Blue Nails When Cold Or Washing Hands

Over the last month my left thumb nail and occasionally my right will go a bluey/purple colour when I am cold or washing my hands. I went to see my doctor about this who suggested it was probably just stress and to take a multivitamin(!) However since seeing my doctor my fingers and occasionally my palms are going blue as well! On top of this both of my ring finger nails are permanently blue? I don't have an appointment until the 24th and am really worried because everything I have read online is suggesting heart/lung disease etc. I am only 26 years old!! I have been going through a very stressful time recently with losing my house and then a family member and am suffering with anxiety.

Sertraline :: Zoloft Withdrawal - Get Waves Of Anxiety

I was on 50mg for 5 years and I gain 20 pounds.  I finally decide to stop taking sertraline and I beg my doctor to let me do it. She finally agree and I went from 50mg to 25mg for 2 weeks and 12 mg for 2 weeks and then I was off. I was fine until today 2 MONTHS later. I get waves of anxiety and then it goes away, I  sweat cold and then goes away, my arms tingling and then it goes away.  I am not sure if I should have to go back to Zoloft ?

Anxiety :: Dizziness And Cold Top Of Head With Headache

So I've been fighting anxiety for about 8 years now, compounded with some pretty unpleasant experiences including having one of my friends die in front of me from heart failure and then having to personally ensure his incineration and bringing his remains home to his family.  I've spent about 7 years of my adult life on military or private military missions overseas in third world countries. The last few months I have been getting a lot of dizziness/lightheadedness when I'm overseas, but almost none when I'm home with my wife. Just recently I was briefing something and the room started spinning and I had to close one eye to concentrate on the slides, this lasted about 90 seconds I think, then another 90 seconds of unsteadiness, after which the top of my head felt cold and achy. I'm just wondering if anyone else has ever experienced something like this?

Anxiety :: Tapering Off Xanax - Cold Turkey

I was never told by doctor 2 important things.  1) Only take Xanax when you feel a major attack coming on. 2) DO NOT stop taking it cold turkey.  After being diagnosed with Anxiety a few weeks ago, I started taking .12mg of Xanax 3 times a day, it did make me feel better, but after experiencing some harsh side effects. I decided to see my doctor. He then told me that I only should be taking it when a major attack comes on and that I need to stop taking it 3 times a day.  Well, I have not had any major attacks, but now I am starting to feel heavy chest pressure, shooting pains, and headaches.  After doing some independent research, I found that these are most likely the effects of stopping Xanax cold turkey, which is strongly discouraged.  My doctor never told me this.  So now I am trying to figure out what I should to resolve these latest issues.  Everything I read points to taking the Xanax again, but tapering off of it slowly.  Any advice as to how I should go about this?  Should I take .12mg twice a day, regardless of an attack, and taper off from there?

Ulcerative Colitis :: Waves Of Pain

The last two days have been painful. Now at 11 45 pm they are easing. The pain comes in waves. I find laying of my left side helps. I then catnap. Despite the pains I managed to fix my man cave door and unblock a drain. It took 45mins. It made me feel better just because I have achieved something which needed doing.

My wife is my carer, I am disabled also with back and knees, I try to do things myself. She's a diamond and my wife not a slave.

I no longer drive a car. Colitis is very life changing. I haven't been out for 6 months except for hospital both times in an ambulance.

A vegan told me that colitis is because I eat the flesh of dead animals. So I offered him a bacon butty with HP sauce. It's like religion--- guilt

Tomorrow all being well I am going to tidy my man cave up.

I am lucky in that I have a large supportive family and I am moneywise safe , just. Especially not driving. I get stuff delivered. Tesco and Asda are good.

It must be far worse for a younger person who loses their job and house because they can't work.

So when I get into the woe is me bit. I count my lucky stars, things could be worse.

