I've had random gallbladder pain, but after multiple ultrasounds and a HIDA scan, there's nothing showing... No stones, no nothing. Do you know about sphincter of Oddi dysfunction? That's what they...
Does it worsen during specific times of your cycle (if you still have one)? It may be endometriosis... Which is what I have, along with an ovarian cyst over 5 cm. Last month I passed out after what...
BFogg - I second what Barbara Lee said... Definitely sounds like your gallbladder. I've had issues now for two years, two ultra sounds, and one HIDA scan just to prove it's working fine and dandy (no...
Topamax didn't agree with me and after 5 - 6 months I discontinued use. I had never felt so sluggish in my life, and my fingers and face tingled all the time. On the other hand, there are folks who...
Them skeeters love me. When bit, I get welts and bruise - sometimes lasting a week or two. And it doesn't matter if I'm wearing jeans or bug spray. They get me anyway....
Unfortunately I have a high tolerance for pain, and I'm hard-headed, so I typically work through the pain. I have an office in the back where I can close the door, turn the fan on full-blast, and...
Oh Lupie {{{hugs}}} I'm sure everyone will agree this forum is the perfect place to vent, so vent away! And please do tell your doctor everything. Write it down so you don't forget or omit something....
Acquiesce - Now that I think about it, I remember thinking HOLY SMOKES my back HURTS in the kidney area but dismissed it as pain/pulling something from that muddy obstacle course I subjected myself...
Thank you everyone. The pill never has really worked for me. And I also have endo. I'm doing better every day. Just taking it easy....
I feel your pain; I am recovering from an ovarian cyst that ruptured last week, and I have another still clinging to my right ovary. I was ignoring my body beacon signals and wound up passing out in...
Oh my, where do I begin? (and I am not sure if this is Lupus related or not - not diagnosed, but y'all are great!) Saturday, June 7th I competed in a 2k mud run. I did okay, I guess. It was pretty...
Oh my... I'm sorry to hear about the passing of Grady, but I'm sure he's comforting you when you least expect it. Sounds like you need a picnic basket near the bed with goodies! And a good book, or...
I remember flying as a little girl and *screaming* because the pain was horrific. The nice flight attendant gave me the cups with wet napkins and it helped so much. I've had numerous ear infections,...
*ahem* There are several dispensaries within 1,000 feet of my office. However; it's against company policy to partake in the legalness of marijuana. We were joking here a few hours ago that I'd be...
The HIDA scan showed everything was normal - I guess... and that's the weird thing. The gallbladder acts up whenever it wants regardless of ice cream, eggs, butter, Oreo cookies, milk, booze, spicy...
After Googling Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome I am just *wow*... I had no idea that hypermobility could be related to autoimmune diseases and I currently have been having issues with a few things. I always...
Joie - I tell ya what... I should have paid more attention then, too. All they said was to stay out of the cold and at 12, almost 13, I didn't care about much except I didn't want my friends to see...
Thank you, Lynnwood... I sure hope so! Even if it's not lupus, someone with insight would be beneficial....
Good Morning, I've been a lurker for years... mainly in the migraine forum, but most recently here. In 1992 (I was 12) my body freaked out one summer afternoon at the lake. I jumped into the water to...
I'm curious to see what answers folks have. Several times I've swollen up due to heat. One time in particular was a vacation when we drove from Gilroy, CA through Death Valley to Las Vegas. I got so...
I've never heard of Sundrop! I must google it now *scampers off to google*... I thought I'd mentioned it before briefly in the past, but I don't think anyone gave it much thought. Of course I was a...
Thank you Jeanneac for responding. I think I forgot to mention the MAJOR fatigue. I always contributed it to the Zoloft. I could sleep and sleep and not feel rested. Now I'm on Wellbutrin. I still...
I stumbled upon this forum and have been actively reading posts all day. Recently I contacted my pediatrician's office to aquire a copy of my medical records from 1993. At that time I was visiting my...
