Question 1

sudden onset kalidascope vision, dark spot in vision accompanied with sudden irritability, chronic neck pain, dull headaches, all on left side.

Accepted Answer

Likely migraine: Your symptoms sound like classic migraine. I recommend an eye exam just to reassure that your eyes are otherwise healthy. Otherwise a neurologist would be particularly helpful for your management of both the headache and chronic neck pain. Good luck.

Question 2

help! i've been having chronic stomach/abdominal irritability/pain after eating?

Accepted Answer

See your doc: Sounds like a trip to the doctor is in your future.  Anything chronic like you describe needs to be checked out.  You may want to talk to your doctor about any changes in your life or other stresses which could be related to your stomach problems.

Question 3

chronically elevated bun w/symptoms of headaches, body swelling, joint pain & stiffness, irritability. is this urea cycle disfunction?

Accepted Answer

BUN: You don't mention the bun level or what your creatinine and urinalysis results are. Elevation of the bun with otherwise normal kidney function is often caused by dehydration. It can also be caused by eating too much protein or bleeding into the intestinal tract. If you or your physician are concerned consult a nephrologist.

Question 4

why should i get a chronicity scan?

Accepted Answer

If carrying twins: Twins may or may not be at risk of the blood vessels from which they get nutrition and oxygen from the mother being shared.  This sort of scan is intended to help determine that.  If there is such sharing then there is risk of a "twin-twin transfusion" that can cause severe problems, usually for the baby that receives too much blood.

Question 5

is it likely that the chronicity of overlap myeloproliferative-myelodysplastic disorder would by itself cause this rising crp (30.5 mg/l 37.8; 54.3 ; 66.0; 110.0; 126.9; 148.5; 89.6; & 147.3)? it will be investigated bit i still desire an opinion now

Accepted Answer

Rising crp: Such a rise in crp levels point to an inflammatory process, but I would feel that the myeloproliferative bone marrow disorder or the myelodysplasia would show very active myeloid activity with marked rising white blood cell count and progressive anemia to raise crp to those levels. I would be concerned about an underlying infectious process. However, your hematologist is best qualified to answer.

Question 6

i want to the er last night with back pain they did a x-ray and sent me home b4 the x-rays came back. i got the results on my portal its say superior endplate compression deformities at t12 and l1, uncertain chronicity. what dose this mean?

Accepted Answer

Question 7

treated w/laser glaucoma open angle, unsuccessful. now on xalatan generic and timoptic (timolol). is there any new treatment? 83 y.o. male w/ open angle glaucoma; 40 years chronicity. reccomendation?

Accepted Answer

The : The most recent peer-reviewed fda approved treatment for glaucoma is the minimally invasive surgery canaloplasty.  Essentially, this surgery is like angioplasty for the eye as it uses a catheter to dilate the natural drainage system.  Three year results have recently been published and are objectively impressive when compare to other glaucoma treatments.

More information can be found about canaloplasty through the iscience website www.Canaloplasty.Com or by googling "new glaucoma treatments".

Question 9

what is the best way to reduce irritability?

Accepted Answer

Re-group: Occasional irritability is a common   experience for people. It is an unpleasant state that  suggests that a person feels deprived, offended, or unhappy with one's immediate situation. Taking a break, getting a little exercise, or counting the good things in one's life can help. Irritability can be a symptom of various mental disorders. If it persists a mental health evaluation might be in order.

Question 10

i'm wondering what medication works best for irritability?

Accepted Answer

It depends: What is causing your irritability?  If it is part of depression, you may need medication.  However, before looking for a medication, it would be helpful to,talk with a counselor and,figure,out,the source and reasons for your irritability.  A good evaluation is the best place to begin.