Reflux Oesophagitis :: Waves Of Pain In My Throat

Hey I have recently had an endoscopy done as was getting bad acid reflux, all came back clear apart from when some biopsies was done they showed some extra white cells in my stomach. I have been taking acid reflux meds and for the last two weeks keep getting what I can only describe as waves of pain in my throat it really hurts my throat or should I say neck also feels tender to touch. The pain just comes and goes in waves in my throat and it's almost like what I had when the acid was bad but in my chest. Has anyone else suffered from this? Am at my wits end and going back to doctors this week

Kidney Stones? Nausea / Vomiting - Upper Back Pain Waves

I have had an achy upper back pain for a few days now. I was attributing it to having slept funny, but now I am thinking it was a warning sign I missed. I woke up at 2am with horrible nausea and sharp pain in my upper left back. It comes in waves and was so severe it brought tears to my eyes. I have had kidney pain from infection in the past and while different I think this pain may be kidney related too. I am trying to find some way to get comfortable enough to sleep since it is the middle of the night and I don't want to wake two sleeping babies and drag them to the ER. I tried calling the nurse helpline provided by my insurance company, but he just told me to try a heating pad and some Tylenol.
I have a lot of prescription pain meds in my medicine cabinet because I have had 2 c sections and another surgery within the last couple years and I hate taking pain meds... I took an oxycodone.  That along with a vibrating massage mat under my back seems to be helping with the pain for the moment, but the nausea is even worse now. Any suggestions for that? I just need to make it to morning so I can go to an urgent care clinic. There is no one to watch the babies right now and of course o would get sick on Sunday when my primary care doc is closed.

Fluoxetine :: Having A Blue Day

I'm about 6 wks on flu now and had at last a few good days this week, less nausea brighter mood, more energy -very welcome feeling. 

Think having a blip today as feeling very sad and cried for first time in a while. I'm sure it's just a random 'not so good' day as a few tests over the last week have meant hospital visits, not eating before hand, taking meds different times and long days. So i'm trying to take it on the chin and hope tomorrow is better.

Penis :: Has Blue Balls

A few nights ago I was fooling around with my girlfriend and I had a normal, fully-erect hard on. But by the time she had her hands on it, it wasn't a full erection anymore (that's not the problem though). She was masturbating me for a while but I got an emergency call and had to leave. Next hour my balls started hurting, but I know I had blue balls and it was perfectly fine the next morning.

However ever since that night I cannot get a full erection. It gets hard, but still feels a bit soft, not like it used to be. I feel not much sensation when masturbating and when I ejaculate, there is no orgasm. Also my penis, when not hard, feels a lot softer than it normally is (it's usually firmer, but now it's just really soft). There is also a red mark on the glans that's painful to the touch, it's been getting better the last few nights but not completely healed yet.

BTW I'm 17 and uncircumcised, live a healthy lifestyle with physical activities on a weekly basis and a healthy diet. No alcohol or drugs.

Orlistat :: Taken The First Blue Pill

Okay so I've finally plucked up the courage to take my first blue pill (after nearly 3 weeks of putting it off and many meals out wit friends later)

I just wondered if anyone had any examples of meal plans and what they've been eating just so I can start off on the right food and avoid any accidents early on which I'm sure will put me off completely.

Purple / Grey / Blue Fingernails ?

A few days ago i went a jog then took my dog a walk. It was raining the full time. I came back and sat for 10 minutes before changing out of my wet clothes. I noticed my fingernails went blue/grey on and off for about 10 minutes.I took ages to heat up too which is unusual for me.Last night the were more of a purple colour and quite sore/tingly at times feeling like it would feel if i tied something around my finger. Tonight they are normal colour, slightly purple at times on some nails (when you look closely for a while) and dull achy pain on my fingernails every little while. I have social anxiety so cant go to doctors.Just wondering what people think it could be.For a few days before it happens i had been feeling dizzy so i really think it is just anemia but does this sound normal if it was that? There are no medical conditions at all in my family.
