Contraception :: Pill Causing Blocked Nose
i've been taking the contraceptive pill for 3 months and about a week after starting, I found my nose was getting blocked. It's still like this. I've been to see my nurse who says it's unlikely that the pill is causing this, though looking at the NHS website it states that the pill does cause this. Assuming this is the cause, is swapping to a different pill likely to make any difference or do I just need to live with it while I take the pill? And is it even safe to continue with this Pill if it's causing my nose to swell up like this?
View 1 RepliesInfluenza :: Flu Jab Reaction - Constant Runny / Blocked Nose
i had the flu jab about 6 weeks ago (free from work, not for medical issues). Since then I have had either a constant runny nose or a completely blocked up nose. I've tried cold remedies which, surprise, haven't worked. I don't suffer from hay fever or any other allergies so could this be a reaction to the flu jab? I don't want to be like this for xmas!
View 3 RepliesNasal Allergy, Polyps - Alternate Runny / Blocked Nose
I have suffered with all year round hay fever / allergy symptoms for over decade. I have had several operations and procedures .. turbinate widening, polyp removal, bones straightened .. some repeated efforts to no real avail ...
The side effect has been that my sense of smell is non existent .. I just put up with the alternate runny / blocked nose etc etc
The one development of late has been strange, when in the shower I often clear my nose rather robustly as its the best way to blow in an unrestrained manner .. I have now noticed that I suddenly get a very sweet flowery taste / smell when i do this .. My daughter jokes that its brain fluid .. hopefully not.
Anyone with any ideas as to what it might be?

I am 43 years old and I have been on my period for the last 10 days. I haven't been in any extreme pain as far as cramping goes no more than normal. But I've had periods of real heavy bleeding and some pretty big clots. Is it the onset of menopause or is something major going on.
View 1 RepliesDepo-provera :: Back Pain And Onset Of Osteoprosis
I have been on depo provera (birth control shot) for about 2 years now. You get a shot every three months and that's pretty much the only thing you have to keep up with. Well I finally went to the doctor about my horrible back pain that I had been experiencing for about a year. He told me that the reason for my back pain was because of the shot! he said he was treating more and more women for back problems because the depo shot causes osteoporosis by completely shutting down your estrogen levels!!! he told me "basically you're like a 65 year old woman who could shatter her hip if you fell" he told me to get off right away. I am 19 and am diagnosed with onset osteoporosis because of the shot. The doctor said I can reverse some of the damage but not all. has anyone else had experiences with the shot?
View 1 RepliesParkinson Onset? Twitch Between Thumb And Index Finger
I am 35 and I am experiencing a constant twitch between my left thumb and index finger. I thought maybe I had done something to pinch a nerve but it's been going on for a month now. It's driving me crazy. It's like my thumb is getting this signal to clench and it happens constantly when I am not using my thumb. It's completely involuntary.
Could this be caused by some sort of nerve damage, or is this a sign of something more serious like early onset Parkinson's disease?
Nose Polyps One Side Of Nose
I get a nose polyp more on one side of nose than the other, also the ear on that side also has a lot more problems with blockages and pain and whatever. Researching online I saw some posts saying that it is unusual for it to be more one side than the other and can be cancer! Now am worried sick. Please tell me your thoughts but please don't say stuff like go to the doctor.

View 1 RepliesTrying To Conceive :: Blocked Tube
I have one blocked tube ( my right one ) which my doctor thinks is due to having a ruptured appendix. I have been to fertility clinic today and the doc has put me on the waiting list for a lap to remove the right blocked tube. I am not sure how this will help? I have never fallen pregnant and I have been trying for 3 years ? Why would removing the blocked tube help? I cannot receive IVF as my partner already has a child with his ex, so apparently that means i'm not entitled. I really need some answers i'm really pulling my hair out and I am so frustrated.

