I’m a 21 years old female, 3 years post gastric sleeve. I’ve been dealing with neurological problems for over a year and last may my doctor asked me to take a vit B complex because I’m malnutritioned, I took it for a week and I ended up with a x200% or the normal value of B6 levels, my drs asked me to ignore it and stop taking the complex because I reached B6 toxicity. 5 months later its still double the normal level. I have kyphosis, bilateral thyroid nodules and tremors. i’m also anemic with a ferritin level of 4. And I went into tetany 4-5 times this year after hyperventilating.
Hello I am contacting you about my daughter. She turns 14 tomorrow. Long story short, she had blood work 8 months ago, everything normal, except alsosterone (blood) came back at 2.5. Doctor was not concerned. I had labs sent to our family doctor, and he was not concerned. Last week at a routing physical, I asked about this again, they said at my request they would order cbc, panel, functions, cortisol, aldosterone. They instructed her to fast. She had the blood test the next morning at 7:50 am sitting in a chair. Doctor called that all was normal EXCEPT Cortisol 20, aldosterone 2.5. Sent me to pediatric endocrinologist. She was not concerned either. I want to feel at peace, but when I look up these levels online, I see scary diseases and syndromes. Please give me some insight to these levels, are they ok? I am so worried. Thank you.
Hi, I am a 20 year old female. I have been having some interesting symptoms lately. I have Undifferentiated connective tissue disease. In August, I had a Brain MRI done. I see some white dots on the mri and was wondering if they are significant. Recently in the past 3 weeks, my arm has been going numb at night and my fingers on the right hand are spastic. They are seized up towards the palm of my hand. Any insight towards this mri would be great. I can only upload 1 picture but can upload more if needed. Thanks
Recently, my brother(26 Years) started felling multiple symptoms of fatigue, lack of interest and poor concentrations.
We consulted a Psychiatrist and on his advise we conducted all the test from Arogyam package. The test result shows imbalance in Homocystein level and vitamin B12 and D3 levels are very low.
I went to a physician in Lucknow and he said he does not recognize Arogyam report and ordered test from his own clinic. I requested him to treat the B12 and D3 deficiency immediately via injection or other methods but he’s adament for report from his own lab. This induces doubt about his intention.
To all the esteemed panel of doctors here, I have couple of questions.
1. Is it the Vitamin B12/D3deficiency or Homocystein imbalance thats causing the above mentioned symptoms of lack of interest and fatigue.
2. As my brother is working in a very pivotal position with a cosulting firm. So can any of you suggest a suitable treatment which is effective and and works in less time.
3. Can any of you also suggest suitable doctor nearby Lucknow/Hyderabad who can do the job easily and quickly.
Please help.

I’m 34 years old and was treated with radiation and chemo 2 years ago for stage 4b2 cervical and haven’t had a menstrual cycle since as expected. Went through all the changes my gyn/onc explained. Then a week ago I began bleeding again. I just last month a a clean exam and pet scan. Is it possible my ovaries weren’t completely fried and I’m ovulating again?
I’m just wanting to know if a carbohydrate meal would increase pancreatic polypeptide release. I had this test done as part of a neuroendocrine tumor evaluation and the result was very high. I read online it should be done fasting but my doctor disagreed, and said only protein and exercise would change the result, not carbohydrates, however she is not a neuroendocrinologist. I called the office of a neuroendocrinologist to schedule a 2nd opinion and the nurse said the test has to be done completely fasting, and won’t even schedule the consult until I have it done fasting, so I don’t know what to think. The level was 2000 and this was about 20 minutes after eating a high carbohydrate meal, but no protein. I also have diabetes which is not perfectly controlled.
My husband is 58, 5’9″, 14 stone.
In june 2015 he was very tired all the time, he was diagnoised with underactive thyroid, his tsh was 8.5, put on 75 levothyroxine, by september 2015 his tsh was 3.5, and he felt well,
In may this year he was again feeling tired, his tsh was 4.05, his levothyroxine was increased to 100, also he was low vitamin d, so also took that for 3 months, his blood was tested 2 weeks later and tsh was 4.5, still feeling tired all the time the doctor put him on 125 leveothyroxine, 5 weeks later his heart was racing, he felt shakey, and very hyper, his was pulse was 80 (Which is high for him, as he has a pacemaker for bradycardia and his underlying pulse is 34) he visited the a&e, his tsh was 5.63, was put down to 100 leveothyroxine, that was 30th july, he was told he needed to six weeks to come down, his last blood test was tsh 3.85, so doctor says his ok.
But he is still very anxious, emotional, feels like tablets get stuck in throat, burning mouth, and throat, burning at top of stomach, burping, so has been taking gaviston, physically and mentaly can not cope,very , very short tempered, dizzy, lightheaded, feels like everyone is having a go at him.gets tongue tied. HE was not like this before his medication was upted.
He does not trust our doctors anymore, as he feels that they overdoesed his medication, but he does not know whether, he is still taking too much leveothyroxine ( he has now on his own accord cut medication to 100 every 2 days then 75 for the last 2 weeks) he is so emotional .
And not coping (he will cope when he is taking to people, they woukd not know anything was wrong, but then he will he will fall apart). We wonder whether he is still taking too much levothyroxine, and the indegestion and emotions are caused by the underactive thyroid or
IS he having anxiety attacks in general, and what we should do.
I am a 49 year old male. I recently had an xray that came back saying. There are some ill-defined patchy mixed air space and interstitial opacities seen in the left perihilar region. Notably adjoining the left upper lobe pulmonary artery. No focal consolidation is seen. the remaining lungs are clear, as are the pleural spaces. No bony abnormality is seen. I have had a ct scan the other day, and get the results next Tuesday. As this is concerning me, I am looking for more information as my doctor couldnt explain the xray report to me. I have recently had whooping cough, would this have anything to do with it. The doctor put me on Curam Duo Forte 875gm/125gm
What does it mean if my fine needle aspiration came back saying I have bone marrow and plasmacytoid cells in the lump in my neck?
I go see a oncologist/ hematologist in a couple weeks, but I am wondering if I should be worried. My doctor said it is extremely rare, like .4% of people have this. Heck it may even be a great thing! I don’t know? Thank you in advance!
