    • Close Essential Tremor

      I have head, hands, and at times voice tremor. It's been 12 years since my diagnosis. Stress really makes me unable to do anything. I don't work anymore and my stress is much less making my life manageble.

    • Close Gallstones

      Hi everyone. I recently found out that I had gall stones. I wasn't having a lot of pain but last night I spent the worst pain ever. I didn't want to wake my husband but at 5:30 AM after suffering all night I had to. I stayed in the hospital until after 12 PM and was told that I needed to be admitted and have surgery the next day as today is a Sunday. I signed out AMA because I wanted to discuss it with my gastro doc. I talked to my gastro doc and he said surgery was not recommended yet.

      Treatments

      Low Fat Diet Working / Worked
      No pain since the one incident.
    • Open Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

      I'd like to see what others are taking for colitis. I also have Ulcerative colitis. It never goes away.

      Treatments

      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
      Only works if I am not in a flare up.
      Imodium Somewhat Helpful
      Not supposed to take with ulcerative colitis.
      Levsin Working / Worked
      Caused hair loss.
      Humex Working / Worked
      I cant keep a job with the colitis. I lose too much work time and have had accidents and had to go home.
