My friend has immunodeficiency, can’t eat, doctors say depression, any advice?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

have a friend who has immunodeficiency, and is a vegetarian. A month ago she started eating and every time she does eat she throws it back up immediately which makes her not want to eat, but she can drink liquids fine. She’s been to the doctor and they told her it’s depression and that’s not it at all. Can you guys figure what’s happening and how to fix it? I’m really worried because she’s developed really bad fatigue and I fear there are going to be worse symptoms. Any advice would help, thank you.

Could this be oral gonorrhea or any type of STD?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

I am a 20 year old female. I have been with the same partner for almost 4 years now. We both are our first & only sexual partners. I’m usually really aware of my health. And sometime last month, I discovered red cobblestone bumps on my pharynx. I noticed it 2 days after I performed oral on my partner, but we usually do it all the time. My period is also 2 days late but we only performed oral sex & no intercourse. They do not hurt at all. I also had some burning in my gum and tongue but that went away in a week. At first when I breathed, my pharynx felt irritating, but I had no trouble swallowing food. I got really worried so I was referred to an ENT doctor, he said it was just reflux laryngitis since he examined it with an endoscopy. So he prescribed me amoxicillin for 7 days which helped a little but the bumps never went away. Sometimes, I would experience bad chills with no fever at all especially when I sleep. They would come back one day & another day, I would feel normal. I also noticed one white small tonsil stone above one of my tonsils. Could this be oral gonorrhea or any type of STD?

My mother is type II diabetic, woke up with marks under her right breast?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

My mother is 52 and lives in Western Sydney, NSW Australia. She is a type 2 diabetic and takes pills to lower her blood sugar, no other meds. She is also an alcoholic and spent most of last night at home, black-out drunk. Today she woke up with these marks on her right breast — they look like cuts but they don’t hurt and she has no blood on her bra or clothes. She likes to garden and I’m afraid it might be a spider or snake bite, but it has been 24 hours since they likely appeared and she feels fine. Any clue what they could be?

I have a reaction from the flu shot I received?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

I caught a cold from my toddler as both colds and hand foot and mouth are circulating at her school. I was sneezing, fever, runny nose, raw throat and a sore on my lip. Towards the end of my cold I got a flu shot given at the hospital I work at. THat evening when I went to bed I noted the backs of my knees were sore. When I woke up the next day and for 4 days now since I have had a sunburn like in appearance and burning feel rash behind my knees and to a milder extent the bends of my arms. I have never had any symptoms other than maybe generalized malaise after flu vaccination. Last year I got the flu shot while being treated for bronchitis and was fine. Could this be dermatitis from a reaction to the flu vaccine? How long do these rashes take to resolve?

I have bacterial vaginosis, my partner has gonoccocal urethritis, I’m really worried?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

Before I had several sexual partners but as of now I only have one partner. My partner was diagnosed with ngu (non gonoccocal urethritis) because he was experiencing yellowish-green discharge. I went to have myself checked and I was diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis. I was prescribed metronidazole forte a vaginal suppository (1 suppository a night for 7 days). My partner was also prescribed meds and took an anti-gonorrhea injection. When I went back to my ob-gyne she said I was already cured. When my partner and I had intercourse without condom, it was very painful for me. I went to another ob-gyne and I was diagnosed with vulvovaginitis and uti because of my high wbc count in my urinalysis. She prescribed Cefuroxime 500 mg (2x a day with an interval of 12hrs for 1 week) and Travocort Cream (2x application within a day). My partner told me that his ngu came back because he noticed he had yellowish-green stains again and he’s also taking his meds. I’m done with my medications and will soon visit my ob-gyne again for a follow up check up. I just want to know if my past bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginitis and uti has caused my partners ngu? I’m really worried because he has ngu for the second time now and I don’t know if it is because of me. Would like to hear from you asap! Thank you.

I developed an allergy to fruits/vegetables, told I have Oral Allergy Syndrome?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

I am a 34 year old female. About 6 years ago I developed an allergy to apples, cherries and strawberries. Then, about 3 years later, I developed new allergies to more fruits/veggies, as well as to certain spices. So I kinda play it safe and avoid eating out. I prefer homemade foods. Anyway, almost a year ago I seen an allergist and was told I had OAS. Mainly to birch but I was allergic to tree and grass pollen. My question is that if my food allergies are due to my OAS does that mean that I do not have a ‘true allergy to the particular food(s). For example, I have noticed that eating wheat (bread), makes my throat feel a little swollen immediately and the effect will last a few minutes, although mild itch occurs within an hour or so. Will these allergies progress and possibly cause an anaphylaxis shock. Also, if I was to treat OAS with the shots, does that mean that my food allergies will go away too?

I have mycosis, never had sexual relations but am getting married…I’m embarrassed?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

I’m a 28 years old female -from Algeria, Africa- and I’ve been suffering from what it’s been diagnosed as a mycosis in my intimate area since the age of 14. I went to a specialist twice when I was a teenager, but now I’m too shy and embarrassed to let anyone see this part of my body, so every time it appears I just take what the doctors prescribed me: Saforelle Gentle Cleansing Care and Mycocide (an antifungal that contains Triamcinolone,Néomycine and Nystatine). When I apply the cream for a week the swollen spots get better but the dark “things” on my lips (I can’t tell which ones minor or major) never went away. I’m too scared to know the truth about my condition but I can’t stay indifferent anymore. What I noticed during all those years is that it gets worse when I take antibiotics to treat other minor health problems. For the record, I clean this area with water everytime I use the toilet and with soap once a day. I also never had any sexual contact or relations in my life, but I got recently engaged and I’m frightened to let my fiancé get close to me.

I don’t have a camera but I’ll try to take a picture of it if necessary. Please, help me.

All my regards
