46, female, no meds, hypothyroidism, laminectomy discectomy in 2009. Over the last year I have had small itchy bumps show up. I have a fatty type lump the size of a half Dollar show up on scalp, my feet and ankles itch severely, my wrists itch, if I walk too long I get swollen, if I use hands to long they get sore and swollen. These spots that show up on my body can range from pea sized to half Dollar size and they itch, burn, and are warm to touch
I have dizzy spells a lot if I don’t sit down immediately I’ll black out. My body shakes kinda like a seizure. I cannot control it. And nerves in my head tighten up like feels as if someone is driving a knife into my brain. I’m 23 I have got dizzy and blacked out in the past I think it started yet junior year of high school. But like my vision would be black but I could hear my self falling but couldn’t feel a thing what’s going on?
I am a 52 yr old female. I take Lovastatin and Levothyroxin.
1 month ago I went to emergency room because of a cough that had been coming and going for a month and never had a fever phlegm was always clear to cloudy no color to it. I was diagnosed with having pneumonia and sepsis. Pneumonia was not seen on xrays it was seen on cat scan with contrast. I spent 4 nights in hospital getting iv antibiotics and fluids for the sepsis. Pneumonia from my understanding was viral. I am not at 4 weeks after having been admitted and cough is not getting any better. I have been to dr 2x and they say oh what you are going thru is normal. It takes 3-4 weeks for lungs to clear up. (I was told that at 3 weeks post admission.) The phlegm starting 2 nights ago has gotten very thick and green. I am also coughing up some Looser phlegm but it also no longer is clear to cloudy. I am concerned that this Dr office is not really listening to the problem
I’m 27 year old female, generally fit, I’m 12 weeks pregnant and have been unwell for the last 3 days taking paracetamol which does not seem to help at all. I went to the Drs Monday after being up every hour in pain ached all over kept drinking water hoping to flush my system through, got to the Drs sat in the waiting room and had to leave As I came over very hot and felt funny so I got myself and my 3 daughters back in the car and drove home. Tuesday I had an appointment first thing so made sure I went I told the dr I was certain I had tonsillitis as had seen white at the sides of my throat he told me it was laryngitis and that he didn’t feel antibiotics was necessary to take paracetamol and go get some dissoluble aspirin from the pharmacy to gurgle and that it would go within a couple of days. The pharmacist refused to sell me aspirin as I’m pregnant she said I either needed prescription or I could buy it off the shelf but she put me off the idea so I stuck to paracetamol and nurofen. Today I woke up still have a headache I was up from 2-4 in the night sweating that much I had to take my top of as it was sticking to me. I woke up with a headache and ears that feel as though I have an earache on its way. I’ve been having hot and cold flushes all day slept for 2 hours why the children were at school, my body keeps shaking and it hurts, my neck hurts the most turning it to the side up or down. I now have a cough on its way and keep being sick bile I have managed to eat but only a little all day I don’t want to keep taking tablets as this is unlike me and I’m pregnant. My hands and feet keep going really cold why the rest of my body is warm. Any advise would be greatly received.

Hi, my son got an accident and his foot his badly injured as his skin is burnt and got black, I m not satisfied with the doctors treatment, could you plz advice me.
I had surgery on my back all most four years ago – that surgery went great on the back – Got home started to get very high fever – rushed back to hospital for a week on heavy antibiotic. So for the last four years I have felt like I’m being poisoned all the time – could not work at all for two and a half years because of my stomach – very consent diarrhea 15 to 20 times a day.
So they gave me a fecal transplant – it helped cut it to 8 to 10 times a day.
Still feel like i”m being poisoned still – and very tried all the time.
So my Question is for the last four years the only time I felt normal is when I have a cold – other then the cold.
What does your body go through to fight the cold that makes me feel better? I have seen many doctors even been down to Cleveland Clinic – No luck
I did tell my doctor on Monday about me feeling better with a cold – the feeling of being poisoned goes away.
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.

38 Year old male, have lived in a high stress environment for 2 years and began to exhibit psychosomatic symptoms in late July 2016. Began a regimen of 10mg Lexapro and Lorazapam as needed needed for anxiety. Dosage eventually upped to 20 mg Lexapro with Betalol and Livotril.
20 mg Lexapro caused severe sexual side effects so medication was changed to Deanxit 2x daily after breakfast and lunch plus Lexapro 10 mg and Rivotril 2 mg at bedtime.
Anxiety symptoms have returned. I live in Thailand and have seen 5 medication changes between 3 different doctors. I would appreciate advice on a drug regimen that will restore Serotonin while dealing with short-term anxiety symptoms.
I have a heel spur my doctor want to do an injection should a cortisone injection be done without ultra sound guidance?

Hi doctor I’m 24 and male, and I’m taking no medication.
It’s been 6 weeks since I had my surgery to my acl and meniscus on my right leg in which I had a hamstring graft…
to day I went up the stairs a little faster than usual and a massive pop went behind my leg which was very very painful I would say 7/10 pain
It happened on my right leg where my leg bends which I think might be the Semitedinosus.
I can walk on my leg fine but I’m in pain when bending down!
What could this be?
Hi. I’m a 36-year old male. Around April this year, I had three episodes of hematuria. Scared, I went to a nephrologist & then another urologist. They conducted a number of tests on me including urinalysis, urine culture, X-ray and USG of KUB, phase contrast microscopy, lever and kidney function tests and a range of other blood tests. Almost everything came normal and the phase contrast microscopy found that the blood was coming from lower urinary tract. The doctors did not find any stones, lesions or tumors during the USG.
One morning in August, I passed a nearly 2mm stone through my urine. The urologist says I do not need to be scared anymore.
But I have a few issues of concern:
1) Ever since, right after the hematuria episodes, at times, when I strain to pass a stool, drops of whitish semen-like substance comes out of my penis. In order to tackle this situation, I stopped straining at least a week back and it had nearly stopped. But over the past two days, I have noticed on two occasions, a small jelly-like transparent substance come out after I finish peeing. It usually sticks to the bowl and when I drop water on it, it rolls off into the water and sinks. Is this something to worry about?
FYI: My wife is pregnant. And I haven’t had sex or masturbated since September this year.
2) Often when I am sitting down, I feel a slight burning sensation near the head of my penis. Also, at times, when I finish urinating, I walk a few steps and then sit on the commode for the last few drops to come out. Over the last few months, frequently, the last few drops have been light yellow. Is this something to worry about?
I had asked about these things to my urologist. But he seems rather indifferent.
It would be great if you can let me know.
Thanks
