For the last 3 days I have had a horrible headache, it's one of those you wake up with it headache behind the eyes and forehead. And gradually it will wave in between a little better then by the end of the night it is borderline migraine nausea, sensitivity to lights and sound. Today was the worst and I went to bed crying because it hurt so bad, I also noticed if I'm laying down I'm fine but AS soon as I sit and stand up there is a rush of pain right back to my forehead. I've read varying things that could cause this,and if it matters I will admit I haven't been eating a lot the last couples days, and I'm almost positive I'm low on iron. But any advice or tips to help would be wonderful I do have an obgyn appointment Thursday so I will ask her about it as well.
View 5 RepliesPregnancy :: Severe Sciatica Pain
I had this problem with my first pregnancy from about week 14 until like week 20, and then off and on from there.
We'll it's back with a vengeance, it's killing me. It doesn't matter if I'm sitting, standing, walking. I'll move just right and I'm almost either in tears or afraid to move because the pain is so bad. I have a 14 month old and trying to chase after her or carrying her is becoming extremely difficult. I'm afraid I'll drop her.
My doctor didn't have many suggestions for relief. We just moved and I have no idea where my heating pad is.
Any ladies experience this and what did yall do to help alleviate the pain
Why You Need To Treat Hemorrhoids
This post is simply me sharing my story so other people may not make the same mistake as I did. I am a 27 y/o male. I first noticed hemorrhoid issues when I was 20, just an occasional flare up for a week or 2 out of the year, no big deal. Each year it continued to flare up more and more. Until for the past year or so every time I would have a bowel movement there would be bleeding sometimes just a couple drops in the water sometimes blood sprayed all over. Still I did not seek treatment besides trying not to strain. Then an unrelated health issue sent me to my Doc, in the course of this he did all the blood tests known to man I think. My consistent bleeding for over a year had made me anemic with a hemoglobin of only 8.3, two weeks later hemoglobin of 8.0 and an extremely low testosterone level as well which was caused by the chronic anemia. The hematologist had me immediately scheduled for an appointment with a surgeon. Endoscopy, Colonoscopy, and a Banding. The banding at first didn't seem to bad, luckily I was knocked out for the colonoscopy so I wasn't awake for the banding. However, the next week was constant pain, and the first two days were nearly unbearable. I've never had a problem with hemorrhoids that seem to remain outside the body until after this procedure not sure if the banding or colonoscopy could have worsened that condition. However 2 weeks after the banding I still have hemorrhoids and the symptoms were worse than ever: pain, itching, burning. Well I had already decided unless the bleeding was extreme again I WOULD NOT go back for another dr visit. I tried sitz bath (which for me over the years have always seemed to provide quick relief BUT then cause worse inflammation in a few hours). I tried ACV on cotton balls, painful and after a week didn't notice any improvement. During this entire time I had also converted to a high fiber diet. After the ACV I continued high fiber diet, using a stacker to put my feet on when I'm having a bowel movement, and using tucks witch hazel in the morning and before bed. With those I finally am symptom free. However, I am going to keep doing these thing forever because it seems to me that hemorrhoids, once they get out of control, will never go away completely. You just have to treat them and manage them and you will remain symptom free but if you go back to the same old habits. They will come back same as before. I am still on an iron supplement and taking testosterone shots as well.

How To Treat Clitoral Pain After Rubbing?
I was just rubbing my girlfriend down there, and my hands weren't probably completely clean (I haven't really done anything like this before). I was mainly stimulating the clitoris, at times using her wetness to lube her up. She didn't seem to mind and at that time, she wasn't in pain or anything, in fact according to her she was enjoying it. After going back home though, she felt that the area around her clit became really sore and that it hurts horribly while trying to pee. It also itched when soap touched the area while trying to take a shower. It feels uncomfortable in general, and aches when trying to move. Most importantly, she says she has discovered some sort of a 'hole' beside her clitoris, which does not look like a scar, but is red. This has freaked us out both, and although I haven't seen the condition myself, I can't describe it more precisely. She says it's like the type of 'fold' we get when we apply pressure on our skin with the nails, except that it's round, tiny and deeper. She is also having pain in her tummy (in fact this happens when she masturbates too much) which makes it all the more worse. She is really mad at me and I know I have done something careless (especially when it is the first time we have been doing something like this), and I probably don't even deserve to be her boyfriend, but I feel really guilty and I want to help her in every way possible but I don't really know what to do about it. She hasn't spoken to anyone about it yet although she is suffering and all I care about now is that this condition goes away as soon as possible. She is not ready to go the gynecologist because she is too ashamed to talk about it as she is from a conservative family.
View 5 RepliesThyroid Meds To Treat Fibromyalgia?
I went to a new rheumy who specializes in fibro. He spent an hour with me my first visit. I really like him. He typically treats many people with synthroid for fibro because he feels we really have a hypothyroid even though our numbers are good. i do have many symptoms of thyroid, always cold, used to have constipation, dry skin and eyes, heavy periods, etc
He called in a script for synthroid name brand for me, I haven't picked it up yet I guess I am nervous to try it.
He did do my bloodwork, TSh was in guidelines, free T 4 and T3 were in range but at 50% of the range.
Atrophic Vaginitis :: Use Of Vagifem To Treat VA?
I saw my doctor last week and she said she had just been to a menopause seminar where the continual use of vagifem was discussed to treat VA. She said that there have not been any long term effects and that patients could use it twice a week for an indefinite time.
She also said that if a patient stopped taking it the recurrence of VA could be severe and much harder to treat going forward.
I asked about the Mona Lisa laser treatment but she had not heard of this.
Internal Hemorrhoids :: Doctor Cannot Feel?
My sister is 60 years old and is experiencing amounts of blood in her stool lately . She suspects that it is internal hemorrhoids (she had similar condition approx. 3 years ago.) She went to the doctor who examined her and told her that she could not feel any internal hemorrhoids but gave her suppositories and told her to return in two weeks time for another look. My sister has no other symptoms, no pain except for some itching after she goes to poop and no changes in bowel habits, appetite etc. My question is therefore, is it possible for someone to have internal hemorrhoids that a doctor cannot feel?

I was wondering how long you all suffered before the doctors referred you. To a specialist or for surgery?
I've been suffering with an external prolapsed hemorrhoid for two weeks now. I'm in agony all day and the pain wakes me up at night.
due to other health conditions i need my sleep and no stress as it makes it worse. So i feel at the minute that i can't cope.
i've been to the doctor three times but they said they wouldn't even consider the next option until it's been "months and months"
i've been given anusol cream and suppository.

Is anybody else afraid of going to the doctor? Adding up my medical visits in 2016, I've had eleven appointments, including testing and lab work, plus my surgery last month. Today, I have to see my GI Doctor and will have a colonoscopy at the end of June. There will not have been a single month in the first six months of this year that I haven't seen a doctor. I feel overwhelmed by it. I always expect the worst now, having gone through so much in a short period of time. I have started exercising again and am working gradually on getting in better shape and wish that would help the anxiety some. I dread seeing doctors now.
