Sjogren's? Eyes Don't Produce Tears Anymore
my eyes don't produce tears anymore (haven't cried in years, don't cry when i cut an onion). my mouth is dry. i seem 2 get oral thrush when i go down on this one girl who has problems with yeast infections but as far as i know i am not HIV+. my penis is usually dry too and i need lots of lubrication or lubricated condoms for sex to be good. my knees and ankles and sometimes hips are often sore, especially in the winter, even tho i am only 25 yrs old. could i have sjogren's or some other autoimmune disorder? how could i find out or get tested or treat it?

View 1 RepliesMenstruation :: Regular Flow To No Flow Just Like That
I had unprotected sex the 23rd and got my period the 24th, 25th, and the 26th. I had a regular flow until the 26th, where my flow just stopped midday like a faucet. This has never happened to me before, my period has always decreased in flow until I've had just brown discharge. I've never gone from a regular flow to no flow just like that. I ovulated earlier in the month, the 9th. Could I have gotten pregnant?

View 8 RepliesSciatica :: Severe Pain Has Me In Tears
Typically, I am up at gone three in the morning, unable to sleep because of the discomfort I am in. OK, who am I kidding with "discomfort" here? I am in agony as usual and I feel completely alone and unsupported.
I am lying on the sofa, on my left side because I cannot bear for anything to touch my right side. My long-suffering partner is asleep in our bed – the bed I have not been able to rest in for almost six months. Every night I lie here, biting on one of my many pillows to try and stifle the screams (yes – screams; I do not exaggerate here) so that I don’t disturb him. There’s nothing he can do and he has to go to work, especially since I cannot and someone has to pay the bills.
I have lost my job, I have not been outside for four months, other than to go to see my doctor and then it’s a cab each way. I’m alone, almost every day, all day. I feel like nobody understands and I am trapped in this situation with no hope for escape and a lifetime of torment in front of me – I cannot see any light at the end of this tunnel of misery.
This pain has been going on for two years now and has built up from a nagging ache in my lower back to this indescribably intense suffering that has become unbearable.
I don’t think anyone is ‘getting’ how bad this is for me. It took months to get a diagnosis and any kind of treatment despite repeated trips to the surgery (I have only been receiving prescribed medication for two months).
I am seeing a physiotherapist and I am trying to do the gentle exercises she has given me but honestly, it’s hard. I am waiting for a MRI scan and two months in, I’m beginning to lose hope I will get one any time soon. I am on 100mg of Tramadol four times a day, 400mg of Ibuprofen four times a day between the Tramadol and 600mg of Gabapentin three times a day.
I am still in utter torture with pain running from my right buttock all the way down my leg to my big toe. I cannot sit down and, as mentioned previously, I have to lie on one side to even get a small shot at comfort. At least the excruciating calf and thigh cramps have stopped (I think the Gabapentin helped there).
But even with medication, the pain has me in tears, screaming and blinded by sweat for hours at a time. Brief moments of respite come maybe for an hour here and there but I am still acutely aware of the pain running down my lower right side all the while.
I have an appointment with my GP tomorrow. I want to tell him that my pain is so bad I would rather be dead and to please, please, please hurry up and find out why this is happening to me but, I’m not sure how to approach this without seeming hysterical.
Tight Foreskin When Fully Pulled Back And Tears
I have a bit of a problem with my foreskin as it gets tight when it have an erection and during sex sometimes splits. I never used to have this problem as it has only happened within the last year or so. I have been sexually active for about 10 years and the problem has only arisen over the last year or a bit longer. I think it was when I split it the first time during sex and then it sort of lost its ability to stretch as much as it used to. Sometimes it's fine once it heals but then after a long sex session it just starts getting weak and tearing again. I can see it might just be the ring that needs a bit of stretching but I'm not sure.
View 1 RepliesEyes :: Geometric Shape Patterns Appearing In Both Eyes
Small but geometric -ish shape. This changes in 1/2 hour or more, the shape gets larger forming a getting larger approximate 'C' shape to the left of center. It is almost like me seeing a crude kaleidoscope . Eventually the thing disappears to the left. The shape seems to be of small triangles squares, anything 'sort of' geometric. I can see past it but still have to see the shape. Whichever eye I close I can still see it; close both I can see it! It has now cleared completely as I have not being looking at the sun or any strong light. Is it 'just one of those things' to be tolerated every now and then. I am 75 and in general good health
View 4 RepliesEyes :: Floaters PVD - Peripheral Vascular Disease Both Eyes
I'm late 5s,have had floaters since my 20s,back then they were small black or clear dots,fast forward,late fifties,now i've had pvds in both eyes,vitreous gel shrinks and pulls away from the back of the eye,now i have these clear to gauzy larger floaters,plus one large clumpy black one and I can't ignore them anymore. PVD is age related. I am just lucky enough to have these awful larger ones that can blur and obstruct vision. How does a person deal with it. Oh yes I also am starting to have dry eyes. Both also can cause hazy vision. Unless you've experienced it,no one else can relate

View 2 RepliesEyes :: Squint And Itchy Eyes
I have this squint since childhood. My eyes move outward. It happens a lot when I'm tired or try to look quickly at something, It was diagnosed early and I was asked to do a regular exercise with pencil. I had to Keep pencil in front of my nose and look at it and then slowly move the pencil forward and repeat it several times. The later I was given glasses and it improved it a little but then again it got as it was earlier. My vision is 6 by 6. But its just I don't have proper control over the muscles. They seem to be aligned but when I'm tired or move eyes they go outward. I wanted to know how it can be permanently corrected. It just disturbs me and I always feel a stress on my eyes. I have this irritation over eyes too and itching which makes it even worse. How it can be treated or it can be operated? I guess it would be easier with operation and I would go for it but I was asked to do exercise and told that it will stay but will get better, It was 30 degrees.
View 1 RepliesAsthma :: My Peak Flow Best Is 400
My peak flow best is 400, and normally is around 300 plus or minus 10-20 points. Ever since I walked through a cloud of cigarette smoke yesterday, it's hovering in the low range, although not quite to the red zone. And of course, it tends to get worse at night, after office hours. Don't really want to keep hitting the rescue inhaler as much as I have. Do you think if I wait it out it will gradually get back to a normal range, or should I break down and seek medical attention tomorrow? Still trying to learn how to manage asthma and what my personal limits are. Thanks!

So my periods are normally heavy (have to use an overnight pad during the day). Well this "period" I'm on now started like a week early and is super light. Or it was for the first three days.

View 1 RepliesWill Flomax Help My Precum Flow To Stop?
I precum when aroused. I am tired of precum. It makes me very insecure about receiving oral sex because I fear that a partner will reject me. I am a disease-free single man but 7 out of 10 times I do encounter someone that doesn't like it. I've read that one of the Flomax side effects is a decrease in semen. I am not going to have any children so I don't really care about semen. After 20 years of being sexually active, I want to finally enjoy oral sex without the worry of constant dripping. Will Flomax help my precum flow to stop?
