My college told me that I need to get a(n) MMR booster shot. They said I received my first and second dose of MMR too close together back in 2002. Im not sure if I actually ever got my second dose of MMR, but I know I got the first one. Is it safe to get the MMR booster shot having only had one dose or already having both doses even though Im not sure if I’ve had them or not. I called a pharmacy and they said they can give me the shot. I just want to make sure if it’s ok. I’m 20 now if that makes a difference and I received my first dose back in 2002. Thanks
Hi I wanted to ask a question that I have been having anxiety over. I’m 28/female and have swollen lymph nodes in my axilla and shotty lymph nodes in my groin. My cbc has come back normal and my sed rate is a 2. My ultrasound has come back normal with 1.9 lymph node being the largest. My hematologist thought this was still big for being normal and sent me for a ct scan next week and a lot of new blood work that I just received the results on. She ordered an hiv test which sort of scared me because I’ve only had sex with two
guys. My HIV test has come back NONREACT. I’ve been single for the past 2 years and haven’t had sex so there is no chance that I took it too soon after an exposure. The rest of my blood work is giving me anxiety though.
FLOW CYTOMETRY REPORT
SPECIMEN: A-PERIPHERAL BLOOD
DIAGNOSIS:
PERIPHERAL BLOOD, FLOW CYTOMETRIC
ANALYSIS:
– NO PHENOTYPICALLY ABNORMAL
LYMPHOCYTE POPULATIONS IDENTIFIED.
– SEE COMMENT.
COMMENT:
The peripheral blood sample is prepared for six-color
analysis with
good yield and viability. The lymphocyte gate has 20%
of events,
and has a heterogeneous mixture of B, T, and NK
cells. There is no
evidence for B-cell monotypia, aberrant antigen
coexpression, or
antigen loss to suggest a malignant lymphoid process.
The T helper
to T suppressor ratio is normal. There is no increase in
CD34-
positive cells.
Note that flow cytometry may not detect small
numbers of malignant
cells, and that demonstration of some post-thymic Tcell
neoplasms
may require molecular diagnosis. Additionally, a
normal study does
not exclude myeloproliferative or myelodysplastic
disorders.
GROSS:
Received is one lavender top tube of blood labeled
“…..”
MICROSCOPIC:
The peripheral blood smear shows small round
lymphocytes. Blasts
are absent.
COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT:
WBC: 6.0 k/cmm
Hemoglobin: 14.4 g/dL
Platelets: 201 k/cmm
Abs. Neutrophils: 4.116 k/cmm

If you look at the last few ones my cd4 says 54. Is this test an actual count of the cd4. A count like that would mean full blown aids. Thank you for taking the time to read my question. I would appreciate all of the help
I am uncircumcised, healthy 40 year old man.
Was in a wet suit all day on July 16th, a couple weeks later developed yeast infection, which I treated topically using Modistat. Went away for a week or so, but return with a vengeance. Continued applying ointment for over a week, which cause my penis head to become quite numb, so I stopped using it and resorted to using the home remedy of applying yogurt and eating yogurt, this has been another week now and I still seem to have it. What should I do?

Friday night, I woke up around 2 a.m. feeling nauseous and feverish. I realized i had forgotten about the tampon i put in before bed, and i immediately took it out. The next morning, Saturday, i woke up, threw up, had a fever with a headache all day. I took ibuprofen and drank a lot of water which seemed to help. Sunday morning, i woke up and my hands were puffy, red and itchy. I thought nothing much of it and went on with my day. I took some allergy medicine before bed. Today, my hands are developing a rash and so are my feet. I have not had the flu-like symptoms since they disappeared Friday night. Does this have to do with toxic shock syndrome? If not, what could it be and what should i do?
I have recently returned from a holiday abroad where I gained numerous mosquito bites which I had a massive allergic reaction to. They became swollen and bruised and left my legs in a state. Now the majority of scars have faded however a few on my legs have remained a dark purple color and looks like I have holes in my legs. I’m currently using bio oil to help fade the scars but nothing seems to be working. Any help or suggestions to fade the scars? It is really knocking my confidence and I’m repeatedly covering up my legs.
Two years ago I …. (took) entire very large bottle of generic tylenol. It took the weaverville hospital two days to figure out what was wrong with me. They then transferred me to Redding whereby spent six days before my enzyme levels reached 1000 and then they let me go home. They told me when I arrived at the hospital if I lived I would definitely need a liver transplant . for the past year my urine has had an odor that has progressively gotten worse to the point it us always there any more.and it is real strong. i am always tired. My skin is dry and itchy. I have always had mild constipatuon problems but that hasn’t gotten any worse. It seems like I get slight abdominal pain at least once every two to three weeks. I suffer from unexplained nausea frequently. I have already visited the doctor and i doubt have a uti or an STD. Should I be concerned about my health?

Hello My …age 22, male.
I’m suffering from scalp dandruff like bacteria or fungal infection since almost 1& a 1/2 year..
Initially I didn’t knew what is it, as every monsoon I used to have hairfall but last year it was different and was very rigid. Losing abundant of hairs I felt there was something strange. I also tried to apply onion paste which I think just aggravated the issue.
Just 5 months back I had shaved my scalp and found a cluster of fungus poop like structure all around the head and I was shocked. Started taking some anti bacterial lotions for around 2week and left. For sometime it started depleting and almost gone however after 2-3 weeks it resurrected again. I don’t think there is any cure for this and surprisingly had also affected my younger brother and I’m too worried about it. Facing little bit of mental trauma not because Im suffering from this but because I have let it happen to my brother as well
Currently I am applying “Candid B lotion” because it just reduces it but I don’t know whether I would get any permanent cure for it.
Im started feeling that I never used to have hairs.
But one thing is that I have shaved at least for 4-5 times my head and its showing a good sign that it is as good condensed as it used to be before this infection. I’m literally fed up of this and I don’t know how far I can tolerate this thing, as it is affecting my studies , my career , my personality as a whole. Please help me, the specialist I met is too arrogant does not see the whole picture and just throws you out the clinic with a list of medicines and asks to meet again after a month
Some four years ago I had a tumor (GEST) removed from my stomach successfully. Ever since then I had severe diarrhea on and off similar to colon prep. Titanium staples were used to close the stomach lining. I have issue with gold and silver. My wedding band has to be removed every night since it reacts with my skin if left on too long. The question is: is it possible to have such a reaction with the titanium staples to cause such a reaction? Several hours before I get diarrhea, I have a Sulfur taste with burps from my stomach.
