They aren't pretty.

Calamine, ugh! I've been avoiding it thus far, but if the itching doesn't go away before this evening I'm going to have to buy myself a bottle of the pink stink.

Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 16 March 2006 18:28 (eighteen years ago) link

they make it clear now, though i've been told it doesn't work as well.

i can empathize, i developed a mysterious rash on my torso and it has been driving me insane with the itching! went to the doctor, was prescribed cortisone pills which make me totally drowsy and headachey which is actually better than the itchy hell i've been in.

diagnosis: pityriosis rosea

it came from nowhere.

ai lien (kold_krush), Thursday, 16 March 2006 19:35 (eighteen years ago) link

my case is very mild, but the calamine worked well for awhile. benadryl did nothing but make me sleepy.

Lower back pain for three or four days.

A little blood in my urine this morning.

It's maybe just a wee bit of dehydration. I'll have plenty of water today and see what happens.

Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 05:48 (eighteen years ago) link

Also possibly cystitis - lots of fluids is the way to go.

I smacked my elbow on a steel post whilst using a fencepost bopper the other week I got very severe funnybone tingling which went away but I was using an angle grinder this weekend and it seems to have set up a more permanant tingle along with some nasty twinges. Time for me to see the doctor I think.

Ed (dali), Monday, 15 May 2006 11:05 (seventeen years ago) link

I would try resting it first before you spend all that money. It's amazing how these things will just go away in time. The body's default setting is to repair itself.

(Sounds like a nerve got hit to me, worth checking out.)

I struggled through Monday and Tuesday, but today I have taken the day off. My appetite has disappeared so it must be REAL BAD.

Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 09:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Yesterday, I would have sworn that I was coming down with a cold. My lungs just weren't feeling too good and I was coughing a lot. Two days ago, I had been cleaning some junk yard wheel covers that I had gotten for my car in the kitchen sink using straight ammonia. I opened all the windows and doors in the kitchen and wore a breathig mask, but I'm thinking now that my "cold" was the result of too many fumes, because I seem ok now. The wheel covers look pretty good btw.

getting a weird taste in my mouth /throat starting to cough and not stopping, unless i consciously stop myself. Then not being able to get my breath back and wheezing like I've got whooping cough, asthma or something.

I mean am I dying or something, since this is happening a couple of times a day at least. Thought it might be a reaction against something(s) in the flat but seems to be hitting me elsewhere now.

Having had flu/cold that i can't shake for ages.

one year passes...

on brain fog as symptomatic of something deleterious on a grander scale

having a thought wriggle away, and attempting to snag it immediately back
(the brain doing a routine thing, a little movement to snatch at the thought, like it has during incalculable distracted moments in the past)
coming up with nil, the mind starting to reach further and more desperately for the thought
mounting conscious obsessive terror about the loss of the thought and the circumstances that lead/are leading to its loss, including this right now
the thought slipping further and further behind an ever-increasing mass of suffocating clouds
repeat more often every day

varicose vein in my right leg at 34. It hurts like fuck and it feels like my leg/foot is going to explode. then it stops for a few weeks but comes back after a while. why? will i die?

nuumerykah (dog latin), Tuesday, 10 March 2015 10:05 (nine years ago) link

Varicose veins aren't usually painful. Is the vein varicose even when it's not painful?

Might be phlebitis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phlebitis

for the last 2-3 weeks: waking up early every morning in urgent need of a piss, sometimes in the middle of the night too.

gonna have to go to the doctor's next week i guess. sigh.

gong mad (Noodle Vague), Friday, 22 May 2015 05:52 (eight years ago) link

my tonsils have been up for a few weeks now, like I'm permanently on the verge of flu. think it's because I've been drinking too much, exercising too little and sleeping in rooms with aircon but it can go away now I'm home thanks.

aside from the concern around the consistent need to do so, periods of early morning/nighttime pissing are so f'ing tiresome.

Fizzles, Friday, 22 May 2015 07:38 (eight years ago) link

decent Horizon ep the other night suggested that the effects of steady booze consumption may be akin to low level perma-flu

gong mad (Noodle Vague), Friday, 22 May 2015 08:19 (eight years ago) link

yeah, I'm reaching an age now where i really notice the beneficial effects of staying off booze more days of the week than not. productivity, clarity of thought, springiness of step, sleep, whatever - it all seems to add up.

Fizzles, Friday, 22 May 2015 08:34 (eight years ago) link

so want a cure for this semi-perm hay fever bouts I have been having for the last 3-4 years. Maybe I should drink more idk..

xyzzzz__, Friday, 22 May 2015 11:15 (eight years ago) link

Ha, I went to doctor with lingering coldy symptoms recently and he strongly emphasised drinking less.

But doctors pretty much always emphasise that.

six months pass...

there are no diabetes threads it seems so can anyone calm me down about my big numb toe. i can still move it for the most part, i don't notice it most of the time but it's been like this for a couple months. there just isn't much feeling in the middle of it. there's no tingling.

i have nerve-y problems (disc is out of place i think?) that i just started getting PT for but that's all in my neck/upper back. i took a blood test 6-8 mos ago and i was below prediabetes levels so i haven't been too worried, but i eat a lot of starches and plain old sugar tbh so i'm always a little worried, and now i'm a lot worried.

qualx, Thursday, 3 December 2015 07:33 (eight years ago) link

Diabetic neuropathy won't usually affect one toe in isolation, or cause significant loss of sensation without pain or tingling/burning. It can precede the diagnosis of diabetes but that's not typical.

One numb big toe makes me think sciatica (S1 radiculopathy) but that's usually accompanied by the classic pattern of pain shooting down the back of the thigh. Another option would be neuropathy of the digital nerve to that toe, most likely compressive from tight footwear. In the latter case, if you can figure out what caused it and avoid further compression, it should recover within a couple of months.

Plasmon, Thursday, 3 December 2015 14:01 (eight years ago) link

Spent much of last weekend pissing out of my arse.
