Hello,
My husband and I have been trying to conceive for the last 4 months. The last 2-3 months I have had breast pain (mostly on my right breast but some on the left, feeling more deep in the tissue and closer to the side of my breast). I have also had dull pressure on my ovaries that comes and goes; mostly on the right but some on the left. I went to the gynecologist recently and she did an exam of both without any concern. I currently take a prenatal about two months ago started taking an iron supplement and fish oil supplement. I have also noticed increased hair loss and I have always been one who is always tired (I am not pregnant)???

My mother has Acute Lymphocytes Leukemia – may have had a leukemiod reaction?
My mother has been diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytes Leukemia in the B cell in August (we got her a bone marrow biopsy) and the blood film was detecting 65% blasts in her white blood cells . She didn’t take any treatments but cortisone since then. and when we got her CBC last week, it was all in the normal range.
Her white blood count was 7, though it was 52 when we first checked her CBC. And the blasts went from 65% to 20%.
We did a Philadelphia chromosome gene test and it was negative.
And I’d like to add that she don’t have any physical symptoms or tiredness! Is it possible that she had a leukemiod reaction?!

I suffer from fatigue and body pain for 2 years… is it STDs or cancer?
Hi Doc,
I am a 28 yr old male, for the past 2 years experiencing various symptoms like Fatigue, Body Pain & Bumps. My major & frequent symptom is fatigue & body pain, initially this occurred 3 to 6 months once but now it’s like once in every month. Once the symptoms start to hit I will feel very tired and whole body will be in pain like I am going to have fever, it will continue until a week and goes off after that no use even if I take paracetamol it will remain for 1 week and goes off itself. Beginning I thought I had some fever but the hospital I visited mentioned my temperature is normal, I had consulted one or more doctors who had concluded me that it’s because of STRESS. I have been tested for CBC (Full blood test), Thyroid, Ultrasonic for kidneys, VDRL, Hepatitis and even HIV where all turned out to be normal. More than once & in different period of time I got tested for WBC where the doctors said I have no infection and all my counts are normal. For record I had sex with protection in the past.
Over the past 2 months I managed to change my lifestyle like extending my hours of sleep to 7 & half hours to 8 hours (Before I used to sleep only 6 hours max.) and working out my body 5 days a week. But still I am experiencing the symptoms more often unlike before as the fatigue & body pain now started to occur twice in a month. I am totally confused & annoyed and no idea in what direction I should move forward like should I continue to look out for more tests on STD types of diseases or else should I test for cancer or any other tests. Kindly be advised.

Growth under my tongue, varies in size when I eat?
So i’ve had this “ball” under my tongue, on the roof of my lower mouth, and i’ve had this for like 2-3 months maybe more, it does not hurt. it just is there. but whenever i eat a lot the ball grows a bit and becomes hard, and then after a while if i have not eaten anything, it will return to normal, being soft and little smaller. i showed it to my doctor and he said he did not knew what it was. so maybe or hopefully you can help me. I’ve had cancer before, it was called Hodkins lymphoma i think. but according to the doctor im done with the cancer for some years ago.
Question: My mom has shingles…can she transmit it to me?
Hi my mom was told she had Shingles, how contagious is it? I’m assuming skin to skin contact only? Can you get it from just being in the same room? I read that anyone who never had Chicken Pox can get it from someone with Shingles, but can someone who had Chicken Pox transfer it to another who never had it as a carrier?
Question: There are worms under my skin and along my belly
I can see worms around 4-6 inches possibly longer under my skin, they are seen on the sides of my belly and seem to be slowly moving up. Either I’m loosing my mind and think I feel pain in my abdomen, with slight stinging sensations where the worms are currently or its reality and I’m infested. I went to the ER, but it took hours upon hours to see anyone(which I never did) so I went to the Walk-in Clinic instead. Well the nurses were baffled and showing each other the picture, even wanted our number so we could keep them updated because at least one enjoyed herself immensely. I did not.
I was prescribed the usual ant-parasitic meds that I can’t afford and my government crappy insurance won’t pay for. I was recommended to buy over the counter cheaper meds, apparently all the meds are for Pin Worms, I did that even though I don’t have Pin Worms.
Took the meds last night and even a bunch of minced garlic(heard parasites die from garlic).
So…This morning I wake up to see more than the one I saw the morning before, and on the opposite side of me. Doctors I have called and at different hospital’s tell me the same thing, take the medicine and basically without actually saying it, the type of worms your describing are exotic and very rare, they are not in the U.S. blah blah blah!. Apparently I’m suppose to sit her until they get into my lungs and brain(if not there already) and freak out. Now I hope it all in my head and the worms are not worms but one can only hope. Where do I get help from someone who will take this seriously?
Question: Abscess between my legs, taking antibiotics….what next?
I had an abscess between my legs upper part, it took 3-4 days and then is was very large , a circle about 5cm /2 inches in diameter and protruded, also a red streak developed about 4-5 cm going away from the center of abscess.
From day 2 I started antibiotic and started applying fucidine and then fucicort by day 4 ..
I knew I had to go to the hospital and open it but I was traveling and had urgent matters so I delayed it. By day 5 unexpectedly I found the abscess dramatically better which surprised me, I waited and another day and it was much much better, by today (day 7) I can still feel the abscess but it is just about less than one cm and not protruded and everything else is fine and nearly no pain.
Yet I am afraid that all the infection went inside the body? I have no fever or anything. But also when I first got the abscess I had flu and sinus, which I am still having but better, sinus is still there.
Today is the last day in the antibiotic augmentin 1mg .
What should I do ? Should I continue to take antibiotic for 3 more days?
Should I be worried?
Question: Electric type shock in buttocks, rectum down leg, doctor don’t know cause
I’m seeking advice, any help will be highly appreciated.
Background: Last year I felt a slight throbbing in rectal area which eventually subsided.
5-6 months ago the rectal throbbing had come back. Its quite difficult to describe, at any given time, 24/7 including now as I write, I can feel my heart beat in my anus as well as my buttocks. Its so strong It could shake my body down below when Im laying down. Occasionally, perhaps once an hour, maybe less, ill get a quick twitch or electric type feeling in my buttocks, it could be in my butt cheek, or in the rectum itself in the form of a shooting pain. This lasts maybe a second or two.
More recently, I feel like the aching thats occurring down below has radiated down my leg, i feel like the back of my leg aches as a result of this.
Other things to note since ive been experiencing this: increased gas, foul smelling gas, more frequent bowl movement, slightly thinner stools occasionally. No bleeding. No tar like stools or blood noted.
Combined with all this, I have chest pains, particularly around the sternum however I get these shooting pains that feel like a needle being pressed against my skin for a quick second from under my skin. These could happen anywhere on the upper torso. In the last two weeks, i feel like i have the need to cough, and I do, even though im not sick. And when I do cough it feels like there was no reason to. If i take an extremely deep breath, It hurts on the left side of my chest and it feels like the lungs.
Sometimes when im out and about during my daily activity, i feel slightly dazed or dizzy or lightheaded, not sure how to explain the feeling.
Ive been to the hospital numerous times, albeit I am in Canada with awful healthcare, they’ve done a cardiogram on me, blood work and a rectal screening. You’d figure they would have done more. They’ve ruled out the possibility of hemorrhoids and prostatis based on the rectal screening
I need advise, I don’t know whats going on with me, something isnt right. The throbbing in my Anus and buttocks is still going on after all this.
Thanks
