My mother is 65 yrs old, she had a stroke back in January of this year. Before that for a good year or more she was constantly getting angry and yelling and screaming. To voices she hears and at time visiually see these people who are not there. She would not go to the doctor before January when she had her stroke but she is now seeing a general doctor but the problem with that is that she will not tell him about these voices she hears. When she was in the hospital the norologist did 2 spinal taps on her which her colestrol and white blood cells were off the charts in the 200s!! Well the norologist went on vacation and within a week my mother was sent home unable to walk from the stroke and now since then is once again walking but seems to drag her right leg a little at times. My question to you is what can be causing my mother to suffer from hearing these voices and getting angry, calm, sad, or crying Roller Coaster Ride of Emotions. She says she knows that something isnt right on the back inside of her head. I will tell you more as we speak as I am hoping this site is real.

Hello.  My other three wisdom teeth (top and bottom left) have all come in straight and I have not needed to have them removed but my lower right wisdom tooth is cutting through the gums right now and for the past 9 days, I have experienced some aching near the site.  (Nothing too severe, mostly just a dull ache.)For the past 5 days, I have had some pus oozing out from underneath the gum where the wisdom tooth is erupting.  The pain is mostly gone, but I am wondering what I can do to bring the bad-tasting/ smelling pus flow to a halt.  I do no feel the need to go to the dentist or doctor since it appears to be improving day by day.What would your suggestions be?  Do I require antibiotics for this minor infection?Thank you!

i notice that I get palpitations after driving in the car or sitting on an airplane, especially when I am travelling for more than an hour.  I first noticed that I was having palpitations when I got out of my car at work, but then had them recently after a two hour flight when I deplaned.  I tend to slouch when I sit, could my posture cause the palpitations?

I have a 13 year old daughter who has been complaining of chest pain for the last two days.

Hi my name is JoAnne and i have a history with melanoma of the brain n spinal cord. I was diagnosed when I was 25. First I had a tumor in the frontal lobe of my head yhe size of a golf ball and a small one deeper in my brain. I hhad the big one removed. the other one was gammaknifed. I had fill brainradiation chemo. 7 months later a molecule from the surgery hooked onto my spinal cord and became a small tumor that was also radiated and lasered. I had small problems after that. To make this story short . . side effects were doublevision (had surgery to tighten muscles in one eye). Went to Germany to get a vaccine amd did that for 2 and a half years. In 2012 my spinal cord had to be operated on. The tumor they just had radiation around it and had to be taken out, it was petrified and had a large cyst w small melanoma cysts. I know a lot about pain n medication. My fiance has a fractured foot from slipping on ice and they gave him pain medication. I always had a high tolerance for pain. But he was still complaining about it. He is already on high blood pressure medication, he is over weight, and he is on 2 other meds for his heart. They gave him after complaining again that he still had pain, everybody has a little pain with these things even with meds and your on bed rest. He is a sergeant major in the army. so he goes to doctor again and complains again about pain thry put him on roxicodone 1 pill every 4 hours and i do not agree that he needs that medication. He is a smoker and has not been drinking alcohol thank god. How do you feel about this pain medication for a foot fracture. I dont agree. Is this a wise choice for the doctor to be prescrbing him? this medication of course.

Hello. I have systemic lupus (calm). I usually get lab work done 1-2 times a yr. to check my kidney, etc. due to the lupus.  Three yrs. ago, June 2010 Ive been having occult blood (1) in my urine. I asked my Rheumatalogist and she said I probably took the urine test close to my period or near the end of my period and thats why it showed the occult blood, so I didnt worry anymore. This July I had my lab work done and again the occult blood (1) showed up (as it has been in the last 3 yrs.). This time however my Rheumatologist was concerned and told me to see a urologist. Because I couldnt see a urologist sooner, I went to see my family doctor. He ordered a urine test and an ultra sound of the kidney. He diagnosed me as microhematuria. When I finally saw the urologist, she ordered a urine cytology and recd that I get a cystoscopy esp. because my lab showed  occult blood (1) along with rbc 4-10 . She wanted to make sure that I dont have a bladder cancer or kidney disease so a cystoscopy needed to be done. When I did the urine test that day, I believe the cup was contaminated thats why it showed the rbc 4-10. When repeated, it didnt show rbc 4-10, but normal  rbc 0-2 (below)Results


