I don't know if I'm in the right place or not, but if I'm not, please forgive me.

Several months ago, I began to have what I call "spells."It feels like something in my spine that gets weak and then I feel very light headed as though I'm going to pass out.

I've had 5 major spine surgeries - 2 lumbar and 3 cervical, the last being for spinal cord compression at the C3/C4 levels.I've also had a total hip replacement.Because of these chronic conditions, I'm currently a patient in a Pain Management Clinic at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, in Washington, D.C.I'm treated with MS Contin 30 mg, MS Contin 15 mg, 2 percocet at bedtime, 100 mg of elavil before bed.In May of this year, I became very depressed and was given Wellbutrin and Trazadone.These spells started after that.

Most recently, I've had cataract surgery on both my eyes.Upon recovery from the cataract surgery, when my doctor (ophthalmologist) was examining my eyes, he found that my optic nerve is swollen and immediately sent me to other doctors who agreed that it was swollen and told me I need to see a neurologist right away and the swollen optic nerve meant an increased level of pressure in the brain.My initial physician wanted these other folks to determine if I have papilledema or pseudo papilledema.The second physician I saw, as I said above, said that I needed to see a neurologist right away.

I had a brain stem stroke in 1988 and tomorrow, I'm going to see the neurologist who treated me for that.I'm a military dependent and wanted to keep my care at Walter Reed, but for some reason, they've dropped the ball on this and thus I decided to see the physician who treated my stroke simply because of the doctor's sense of urgency.I seem to remember at that time that something was said about my optic nerve, but I cannot remember what.I do remember that I was given cortisone to try to bring my vision back to normal after the stroke.However, I'm sure they have my records archived and can easily find out.It didn't, but it did get normal over a period of time by itself.I had double vision then.When I mentioned this to the second ophthalmologist (the one who told me to see a neurologist), he said no, this is more recent than that - meaning this swelling.I don't know how he could know that.

Anyway, as I said above, the only unusual symptom I've had are my weak spells and I've been told that I get very pale during them.It almost feels as though my blood pressure rises and then suddenly drops.

I would appreciate any comments you may have regarding my condition.

Dizziness/foggy feeling - Neurology - MedHelp

Hives and other chronic and itchy skin rashes can be one of the reactions that you may manifests as a result of a gluten allergy. Since you cant be allergic to your own skin, the allergy or intolerance must actually lie with the gluten you consume.

People with gluten allergies may suffer from any number of unpleasant symptoms, triggered by their bodies inability to properly digest gluten. The symptoms can range in frequency and severity and may include migraines and lethargy, to gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhea or constipation, to skin problems. Going on a life-long gluten-free diet is the only method of managing this condition.

People with gluten allergies produce extraneous amounts of the IgA antibodies as a reaction to gluten in their systems. This reaction is considered an autoimmune response to what the body perceives to be an invasion by a foreign and unrecognisable substance. The body creates special antibodies to attack the gluten proteins; however, in the process it also begins to attack its own protein tissues. In some people the body deposits the antibodies into the skin. These antibodies are triggered when the gluten, which is absorbed into the bloodstream, is circulated around the body and deposited in the dermis (skin). This interaction results in eruptions on the skin that manifest as a blistering, burning and itchy rash known as Dermatitis Herpetiformis.

While Dermatitis Herpetiformis can affect any area of the body, it is mainly located on the scalp, elbows, buttocks, knees, legs and back. Research shows that Dermatitis Herpetiformis is not a common reaction to gluten, and it affects more men than women. People with Dermatitis Herpetiformis should get tested for gluten enteropathy, the most common form of celiac disease.

An elimination diet is the only way to control Dermatitis Herpetiformis. Even then, once you have gone gluten-free it may still take months, or even years, until the Dermatitis Herpetiformis completely resolves.

Can a gluten-free diet help your psoriasis?

With gluten-free diets getting more and more attention these days, you may wonder if going gluten-free would help reduce your psoriasis symptoms.

The jury is still out on this topic, but, in some cases, eliminating glutena complex protein found in wheat, barley and ryedoes seem to help reduce psoriasis. In a smaller number of cases, eliminating gluten can lead to dramatic improvements. However, following a gluten-free diet, which is very restrictive, is a major commitment. Its not a step you should take unnecessarily. Is gluten-free right for you?

