Has anyone found something to deal with the increased smells? I could barely stand going in a grocery store because I could smell EVERYONE and EVERYTHING. I never realized grocery stores smell like cardboard. Stinky cardboard. Lol I won't even go into the smell at the meat counter...disgusting. I was wondering if I could dab an essential oil under my nose or something to help.

View 2 RepliesMy sense of smell is so sensitive that I've had to ask my husband to change his deodorant, we've changed our laundry detergent to one without a fragrance, and if anything is seasoned with Italian herbs or herbs in general I become nauseous. Is anyone else sensitive to smells?

View 2 RepliesOkay, I am only 16. I am sexually active with my boyfriend.. I have recently just been treated for a UTI . My medication is done but now I have a discharge that smells funky.. It smells like old period blood. But anyways after I had sex I noticed this very thick, sticky, milky white glob of something on my boyfriends penis.. I thought it was sperm but it ended up being me. I have never had it before. I need help. I don't know what it could be . I looked it up and it said it could be an early sign of pregnancy.. The mucus plug they call it.
View 1 RepliesDoes anyone have any coping strategies that they could share with me. I have to have a cleaner because I'm too exhausted to even wash my clothes and a carer to shower me. My body is killing me with pain from top to bottom,especially in my back. The pain relief isn't working. I feel like bursting into tears. I can't go on like this any more.

View 2 RepliesLong story short I went to urgent care about 5 months ago because I was feeling lightheaded and disoriented. The NP told me I had an inner ear infection and gave me meds.
About 4 days later my symptoms had not improved and I went to the ER. They ran tons of tests and all were clear, then told me they also thought it an ear infection. I was diagnosed with a middle ear infection and sinusitis, told to stop my old meds and take some new ones.
I took a full round of antibiotics to clear the infection and after the bottle was empty i noticed no improvement, and may have felt worse.
I made an appointment for balance testing and an MRI with my ENT. The MRI come back squeaky clean. The balance test revealed that I had sustained "low frequency nerve damage in both ears". I now realize he probably meant vestibular nerve damage.
It's been close to 6 months now, I do feel much better than when this started but I still have constant brain fog and a feeling of imbalance. I also seem to feel worse when I go to stores or busy places. (oddly enough this excludes the gym, it's the one place I feel normal some times, I believe due to the fact working out releases endorphins, i'm not sure). I took an auditory test and they said everything seemed normal which is why I think it is neuritis and not labyrinths, as labs usually also causes hearing damage?
What do you guys think, sound like vestibular neuritis?
P.S. I'm doing some at home vestibular exercises, I meet with my ENT on the 22nd and am going to get him to refer me to VRT. At the moment the hardest thing to deal with is the brain fog, and anxiety it causes. I was thinking about asking to be put on Zoloft as my mother takes this and says it does wonders for her. I'm just nervous that it could make my brain fog worse, or slow down compensation. Do you think either of these could happen?
P.P.S. if you have a success story in dealing with this or know someone who has I would love to hear it. I'm beginning to feel that my life will always be like this and it's <seriously depressing> to be honest.
I am wondering if there is someone else who is or has dealt with this condition at this young age. She will be undergoing a series of test in 2 weeks.

View 97 RepliesI actually began running about 2 months ago, starting with a run 2 minutes, walk 4 and trying to gradually build from there (I m a college student, and had been walking quite a lot, around 4 miles, to and from class each day prior to beginning running). Problem is, my shins have been giving me a LOT of problems. I'm not sure what to do and am becoming quite frustrated...I've tried new shoes (currently in nike prestos, I love the shoes, they are the most comfortable things I have ever worn in my life!), gradually building up my runs, stretching, taking rest periods when they start to hurt...and as a result have not been able to increase mileage at all!
Should I run through the pain? I am guessing these are just shin splints...is it okay to run through these, do they go away? Is there anything else I can do? If anyone has any advice at all, I would really appreciate it. It is driving me nuts not to be able to run! I am trying to "rest"...so for the past month and a half have only been running about 2 days a week, with each run only about 15 minutes long.
I have been officially diagnosed with celiac disease and I have been gluten free for about 3 years now. However, I have been having on again off again inflammation of my prostate for the past few months. Some have suggested that there is a strong connection between celiac and prostatitis. I try pretty hard to avoid gluten, but could cross contamination cause flare ups? This last flare up has lasted a few days with no signs of letting up.
View 1 RepliesI have always had trouble maintaining a strong erection in certain positions. Lying down and standing up come to mind. I am always strongest when sat upright, or when having sex in the 'bulldog' position. I have always felt this was strange and would love to feel at my fullest in other sexual positions. It helps to push down on the area above and below my penis. Does anyone have any recommendations for maintaining a more full erection? Aside from a cock ring which I have had a bad experience with, I do not 'lift' so I can presume perhaps a lack of testosterone.
I can only remember once in my whole life experiencing a rock hard erection whilst standing, maybe 3 years ago. Maybe I was particularly aroused, I don't know, but never since then. It felt great at that time and I would love to get that way again.
I have a fairly regular sex life and just feel like it's a pain me to have to prioritise one position over others; its like I cannot be spontaneous because my erection will not be as strong. For example, my penis is roughly 1 inch thicker around the head than the base. As a result, my partners tend to like me at times using just the head when inserting in and out. This I often use to heighten their orgasm (whilst also stimulating clitoris). But the only way to sustain a very hard head is for myself to push down on the area above my penis. I would love it if I could just do all this without that and be more attentive to my partners with my own hands.
