Where were you when I was talking to the nurse today?rass wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 5:24 pm Only dealt with concussions with the kids but there was no definitive “you have this level concussion” diagnosis or test. And they recommended not taking painkillers because it could make you feel better than you really are. I assume they told you that if they want you to monitor for a headache.

That Epley maneuver is amazing. One treatment of like a minute remedied dizziness that I'd had for more than four months.MaxWebster wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 7:13 pm(btw i went to PT for vertigo and the guy was amazing - 3 visits in a week and he fixed me up. Something called the Epley maneuver.)
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

Re: SwampMD
fuckin rights - couldn't imagine feeling how i did for even a few days longer but for you to have it for four months is unthinkable, Steve - jeez.
question is: have you ever tried it (Epley) yourself? It seems so relatively simple and this past week i've actually felt a tinge of dizzyness coming back and I've been wanting to try it on my own before one of those massive spin-attacks comes back... but i'm a little gunshy about it.

My secretary had dizziness and tried to do it herself, and it just didn't work. But when she went to a PT, that took care of it.

Re: SwampMD
GOUT!
god damned it....Big toe has been hurting for over a week now. Started when I was in Boston, and I was thinking it was from walking so much, and having an oyster and a lobster roll my last night for dinner. But I've been good since I've been home, and its not getting any better. What's weird is that is starts to feel better, and then like yesterday afternoon, last night, it just got worse.
I've been doing the allopurinol for years, and been taking indomethacin since this flare up started, but its not working. And I've been drinking cherry juice, to no avail. Only thing that really helps is putting my foot in a bucket of ice...and that only lasts so long.

Re: SwampMD
Ugh, that sucks. I started to get that familiar pain in the big toe the Thursday before meeting AB, so I was extremely relieved it was either just a quick flare-up or something else. Hope it gets better soon.

Just a toe with sympathy pain for Carlos.

Re: SwampMD
I've been taking allopurinol for a year and a half and have had two flareups, one which was absolutely horrible.
Have you tried colchicine?

Re: SwampMD
Wut? I may look like a war refugee with my shoulder sling and my eyepatch, but my big toe is good!

Re: SwampMD
Haha no, I had a huge burn blister and had it for 10 days by the time I met AB in Nashville. Kelli and I named him Carlos (I got it by picking up a metal ramekin that had been sitting on a fajita skillet...seemed appropriate).
