst fear is gaining that 60 pounds back again. I can’t do that again. I watch the world out the window and have no energy to do anything. This weight on it was like a miracle a modeling is the life of a completely different way. I had the energy to take a walk on the beach instead of just saying “no- I’ll stay here while my kids went and I gave them their boundaries.
PLEASE HELP- no one seems concerned I change that no doctors seem concerned.

I’ve been taking Propranolol for the chest pains, now have headaches and pain on left side of head and body?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

Hello! I’m 17, and a female. For the medical history, I have asthma and high-blood pressure. Last month I’ve visited a cardiologist for the frequent palpitations, chest pains and dizzyness that I’ve been experiencing but they said that the results are normal, I’ve been taking Propranolol for the chest pains which is prescribed by my doctor and stopped using inhalers for my asthma because they told me to and it can cause my heart to palpitate.

I just want to ask about something I’m very worried about these following days. I’ve been experiencing headaches (not severe) on the left side of my head alongside with a neck pain on the leftside also. It feels like the left side of my head is heavier than the right side then it seems like the left side of my body is weaker than the other one and sometimes my head feels lighter. I haven’t consulted a doctor on this case. Can you help me?

I literally feel the blood flow and when it stops. for a couple years now the right side of my face will out of no where get a strange numbing/tingling feeling and I almostfeel like im on drugs. (I am definitely not). my wrist hurts terribly especially after my finger lock up in strange positions. my fingers have done that for years but now my wrist is killing me. my right eye sometimes get off focused or blurring for a few but goes back. I have for at least 5 years had trouble with my bowels (constipation). I have to be careful what I drink because I will get a bladder infection very easily and kidney stones. I am 34 years old.

When I try to drink any substantial amount of water, I feel sick and get diarrhea?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

23, female, taking Wellbutrin and TriNessa

I am having difficulty staying hydrated. When I try to drink any substantial amount of water, I feel sick and get diarrhea within 30 minutes. It doesn’t matter if I’ve recently eaten or not, and filtered vs. tap water doesn’t make a difference either. This has been going on for at least six months, off and on. More recently, within the last month, I’ve been having some chest pain on the left side that feels like heart burn, and some palpitations. My GP said my heart is fine, so I think it’s because I’m always dehydrated. What can I do to keep from getting sick off water?

I have cold hands almost all the time, even in the summer?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

I’m 15 and female. Previously I have had alopecia Areata and eczema. I have cold hands almost all the time, even in the summer. They don’t really change in colour, just go a bit patchy and pale. When I hand something to someone they feel my hand and say how freezing my hands are which causes embarrassment. My skin is generally really pale anyway. I also lack concentration and coordination.
What could this be?

I am interested in implanting a Bio-Thermo RFID?

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

I am interested in implanting a Bio-Thermo RFID. I had a quick question regarding implant site. Temperature consistency is important to me, but the armpit or inner bicep is out of the question. I wanted to ask if it would be safe to implant over the ilium, just inside the hip bone (>2 cm away from bone). It seems as though the bone would protect the chip from blunt trauma and as hips aren’t often exposed to open air the readings should be more consistent than, say, a forearm. From what I’ve read so far, there are no nerves that would be at risk of being damaged in this region, but I wanted to reach out and ask your opinion on this.
