I am coughing intermittently for about 5 months now, is this an allergy?

I am coughing intermittently for about 5 months now, my doctor advised me to get an allergy test done. Which I did.
The IGE immunoglobin serum test which I made came back with a value of 515 and the laboratory reference value is <65. Does this mean I have allergies- that I am allergic to something? I would like to know if this indicates that there is a problem with me? What do I need to do now? Is there medication that I need to take? I am a 35 year old woman. I never had any problems before. Don't take any medication whatsoever. Please let me know as soon as possible. Thanking you and your team ahead of time. Regards (...)

My son was diagnosed with Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma – Primary Mediastima : abnormal non mass like circumferential mucosal hyperdensity present?


Hi, my 17 year old son was diagnosed with Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma – Primary Mediastima last August. He went through a 6 cycle regimen of r-chop and completed in Jan. He had a PET/CT scan done in Feb which showed the cancer had decreased enough to claim success (went from 9.5 X 5.9 cm and nodes in lung, neck & armpit to 3.9 X 2.8 cm with nodes gone). He went back in for a CT scan in May and they found no real difference in the mass measurement but they did find in the mediastinum an “abnormal non mass like circumferential mucosal hyperdensity present in the esophagus throughout the thorax, most conspicuously in the region of the thoraci inlet and upper mediastinum, significantly increased compared to prior scan”. My question is, would this concern you? Would you want to do any follow up tests? Do you believe it is heartburn (my son has no symptoms of heartburn)? Given his history of cancer is there a chance this is related to cancer or even cancer again?

I cannot remember old things as well as things I’ve done three days ago?

I believe I have a bad memory and I noticed that I’m very forgetful. I will list a few incidents that happened to me: I was once handed a paper in which I was asked to write all of my classmates names and I could not remember my friend’s last name eventually I had to pass that paper to someone else as I was incapable of remembering. I take a lot of time to memorize but I easily forget it all. My friend’s remember things I’ve said and done that I myself do not remember. Above all when I try to recollect my memories and try to remember them clearly i cannot it is as if a cloud was inside my brain preventing me from remembering things clearly, It feels blurry it’s a weird feeling I cannot put in words but I just cannot seem to collect my memory properly. I cannot remember old things as well as things I’ve done three days ago. It does not mean I have forgotten everything but it’s as if I forget more than anyone around me. Please help me. I am not stressed as of now And I do not have diabetes I do not suffer from any illness But I do have allergy and I have anxiety but do not suffer from it on regular basis.

I have a strange condition that makes me cramp up like a seizure?

Hello my name is (…) and I have a strange condition that makes me cramp up like I have a Seizure but its not a seizure, a stroke that isn’t a stroke and a heart attack that isn’t a heart attack. My arms and legs get numb, my leg get heavy for me and I really cant feel my left arm. Most of my body gets numb particularity my left side but now it has started reaching my right side and it hurts. I also have a sensitivity to light with my eyes and a very strange temperature awareness or lack of it many times. Its getting worse slowly and I don’t know the cause or how to stop it and there has been nothing that has been diagnosed, my question is is it one thing or different things mixed together that ended up hiding everything else causing all my tests to come back negative? I need answers in any way possible so maybe one day i can start living life again.