To understand whyand ifeliminating gluten might be right for you, its important to understand why and how gluten can cause problems for some people.

Gluten allergy: Experts estimate that up to 2 million people in the U.S. may suffer from an allergy to gluten, which is found in bread, pasta, crackers and other baked goods made from wheat, barley, or rye. Less obvious are processed foods, from lunch meats to salad dressings, that can also contain this potentially problematic protein.

Research Finds Tetanus Shot Improves Patient Survival According to a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers from Duke Cancer Institute used a tetanus booster to prime the immune system in order to enhance the effects of vaccine therapy for lethal brain tumors, dramatically improving patient survival. The researchers built the study on earlier findings that glioblastoma tumors harbor a strain of cytomegalovirus (CMV) that is not present in the surrounding brain tissue, creating a natural target for an immune therapy. To read more about this study, click here.

Raman Technique Helps Surgeons Excise Brain Cancer A research team led by engineer Frdric Leblond of Montreal Polytechnique and neurosurgeon Kevin Petrecca, MD, PhD, of McGill University, also in Montreal, developed a Raman probe that can distinguish between normal cells and cancer cells. Its method, published in a recent issue of Science Translational Medicine, showed it could find previously undetectable cancer cells in the brains of glioma patients. Unlike other medical imaging techniques, Raman provides information on molecules, which could allow for faster characterization of tissue types. To read more about this technique, click here.

New Tumor-targeting Agent Treats Variety of Cancers A recent study published in the journal Science Translational Medicine found a new class of tumor-targeting agents that can seek out and find dozens of solid tumors, even illuminating brain cancer stem cells that resist current treatments. Years of animal studies and early human clinical trials show that this tumor-targeting alkylphosphocholine (APC) molecule can deliver two types of "payloads" directly to cancer cells; a radioactive or fluorescent imaging label, or a radioactive medicine that binds and kills cancer cells. One of the studys lead co-authors, John S. Kuo, MD, PhD, FAANS, who was initially skeptical, says "It is a very broad cancer-targeting agent both because of the many cancers that test positive, and its ability to detect cancer throughout the body. The APC analogs revealed clusters of cancer in patients that were small, asymptomatic and previously undetected by physicians." To read more about this study, click here.

Thank You for Attending the 83rd AANS Annual Scientific Meeting With the theme Neurosurgerys Founding Principles, the 83rd American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) Annual Scientific Meeting welcomed more than 3,000 medical attendees to Washington, D.C., to celebrate and reflect on both the history and future of neurosurgery. For additional post-meeting information and resources, including online recordings, official photography from the sessions and the presidential address of 2014-2015 AANS President Robert E. Harbaugh, MD, FAANS, click here.

Introducing 2015-2016 AANS President, H. Hunt Batjer, MD, FAANS The American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) has named Texas-based neurosurgeon H. Hunt Batjer, MD, FAANS, as its 2015-2016 president. His appointment was announced during the 83rd Annual Scientific Meeting, held in Washington D.C. May 2-6, 2015. As president of the AANS, I serve both the specialty and public interest. Neurosurgery cannot be performed by other health-care providers; by guiding health policy concerning the need for the highest-quality neurosurgical care and by ensuring continued patient access to neurosurgeons, neurosurgery will maintain its essential position in our evolving health-care system. The AANS leadership and staff will ensure that our members receive the highest quality continuing education, keeping members on pace with the dramatic technological advances that will allow us to treat currently non-curable disease, stated Batjer.

Using the Polio Virus to Kill Cancer For the past year, producers from CBS 60 Minutes program have been following glioblastoma patients and reporting on their participation in a new clinical Phase I trial from Duke University, which uses the polio virus to help kill glioblastoma tumors. The trial is the result of more than 25 years of research by Dr. Matthias Gromeier, a molecular biologist. Although its still in a phase I stage of the study, using the virus is a promising new approach in the expanding field of cancer immunotherapy. To watch the two-part 60 Minutes segment, click here.

It's probably none of the above. Most likely, you have irritated a nerve in your foot somehow. This could have been through wearing bad shoes, changing shoes as of late, or just twisting your foot in the wrong way or stepping on a pebble. Like me, there may be no reasonable explanation, it just happened. If you have pain directly in the region of the vibration it could be a Neuroma.