Hi, I have been suffering from nauesea and tiredness from 3 days ago. I went to see my GP on the third day and he advised that I could suffer from peptic ulcers( which has been an answer from the past 7 times I have been to the dr). I was given meds for the ulcers as he also picked up from my allergy tests that I have a substance/ organism thats causing ulcers. Amongst my meds I also got anti-histamin and flygen to clear my urine as there was traces of blood on my urine. However, its been three days of taking the meds and I still have nausea which now includes what feels like shortness of breath and fatique during the evenings. In addition, my GP said he is bothered by the pulse on my abdomen which he found the first time during the exam for ulcers. I feel tired in the mornings, nauseous for the whole day and my chest feels a bit heavy. I still come to work as normal but the day is a bit more difficult to get through than normal. I also have a constant urge to burp but nothing ever comes up. Should I go back to my GP and ask for a referal for a gastroscope or just wait for the meds / antibiotics to finish and then go back? Regards, Worried

My mother has osteonecrosis of the jaw due to a bone strengthening drug used in the course of her chemo treatment.  She lived with it for about a year and then it broke and she had a terrible infection. 2 months a go they did major surgery and gave her a titanium partial jaw plate.  Unfortunately left a terrible scar and some deformity.  Which has me and my family blown away is that the titanium plate broke just 5 weeks after the surgery.  She had to have the same surgery over!!!!  Terrible!  Doctors said they had never seen it happen before.  What is your opinion of this happening and what can be done for the scarring.


My blood pressure has been high and fluctuating alot plus my chest has been hurting.  My doctor gave me a new bp med yesterday, but not really working.  I also have so much gas.  I also find that if I press my left armpit area under my bra, I can release a lot of gas, what should I do?


My son is having a constant headache, stomach pain, body ache, especially in his arms, bottom of his feet, legs, and neck, since last 10days. He has no fever, has good motion, no urination problem, and can eat everything. His doctor says he may be having stomach flu. She ordered all blood work, which was all normal and suggested hydrating him well. Over the counter pain medication, such as children;s Advil has not worked, nor has hot packs. I wanted to know how long it will last as it is not getting better since last 10 days and if there is something else we should be looking at, or should we just wait patiently for the flu to ride out its own course? Thank you,Anuradha kamath

i sprayed my shower stall ceiling to floor with triple concentrated bleach then covered the tub floor with a cleaner like comet. i added a little water and began scrubbing it. my eyes started tearing up severely, i wiped eyes, and went back to scrubbing, the smell was horrendously strong and my breathing was compromised. i took my head out of shower stall for a moment and again wiped eyes that i could hardly keep open by now. continued to scrub with face about 1 foot from the tub, with shower doors closed. it got to a point i could not keep eyes open and the tearing was pouring down my face. i couldn t breath, couldn t really stand up now, so crawled out of bathroom and shut the doors, in a short while. the tearing stopped but my thoat was tight and so very sore and burnig, i had wheezing when breathing. i began coughing and coughing for hours on end. i took benedryl and finally got some sleep, but now when i am awke, my lungs hurt when breathing, my whole body is sore and painful. is there a lasting results to what i did? thank you

About 4 months ago I had a filling done in my tooth. It was very sensitive for weeks and I even went back although the dentist said it looked fine when he saw it. Eventually the sensitivity went away. Then about 3 weeks ago my gum next to the filled tooth started shedding.. like if Id burnt the inside of my mouth. I assumed it must have been something I ate, but now three weeks later it is an open space that I can actually feel my tooth through. There is no pain, but because of the holidays I havent been able to get into the dentist. Will be trying to get in tomorrow, but Im hoping someone here can give me an idea of what Im looking at...

I recently got off my depo shit. I stopped taking it in December and finally got my period in December. I have been having unprotected sex. I missed my period and have been experiencing minor cramping, lots of gas, eating a lot, light headaches here and there, long naps during the day, difficulty getting comfortable at night to sleep, slightly sore nipples, I had light bleeding about 2 weeks ago, shortness of breath at some times as well. Could I be pregnant even though I just got off depo


My brother who is 47 has not been to a doctor in 15 years. He just finally found a primary care physician last month and went for blood work. His results came back that he is diabetic and per the doctor he has been diabetic for a long time, his kidney test results were off as well. In addition his PSA came back at 17, his Dr. told him this is high and need to see a urologist and they set him up for an urgent appt which is a month from now. I have done research online and everything that I am reading is stating that 17 is not a good number at all. I am concerned because if it is an indication of cancer, a month is too long for him to just sit around and wait. Could this number be high for another reason?

