I was diagnosed with meningitis in January 2016, I have no relief, need second opinion?

Posted on by — 5 Comments ↓

Hi, I was diagnosed with meningitis in January 2016 and I had a MRI scan and a CT scan and it all come back clear. I also had two lumber punctures and they said something was high in the results but I can’t remember what. But I started feeling better then got discharged from hospital, I couple of days went by and I thought I was feeling better. But then it went down hill, I was started suffering with bad headaches again and there worse then before. I’ve been getting this red ring around my iris in my eye and having yellow fluid flow out of my nose whenever I do anything, I’ve literally got to stop whatever I’m doing so it slows down. I’ve been to my doctors more then 10 times and he doesn’t seem to answer my questions he just gives me medication and I keep saying there not helping. So I’m hoping I can get a second opinion from you guys!

My little boy has stomach pain, done countless tests, spent a fortune, I’m at a loss, need advice?

Posted on by — 5 Comments ↓

My little boy will be 2 in January and hes always had huge problems with stomach pain and wind. I have taken him to the doctors so many times and had countless tests done. Hes had a general blood test, allergy tests, poo samples taken and physical examinations of his tummy and an abdominal scan. All results are normal. Every night I sit for 3 hours cradling my little boy because he is in such serious pain he has now started to shout tummy when the pain is coming. I have kept a food diary for the last two months and not been able to pin point a certain food that upsets his tummy. He is on Movicol for constipation and this is working fine and he poos regularly. It might be useful to mention that when the pain comes on he also coughs and clutches his throat, his voice is horse all the time and everyone comments on how deep his voice is for a baby. I have trawled the internet for the last 6 months looking for answers. I have spent a small fortune on various medicines to help with wind and tried natural remedies such as peppermint. Im at a loss now I’m on the edge he screams for hours and hours and my GP has told me I cannot take him back again as they have completed all intial investigations and found nothing. Is it possible he is suffering with GERD? I’ve read about this online and his symptoms are so similar. Please can anyone give me any advice.

I am experiencing some early pregnancy symptoms such as frequent urination and bloating/gas. I am not sure what this means. I’ve never experienced this before. Is my period just really late or is it too early to detect anything in my urine?

Had chest CT scan , primary care provider thinks it is fluid or an infection, can it be cancer?

Posted on by — 5 Comments ↓

I received the following report from a chest CT scan: There is evidence of a 3.2 cm x 1.6 cm x 2.5 cm irregular infiltration in the peripheral aspect of the superior segment of the left lower lobe. Air bronchograms are seen within this. This may represent a focal pulmonary infiltrate. Underlying mass lesion can not be ruled out. There is no demonstrated pleural abnormality.

What does this mean? The nurse said the my (primary care provider) PCP thinks it is fluid or an infection and not likely to be malignant. I am still worried. This seems very large and I don’t have symptoms of pneumonia. How concerned should I be that this is cancer? I am a 40 yo, female with no smoking history. This was initially found on a routine work x-ray. How should I proceed?
