Stress, sinus condition, allergy, high humidity, developed migraines, eye strain, Depending on age, it could be "change in life." symptom. I get headaches way too often. I have found that prescription Imitrex is by FAR the best thing to control the pain. Other than Imitrex she could try..taking a warm/hot shower, nasal spray, Vanquish or Orudis (stronger and better than others) quiet time, allergy and/or sinus medication, a little menthol jell on or near pain area and under the nose to breath the menthol. Hope this helps

Does she has anyone in her family that suffers essential tremors? How old is she? If so she might be having some neurological diosrder, but a lot of shaking "for nothing" can go on stress, fear - anxiety. If it happens during the social situations it must be that she is having social anxiety....try noticing details, when it happens - when she is calm at home, when she is out, which situations makes it more, is it all the time? That all could be parametars for what she has. All the best!

Sometimes actions speak louder than words.  Show her that you are willing to listen and support her by just being there and not proding her.  She'll talk when she's ready.  The medical industry is always very demanding and stressful and doctors have a tendency to think that noone understands, but deep down inside all they want is what all of us do (some TLC and peace and quiet).  Let your sister know that you love her and that you care and that you're there if she needs to vent.  She is after all your sister not the doctor.

I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Any time one has a major surgery there is a chance of not making it through the surgery My mom,in 2003 went to her doctor(regular visit) and he sent her to the hospital they ran the usual tests and told her they would not release her,that she had no choice but to have a quadruple by-pass.So she did,she came through the surgery fine. It took a few months for her to regain her strength,she never seemed to recover from a deep depression.18 months later she died peacefully in her sleep.What concerns me,the quadruple was a fairly new venture in heart surgery at the time.Within 6 months of her surgery,her boyfriend was told he needed the same surgery.and one month later mom's younger brother was told he needed a quadruple by pass.at the same time  a friend of mine had the surgery then the doctor tells his wife she needed the same surgery a month or so later another friend of mine had to have the same surgery!These people live in different states But...they were all on social security and medicaid or medicare.There may not be any connection or anything.But it just strikes me as odd that all these people I know had to have the same surgery.I have even wondered"were these doctors using these people as guinea pigs for practice? My Mom was 70 when she died.There's no doubt that many people need this type surgery.Maybe I am just being paranoid!I guess I am still very upset at the fact the doctor said the surgery would add 10 to 15 years to her life.Her death was totally unexpected.She was not complaining of pain or feeling sick or anything. I pray your Grandpa will have a good out come on his surgery!

Although you can't force her to do anything, I would strongly urge her to seek help.  This is not normal, and if she goes through with it she will hurt a lot more people than just her and her husband.

First of all- you are a great kid! Thank You for being so caring towards your mother. It sounds like she needs a meds evaluation. I say this often to people on here who say their meds aren't working because yes, there are meds that may work better but she may not be dosed right either. Weight fluctuations can cause problems, etc. Her meds may not be working effectively because symptoms of depression are still evident. I would suggest that you and your Dad encourage her to see a Doc ASAP. if she has trouble paying bills, etc- re-delegate this task to someone else (Dad)- make sure she has help with household chores, etc. Focus on reducing her stress- regardless of whether it means having a hot meal on the table when she gets home, doing laundry, or whatever else needs to be done. Maybe she's due for a vacation- she should take one if she can- even if you stay in town and do small activities like going to the movies, going out for dinner, etc.

Have more bloodwork done,NOW. There is a possibility she is not over it. She can go into septic shock. One of the symptoms is lack of appetite, so make absolutely sure she is through  with it. Also, find out if the medication she was on irritated her throat or possibly gave her ulcers. That happened to my mom. She ended up with 27 ulcers in her throat and stomach. Pleaase have her checked out NOW!

When i have an episode, I just need to be left alone for awhile.  Try to communicate with her through notes if you can't talk to each other.  Don't start with "You don't this or You did that" but say more along the lines of "I feel I need more help around the house" or "I feel like sometimes you don't like me very much" or something along those lines.  It's hard to communicate during an episode because it does take over.  Maybe her writing back will help her calm down, let her put her feelings on paper.  At least the lines of communication will still be open.  I hope she sees a doctor.

Your mother may be going through menopause...Women go through it at various ages but usually not until close to 50...Also, she could be experiencing side effects from a medication...What can you do to get your relationship back on track?  Confide in her about  how you feel when she acts this way...Try to find out why "freaking out" is a part of her personality, now..Try to be understanding...

no i havent. I'd get it checked out asap, something else is probably causing it. See if yer mom has had problems with hers, it could run in the family.

Hello Sir,\nI can understand your problem because my mother suffered almost with the same kind of proble. she also consulted with many neuro surgeons and orthopedic surgeons but nothing happened. The only thing that helped her was physiotherapy. You better go to a qualified physiotherapist. I hope that will definitely work for you.\nI hope that the problem of your wife will soon be over.\nI will pray for her.

Call and ask to speak to her Doc. Tell him how you feel, tell him how you mother is acting, tell him she is doubling up on meds, having accidents,ect.  If that does not work try to talk to the school counciler, if your mom is addicted to pain meds she needs help and is NOT able to help herself.  She could have an accident that could kill or injure herself and innocent people.  Good luck.\n\nBlubla

My mom needs to lower her blood pressure, and she is limiting salt as well as eating more fiber. . .oatmeal, cheerios.  Drink a lot of water, too, that is soooo important.

It takes it toll on all involved. I usually have maic episodes, so the first signs are my needing less sleep, wanting to go out all the time, spending money, and just bend very grandious. It's hard to hide those facts from neighbors and family. I think the one it takes the most toll on is my husband. My family is in a different country so we chat daily by phone.The kids usually get shielded by visiting my husbands family, or aunts, uncles, and cousins (something they love to do) in a neighboring town. With neighbors and the cleaning lady, if asked we say I'm not feeling well, but don't go into details. I have only a few friends and they all knoz about my condition, so I tell them and they understand, offering to come over to keep me company, or offering to give me my space. My husband has to be the hardest hit because he has the huge responsibility of working, taking care of everyday things, and on top of it all, he has to take care of me. He is great though and I am lucky to have him in my life.