My daughter who is 10 yrs old has been suffering frm viral fever since 2 days. Initially her temp was 102.5 F but in 24 hrs increased to 104 F. If i keep her only on crocin the fever doesn t subside even after 4 hrs ( alongwith sponging) but if i keep her on crocin ds 9ml nd ibugesic plus 6ml then only the fever comes down . I need to repeat this then after approx 10 - 12 hrs. Am i doing the right thing? I sometimes fear as many say the two med should not b given together but this only works for my daughter. Also she has recurrent fever every month or two which lasts for 3-4 days but subsides without an antibiotic. Pls suggest.

hi...my mother has been detected with a gallstone (22mm)..she decided to go in for its removal...but just a day prior to the operation her test results showed high levels of SGOT (364) , SGPT (449) and alkaline phosphatase(617)...so she was put on a 7 day antibiotic course after which also these levels remained rather high..SGOT (234) ,SGPT (320) and alkaline phosphatase(883). Now the operation has been put off till these levels reduce and the doctors have asked her to avoid painkillers and antibiotics...but she has been experiencing acute abdominal pain ...can the gall bladder not be removed with such high levels ?? thank you


Hi, I have had a series of twitches that have been bothering me for the past few months and I am nervous that they might be symptomatic of something serious. They started around my eyes and nose but they appear to have subsided for the time being. I am mostly concerned about my left thumb which, when resting, seems to twitch persistently. This twitching has lasted a couple of months. I have no loss of strength that I have noticed although there is a mild discomfort in my forearm , wrist , and fingers. I have repeatedly been to my GP who doesn t think that my symptoms require further investigation. My GP tells me that it is probably a case of nerve irritation, hyper-excitability, or BFS. Should I persist in trying to get a firmer diagnosis or trust that it is probably benign? Cheers

Hello,My father in law has gone through liver transplant two years back. He was doing quite well and was very stable through out this 2 years. However, now his result shows high SGPT, SGOT and GGPT.Could you please help what is going wrong here?Many thanks,Sanchita


Hi, I used to consider this a major problem and was very fearful of it becoming known by others. I have autophagia. A self diagnosis, so I m not sure if it s legit. I compulsively chew off and eat any callus that forms on my body. Having done so since I was around 5-6 I now have a ready supply of thick skin all over my hands and feet. I also compulsively eat my lips. It seems to be prompted by a variety of things. First and foremost is hunger, then comes anxiety, boredom, stress and finally loneliness. As i said, In recent years having exposed some friends to my behaviour I m no longer fearful of talking about it. I m concerned if this form of pica will damage me over the long term. I m 24 now and haven t experienced any side effects apart from the gradual sharpening of my teeth. Also considering the fact that my calluses have grown in size, the appearance of my hands and feet are rather grotesque. So ultimately i want to be able to stop this behaviour, any advice?

Hello, I am a very avid cyclist and I recently just had what i felt like a heart attack was after a nice and easy ride. I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with viral myocarditis. I was there for five days due to very high white blood cell count as well as troponin at a level of 1.8. I did all the test echo... cardio mri, and everything came back with no sign of inflammation or trama. They found trace amounts of the anti-bodies that combat strep; therefor they believe it is the viral myocarditis. They told me i could go back to sport at any point just listen to your body . I have been reading many articles they say i could do sever damage if I return to early. I miss my sport but do not want to do any damage. Do you have any suggestions? I also use cannabis as prescribed back medication they also said this should not matter but i want a second opinion. I have seen articles that are starting to link cannabis use to heart problems. Thank you!


yes please.....I am a 60 year old female.  For the past 2 days I have been getting chills and fever in the evenings.  Also pressure in my pelvic area.

I have a strange pain in my xiphoid process area. It hurts to raise my arms, take deep breaths, lay on my back, stretch with my arms up and out. I can feel the pain constantly whether sitting or standing or lying down. It s pretty much feeling like I got punched in the chest all the time. I am certain it is not breast related. My ribs do not hurt except for that particular area. I cannot wear a bra or anything that will slightly squeeze the area as it causes a constant pain that feels like the area is a constant cramp. If i stand too long I get relief from hunching over as stretching the area just plainly feels like torture. In fact that s how I discovered the lump between my ribs. I have long hair so I put it up a lot and it s been painful to lift my arms to put it in a ponytail. I have noticed this pain for a while now. (Months) I ignored it because I blamed it on my back and the herniated discs I have. Three right around where my bra fastens in the back and three on the bottom L3-4 through L5-S1. Now it it unignorably painful and I realize it has nothing to do with my back. It feels like a tight gripping constant cramp in the middle of my chest right in my xiphoid process area. There s been no trauma or injury or explainable cause for this pain. There is a noticeable bump mostly hard it s about 3 or so inches long. I can t tell how wide. I ve had xrays and an ultrasound done within the last week and other than a small bit of fat on my liver (thats been there at least the last 16 years) there s nothing out of the ordinary to cause any concern. My doc has ordered a ct with contrast scan.im starting to feel like I am crazy but I m 100% certain I am in pain 24/7. I guess I m looking for any clues as to what the cause of the pain is. Feeling like I have been punched in the chest all the time is really uncomfortable. Any insight is much appreciated!

I have dark patches on my collarbone. It started over a year ago, after I had prickly heat in that area ... Initially there was one small discolouration on one side, and after a few months, there was a very small patch on the other side.

