View 4 RepliesI'm 9 weeks today, having real bad headaches & wondering what can I take for it
View 4 RepliesI am 19 weeks and for over a week i have woke up every morning with a headache and sore neck. My headache lasts all day. I dont like to take meds especially when pregnant although i have had to take tylenol once this week. I am wondering if it is from the way i am sleeping or something. I usually sleep on my stomach but about 2 months ago i switched to sleeping on my sides with a body pillow between my knees and tucked under my lil belly. I drink lots of water and cut waaay back on coffee when trying to conceive. I am considering getting a massage if i can find someone local who treats pregnant women. Never had a massage!! Anyone have any suggestions? My stress level is the same as normal.

View 2 RepliesI'm a 19 year old female and suffer with headaches and have done since I was 9 years old. I have been passed from pillar to post by doctors and they all have different opinions. I have periods of time where I have a 24 hour migraine for about 6 weeks and then I'm migraine free for a month or two , its a pain at the front of my head accompanied by a pulsating pain which is made worse with movement . It makes me feel sick and I'm sensitive to light and sound . Id love to speak to anyone who is in the same boat, and can enlighten me as to treatments ? It has such a strain on my day to day life and the maintenance of my relationship.

2 weeks ago I was advised to go and see a chiropractor for a shoulder problem I was having. He said he thought I had a trapped nerve in the C7 region. I said I only wanted conservative treatment so he used the adjustor (the little device that clicks and knocks agains your skin if you've seen one) down my neck to try and shift the nerve.
When I got up from the table, I felt a woosh of heat and a throbbing pain at the back of my skull. My whole head felt pressurised and my neck was very stiff. The next day i had the same feeling, as though someone had punched me in the head and feeling dizzy etc.
Now it's two weeks later and no better. The pain travels from the base of my skull and is like a stabbing behind my eye.
I should mention this is all on the left hand side. I had to go to a and e it was so bad at one point and after basic tests they said I had just strained my neck and to take naproxin. This is NOT a neck strain! The head pressure is like a dull feeling over my whole head but particularly at the C1 area and behind my eye and is constant but ranges from tolerable to unbarable.
My chiro said I must just have a sensitive neck..
Has anyone had anything like this happen to them? I'm totally open to all ideas from anyone! Could it be that he somehow moved a nerve which is now causing optical neuralgia maybe?
During my trip to Asia last Aug/Sept this year, I have the following exposures:
1) Aug 27 in China, I have sex with CSW. Protected Oral & Vaginal. My risk for this encounter was: I touched her vaginal fluid, then use that hand to open the condom. Unfortunately, when I was trying to put the condom on, it was the wrong end, so I have to turn inside out. The vaginal fluid probably contacts the head of my penis. Also, when I was done with ejaculation, I withdrew and found the condom was still hanging outside of her vagina. The condom's ring still outside of her vagina tho, I didn't have to fish to get it out. When I pull it out and checked, all my *** was inside the condom.
2) sept 4 in Thailand, protected oral and vaginal sex (No risk from what I read from the forum)
3) sept 5 in Thailand, she performed unprotected oral on me, but protected vaginal sex
4) sept 6 in Thailand, unprotected oral, I licked her vagina, but protected vaginal
5) sept 8 in Vietnam, she performed unprotected oral on me, but protected vaginal sex
My test and symptoms after back US on sept 11
* out of panic, Sept 14, went to my GP and ask for full panel STD test include CBC HIV (I believe ELISA 3rd from Kaiser). All came back normal and Negative. I know this is useless for early HIV test
* Starting week 5 - Oct 7, I started to have big stomach upset. Abdominal pain, lot of gases for 3 straight days. I went to hospital, they performed blood test and found nothing abnormal and no H. Pylori bacterial found either. So, my GP told I probably have Gastritis & IBS. So, out of panic again, I ask for another ELISA antibody test from Kaiser. It came out Negative. But, the stomach problem still lingering until now.
* starting week 6 - I have postnasal drip and cough until now. The cough is probably cause by the drip.
* Week 7 - I noticed white patches on my tongue. I went to GP, he swabbed my tongue and tested. It confirmed that I was light candida albicans growth. But, I looked at oral thrush from the internet, mine is just a light white film coating, no hurt or pain when I swallow. I can easily brush it off at night when I brush my teeth. Again, I asked my GP for another test, actually 2 test, one is standard ELISA antibody and the other rapid antibody on the same day. All came back NEGATIVE.
So far I do not have fever, rash, swollen lymph node or night sweat.
* from that on, I have tested with Oraquick swab for the week of 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, 12 (85 days). All NEGATIVE.
My Questions:
1) please help assess my risk. Which one I have the most risk?
2) With my ELISA 3rd Gen blood test at week 5 and 7 and all my oraquick swab tests including 12 weeks (85 days), can it be considered conclusive?
3) Is oraquick swab at home reliable at 12 weeks? should I continue further testing with blood test?
I'm 12 days delayed menstruation today, my period is irregular. should I take more pregnancy test or should I go to a doctor?my partner and I trying to have a baby this past 2 yrs. and we are having difficult to monitor my menstruation cycle because of my irregular period.
View 3 RepliesPlease tell me is my period flow normal. I used to get 5-6 day periods, heavy for 2 days, medium for 2 days, then light for 1-2 days until it tapered off and ended. It was this way even when I was on birth control.
For the past few months now, I have been getting 3-4 day periods, where the first day is really just some spotting indicating my period is going to be starting. The second day is my heavy day. The third day is medium light. The 4th day is light. I'm still on birth control. I am 30 years old now.
Also last month, my period color was dark brown and I also had some black colored clotting during my heavy day. I know some blood clots are normal during menstruation, I had them all my life. But this blood clot was black. Again this month on my heavy day, I had black colored clot. It was a dime size clot. Size was not large. Is black color clotting anything to worry about? I do not see red blood these past two periods like I am used to seeing. I am seeing mostly brown and/or black.
And how can I increase my menstrual flow. I am worried that my endometrium lining is thinning and can cause a problem when I do try for children.
I know I cant just take anything. What can I take for headache?
