Sex Induced Headaches

Sex causes a major headache for many people. John Edwards finally admitted to have sex with another woman, while his wife battles breast cancer. Hopefully, the main reason he has a headache now is that his wife conked him on the head.
Danny Bonaduce (aka Danny Partridge) married a woman on their blind date […]

Acute Low Back Pain

Hayden Panettiere, the auto-regenerating cheerleader from Heroes, is Ms. Paparazzi Queen! You know you’re hot stuff when you’re filmed and photographed while getting a mani-pedi. On one episode, while painting her toenails, Hayden cut off her pinky toe to see if it would regenerate— which it did, just like a starfish!
Now, I’ve […]

Multiple Sclerosis

I have an impostor. Yes, I knew after achieving a certain level of fame (I wish!) that I would eventually have an impostor. What next, a stalker? (I don’t recommend anyone stalking me because I can scream at such a high pitch it would make Yoko Ono seem like Barry White.)
There’s another […]

BPV - Benign Positional Vertigo - Get off the Merry Go Round

Eighties music will live in my heart like a Celine Dion song. Okay, ix-nay on the eline-Cay ion-Day part. My mother sang opera before she went to medical school, and so I was raised on classical music. Rock and roll music made my mother swoon-while singing a high C-aaaaaah! So I didn’t really get […]

Tension Headache - What a pain in the head!

Tension can be a good thing. A tightrope walker needs a good tense rope. Tension in the theater can make the difference between a B movie and an A movie. The View became more popular with all the tension that occurred with Rosie O’Donnell. Personally, I’m wound so tightly that if I relax, I’ll […]

Parkinson’s Disease : More than a shaky matter

Michael J. Fox and I have some similarities! Okay, besides the fact that we are both short, we were both born in Canada! Yes, I was practically born in a little igloo in Canada before we moved to the US.
Let’s face it, we all love Canadians. As far as I know, there […]

Alcoholic Cerebellar Degeneration : Worse than putting a lamp shade on your head

Dionne Warwick ruled the airwaves before her show, Solid Gold, became tainted with green and her Psychic Hotline went bankrupt-couldn’t predict that!
“If you see me walking down the street, And I start to cry, Each time we meet, Walk on by… dah, dah, dah, dah, dah.” Johnny Cash Walked the Line and probably […]

Spinal Stenosis: pinched nerves in the back and neck

Penny pinching is no longer just a memory of the ’30s and the Great Depression. When gasoline and milk flirt with $3/gallon, Elsie the cow is going to be a billionaire but not able to afford to drive around in her Rolls Royce. She’s going to have to walk to moooooove along. Medical co-payments are […]

Tinnitis: ringing in your ear isn’t from someone talking about you

Vincent van Gogh is one of my favorite painters of all time. He was so ahead of his time that he didn’t know his “Starry Night” painting would look like a type of lymphoma under the microscope!
It’s so sad van Gogh didn’t make money with his paintings. In fact, rumors abound that […]

Fatigue: More than Army Wear

I would never survive in jail. When I was a UVA fellow, I interviewed at the local jail for a moonlighting position. I suddenly related to my mother’s experience as medical resident in NYC when she had to help at the local lock-up. Whooping, hollering (unlike Gwen Stefani, who ain’t no Hollaback Girl), and name-calling– […]
