Trimethoprim Reaction :: Nasty Red Rash And Sore Throat
I was prescribed this yesterday (UTI) and didn't think anything of it as I've never had a problem with antibiotics before. Oh dear, within about 6 hours, I was feeling very hot and itchy. I was covered head to foot in a nasty red (looked like sunburn), angry rash, had a sore throat and felt fluey. Didn't feel sick though, which is unusual for me as I have a very sensitive digestive system.
Called my GP this morning who told me to STOP taking it immediately (only taken 2 of a 6 tablet course). I'm hoping this reaction will subside now I've stopped taking it but reading the comments hear, it sounds as if it can take a while To top it all, I'm now going to have to take another antibiotic and the UTI is no better.
Pregnancy :: Anyone Developed Lactose Intolerance
Has anyone developed lactose intolerance while pregnant? And did your baby have it after being born? My husband has always been lactose intolerant and just recently I've become the same way and wondered if it was actually the baby's way of making me avoid it..
View 1 RepliesFrozen Shoulder :: Anyone Developed Migraines?
Ok, has anyone developed migraines with FS? After my cortisone shot fiasco a few weeks ago, I have been having awful headaches. I have never had migraines before, and had one yesterday. Called the doc and she wanted me to go to ER, but I frankly could not drive and no one was home. Finally just fell asleep (somehow). I feel so off today. Will call doc in a bit, but wow, really do we need to add more to FS? At least it took the focus off the pain in my shoulder and arm! LOL
I have never had a headache that bad in my life. Maybe it was something from the Kelalog 40 they injected in my joint, I did have an allergic reaction to the iodine or something and ended up in ER same day as the injection a few weeks ago. Is this a normal thing the, the nasty headaches.. that rest of you have experienced?
Mind you, I have no curve in my neck right now (doc said due to the severe pain I am in) and the headache yesterday was from my shoulder, up my neck to the back of my head.
Mental Conditions :: OCD Developed After Puberty?
I recently noticed that some mild OCD I developed before entering high school has gotten worse. While it used to be compulsive list-making about memories it has turned into touching things/thinking things/blinking/breathing/walking either two or four times. If I touch something on one side, I have to touch it on the other. Many rituals have to do with time, and sometimes if I'm reading a page it's more about completing a symmetry task than actually reading. Memories are "things" which can be visualized like I'm currently living in them. This gets worse during times of high stress.
My question is, why did this develop when I was fourteen? I was always a bit sensitive to certain sounds and dirty surfaces, but those mild obsessions are NOTHING like what I experience now. I assume that every ritual is a stress-relief technique and that since my mind's always racing, my brain feels a need to organize things. But I'm not an organized person, and when I'm feeling low, I almost never complete my work. I can obsess over certain past actions for hours and analyze situations to the point where I'm practically making up other people's reactions or pretending I'm inside their head.
STDs :: Prostatitis Developed After Gonorrhea
Few years ago, i was diagnosed with gonorrhea and I was left untreated for 1.5 months.
Later, my symptom of gonorrhea has gone. However, symptoms of prostatitis developed and lasted till now (its almost
3 years). I have taken so many antibiotics for a year. But finally they seemed useless to my pain of prostatitis (so i quit it). Now the symptoms are mild. But it really bothers me. I have thought to suicide, because I think i am still contagious of STD. I am afraid gonorrhea is hiding in my prostate, causing prostatitis.
I have done so many tests (PCR of semen, prostatic fluid). They came back neg. However, I wonder if these tests are false neg (because the false neg reports made me left untreated my problem of gonorrhea. I am afraid i would pass STD to my gf...I am afraid i could not father a child..these problems annoy me so much..Sometimes i would think its better to die rather than suffer..can someone professional or experienced help me?

I am a woman of 42 very energetic but one morning I woke up with the most severe pain in my right shoulder and pain down my arm I started crying because I was scared my husband told me to get an ambulance but I said I would be ok, I got dressed for work I dropped the twins off at school then went to work, I walked down to the hospital that is where I work and my boss took one look at me and told me to get to a&e, I went for the x ray then was taken straight to HDU and they told me my lung had collapsed and they needed to put a tube in god I have never felt pain like it, I cried and screamed all the way through, after that I was put on the ward and 6 days later it had not healed up there was a hole in it so they had to transfer me to leeds where I could have the operation done, I had a tiny bit of my lung removed and it was stuck on to my chest wall with irritant powder it helps the lung stick better, when I came to after the operation I was in so much pain and the tablets were not helping they were trying all sorts to get it right, I have been home nearly two weeks and the pain is still there but not has bad its more my ribs and across my stomach and that is what is worrying me and the chance that I might have to have it done again and also there is a 40% chance it can happen to my left lung, I am so scared to do anything in case it happens again, but I am glad I had it done, but it goes to show it can happen to anyone.

