Thanks for the responses. I've been to cardiologist and aside from irregular heartbeat/PVC's things seem to be fine. The pain is more through my breast area and in the back lower shoulder blade. I...
Thanks! I was comforted to see a positive note about Reglan. I have a script but have been too scared to pick it up from the pharmacy after I read several negative things / side effects about it. I...
Hi all - I've been on the IBS, MS and Fibro forums and now I'm here. I have suffered from IBS for a few years now and always had some heartburn now and then. Nothing major, just annoying. Now, I have...
My GI dr gave me a lot of samples of the Flora - Q so I dont' have to buy it just yet - thankfully /community/emoticons/smile.gif Last time I did go to health food store and bought a similar product...
Thanks for the info. I've been taking Prevacid 1x daily and just increased to 2x. That could be the reason for nausea but it's really not that bad - it's tolerable. I am going to go back to Levbid...
I have some Pamine Forte which I've never taken and maybe will consider taking that instead of the Reglan....
Wow - there are some horrifying stories on that website....
Thanks...
Does anyone have any negative side effects when taking Reglan besides sleepiness? I'm going to start tomorrow and honestly, am wary because of all the side effects I've read about . tHANKS...
Has anyone tried Flora- Q ?...
I am in limbo, but expereinced the "hug like" sensation around my waist about 9 years ago and it lasted about a month I occasionally feel the same thing around my neck....
I've experienced eye twitches from time to time and assumed it was normal as a lot of people I know experience them, whether they have MS or not. Recently, though, for about the past 3 weeks, my...
Mystic, I suffer from migraines and have since I was about 10 (when i started my menstrual cycle). I can tell you that numbness in the limbs, especially hands and fingers and at times, parts of the...
Still not DX'd but I cant' say that I have hearing loss, but I can relate to the loud. crowded setting. I find myself "reading lips" to get a grasp on a one on one conversation where there is a lot...
Lynn, It wouldn't hurt to get it checked out. I hope you find some relief from you pain. Take care Pam...
Well, the nevus (mole) does not appear to be malignant so that is good news. The dr said that it is very large so we need to keep watch. I have to go back twice a year to see him for 2 years and then...
I'm also kind of worried now about this "visual static" that I see. I think I saw something about visual snow but couldn't find it. I only see it when I look at something white or very dark and it's...
Lynn, No, you can't see it - it's actually inside my eyeball. YUCK! I've been doing some research and it's just like a freckle or mole on your skin, which if not observed for any changes, may turn...
In a nutshell, eye pain sucks. I've had it off and on for a few years and have gone to optometrist who said I did not have optic neuritis. Last week, due to increasing "floaters" and some type of...
Sorry to hear that you're not feeling well = I just got over an episode of leg/ankle pain and burning. It lasted for about 3 days. Mine comes and goes but this time it was severe. Still not DX'd, but...
Aside from muscle ailments/stregnth/fatigue, the decrease in cognitive functions has been one of my biggest problems. I used to be able to carry conversations and join in, but now I sit on the...
This forum is AWESOME!...
Well, I was good for about a week, and generally okay. stools are very soft but not going back to having D 5-7 times a day. And, not much pain or cramping lately either. And, yes - I'm still passing...
Keep us posted on any news. Take care, Pam...
Hi Kas, I too have a constant sometimes dull, sometimes tender, sometimes achy feeling in my arm muscles and all the time in my back, neck and shoulders. I am also in limboland after seeing a...
What a nice opportunity. Congratulations!...
Thanks - for all the suggestions....
Kirsty - I'm in limbo too. I know it's difficult not to worry about everything, but worrying may make the symptoms worse. Try to relax and do some research/reading about MS and keep reading and...
I have IBS-D so I'll pass on the stool softener - LOL but maybe will try the tucks. I was just in shock when I saw the blood and really had no idea what to do. It hurts but is bearable so I'll take...
okay - i was good for a week and the past few days i've been going and going. I notice a small bump and this morning after i wiped there was a lot of blood. i could tell it was not in my bowels so i...
I've had cluster migraines since last thursday and I'm ready to bite someone's head off! Dr called me in a refill for butalbital but it's not really doing much - the ibuprofen helped me this morning...
thanks. I used to be able to carry a conversation and remember what I read in the paper or saw on the news. thanks for the tips and empathy!...
Thanks Rhonda. I just feel that I am alienating myself more and more these days. I can laugh at myself sometimes but not lately. I've been getting cluster migraines since last thursday too, so that...
I feel so stupid sometimes. I can't remember words when I'm talking. I find myself staying out of conversations more and more. I just sit there and maybe put in an interjection or two. My daughter is...
Hi, I tried Trileptal for neuro pain and burning but I can't remember if it helped! (lol) It was several years ago and I know I stopped taking it because it made me more confused than I was already....
Thats a good idea. I will try it as it did make me feel better but I could lose the sugar. I was drinking apple juice and other fruit juice which my dr advised me not to = his words were "pam, we...
Well I got a migraine this morning and the first sign of the aura i started drinking water. it still hurt but wasn't too bad. I don't think that it's from dehydration because i drink water all day...
Thanks everyone - all this information certainly helps. I do get frequent UTI's (about 2-3 times a year), but I was told that I get them because my bladder never really empties all the way which...
ms limbo here but wanted to ask what some of you take for bladder control. I've been told that i have a neurogenic bladder and was given some medication, i cant' even remember what it was as it was...
Thanks - my dr actually suggested the gatorade since i had d for so long - and to be honest i felt better after drinking a little bit for several days - my headache went away and generaly feeling...
/community/emoticons/eyes.gif had been doing pretty good - I mean 2 months of "d" will drain you of any life left, but I started eating more soluble fiber foods, drank gatorade and took pro-biotics,...
yeah - it sounds like bile...
I think I was given Toradol in the ER once but what is compazine? The only time I went to the ER in my entire 32 year migraine history is when they went from 4 times a year to 7 in one day. I...
Buckeye. I am not yet dx'd but the thought of the intra muscular shots scares the heck out of me too. After I had my hip replacement, I did have to give myself sub-cutaneous shot every day for a...
A massage sounds sooooooooo good right now. My daughter tries, but (ha ha ha ) 7 year old hands just don't cut it! Pam...
Thanks Denda - I'll look around. I've thought about some type of massage therapy....
Rhonda, That was a beautiful poem....
Missy, I can tell you that when my migraines come on, I get an aura which starts out as a small spot in my vision and the placement can change from headache to headache. The aura can be seen when...
Thanks guys - I do notice that when someone massages my legs (due to RLS) there are certain areas that really hurt - also inside my knee when pressed and inside my arms by the elbows. whatever I have...
do you guys find it hard to pay attention when in conversation or reading> I can read the same paragraph several times and still can't remember much of what I've read....
