Chronic Fatigue Syndrome :: Horrible Headaches Standing For Long Time
I was wondering if anyone else has this problem. If I stand for a long time or sit in a chair without head support, I end up with a horrible headache. But if I can lie down or sit in a chair with head support so that I'm not having to carry the weight of my head, I don't get headaches. Anyone else?

View 1 RepliesMigraine :: Migraine Attacks Are Back / Menopause
I never suffered from migraine attacks until I was in my mid-40's.
They seemed to be linked to the beginning of hormonal changes related to the start of menopause. I would get a pain over my left eye (usually, though right occasionally), with a feeling of nausea and sometimes slight numb feeling on the side of my face. I would turn quite a pale white colour, and also feel very tired, yawning a lot. I would take medication, migraleve tablets and lay down in a darkened room. Usually, I would recover within 24 hours, though I would feel 'worn out' for a few days after the attack.
Since I have discovered by self analysis, that citrus fruits, especially orange juice (which I no longer drink), chocolate and strong coffee all seem to be triggers, which I try to avoid.
For the last five years, I have been clear of migraines, but have now started to get them again. I have passed the menopause but have had a lot of stress in my life recently, so I wonder if this is the cause of the recurrence? My last attack was quite different from the others I have experienced, in that I was feeling fine (though had been really tired the day before for no apparent reason) when I suddenly developed black zigzag lines across my left eye (very frightening at first). These went on for about 10 minutes and then slowly I developed a severe migraine, though this was not over one particular eye, but both. I had feelings of nausea and also felt cold at times. I took Migraleve pink and yellow but the headache is still persisting the next day. I wonder why I developed these other symptoms of visual disturbance. Can stress really do this to your body?!
PS I know there is a family history of migraine.
Classic Migraine Changed To Silent Migraine In 30's
I had classic migraines through my teenage years which stopped for a couple of years before continuing at on average one every couple of months with the odd instance of a back to back cluster of 3-10 at once. They were always the same 20 minute aura then axe in the head pain and repeated vomiting for 6 hours followed by a 24hr hangover. Over the years I have tried all preventers with only Epilim and Topiramate working for 18 months. I built up tolerance to Epilim and Topiramate gave me side effects that ended in a blood disorder so cannot take either any more. Beta blockers and antidepressants never worked and Lisinopril was also a short lived waste of time. The only triptan that ever worked was Maxalt rizatriptan but again it lost its effect after 6 months. Something weird has now happened and I wonder if others have had this? I am now 36 and in the last 6 months my migraines have totally changed. I still get the aura but if I take Express Nurofen and an anti sickness tablet straight away or use a heat pack on the back of the neck no pain or sickness comes just 6 hours of extreme tiredness. I always used to throw up any tablets so this is a miracle however the frequency has stepped up to between 5 and 20 a month so it is really impacting on my life. I have had an MRI and all is normal. I have also tried supplements and alternative therapies with no success. Botox and nerve blockers are the next suggestion but will they treat this scenario if there is no pain? Will it stop the aura too and prevent the whole episode? Help!

Why is it that I can have such a hard time starting a stream when visiting the toilet during the night (after having been asleep for several hours) and have little problem during the daytime when awake and alert? As I see it this has less to do with BPH than with mind/body connections.

View 7 RepliesHorrible Muscle Spasm In My Back
I have horrible muscle spasms in my back, sometimes they seem like cramps though. I turned 18 about a month ago, will a doctor prescribe me a muscle relaxer for this? Is there a different class of medication to look into that might be more effective? My dad recommended baclofen. I have read about some health complications using this though. Not asking how to get a RX. WILL they write me one or blow me off as an 18 year old drug seeker, and WILL it help (possibly). I've done trigger point injections, deep tissue PT for years and nothing helps. The problem comes back like a week after stopping and my insurance only covers x appointments. My therapist noticed my ribs keep elevating up and need popped back in place. This may be due to muscle spasms? I'm just tired. Tired of pain, doctors not doing anything, and nothing changing.
View 2 RepliesCannabis :: Horrible Day After Smoking Weed
I'm 21 years old and yesterday (sept. 28) was my first time I smoked weed and I took 4 puffs of it with two other friends. I had this horrible trip and really do not want to ever smoke weed ever again. It was scary and I felt like I was really going to die. I went to sleep and had my full 8 hours of sleep and woke today (sept. 29) feeling better, but I still feel strange. I can hardly concentrate. I'm experiencing paranoia and anxiety and according to some posts, I guess it's from the THC level intake. I probably have low tolerance since It's my first time smoking it. I'm really scared that whatever it is I'm feeling or going through is permanent. Should I call the hospital? Will I be charged with marijuana use?

I shower everyday or every other day, and my vagina smells like 1 day old urine, or lard. I am so embarrassed to say the least. I have tried Vaginal washes, Douching, just water, and nothing seems to get rid of this horrible smell.

View 4 RepliesHeadache :: Horrible Head Pain - Slight Changes In C5 And C6
I have been experiencing horrible head pain for the past 6 months. I've been to a neurologist and had multiple tests (MRI's/CT scans) performed and everything has come back normal. The only thing that has come up has been "lordosis" in my neck and "slight changes in C5 and C6" in my neck. My headaches started back in May when I was moving out of my apartment and seemed to have strained myself. I have been going to a PT and that has not helped. Additionally, I have had 2 nerve blocks, trigger point injections, and dry needling, none of which have helped. I am scheduled to get botox injections in my neck and lower head to hopefully help. Additionally, I am going to a neck/spine specialist. Both happening next week. Can anyone relate to the pain that I have been having? My pain seems to start in my neck and travel all over my head, on one side of head to the other, behind eyes, behind ears, etc. It feels like a stinging, uncomfortable pain. Someone please help, give suggestions, relate to me!! Feeling desperate and feeling like my head will never get better.

I have a rotten potato smell coming from my vagina. I have been treated for bacteria vaginosis for over a year now, on and off. The smell is back almost immediately. I had a pelvic pig skin graft put in 4 years ago. I am thinking the pig was alive when implanted and has now died inside of me. Seriously the smell is horrible and my life is ruined. If there's no cure or help then my life is over. No women wants to live like this. Time will tell. My mental stability right now is at wits end. I am so done with life if this smell doesn't go away
