I believe my migraines are weather related. I get a nasty one every time a storm rolls in. I’ve tried sinus medicines, excedrin migraine, advil with coffee, a humidifier, nothing works. My head hurts so bad and I get so nauseaus I throw up. I was wondering if prescription migraine meds have any effect on weather related migraines, and what side effects they have? Can someone on birth control take them? Thanks.

Last night, I woke up with stomach cramps. They subsided on their own after a while, and I eventually went back to sleep. I didn’t have any other symptoms (heartburn, nausea, etc.) besides the cramps, and so far I feel okay today.

What is a good remedy – either medicine or simple home remedy – to take for stomach cramps? I have two stomach medicines in my house – liquid Pepto and Maalox tablets – but I’m not sure either of them would help at all.

A friend has Hepatitis C. Her liver is weak due to the Hep C. I looked up a list of things she should be avoiding and taking more of.She’s not supposed to take acetaminophen or ibuprofen because it weakens the liver. However, she got a really bad headache today and couldn’t take anything to relieve the pain. Any ideas for home remedies to relieve headaches or any other medicines she can take?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Why is it separated out like that? Why would a doctor willingly not use a particular medicine if he knows it’s the best medicine for the job, wouldn’t that be a violation of the hippocratic oath?

What is it, a conspiracy to only use medicines created by the major drug companies or something?

I want to get some cold medicine but what do I get? All I have is a small fever not and then, chest congestion and a runny nose with sneezing. There are so many medicines to buy but I don’t want to but something that isn’t for me.

I am diagnosed as ADD, Borderline Personality Disorder, and Clinically Depressed and am on Abilify and Welbutrin. Some side effects I’ve experienced are weight gain, extreme fatigue (sleeping 9-11 hours a night), and slight hair loss. Does anyone know how to manage these side effects while not going off the medicine completely? I’ve found it near impossible to lose weight while on these medicines especially.

Whenever someone smokes, I get headaches and sometimes difficulty breathing. The pain has gotten worse over the last six months. Could anyone explain? ( I do not smoke)
I can’t really avoid it. Whenever my dad takes me out, he always smokes. At least two before arriving at the destination. I have Air Conditioning on, but no help.
He does roll down his window, have the AC on and I even have to roll my window down it’s that bad. I actually have two medicines, Cyproheptadine and something like Zyrtec.

I get a migraine 2 days before my period every month. Nothing helps it. Not laying down, different medicines, taking a shower, eating, etc.

What is it that causes it? Can going on birth control help this?

If one medicine causes insomnia in 28% of patients, and the other causes insomnia in 26% of patients, what is the probability that you will get insomnia if you are on both medicines?

I get migraines and I take preventive migraine medicine. It not pain medicine so I don’t have to worry about mixing medicines but I still do not want to take tylenol or advil or anything like that. I want a good all natural supplement to take which I could take to get rid of the occasional breakthrough pain.

Any suggestions would be nice.

I am doing a biology research project on something that could have caused my life-long asthma.
Before my birth in 1992, my mother had to take some sort of medicine to mature my lungs very quickly. I would not have lived if I had come 3 months early without the medicines she was taking.
Now she can’t remember the medicine she took, but I’m looking for some possible medicines to base my research from. Any help?

I have had trouble with both getting to sleep and staying asleep for what seems like forever now. I average about 3 hours a night sleep, total not consecutive, and it’s about to drive me insane. Since there are so many different medicines out there for insomnia, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on which is best so I can talk with my doctor about it.
