A nurse was diagnosed with a brain tumor which made her think people were speaking a different language – and she blames it on taking HRT.

Lucy Woodhouse, 43, says she experienced severe headaches which felt like hangovers and struggled to read aloud.

But then in a meeting with colleagues she found herself unable to understand what they were saying, and tests revealed she had a golf ball-sized tumor.



She says she believes the meningioma tumor is linked to the Depo-Provera contraceptive injection, rounds of IVF she had and HRT medication – all of which contain the hormone progesterone.

She says she had the...

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

And why I’ll never stop listening to my body. I have always been a believer in listening to your body and that if something doesn’t feel right, you should reach out to your doctor and say something. I never thought that mindset would lead me to the ER, with a CT Scan showing that I had a walnut-sized tumor in the right frontal lobe of my brain. But three weeks ago, that’s exactly what happened.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

In 2006, Diana Lindsay, who had never so much as held a cigarette, was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. It had metastasized to both lungs, her brain and lymph nodes. Keith Eaton, MD, PhD, clinical director of thoracic, head and neck medical oncology at Fred Hutch Cancer Center, told her that a typical patient in this situation would have about nine months to live. But he also observed that she seemed remarkably strong and vital. “He said, ‘You don’t look like my normal lung cancer patient,’” said Lindsay, who had just returned from a business trip to Europe. She was 54 at the time. “He didn’t want to take away the health I had for the limited time I had to live.”
