  • I feel like crap all day but after 9 I feel great?

    I have noticed this pattern for 2 months. I feel sickly during the day. Lack of energy, no enthusiasm, tense and disassociated from everything. But around 9 I feel great I feel like I could accomplish something but I have to sleep to be able to go to work. i wake up tired feeling sickly( no sleep apnea)I usually take my vitamins after dinner and this maybe a contributing factor. I just wonder what's causing this and if there is a medical term for this. I'm not a night owl and usually love the day but this is getting old fast

  • Could this be a sinus infection/ sinititus?

    The last week I have had achy pressure in my eyes, slight headache, dizziness and now my left cheek is numb like novacane wearing off it spreads to my lip area. I do have problems with allergies and take claritin daily along with nasal irrigation. But I have never had the numbness before and have encounter many sinus issues in my life. It's not droopy and I can use the muscles in the cheek to smile so I don't think it's stroke or like Bell's palsy

  • Can birth control cause mood swings, irritable, anger, migraines....please any info?

    I have been on the pill for over a year. Ever since I started my moods have been up and down but the last 3 months have been horrible. My migraines are to the point my vision is disturbed. My mood is horrible to depressed, irritable, just not myself. I also had blood work done and my glucose levels are elavated and I also have a b6 defiecency. I believe theses are contributed to the bc as well. Anyone have these problems? I think I'm going to quit taking them all together

  • Elevated glucose and B6 vitamin deficiency from birth control... Should I stop usage of bc?

    No history of diabetes in my family nor any major health issues. But ever since being put on birthcontrol I have had weird symptoms that doctors can't pinpoint until I recently had a glucose test and some other blood work. They want me on a low glycemic diet along with b vitamin supplements more the likely the cause of this is my birth control pills wouldn't it be smarter to stop the bc then to mask the problem with diet and supplements?...

  • When I moisturize my face I get like rolled flakes of skin after I touch my face?

    I have been itchy on my face so I have been using moisturizer. After I put it on I feel these little pieces of what feels like skin. It comes off on my hands and looks like old skin. Is this just dry skin coming off from the use of moisturizer? I wash my face daily and I believe the chemicals I the water dry my skin and it becames itchy.

  • Can these be effects of Claritin?

    I have taken Claritin not on a daily basis but regularly for 7+ years. I have not had any side effects besides drying of my nose but other then that nothing this is with generic and name brand claritin or Loratidine. Around a month ago I bought Walmart brand generic claritin. Started to get these weird symptoms and thought it was another medication I was on so I stopped that. I started to take the claritin again and all of a sudden had the same issues. Its like after I take it within a few hours I get bad brain fog like symptoms(not drowsiness),a dream like state of mind, increased anxiety, and nausea. I stopped taking it and got withdrawal like symptoms to where I'm depressed like and so tired then after a few days I'm ok. All I can point to is the cheap generic claritin. Has anyone else had this happen with the cheap stuff? I have tried several other generic no problem but this Walmart brand is horrible. My pharmacist said it could be a filler in the pill... I'm hoping because I just took a name brand claritin to see if I get the same effects... I hope not.. Fingers crossed

The last week on it I have had horrible irritability, irrational thoughts, and short term memory loss that came one after a month of use along with lasting fatigue and itch.I have been off of it for 2 days and still having these problems especially with my memory and weird thoughts. Is this common and will it eventually get better? Does any one know how long the meds last in your system after use?

  • Can claritin cause dry, itchy skin?

    I been taking claritin daily for over a month for severe allergies and hayfever. I have began to notice that I feel itchy all over. My face,neck, arms and back being the worst. I talked with an allergist and said if I was having a reaction to something like food or environmental that I would have a rash which I don't. So I have to try to eliminate factors to find the cause. The only thing I can think of is started around the time I started taking claritin daily and I believe it's causing my skin to dry out and itch. Is this possible?

  • Can this be Itchy skin from clean clothes?

    Lately I noticed I have itchy skin after coming to work arms, face, legs pretty much all over. This has been going on for 3 weeks can't find out what's causing it. I have no rash no redness just itchy feeling. My allergies have been horrible lately and maybe causing my skin to be sensitive to my laundry detergent or fabric sheets. I have not changed any brands of detergent or fabrics sheets. I only notice this at work which is weird I don't when I am at home. I can figure out what causes this itch! I take daily anti histamines which do nothing for this

  • Phlebitis in arm, vein now turned yellow and blue?

    I got this after an iv in my arm, it's inflammation in the vein which hurts like hell! I had a red streak in my forearm about 4 inches long I did see a dr and they told me to take Advil and put warm compress on it and gave me Bactrim antibotic which found out after 3 days I can't take because of reactions. Still after almost 2 weeks it is still slightly painful, but now it's like just the vein is bruised looking its mostly yellow with some blue. Is this normal? I can understand that it was inflamed but to look bruised or could it be a sign I should have it rechecked?

  • Birth control not working for cysts?

    I was in horrific pain last fall also felt like I had a uti with constant urination ect. Dr"s could not figure it out until I seen my neurologist for other medical reasons and had ct scans done for cancer. The scan found ovarian cysts which I had removed. Previous to the findings I wanted to be placed on bc pills because I was put on anti depressants which can cause birth defects. Any way I noticed that my symptoms on the bc got some what better but never put 2 and 2 together. Anyway after the cyst findings an surgery I got another functional cyst back 2 months after removal. I thought that bc helps to stop with growths of new cyst formation? I can not tolerate a high dose bc so im only on a low dose. They don't think I have PCOS but they can't pin point the cause of these dang cyst...could it be hormonal? But u would think that the pills would elevate my hormones.... Any thought my Dr(s) and Gynocologist are absolutely no help

  • Chest pain and frequent burping?

    For the last 3 days I have cheat pain by my heart more like gas pressure. It feels like I have a big burp but can only get a small one out. I have been to the dr and I have a good blood pressure reading and my pulse is high due to anxiety which I believe is causing strange heartburn/ indegestion problems. Tums helps for a short time and started with Prilosec OTC last night but I wake up in with bad pains in chest all over again in the morning. What are so other things I can try to help reduce the discomfort? I kno my heart is fine had many ct scans and ekgs not to long ago for other reasons but I kno it's healthy

  • Long term Xanax use ?

    I have been on the lowest dose of Xanax for a yr. I have tried Antidepressants to help with my anxiety disorder but I have bad reactions to them. it seems like I can not tolerate the anti-ds and the only thing that helps is Xanax. I do not feel addicted nor do I abuse them but I seems like I am stuck and will eventually become dependent because I need them to help with my anxiety. I have a neurological disorder that drugs like Buspar and Kolopin make my symptoms worse and gives me adverse effects. Is there any other anxiety medication out there that is less addictive?
