My 2 year old daughter cannot walk, doctors baffled?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

My daughter turned 2 recently and she is finding it extremely difficult walking by her self, however she is able to stand with support and is able to walk using objects like tables or chairs. I have taken her to a few doctors who seem baffled, she has very poor lower limb movement and strength. The size of her lower limb are disproportionate to her upper body, she has no muscle mass in her legs and they may have begun to atrophy? she also has hypermobility in her knees which is also affecting her lower limbs, and walking.
Tests completed:
1. Nerve conduction Studies: very poor results in legs.
2. MRI Spine (under G.A) did not find anything.
3. Blood tests all good!

What do these Spirometry test results mean? …last resort!

Posted on by — 5 Comments ↓

I am reaching out as a LAST RESORT…..I cannot get a straight answer regarding the results of my spirometry test. Values were as follows: FEV1 3,07, predicted 3.06;% predicted, 100%; FVC 4.49, predicted 4.07; % predicted, 110%; FEV1/FVC, 68%.

I am a 61 year old male, 66 inches tall, weight 153 lbs……

My question is this…..if FEV1 is 100% of predicted, and FVC is 110% of predicted, should not these values enter in to a diagnosis of COPD??….( which is what my PCP said that I have).

….my understanding is that FEV1 is as important a number as the ratio….and isn’t FEV1 MORMAL?!?….

…..the report said “normal diffusing capacity (DLCO” and “normal lung volumes”.

I’m frightened and baffled at the same time!…..I have no respiratory symptoms, and run 15-20 miles per week (11-min. miles).

ANY insight would be appreciated!

Thank you!

I have had 5 episodes of what I thought was food poisoning, please advise?

Posted on by — 5 Comments ↓

I’m having a second episode of a problem that 1st occurred 10 months ago. Started with moderate/ severe pain in the groin with reduced urine flow and swelling of the vaginally tunnel. Pain felt like squeezing in left side like something might bust. It turned excruciating with me screaming in pain. I went to ER. They referred me to gynecologist. Pain levels went up and down but never left. Doctor did all tests including exploratory with no results. I was put on doxycycline for 3 weeks. It worked. Since then I have had 5 episodes of what I thought was food poisoning. But really, 5 times, not likely. Starts with no warning, no ill feeling, no stomach pain, then diarrhea and then awhile after vomiting. For about 8 hours. Then I’m weak but fine. Currently I’ve been treating myself. I started with a liquid diet for 3 days and bactrim (what I have available). Pain eased alot but now is coming back strong on left side. I can point to the small but excruciating spot. What do you think?

I am having problems with heartburn, how can I make it stop?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

My name is (…) 43 years old. Male. Living in (…) I am slightly obese and had a H. pylori Infection 4 years back with a new Streptococcus infection 30 days ago. Treated by antibiotics. My blood work is pretty good except for the blood work I have had done recently which shows that my cholesterol is at 5.6 and bilirubin levels up. My specialist doctor says I may be susceptible to Gilbert’s syndrome. I am a very very big eater and usually have minor constipation and slight problems digesting with heartburn and bloating issues. What can I do to make this stop? Are these problems interrelated?

I suffer from a Vocal Cord Dysfunction, my vocal cords constrict…can’t breath?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

I am a 39 yr old male, and I have a question about Vocal Cord Dysfunction, that I suspect I may be suffering from.
I have read that the standard discription of VCD is that when you have a bout of it, you can’t breath for up to half a minute.
My problem is that every once in a while my vocal cords constrict, upon inhaling, but only for about half a second. Can this also be a symptom of Vocal Cord Dysfunction? My throat usually gets tight just before, and suddenly my throat (vocal cords) close up for a short moment. I can there after breath normally. It isn’t something that scares me, but it’s very irritating and frustrating not knowing what it is and what causes it. Thank you! God bless!

Question: I am 50 years old, doctor says no need for contraception?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

Hello, I am 50 years old, my 2 last periods were 6 months apart and very light – spotty. blood test – TSH 4.26; t4-free 1.0; FSH 81.5; Prolactin 11; Estradiol (E-2) 24.67. I had my IUD (one with no hormones – NovaT) removed last week after 10 years of use (5 years each time) and am not taking any sort of hormone therapy. my gynecologist said I don’t need any form of contraception any more.
I would like a second opinion…Given this background information, would you reach the same conclusion, that I no longer need contraceptives of any kind?

My granddaughter has an awful sore, doctor doesn’t know what it was?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

My granddaughter came over for the weekend with this awful sore on her side. Her parents said they took her to the doctor and were told that they didn’t know what it was to put antibiotic cream on it. You should be able to see the small red dot next to the big sore. That red dot is starting to look like the other one. Any ideas on what it could be?

I have diabetes and feel light headed almost every day, what is wrong?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

I have diabetes and take medication. Often every day I feel kind of light headed. I also get – at times – a kind of shaky feeling. When that happens I usually head towards the fridge to have some juice and eat some food asap. As soon as I eat or drink I start to feel better. What is wrong? Is this a diabetic reaction? Please advise.
