45 yr old female, no medications. About four weeks ago I noticed a rash on my inner thigh. It doesn’t itch or burn. I thought it might be some type of fungus so I put Athletes foot cream on it but it go worse. I went to the doctor and they said its ringworm and told me to put the same athletes foot medication on it but now it’s spreading. Do you know what this could be?
I am a 35 year old male. I weigh 195 pounds and am 5 foot 9. I currently see a psychiatrist for OCD and Anxiety disorder. I am on 1-2 mg Alprazolam (as needed daily), and 200 mg of Sertraline. In addition to these medications, I have an albuterol inhaler that I take as needed — which is not very often, as I have very mild asthma.
(…) I have been free of using nebulizors, and other inhalers for 20 years — since I started high school. In these twenty years, I have not had a severe asthma reaction that warranted any concern. (…) I had a lung collapse when I was probably five years old, (…) But then it all went away! I went to college, ditched my medication and forgot all about my childhood ailment. (…)I have had pneumonia twice in the last ten years. I am NOT Tobacco smoker. I have for the last five years used cannabis on occasion (I use a double filter chambered water pipe)
On Sunday, 20th November, I woke up to a typical head cold. (…)
By Monday,(…) diagnosed with asthmatic exasperation, which I found very odd. (…) They gave me two nebulizer treatments (back to back), put me on prednisone, and gave me Amoxicillin. (…) Later that evening, things got worse, and my wife rushed me to the hospital (…)
My breathing was terrible. What I could breathe, which was extremely little, was an extremely loud and audible high pitched gurgling sound. I was admitted and began receiving nebulizer treatments every two hours. (…)I’m still doing nebulizer treatments on the machine I haven’t used in twenty years, and taking 40mg of prednisone. The hospital agreed, asthmatic exasperation. (…)
( My question ) How could I go twenty years virtually symptom free of asthma, to randomly, out of the blue, literally on my deathbed from this childhood affliction? In the last twenty years I have been exposed to so many things that never set my asthma off.

33 year old male. Stabbing chest pains like a needle for several weeks. This comes and goes and lasts seconds. Left Arm pain and pressure comes and goes in different places. This is mostly on the inside of elbow area. Constipated as well. I’ve been to the doctor and had several cardiac tests (4 ekgs, stress test, chest X-ray, blood work) all showing as normal. Holter monitor done as well, but no results yet.
I am a 17 year old male, and was diagnosed with probable viral meningitis around four years ago.
Since then, I have experienced some minor neurological after effects, such as including Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo a few years ago. However, since last December (nearly a year), I have felt much worse.
Currently, I am experiencing:
Muscle and Bones Weakness (persistent for a few years)
Vision issues (some black spots, particularly in particular lightings- diagnosed with light sensitivity and I wear glasses)
Memory problems (Quite severe- feeling of blankness/brain fog)
Speech issues (occasional- mixing up sentences)
Disorientation (occasional- feeling of dizziness- cured with food/water)
Headaches/ tension (back and sides of head- not very often/severe, made worse with blue light)
Lack of stamina (Easily physically tired)
I have had numerous recent blood tests, which have come back clear. I also had an MRI scan a few years ago shortly after the Viral Meningitis. My Doctors seem a bit perplexed at the moment, and their only course of action was a psychological examination to test for anxiety (which came back completely fine) and lifestyle changes (which seem to have helped slightly, although not with the memory/concentration).
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I am concerned it will continue to have a very adverse affect on my life (particularly school).
Thanks again.
I am a 41 year old female. I take medication for blood pressure, a water pill and a statin. My tonsils have been removed and I was diagnosed with vitiligo at age 8.
The past two nights I have experienced severe pain in both my knees. It is a constant pain that I describe as a sledge hammer coming down on my knees. There is no redness and no swelling and I can move without worsening or lessening the pain. The pain will eventually taper off on it’s own, only to return at bedtime. I have had xrays and blood work done and have been advised of nothing to explain what is happening. I have had no injuries and do not participate in sports. I have no prior issues with joints, or my knees. I do walk daily for exercise. I am wondering what could be causing this sudden issue?

