I am suffering extreme right arm muscle pain when I try to raise my arm over and above right shoulder.
Can hardly put any weight on it without suffering. tried different treatments with virtually no positive effect.
Tried steroid injections, advil, anti inflammation pills. Just wondering what this may be and what to do?
I suffer from Generalized Anxiety Disorder and am having multiple severe panic attacks a day. I am currently taking Zoloft 100mg which isn’t making a difference. But on top of that I’ve been becoming significantly more fatigued and exhausted during the day doing day to day tasks. I’ve been gaining weight and am struggling to shed the kilos I’ve put on.
My question is could my multiple panic attacks a day be causing adrenal fatigue?

General Information: Diagnosed with major depression and generalised anxiety disorder March 2017.
I had a CT of my chest and abdomen. I was injected intravenously with iodine contrast twice. The next day I was having constant palpitations, my heart felt like it was racing and bogged down. I was short of breath and lightheaded, I also felt a weird pressure in the arteries in my neck. I was having mood swings and very stressed and depressed. This was constant for a week and a few episodes the next week. This week, the third week seems to be more frequent. I read that iodine contrast can trigger hyperthyroidism, since they injected me twice I think it is probably the case. How long will this last and do I just wait it out? It feels awful. I emailed my Dr and she just said to drink a lot of water to flush it out, I don’t see how that can help.

For the past three years I have had long term exposure to low/medium levels of hydrogen sulfide due to improper ventilation that sucked sewer gases into my apartment, but only recently found out about this problem and fixed it. During this time I have experienced numbness, dizziness, tingling, muscle cramps etc. and now ascribe that to the sewer gas, which is known to cause such problems. I now also experience fasciculations, up until last week mostly in the hypothenar of the left hand. After that had gone on for approx. three weeks there appeared an indent in that muscle. I noticed about a week ago that legs appear thinner than usual, and since about a week I now have fasciculations in the legs. These fasciculations appear sporadically in small defined areas, usually one twitch in a certain area of one leg followed rapidly by another twitch in another area, etc. at a rapid pace, and it is usually worse when sitting. I still have the cramps and numb/tingling sensations. Please note that I have not been worried about serious diseases during the development of these symptoms, so they cannot be caused by anxiety. I have read that hydrogen sulfide exposure may cause nerve damage and even ALS, and I am now (again, only *now*) scared to death that this is what I have. I see no point in seeing a neurologist since if I have it there is no cure. I would just like to know what you make of the symptoms.

I have been experiencing flu symptoms for over a week and am concerned about how long this will last. I have missed 7 days of work. First 4 days I spent in bed with chills, congestion, head and body aches, cough, not eating. Then for about 3 days continued congestion, productive cough, chills/sweats. Still very sick but not as sick as the first 4 days. I now feel worse again past 2 days and this morning. Cough worse, headache, chest congestion, and fatigue today. No difficulty breathing. I have not been in to see my physician. Clinic is overloaded and i have no insurance. We are treating with rest, fluids and cold/cough medicine. Initially was told duration could be 1-2 weeks. Wondering what to expect next!! Because I’m not getting better, I’m getting worse.
THANK you

First is dizziness and nausea with occasional balance issues. Worse when lying down and moving head different directions. Blurry vision getting worse. Severe fatigue and weaknesses throughout body. Shortness of breath when bending over. Not sleeping well. Also very concerned about lymph nodes being swollen. Especially in my groin on both sides. Never had this happen before. They are swollen and tenderness to touch. Also painful at times like when I move my legs a certain way. They have been this way for at least 4 weeks. Haven’t went away at all, just seem to be getting worse.Lastly, I have lumps appearing all over my body. Some I’ve had for years but a lot of new ones are popping up everywhere. Some are growing, some are painful when touched or when I move. I recently found a lump in my right breast. I’m in a lot of pain all over my body. I feel so tired and hurt and feel weak almost everyday. My hands and legs go numb. I can’t find a doctor who will listen to me. One other thing, sometimes I have urinary retention problems. Its hard to urinate and empty bladder completely. Most of these things I have been complaining about for the past 4 years. Everything is getting worse. I don’t know what to do.

I have always had a problem with fluid retention and take medicine for it. Last summer I started having a rapid pulse for no obvious reason. Since I have hypothyroidism my doctor lowered my dose of medicine. That worked for a short time but then the rapid post came back so again my dose of medicine was lowered. This happened three times and I was referred to an endocrinologist who felt that the lower dose I was on was appropriate. Now my rapid pulse has returned. I did some research and learned that if I was dehydrated it would also cause a rapid pulse. Since I am tired all the time and unable to lose weight I am concerned that my thyroid medicine does is not correct. My problem may stem from dehydration as it seems every time I am admitted to the hospital for some other reason I am told I am dehydrated. I am 77 years old and have CLL and am on Imbruvica for that plus many other medical problems including stage three kidney disease. Is it correct that I could be retaining fluid while at the same time being dehydrated. I try to drink as much fluid as I can but obviously it must not be enough. I am afraid if I go to my doctor they are just going to lower the thyroid medicine again and if they do that I will probably be sleeping 20 hours a day due to tiredness.

I went to the washroom and urinated blood for a second. Then blood stopped and I continued to urinate normal like. What can this be? Is this because I have an enlarged prostate?

Hello, I’m writing about red rashes along one side of my butt and scrotum that I’ve had for around a week. They are painful but not severe and itchy but not as bad as a mosquito bite. You can get a better idea by looking at the photo attached. Also I’m celibate so know its not an STD, and no trauma, travel, or anything out of the ordinary has happened. Any idea whats going on? Also please respond to my email and keep confidential not posting online or to others. Thank you.
