I am a 28 year old male who on 5/16/2014 packed out truck at work. I work for cvs. On 5/17/2014 I woke up with pins and needle in my right arm and fingers. It would constantly come and go until 5/23/2014, when again on truck day I felt my whole arm go numb. I rushed to the er who diagnosed me...

I have been having a problem with dizzy spells from time to time. They don't last very long..a moment or two but come on very suddenly when I least likely expect it. Does anyone else have a problem with dizziness?
I also have a constant ringing in my right ear so recently went to an ENT...

I went to see another doctor due my strong headache issues and stuffed nose, well guess what? He ordered a CT scan of the sinuses... He is the third doctor to order a CT scan, the neurologist I saw some days ago ordered a brain CT scan, the proctologist I saw 2 months ago ordered a chest CT scan...
Hi, I have not been officially told I have anything yet. My fingers are crossed"kinda" that I just have a viral infection.

I got diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 3 years ago. I had been seeing a neurologist until recently. He had me taking 400 mg Lyrica and 120 mg of Cymbalta each day. I was constantly in pain...all the time. I was having very few good days.
I have started seeing a rheumatologist and had my...
The neurologist that I have been seeing finally got most of the worst symptoms under control so that it is easier to work. He put me on modafinil and gabapentin and I feel better than I have for years. Although I feel better, I don't seem to have any more energy. I didn't get any extra spoons...
This having fibro really really sucks. I am now trying to find a new doctor to treat me. The neurologist that has been treating me for the past 3 years apparently doesn't want me as a patient anymore. He didn't say as much but when I saw him over 2 weeks ago he really gave me the impression...