I have LPR and have noticed lately that I have a sensation of blocked ears, well actually just one ear, but it alternates. I have had them checked and there's no wax of blockage. I have read on the forum that LPR can cause blocked ears but does anyone have any recommendations of how to clear them ?
I drink alkaline water, eat the correct foods, knock Gaviscon Advance back like it's going out if fashion( which does help), but I have just noticed the ear blockage.
Child Has Constant Blocked Ears And Popping
Wondered if anyone can give me any advice. my 9 year old says that his ears have never cleared after a long haul flight over a year ago. he says that when they pop he hears clearly for a bit then they block back up again. he says that he feels like he's underwater and sometimes gets dizzy, he can also hear them crunching when he moves jaw. i've taken him to the doctors and she looked in ears and said they were both clear and that was that. so no solution ....

View 1 RepliesNeurological - Foggy And Blocked / Fatigue / Drowsiness?
Since this June I have been to so many places from my physician’s office to the ER and everywhere in-between. Nobody can find what's wrong with me. I’ve had two neurologists give up on me and one who (after running a bunch of tests) say I have anxious tendencies. I had every test possible ran on me and they all came back normal. Actually on paper I’m as healthy as can be. That's the problem, all my test results are perfect so people think there’s nothing wrong. It’s hard to explain what I feel like. My thoughts feel foggy and blocked, I’ve become very forgetful and academically I’m struggling. That is only the mental portion unfortunately. Physically I have muscle cramps, fatigue/drowsiness, disorientation, trembling, tingling, and clumsy-ness. I’ve had a spinal tap, loads of blood tests, two EEGs, MRIs, and been evaluated by six different doctors. Every blood test you could think of has been ran on me. Including heavy metals, vitamin b-12, Lymes, lupus, hormones, blood sugar… there are loads more but I can’t remember them all. I’m worried most about the cognitive aspect of my problem. Its very debilitating. Some days are better than others, and some are worse. Today was one of the bad days. I can’t stay focused or have clear thoughts. When I talk I don’t make much sense. I say words that don’t fit into context, have a very hard time finding words, and as a result, can’t keep up a conversation very well. I try my hardest to overcome these problems but I don’t think its a matter of how much effort I put forth. Some days I just can not think straight. I even have problems understanding what people say to me. I understand the words, but the meaning of what’s said just doesn’t get through. Like I said, some days are better than others. The memory isn’t isolated to only short-term or the forming of new memories. I have a hard time remembering things that happened long ago as well as what happened five minutes ago. The things I remember are fragments and very inconsistent. I was stating to think that my problem could be low magnesium or something like that which was overlooked. From my understanding of a mangesium deficiency. It takes a long time for you to become deficient. This makes sense because this problem didn’t just stat overnight, I’ve actually been having this problem since February. I’ve been blowing off the symptoms as lack of sleep or just being tired but it built up to the point that I realized something was truly wrong. So magnesium might make sense, maybe. I’m just guessing at this point though.
So, what do you think? If you have any ideas what the problem could be please let me know. As I said before, I’ve had my heavy metals, Lymes, hormones, vitamin b-12, lupus, csf (spinal tap), and blood sugar checked. I’ve also had a complete metabolic panel ran, a complete hormonal panel, and complete nutritional panel checked. I think an allergist might be a good idea but I’m not sure. I guess its worth a shot.
Here’s some info about me. I’m 17 years old, male, 5’9’’ and weigh 128 LBs. The problem is constant 24/7, never goes away.
Haloperidol Blocked Dopamine Receptors Of The Brain Permanently?
I once got an injection of Haloperidol at E.R. I heard it blocks dopamine receptors of the brain. Is this blockage permanent after one shot?
I dopamine deficiency symptoms. My condition is:
I have no issues concentrating, I can focus for at least 16 hours a day and I don't even notice if the sun goes down along the way, I can't be distracted, unless I chose to leave my task
I remember everything I learned, be it source codes letter by letter and in big mass (60 pages of handout)
My dexterity and balance serves me well
I am unable to get excited, I'm never satisfied with what I do. At first maybe a bit then I think its not that good.
I have issues falling asleep when I start thinking about my projects, on how to do them.
I can't really express emotions, I have a neutral state and when I'm worried
I'm antisocial, I only care about getting better at what I do.
I had this condition in all my life, I'm just worried if the injection caused any lasting impact on my brain.