please put a : and a / where the smiley face is there please as when I put those 2 together in the address it automatically comes up as a smiley face.
They are scattered all over my back it looks horrible Is there some sort of spot/ spot scar process that will remove or help fade these nasty looking things? and please don't recommend some oil or cream treatment crap as I tried those on spots elsewhere a couple of years back and they did nothing. And no they won't fade because I have had these on my back for 7 years now. I don't know what the hell started it it seemed to stem from a vacation in Greece. I not even sure if this is acne or just an outbreak of spots that ended up scarring somehow. I not sure where this topic should had gone by the way either I could not find acne or spots forum.
Cannabis :: Developed An Anxiety Disorder From Smoking Weed
I am 18 years old and I think I have developed an anxiety disorder from smoking weed. I had 2 small puffs of weed from when I was in my early eighteens and I got a bit high but not much at all. I was with some good friends and the effects of being high wore off. When I joined University I smoked less than half a blunt with my new friends because it was late, I couldn’t go home and it was the only thing they were doing. I had this bad anxiety attack when I was shaking, my throat was dry and I was tired. I could tell this was a bad panic attack and I felt like I was fighting for my life. I had to go to sleep to calm myself down. The next day I felt fine, I had a shower and continued with my life. A month later, I was with two of my mates and they bought a bit of weed. I had two puffs of it to regulate the amount in my mates University room and tried to remain as calm as possible to avoid a panic attack. It worked and we went to a night club. The next day I felt a bit anxious. The day after I went to my friend’s university corridor and knocked on it to let me. However, I smelt a tiny bit of weed through the door and I started to panic again. I had to lie on my bed and I missed two days of lectures. I was having fast heart palpitations, I was shaking and I couldn’t stop worrying about weed. Every time I am in a stressful moment such as getting to lectures on time makes me slightly panicky and have moments when I can feel in my head an adrenaline rush which is how the panic attacks start. I had a panic attack in one lecture while sober and I thought to myself that when I learnt my lesson not to go near weed it was too late. I have become more anti-social because I feel too anxious to be around the friends I have smoked a bit of weed with. It took 3 weeks for my panic attacks to go but my heart feels it beats a bit faster than usual. I also have this ache in my chest. I went to my GP and he said it was not due to the weed because I did very little and it was due to stress and anxiety. When I do University work and I stress a bit more my heart starts to palpitate and I don’t know how to calm myself down. Every day I have this feeling of anxiety all over my body. The weed couldn't have been laced with other drugs because my mates would have seen it was.
I worry about hearing weed and I have this big anxiety attack when I smell it which makes me not want to do anything. Has the weed damaged my body in any way? I know quite a few people who have smoked weed and they are fine. I became sick once because I smelt weed. Will my brain ever repair itself to make me feel normal again without this big anxiety attack and chest ache? I guess too much of anything is bad for you but for me, that is not the case and I hate how I feel every day.
Dental :: Wisdom Tooth - Pocket Developed On Gum Line
I have one partially erupted wisdom tooth on the upper left side. None of the others have erupted. It has the flap over the back half that hasn't erupted. I had worked very hard to keep it cleaned out as it didn't become painful when it stayed clear of debris. Now I no longer have to worry about the flap, but a pocket that has developed on the outside of my gum line in the tissue next to the tooth. As if where the cheek connects with the top of the gum line. It is quite painful and produces a foul taste in my mouth, especially in the morning. Has anyone had this happen before? What is it and what should I do?

Is there anyone out there who is taking the anti-hypertensive Perindopril [ACE Inhibitor] and has developed Pulsatile Tinnitus as a side effect? I take this drug and do not have any side effects only that last February I was diagnosed with slight hearing loss for which I was given hearing aids and had Pulsatile Tinnitus which sent me rapidly to the G.P. from where I was referred to the ENT dept. at the hospital. I've had a MRI brain scan, Intercranial CT scan and Doppler scan on my neck in the Vascular Dept. where I saw a consultant. He told me there was nothing wrong in my brain or my ears but he couldn't help my problem as it is very rare and he hadn't seen a similar case for 17yrs. He said maybe my brain will eventually get fed up of listening to my heart beat swishing through my left ear. Has anyone experienced the same?
