Suggest Treatment For Chronic Migraines And Fibrimyalgia

I also have been having some urinary problems as well. I don't burn when I go or anything like that. However, I have to really strain hard to go or push on the urethea in order to urinate. I'm worried about this because I was born with only one functioning kidney. It was genetic as it was passed down from my fathers side of family. The other kidney is just pea sized as it didn't fully grow.
Activity wise, I go out and do what I can in the yard and I do housework but it's at a very slow pace with breaks.
What are your thoughts????
Likely to be due to side effects. Check kidney function
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
You should check your kidney function as the swelling of the legs can be due to the same.
Numbness and tingling can be due to the side effects of Trokendi and Gabapentin. Urinary retention can occur with Trazodone and kidney problems and stones can occur with Trokendi.
Also there is adverse interaction between Trokendi and Trazodone.
You can improve your depression and mood with exercising 30 minutes per day, practising stress relieving measures like yoga , meditation or relaxation techniques and having a positive outcome. You are on high doses of medicines which produce sedation and lassitude. Reducing their doses gradually and better lifestyle and positive attitude with stress relieving measures will help you.
You are welcome to get back to me if you have further queries.
Best wishes,


A family physician can help .

Welcome back.
Sorry for the delay in replying due to the time zone difference.
You should also get your Thyroid function tested. Hypothyroidism can produce lassitude, hoarseness of voice.
Another possibility is a laryngitis. If you are allergic to pollen, one possibility is an allergic reaction in your upper respiratory tract. The is tube (Eustachian tube ) connecting the back of the nose to the ear. A block to the tube leads to accumulation of fluid in the ear. Your family physician will be able to detect and treat it. You may be referred to an ENT doctor if required.
So it's always good to follow up with a smart family physician who is available to examine you, investigate, treat /refer to specialist(s) as required.
Good day
