I was diagnosed with hepatitis when I went to the er for extreme flu symptoms. I had already stopped drinking at that point because of been so sick with the flu. The Dr only caught the hepatitis as I was about to leave. He said it should be monitored. So my question is, would they have seen that I have cirrhosis at that point? It says hepatitis on the discharge papers. Does that mean that I don’t have cirrhosis? I hope you understand my question. Lol

My mom recently had an MRI done to check for inner ear issues. Nothing was found…..with that. However, the MRI showed “mild to moderate subcortical vessel disease (SVD)”. What does this mean? I’ve tried to do some reading online. Does this mean she has vascular dementia? Or any kind of dementia? She has symptoms of, mood changes, saying inappropriate things (like just coming across as rude), repeating the same story 2 or 3 times within a 48 hour period, gait changes…smaller stride, urinary incontinence, dizziness like feel all of the time.She’s healthy otherwise no diabetes, she did have a slightly high blood pressure but has been on medication for years. So, does she only have SVD? From the way I read it online, because she has those symptoms, she has the type of dementia that goes with SVD. I can’t get her to a neurologist until late February and I am very worried about her. Please help.

Hi. I had one toe run over by a heavy baby stroller, (the right big toe) . However, in the past few days I have developed blood under the left big toe nail too. The traumatic injury was about 9 days ago and the other tow started hurting about 3 days ago.
Could these be just traumatic injuries or possibly something else? Luckily I have some time off to heal, but if it needs intervention , better now that later, as I go to (—–) January 7th.

I Have had a fever for 5 Days 104 – 104.5 degrees . I suspect it may be caused by a tooth infection since my gums are swollen and has minor tooth pain .Two weeks ago I also had a recent stomach ulcer surgery procedure and a follow up scope last week. Should I wait it out or do I need to go to hospital and get IV antibiotics and make sure the Stomach repair is not causing the high fever.

Over the past year I suffer from intermittent pelvic pain. I had a ultrasound quite some time ago that showed I have hemorrhagic cysts located on my ovaries. i have had these cysts throughout my adult life so that doesn’t worry me but the pelvic pain does. Please tell me what can be causing this pain I experience.

I’m a 49 year old born male who for over 30 years has believed I was born in the wrong body. After a few purges of clothes I have started buying clothes and appx 1 month ago started buying moisturising cream (olay) and had and nail cream (elizabeth arden) and started using them.
I also bought Natures own Fenugreek tablets, Cenovis Women’s Hair, Skin & Nails tablets and Cenovis Prostrate Health Saw Palmetto 3200 tablets
I had read that these herbs assist in the development and growth of breasts and I felt I needed to do that.
After 3 weeks I noticed I was getting an occasional headache and having some blackhead pimple breakouts on my chest, neck and face. I stopped taking the tablets and using the creams last Friday and have had more breakouts and have had some severe headaches. My left breasts is slightly bigger but my right remains unchanged.
On Monday night I had a dream about speaking to my elderly mother about transitioning(as the reaction from my family has been the thing that has stopped me doing anything due to their religious & homophobic views)when I woke up in the morning and went to the bathroom I had an attack. I saw myself in the mirror, froze, started crying uncontrollably and then tried to find a knife to remove my penis as I hate it and always have. There were no knives in bathroom and when i left the bathroom to go to kitchen to get one i just fell in a heap on the floor of the bedroom crying and I didn’t go any further with that (I can say now thankfully, as I don’t want to self harm).
Would the combination of tablets and removing myself from them have contributed to this episode and do the tablets or the creams account for the pimple breakouts?
I’d like to continue taking the tablets and I feel I have to transition to be happy but am concerned that these may not be the best thing if it would cause future episodes like this. Are these tablets safe to continue ad would the creams be causing the breakouts, if so what should i do?
thanks for your help

I had overused a penile pump over 5 days 10 days ago and my penis is still cold and not sensitive to the touch. The color is kind of pale. It isn’t responding for any erection. It is limp. Will it recover? Should I be worried? Thank you for the help.

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.
