Headaches

Depo Provera is sometimes used to help some types of menstrual Migraine attacks. Whether it will be effective depends on whether your attacks are related to low estrogen, high estrogen, or estrogen fluctuations. For best results, see a headache specialist.

I dont think it will. DEPO will only prevent pregnancy. For other hormonal problems it is advisable to see your doctor and have your hormones checked.

No form of Depakote can be crushed. If a patient can not take pills whole you would want to see if the MD would switch the patient to Depakote Sprinkles that can be mixed in with food or to the liquids form

A headache is a symptom, not a disease. There are over 300 different headache types, each with its own diagnosis and treatments. Many of them may be of constant duration.

For appropriate diagnosis and treatment of Migraine and headache disorders, seek the help of a qualified, board certified Migraine and headache specialist.

If you have been taking birth control pills regularly for more than three months, you can "double up" if you forget a day. Take yesterday's and today's pills together, then continue taking one a day as usual. If you just started the pills, you should use an alternate form of contraceptive in addition to this, just to be safe, as your body hasn't had enough time to become regulated with the hormones. If you miss more than two tablets in any month, you will need to throw the pack away and start a new one.

Hi, Unfortunately some women do continue to experience pregnancy symptoms after coming off contraceptives a lot longer than others. But all unusual symptoms after stopping/starting contraceptives need to be reported to your doctor. Most side effects should stop around 4-6 months after stopping contraceptives in usual cases but in most cases symptoms disperse within 3-4 months. See your doctor and rule out pregnancy and also have your hormones checked.

Most likely it is lymph node. If there is just one and it is not hot, read, or tender and can be easily pushed around it is probably nothing to worry about. If not, or if it is growing or just not going away after months, let your doctor see it.

You can get a headache for many, many different reasons, including being too hot, hearing loud noises, being hungry, being thirsty, or being tired.

If you have back problems it can cause you to have a headache if something is out of place. Also if you don't have enough sleep and stay up really late for a few days it can cause you to have a headache. If you get hit in the head with an object it could cause one too.

You should eat less greasy foods. It seems to be a build up of fat.

I've battled stress headaches and tension headaches for a good portion of my life. One thing that REALLY helps me is walking by myself. It doesn't have to be an hour walk. It could be for just fifteen minutes but it allows me to clear my mind and put things in proper perspective. I'm able to prioritize my problems and deal with them in a more orderly fashion instead of trying to solve them all at once. When you try to take care of everything all at the same time, even the slightest problem can seem overwhelming. The mere fact of being outside in the fresh air is also very relaxing. The other thing that really helps me is using an aromatherapy eye pillow. I keep the eye pillow in the freezer so it's always ready to use. I use one with peppermint leaves, peppermint oils and flax seed.

The weight of the flax seed works like acupressure on my eyes and temples. The flax seed holds the cold in to help reduce swelling and stress around my eyes. The peppermint scent just opens my sinuses right up and helps me breathe so much better. That alone helps me to relax. The eye pillow itself blocks out any light which always helps my headaches! The company I purchased it from is A Touch Of Satin. Their website is http://www.atouchofsatin.com if anyone is interested.

They use organic flax seed and organic peppermint leaves and that was important to me. If you think this will help you then you might want to give them a look. I hope this helps everybody. It certainly helps me!

It means the grim reaper is next to you.

An infection could be the cause of those symptoms. If the child is extremely dizzy and feels that either she/he is spinning or the room around her/him is spinning, should could have a condition called Vertigo which can be caused by a middle ear infection. Although not life threatening, if your child also complains of a stiff neck, please visit a physicial IMMEDIATELY for she/he may have something called Meningitis (inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord) which can be fatal withing 24 hours if left untreated.

Sometimes your dehydrated so drink a bit of water. Or you can try taking an Ibuprofen. Or you can put an ice pack on your head and go in a dark room. If you have had the headache for a few days and its really bad, go see a doctor.

I had a radical neck disection on May 22nd 2008. I have chronic pain in my shoulder and arm - and sick of taking the narcotic pain medication.

My surgeon didnt seem to believe that i could or should have any pain after this surgury - he is of no help in this area at all.

My primary care Dr. suggested I begin taking LYRICA - I've been taking 50mg 3x a day for about 2 weeks now and it does seem to help. I do still find days that i feel I need something else like advil and that seems to help in addition to the lyrica. However LYRICA takes a while to perform the full benefits - weeks sometimes as I've read. So maybe there is hope!

Lyrica does help but doesnt completely relieve the pain- and after all of the research I have done looking for an answer to the relief of the chronic pain in my shoulder - I would do anything to have just one pain free day.............

I don't know for sure, but I've been taking lexapro for over a year now, and my prescription ran out a week ago and my pharmacist wouldn't fill it without ok from doc, who was on vacation. This is day 7 and today I feel like I could just fall over, my head hurts, I'm having panic attacks...it am assuming its from the drug...i go back to doc in two days.

Paracetamol is effective for some types of headache disorders. Using it more than 3 doses per week may result in Medication Overuse Headache/rebound however, so great care should be taken in its usage. Consult a pharmacist or physician for best advice.

Technically, yes. It's called a parasthesia. The Mental foramen, located in the lower jaw runs thru a hole in the jaw just below the second bi-cuspid and first molar. If this is a lower molar, and you have neglected it to this point, it is my opinion that it could affect that nerve root that is in the lower mandible. My advice is to see an Endodontist or Oral Surgeon AT ONCE. Do not ignore this. I was a registered oral surgery/Endodontal/Periodontal assistant (RDA) for 12 years. An infected tooth can turn into gangrene, and cause blindness, even death, IF IGNORED.

In many cases, ischemia can be successfully treated, but the underlying disease process of atherosclerosis is usually not "cured." The outcome for silent ischemia has not been well established.

Well, no. Although optical illusions can distort your vision somewhat, they cannot permanently damage your eyes. If you have had eye problems in the past, though, you may want to be wary of optical illusions. ~