3. Book an appoint with your doctor - Let's be realistic, it's probably nothing. The vast majority of people who have posted on this forum experienced the symptoms for a week, then it went away without ever coming back. This being said, it is also highly irregular and your doctor should know about it. Be safe guys.

4. Be pro-active - Chances are you won't be able to get into to see your doctor for a day or two. In the mean time its time to start taking measures of your own. Start taking ibuprofen, as much as is safe. If you have irritated a nerve, it will be inflamed and you need to get that swelling down. The same is true if you have an inflamed sciatic nerve. The doctor will give you something stronger, but this is good in the mean time. Also go to the shops and get a B-complex vitamin, Magnesium vitamin, and a standard multi-vitamin. Take these as advised. It may also help to start applying ice to the foot.

5. (From my experience) external vibration applied to the foot helps ease the sensation - I'm serious about this. Find something that vibrates. I have a portable, fold-up massage chair that has a vibrate feature. All I did was lay it out flat and rest my foot on there for 15 mins. This TEMPORARILY stops the buzzing. It's good for when you are about to go to sleep. If you don't believe me on this take off your shoes when you go for a 20 minute drive or something. The vibration from the engine will give a similar effect.

6. Ask your doctor if he/she thinks it is wise to see podiatrist/neurologist/chiropractor or someone who can conduct an ultrasound on your foot - these guys may be able to help you further.

7. Don't be concerned - Yes, it's an annoying sensation. Yes it is scary, but only because it is a sensation that we haven't really felt before. A nerve is misfiring and that is definitely not normal. But just because you have a vibrating foot doesn't mean you have MS or Parkinsons. For the vast majority of people this will disappear within a fortnight.

Don't stress about it too much. Try to ignore it if possible (its hard I know). This will go away.

Fashion entrepreneur Camila Coelho is speaking out about her epilepsy in hopes of changing the stigma around the neurological disorder. Epilepsy, which is characterized by unpredictable seizures, affects nearly 3.4 million people in the U.S. and about 50 million people worldwide.

Coelho, who walks exclusive red carpets and works with major designers, launched her own namesake fashion line last year. She has more than 8.5 million Instagram followers, and has hid her condition until recently.

She was diagnosed when she was 9 years old.

"My hand started closing by itself That's when I fainted and I had my seizure," Coelho told CBS News contributor Dr. Tara Narula. "It was like I went to sleep and the next thing I hear is my mom calling my name, and I couldn't answer her."

"My mom told me, 'Camila no one needs to know this, no one needs to know that you had a seizure or that you have epilepsy,' and I know my mom was trying to protect me," she said. "That was one of the reasons why I never opened up."

Coelho, who grew up in Brazil, started taking medication daily, but has had several seizures since her diagnosis more than two decades ago. She moved to the U.S. as a teenager, but continued to hide her condition as her career took off.

"Sometimes I would feel like people would think I was a little crazy because I had to take this medicine and because I had the seizure like something was wrong with my brain," she said.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that causes the brain to produce sudden, abnormal bursts of electrical energy. The resulting seizures could be as subtle as someone staring blankly into space to loss of consciousness, convulsions and, with certain seizures, even death.

Asked what the most difficult part of managing epilepsy has been, she said, "The most difficult time I would say would be now, thinking of having a baby."

A doctor recently told Coelho and her husband, caro, that her seizure medication could increase the risk of an abnormal pregnancy, but also explained she could be at risk by going off the medication.

"If you do have a seizure while you're pregnant you could lose your baby," she said. "So I'm scared."

But for now, Coelho is continuing her medication, exercising regularly and making sure to get enough sleep, as tiredness can trigger a seizure. She also has had to turn down several professional opportunities to make sure she gets enough rest and manages stress.

Coelho hopes sharing her struggles will make an impact.

"I made the decision to talk about it because I really believe that I could help someone. If I help one person, it's already worth it for me," she said.

If you suspect someone is having a seizure, the Epilepsy Foundation says you should remain calm and stay with them, turn the person on their side and put something under their head. Call 911 if the seizure lasts more than five minutes.
