Pain?
I tried 'tiger balm' off Amazon for pain and it worked wonders. Just incase anyone wants to try it. Does give a menthol feeling but helps if anyone is interested.

Tension headaches
I’ve been having headaches most days since March this year. Mostly in my forehead & not awful pain but I’m aware my head hurts. I have been to my surgery at least 4 times & still no explanation as to what’s causing them. I do have pulsating tinnitus to which doesn’t help as it keeps me awake which

Impaired left ventricular relaxation /normal filling pressures-whatever that means
So I had an echo yesterday ordered by my cardiologist after I went to see him to ask for propranolol because my nurse navigator from my EP's office is weird about prescribing propranolol. I had an ablation in April. My cardiologist wants to rule out pulmonary vein stenosis following the ablation because

Hawthorn supplement helped
I have had paroxysmal AF for several years, but episodes were getting more frequent and lasting longer in the past year. I am a 53 yo female, slim build, never smoked, in good health otherwise. My mom had AF (tachycardia) for 40 yrs and my brother has V tach, so it's very much genetic. I saw the cardiologist

Posterior circulation migraines
For the last year I've been suffering from posterior circulation migraines. The severity differs,sometimes it appears to others I may be having a stroke (in fact my first one I had a year ago hospital told me I was having a TIA) or sometimes I might have a bad headache,I'm currently taking amitriptyline

Saturday I did some research and believe my severe headaches are occipital neuralgia. I gave in Sunday a went to the ER. I told the Dr my suspicions. He was hesitant at first but my ct scan came out fine. He hooked me up to an iv cocktail of migraine medicine. Then he did some testing of points on

Post aura migraine aura????
Another weird syptom after the ablation on Tuesday. I have had an aura lasting 15 minutes almost every day since then. I normally have occasional auras with no headaches, but these are more frequent. Anybody else with similar symptoms and how long did they last?

ouch!! Headaches
Back in May I had horrible headaches and extreme spasticity in my shoulders and neck. After a week I went to instant care. Dr said I most likely had an MS flare causing the bad spasticity and that was causing tension headaches. He put me on a six day taper of prednisone and some acetaminophen with caffeine

Weird eye symptoms
Hi all, hope you’re all coping as well as you can. I’ve had some weird eye symptoms the last couple of weeks, seeing strange colours and patterns flash before my eyes, sometimes for hours at a time. On the worst day, I could barely see past the patterns to my computer screen, and it was accompanied by

FLARE FROM A MIGRAINE?
I have PMR & GCA, both diagnosed in 2020. Early on, I saw on here that visual distortions were a sign of the GCA ramping up, so I would increase my preds for a while to compensate when it happened. That probably happened around a dozen times over the years. Then, six months ago, someone posted here an

cervical stenosis
has anyone ever tried acupuncture for cervical stenosis? My hubby is so badly affected by the cold weather (yes, it’s cold here in north east Lincolnshire atm, more like the blinking autumn!) We’re so fortunate in that we’ve got two weeks in Greece in September and then Singapore and Australia in

Vydura tablets
Has anyone tried Vydura (rimegepant) either as a migraine preventative or as a migraine treatment? What are your experiences of it? What are the side effects? Is it effective? I have tried many migraine preventatives, none of which are currently effective! I use rizatriptan and OTC painkillers as migraine

Tegretol (carbamazapine) supply?
I wonder if anyone else has the same problem with their supply of Tegretol? My doctors pharmacy does not seem able to get it for me and I have had to go miles out of my way to get my prescription fulfilled out of town. When my supply of pills gets so low I panic and am worried that I may not be able

The Relatively Simple Theory of Jaw Function
States: 1. The functioning pattern of the jaws (occlusion) is one of the body's major adaptive mechanisms. 2. When the body becomes over-stressed due to emotional factors, physical injury or malocclusion, corresponding tension in the muscles, ligaments and membranes can develop. 3. It is this tension

PMR since July 2018 and down to 1mg. Enter GCA
My Bio is pretty well up to date, until a week ago. Quick summary of things is: I'm ok, vision ok, diagnosed with GCA, and I've gone from 1mg (nearly done...or so I thought) to 60mg. Now on my third day of 60mg and waiting on new bloods I did today and a call from the consultant tomorrow to discuss

Paroxetine
Over a year ago, gp increased the dosage from 40mg to 50mg. Few weeks ago another gp said I was on the maximum dosage (50mg). A recent medication review with yet another different gp, told me that 40mg was the maximum dosage. For 3 days now I've cut back to 40mg but I've been feeling really tired, wobbly
