I'm posting this here because most doctors I've seen dismiss a lot as "it's just in the head", and although I completely believe that psychological factors can have a huge effect on the body, I just want to rule anything else out first.
Can anyone give me insights on exercise induced insomnia? I've read here and there that you should exercise at least 3 hours prior to sleeping ( or maybe thats eating?). In any case, (it's my vacation right now), I work out from 7-8:30 , eat dinner at 9:30, and go to sleep by about 3:45-4:00 in the morning everyday. I've found that when I ramp up the intensity of the work out, It's impossible for me to sleep. There seems to be some debate as to whether late exercise can induce insomnia, what's your take? Second, (embarassingly, but thank god for internet anonymity ), can hemorrhoids cause symptoms like that of chronic pelvic pain? I've recently been diagnosed with internal hemorrhoids, but for a few years before this stumped doctors with odd lower abdominal and pelvic pains, (There's always slight discomofort and a swollen feeling around the perineum, and on and off twangs of extreme pain). I've had god knows how many ultra sounds, urine tests, blood tests and a couple of MRI's done, with nothing abnormal at all ever coming up. I was prescribed some Urimax, which helped a lot The best I've gotten is 'you need to relax more'. In the past. I probably do, but could there be a relation between the hemorrhoids and the pelvic pain? Like a nerve being pressed funny or something? Anyone have an experience with similar pelvic pain? |

Also I just realized it's external hemorrhoids that cause anal pain. But you have internal. Those don't usually cause pain.

As for your issue about chronic pelvic pain, your best bet is to get an X-ray of it (I'm sure you've had one, but if not, have it done or have it done again). Whenever someone says "chronic pelvic pain" it's usually due to some sort of hip fracture seen in the elderly. I don't think your old whatsoever, but you can still fracture your hip or your femoral shaft which would cause chronic hip pain. Or, if you've had hip arthroplasty in the past or the any addition of hip screws, those may be the reason why.

I find usually a short (2-3km) run at around 8:30 pm best. I usually sleep around 12 am since my problems started. Before I got my act together I went two weeks of at most 4-6 hours of sleep in total at most. And regarding BP, I don't know, but my BP actually drops after exercise.

Eternal Sunshine of the Bionic Mind: Prosthesis Could Restore Memory:
"In the film "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," the characters undergo a scientific procedure to erase their memory. But what if instead of erasing memory, you could restore it? One neuroscientist aims to do just that. Theodore Berger of the University of Southern California is developing a prosthesis to restore memory, by replacing a circuit in the brain's hippocampus. Berger described the device at the Global Future 2045 International Congress, held here June 15-16. Already successful in rats and monkeys, the prosthesis is now being tested in humans."

Exercise has been a big factor in keeping me going. The bicycle commute to and from work really helped out. However, I stopped riding the bike so much for about a month before I came down with this bronchitis, mainly due to inclement weather. I've always wondered if the lack of exercise prolonged this. Over the last week I've been getting back on the bike and doing some laps around the block, staying close to home just in case something happened. Although I still can't go the distance I used to, I do generally feel better (but not 100% better) after a ride and some light weightlifting. Also, the only medicine that seems to be helping is Mucinex. Not coughing up nearly as much phlegm (yuk!)as I was, but it's still coming. Also, the lemon tea with honey seems to help as well.

The fact that you can exercise would rule out MG because it would be extremely difficult to exercise with easily fatigable muscles in poor MG control. Your MG must have been bad to have to take Azathioprine for it.
Azathioprine is an immunosuppresant and one of th3 side effects is infection, which makes respiratory infections like pneumonia a possibility

Antibacterials don't work on fungi so fungi will just replace what used to be bacteria town. It's actually a surprisingly common side effect.
My sister had oral Candidiasis after taking Amoxicillin for a week.

Medications were prescribed, but within a week after diagnosis, I was so weak. In the mornings, after resting all night I was somewhat ok, but I would get progressively worse as the day wore on. I couldn't hold my head up for very long, and my chin would be resting on my chest. My speech was very slurred. My eyes were going in different directions (that was very annoying). I dropped a bowl of noodles one night because I was so weak, I couldn't carry the bowl. I had a hard time climbing the stairs. I couldn't raise my arms above my head, so Mrs. ES had to wash my hair for me. This also made simple things like brushing mt teeth or even shaving a big hassle. Bowel movements were getting hard to control. However, the worst part was the swallowing and the breathing. I dreaded every meal simply because I had such a hard time swallowing, and often ended up choking on my food, struggling to get it down. The scared look on Mrs. ES's face spoke volumes. One night, about two weeks after being diagnosed, things finally came to a head and we decided to get me to a emergency room as I could barely breathe at all. I spent a month in the hospital being tested, intubated, and otherwise cared for and monitored. I also had a thymectomy. I was very popular among the medical staff, mainly because MG is rather rare, which is why I don't mind talking about it. I also lost about 60 pounds. Quote:

I don't know but I managed to observed a procedure though.. I takes around 15 minutes to perform. I say it's better good since we got a lot of patients asking to undergo the procedure... Probably a follow up after the operation.... And also.... The operation is to be done separately ( 3 months) between for the other eye.... It's around P30,000...

I'm starting to have a pet peeve on doctors ordering CT scan and MRI when they don't NEED to. I can't count anymore how many times a patient came in with lightheadedness yet looking perfectly normal with unremarkable neurologic PE. Except for numbness on one area of his forearm. Then the residents (even some consultants) are like... CT scan to rule out stroke.
For crying out loud, stroke was ruled out just by the PE and history!

In fact you raise a very strong irritation of mine with doctors. When you have persistent condition lasting months, they refuse to run any scans on you until just lately.