my erections are weaker and i lose them and the head of the penis is not well vascularized
Can i reattach it by surgery ?
29 year old female. Having recurrent UTI’s, I don’t have diabetes, I’ve seen primary dr. , urologist and gynecologist. They’ve done cystoscopies and bladder is normal, lab work is normal, no STDs. Some times urine culture does not show infection, but I still have pain while passing urine, pressure and burning. Right now I’m taking a second round of antibiotics in less than 2 week because the first didn’t work. Taking CIPRAN 500mg 1 every 12hrs for 5 days.
Please help this is getting frustrating, this has been going on for the last 3 years, I usually get them every 2-3 months and I takes about 3 rounds of antibiotics to go away. Some times I take AZO to help relieve the symptoms but this time is not working. It’s hard to live a normal life and marital life when I’m constantly in pain.
I have persistent leucocytosis 12.5k for 1 year. Lymphocytes 4.2k Neutrophils 7.7k Treatment with antibiotics didn’t reduce the WBC count. Rheumatoid arthritis and antibody tests to detect autoimmune diseases were negative. I have neutrophila together with lymphocytosis. P.s suggest possible conditions. Age 55 y. FEMALE
I’m 19 years old – just started 1st year of uni in September
in the middle of September 2016 i was given phenoxymethyl penicillin by my GP for what she thought was tonsillitis (I had white spots on my enlarged tonsils). the antibiotics helped for a few days but the symptoms returned very gradually. I went back about 2 weeks later and was given another course of the same antibiotic which once again worked for a few days then my symptoms returned.
I went back a week later when my throat seemed significantly worse and I was given a course of a different antibiotic – clarithromycin, by the same GP. at this point I still had white spots on my tonsils and the GP said I’d scored 4 out of 4 on their tonsillitis test.
the symptoms did go away this time as well but not completely. the white spots never returned but my glands and throat continued to be sore and occasionally my ears.
I went back and saw a different GP who said it looks like I have glandular fever and the only thing she could prescribe was rest and painkillers. that was about 3 weeks ago and my glands have become more swollen and my throat is in worse pain but there are no white spots on my tonsils they are just very big.
should I go back to the GP or do I really need to just wait it out?
oh and yes I finished all courses of antibiotics
I’m a 17 year old female and have been breaking out in hives for like 7 years now. When I first went to the doctor I was told it was ring worm, which I now know it is not. They have been getting more severe so I went and got a blood allergy test done. I just got the results and was told I’m severely allergic to beef eggs milk almonds wheat and rabbit brush, as well as 975 other things I came back positive to being allergic to. I live in Nevada and rabbit brush is everywhere. Am I just going to have be on medications and covered in hives forever? Or can something be done?
My 4 years kid had a fever for one day and half,and he felt tired.
Next day he had rash on neck nape,around mouth, just near his armpits from the back, arms,legs,knees,elbows,hands and palms,feet and soles,very small red dots on his mouth roof not blisters or ulcers.no rash on belly,neither on back,3 small dots on his chest.
One doctor diagnosed him as hfmd, the other diagnosed him chicken pox.
My question is, could hfmd appear on neck nape,around armpits?
Could chicken pox appear on palms and soles? Thanks.
Can you help, for the past few months I have been experiencing pain in my right shoulder from the shoulder blade to the top and down my upper arm and the right side of my neck which never goes away.
I keep getting a recurant sore throat now my chest is now feeling raw at sore. Suddenly the pain in my throat disappears then I get pains which starts in just below my knees and goes up to my hips and the bottom of my back.
Its like a deep niggling, gnawing pain which feels like need to stretch out. It gets to a point I just need to stop, even driving hurts, I don’t get relief from sitting, lying down.
I get maybe 1 weeks relief from the leg pain, then it’s back again. The sore throat then the leg pain goes round in a cycle and has been since July/August.
I have had blood done by the doctor in October who told me liver and kidney function were all normal, blood count and thyroid normal but my ferrous levels were low so I was given ferrous furmate tablets to take for a month.
I was also prescribed Omeprazole for heartburn and acid.
I have been prescribed pain killers, which don’t touch the sides and venlafaxine twice a day (not sure why!).
Our baby is 5 weeks old. Had bronchiolitis and had therapy for 7 days in hospital in Macedonia with lendacin and urbason. now his chest are ok but continues with pulmicord inhaling (26 days) and Cefaklor sirup (5 days).
I am desperate for help what can i do to help our baby not to have side effects or further complications. I read that when babies are so young it is more then possible to have later complications or serious illnesses. Sometimes he screams like hell and we don’t know why. He might be in pain. He seems lost now, confused and scared from all the hospitals and needles :((
Please please please advice, what to do to help him.

I’m male 24 years old. I started having intense sharp constant pain behind my right eye, right temple area, and backside of the right side of my head. It started in early September about once a week for the first 3 weeks. Then I started having the intense sharp pain every other day. And now it’s EVERY DAY. It’s a very intense sharp constant and persistent pain. It gets very painful during the nighttime. I went to go get it checked out when it started occurring every other day. The doctor asked what my symptoms were. Symptoms: intense pain on the right side of my head behind my eye, right temple, and backside of right side of head. I DONT have any other symptoms like vomiting, light sensitivity, etc. Just pain in my head.
My doctor prescribed me fioricet and didn’t do anything. She had me get a CT scan which ended up showing nothing. After that she prescribed sumatriptan which had little effect. Then I had an MRI done. The MRI showed I had a little bit of sinuses on the left side of my head (kind of near my eye brow). She said it was probably unrelated to my head pains but she prescribed me 2 weeks of antibiotics (amoxicillin/clave potassium 875mg) for the sinuses anyway; and decided to refer me to a neurologist for my head pain.
Once I started taking the antibiotics my head pain basically all but went away. 12 out of the 14 days I took the antibiotics I was pain free. 2 days of the 14 days I still had pain. But once I ran out of the antibiotics the miserable intense sharp pains came back… so I made other appointment to see if I could get some more of the antibiotics. It took 6 days after I ran out (which was this last Monday) to get into my appointment. I told her the antibiotics had a huge effect leaving me pain free 12 out of the 14 days when I took them. She said that was really good and that I probably just needed to be on the antibiotic longer to completely eliminate my symptoms.
So this last Monday she prescribed me 3 weeks of the same antibiotic with the same dosage. I started taking them Monday night. It’s now Wednesday night and the antibiotics are having no effect on me whatsoever now. My head pain is still very intense. I don’t understand why. I originally thought I had cluster headaches, but she prescribed me fioricet and sumatriptan and they didn’t work. Then I thought the sinuses that showed up on my MRI scan was linked my head pain since the pain went away first time I took the antibiotics. But now, for whatever reason the antibiotics aren’t working. I still have my neurologist appointment on November 30th.
What’s wrong with me?
What causes intense sharp 10 out of 10 pains on the right side of head behind right eye, right temple, and right side of back of head?
I’ve had this for almost 3 months now. I’m only 24. It’s so agonizing and exhausting. I’ve been taking Tylenol everyday. It’s effecting my everyday life.
