I have been sick for over a year now. I keep going to the doctor with no answers they keep treating the immediate problem and I am starting to think there is more of a major problem. Possibly Fibromyalgia. I have body ache, pain, disturbed sleep, exhaustion, stiffness when I wake up, tingling in my hands and legs. I know I need to see a Dr. I just want to know more about the disease and if there are any treatments to help it. Thanx Bunches!!!

Has anyone else experienced vaginal dryness while taking Accutane? Please help, I am desperate!?
I’m 22 and I’m taking Accutane, 40 mg a day. I was on 20mg a day because the 40 was too much, so I just now am taking 40mg a day. This is my third month into it, but maybe first month into the 40 mg..so the doctor said I had a few months left since I started slow. Well, my acne is almost completely gone everywhere which I LOVE, since I’ve had severe cystic acne everywhere on my face and body. But the dryness is HORRIBLE. I just forgot sunscreen for one day, and my legs have second degree burn and are blistering. I have burning after I pee down there, got checked, no infections of any kind. I think what it is, is bad vaginal dryness. I’m a virgin, so I only masturbate. But when I wasn’t on accutane, i was really wet, always ready..and now that I’m on it I can’t even get wet. When I did things with my boyfriend, which was just masturbating with him, before the accutane, I could orgasm and get really wet. Even up to a few weeks ago. I haven’t masturbated in a couple of weeks, so I did just a while ago..and it HURT and I didn’t even get wet. And I am usually wet, and have awesome orgasms by myself. I was so dry, and it hurt, I think I did orgasm, but it was painful as well..I don’t penetrate, only rub my c***..So. Did anyone else experience dryness on accutane down there? Or burning? I am thinking of stopping Accutane if this does not get better, I do NOT want to live the rest of my life having pain and dryness down there just to get my skin clear. I am so happy about my skin, but not at these costs..if that’s what it is. Please help! Also, my mom pays for my accutane, and what do I say if I tell her I’m quitting?
And if you did, does it go away? Or is it for life?
Yes, I may have made a mistake with the dosage. The doctor said I was taking 20 something, and then 40 something after I got used to the 20..When I first started taking it I was having horrible side effects from not being used to it. But this is a real, and quite serious question.

If you have symptoms of an ovarian cyst, does that mean it is a cancerous cyst? My ovaries are killing me. My back and legs hurt and I feel like I have PMS, but I don’t. I am sick to my stomach too, very bad.

it runs horribly in our family.
i have throbbing pains when I move in my
hips, wrists, & knees mainly.
Occasionally in legs, arms, & back.
the bones sometime pop & crackle,
what are the chances of this being
osteoporosis.?
if it can’t be that,
what could it be.?
thanks.!

I am going to see a reproductive endocrinologist soon, due the fact that I may be going through perimenopause at the age of 27.

I am struggling with dizziness, which is a side effect. However, lately, it has gotten worse. I have fell twice this week due to dizziness. I will stand up and literally fall over.

No my skin, especially my face, is getting more pale. My eyes are sunken in. I know part of the eye issue is due to my lack of sleep, which is also a symptom of perimenopause.

I am bruising a lot as well. My legs have tons of bruises on them, and I haven’t bumped into anything, etc.

Any idea what this could be? Or do you think it’s just linked to the perimenopause?
I take supplements now. I take Magnesium, Calcium, Potassium pills, and I take lots of Vitamin B. I can’t have caffeine, so I rely on Vitamin B to help with energy levels.

I eat greens, chicken, fish, soups. I’m on a healthy eating plan. I’ve lost 145 pounds.

I had surgery on the 23, and today my legs started to swell. Have anyone have had the same experience after robotic radical hysterectomy? What do you do to help yourself? I am wearing compressor stockings upon my doctor’s request, but they are just up to my knees.