I had mirena for over a year and just had it removed 4 weeks ago because I was having abdominal discomfort for 3 weeks prior to removing it. I was spotting and cramping for 2 weeks and I hadn t bled for 8 months before that. I had unprotected sex the night before the spotting occurred because the coming fell off.. I tested for pregnancy 4 weeks ago and it was negative, and I am still having abdominal cramping and discomfort without the mirena. I don t know what is going on with my body but I m concerned. I keep thinking of std s, pregnancy, or something that occurred from the mirena...

I am transplant kidney recipient and am immunosuppressed . I had a pneumonia shot 2years ago which attacked my 3rd valve in my heart and started to reject my kidney ,and I am still a working on a long recovery. Main problem now is bp medication I have tried all 4 categories of meds and had no luck with any lots of side effects . I have been on bisoprolol hydraralazine minoxidil since jan Now extreme short of breath fatigue all of the symptoms. No good Also prior to the shot I was on novasc for 11years and had some swelling in the legs I tried Novasc again after the heart failure but the symptoms were even worse with swelling up to the Thighs. Diuretics did not work well as I was up a3-4 times-a night and not urinating properly during the day. I I have been on azathioprmine,methaldopa, norvasc in the past 2years and nothing has been tolerated properly. From jan of last year to nov I had severe bladder infection and had to be on antibiotics for bladder infection. Maybe that is a reason why The meds did not work. I do not know. Today the specialist tells me there is no other blood pressure pills In the 4 categories as I have tried them all and have had too many side effects or it did not lower my BP. I have to find one to live with, either with side effects such as major headaches brain fog, severe edema, tingling shakes etc. ahhhhhh I have lived without my own kidneys for 40 years now been on dialysis and have had 2 transplants. Now I need to find a bp pill and live with the side effect but I do not know which med to take, I am on cyclosporine,I urbane, prednisone Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have a glossophyrangeal neuralgia that has broken through the Neurontin/gabapentin mask. I can not seem to get it back under the medicinal mask and the pain is excruciating. Are there any new medications that will expedite a recovery from the pain. I was taking Norco but stopped and went through withdrawal so I prefer not to use another addictive drug. This is the first time I have tried this and did not realize that there is charge. I can not believe that I took the time to type all of this information and was duped into thinking that I was going to get a free on line answer regarding the medicine or any new procedures to relieve the pain. boo hoo I think we should be warned up front that there is a charge for the service.

I went to the dentist 2 days ago due to pain/itching in the gums between my implant and molar. The onset of the pain was 3 days prior to my appointment. The implant was done 2 years ago and I had this same pain at one point during the process for which the dentist prescribed an antibiotic and it resolved.  The night before my appointment, I noticed my gums were painful in my entire mouth (something Ive never experienced).  The morning of my appt, my gums were so painful that I mentioned I wanted to forgo the routine cleaning I was to have in addition to having my dentist check the gum pain at my implant.  My x-ray proved no infection at the implant and I had the cleaning.  I have very little plaque buildup and take very good care of my teeth regularly.  My dentist mentioned enamel wear due to bruxism but didnt feel it necessary to prescribe a splint.  Since the exam and cleaning 2 days ago, my gums are so painful that brushing and flossing are very painful as well as eating.  I woke from sleep at 2 am and my gums were extremely painful and it was excruciating to clench my teeth together.  The teeth pain was a new symptom.  In the 2 hours that Ive been awake, the tooth pain has greatly subsided, but the gum pain remains.  Also, my submanibular lymph nodes on both sides are very tender.  I see no rash or discoloration in my gums/mouth.  One last comment

I had a panic attack a couple of days ago at night during sleep. I thought I was having a heart attack but I wasnt sweating. After a couple of hours, the panic went away. However, I still have sudden attack, minor than the first night. Ive been managing it though I am concern, especially the lightheadness. It goes away when I lie down for sleep, but comes back when I get out of bed. I told my dad of this and he said it was just anxiety and it will eventually go away. I lost my mom last year & I quit my job, so I assume its built up stress thats causing these panic attacks. Well, I hope. Should I get checked out?

Havent taken any medicine because Ive had such a bad upset stomach.  I went to my dentist today as Ive had some major dental work done in the last six months.  He took xra ys & found nothing,  Told me to go to my medical doctor so I called but he is out till Monday afternoon & this being Friday, his office told me to go to the ER.  I did.  I was told I have a Salivary Gland Stone.  They did a CT which did not show it as they believe it is deep into my carotid artery & cannot be seen.  Now they gave me an Rx for an antibiotic & told me to go see an ENT.  Do you have any suggestions as to what this might be and why it is so difficult to diagnose?

But without dye due to allergic reaction. My creatinine level is 0.9 and gfr was in normal range. I am worried the ct scan was not accurate enough is all. what do you think?
