have a friend who has immunodeficiency, and is a vegetarian. A month ago she started eating and every time she does eat she throws it back up immediately which makes her not want to eat, but she can drink liquids fine. She’s been to the doctor and they told her it’s depression and that’s not it at all. Can you guys figure what’s happening and how to fix it? I’m really worried because she’s developed really bad fatigue and I fear there are going to be worse symptoms. Any advice would help, thank you.

I am almost 62, 5’6, 230lbs. I was at beach until three days ago and did get sunburned on various areas of my body. This morning I woke up with pain between my ankle and mid calf on the inside of my right leg. This area was very red with heat. By mid morning the pain, redness, and heat had increased. Along with swelling in one area and a raised rash that had spread to just below knee. No itching involved. Pain is localized to one area. I have taken Benadryl with no results yet.
Hi I asked a question a month ago about some auxillary swollen lymph nodes. I ended up getting a ct of my chest and it came back clear. I’m a little worried now over the radiation. At the time, I thought the benefits outweighed the bad but after learning more, I feel like we should have just done a needle biopsy which my doctor didn’t offer to do. I’m 28/f 5’1 100 pounds. I’ve never had any medical imaging tests until this year. In November I had a car accident and the ER doctor talked me into having a brain ct scan which I had asked him if it was a lot of radiation and he said no and was very persistent on getting it. I feel that it was unnecessary because I only had some bruises and my head was fine. I also had some x rays done. Then my chiropractor did his own set of x rays. This month for the swollen lymph nodes, I had another chest x ray done and the chest ct scan with and without contrast (so I have no idea how many pictures that is.) I really regret doing these cts especially since they are all in a short time frame– 9 months apart… If I never have another x ray or ct again… will the damage I have done increase my cancer risk?
I dislocated my shoulder nearly a year ago. Just before it popped out and in by itself. Is that normal that it can happen and anything i can do? It’s not painful just sore and i can move my arm normally again.
I am a 20 year old female. I have been with the same partner for almost 4 years now. We both are our first & only sexual partners. I’m usually really aware of my health. And sometime last month, I discovered red cobblestone bumps on my pharynx. I noticed it 2 days after I performed oral on my partner, but we usually do it all the time. My period is also 2 days late but we only performed oral sex & no intercourse. They do not hurt at all. I also had some burning in my gum and tongue but that went away in a week. At first when I breathed, my pharynx felt irritating, but I had no trouble swallowing food. I got really worried so I was referred to an ENT doctor, he said it was just reflux laryngitis since he examined it with an endoscopy. So he prescribed me amoxicillin for 7 days which helped a little but the bumps never went away. Sometimes, I would experience bad chills with no fever at all especially when I sleep. They would come back one day & another day, I would feel normal. I also noticed one white small tonsil stone above one of my tonsils. Could this be oral gonorrhea or any type of STD?

I am a 15 year old female and I’m not sure if what I have is athlete’s foot on the hands and feet or eczema.It first started about 2-3 weeks ago.
Currently, I have tiny itchy blisters(with a clear inside)everywhere on my hands except the back of the hands(not including the fingers),and the first joints of the front of each finger and thumb(where you usually grab things with).The most concentrated blisters are located on my palm, the sides of my fingers and the back of the fingers, mostly on the back of the upper two joints of the fingers, stopping just before the nail.These areas aren’t red. Once I scratched a part, and it became red.
I also currently a similar condition on my feet.The right feet has faint blisters, on the left side of it.The blisters, however, are not clear like the blisters on my hand. My left foot has had athletes foot between the 2nd and 3rd, 3rd and 4th, and 4th and 5th toes, which has been cured by antifungal cream. My left foot, currently, has light peeling skin on the light red rash(wih small blisters like my right foot) on the sole of the foot. It has not been itchy, unlike my hands. There has also been a slight peeling of skin just below the toes
I have used different types of antifungal cream (such as bifonazole, clobetasol propionate ointmnet, and currently micronazoli nitras), however, with no results on my hands.
I am allergic to crab and prawn, and may have something called heat hives.
I am a 24 year old male who had a wellness profile blood test done at work. I have an LDH at 353 and a low glucose reading of 62. My gamma gt is less than 3. What does all of this mean? Should I see a doctor?
Mid twenties. Never had morning erection and genitals look like that of a child. Urologist ordered some blood work: t levels are normal(total: 579ng/dl free: 1ng/dl), dht levels are low normal (total: 18ng/dl free: 1.70pg/ml). LH(3.8 mIU/ml) and FSH(6.1 mIU/ml) also normal. Took clomid for 3 months to increase t(total: 1047ng/dl free: 35.8pg/ml) and dht(total: 75ng/dl free:15.20pg/ml)…yet still no morning erection. I can get an erection consciously though. What could we be missing?
My mother is 52 and lives in Western Sydney, NSW Australia. She is a type 2 diabetic and takes pills to lower her blood sugar, no other meds. She is also an alcoholic and spent most of last night at home, black-out drunk. Today she woke up with these marks on her right breast — they look like cuts but they don’t hurt and she has no blood on her bra or clothes. She likes to garden and I’m afraid it might be a spider or snake bite, but it has been 24 hours since they likely appeared and she feels fine. Any clue what they could be?
Inside my vagina has been itchy for the past couple of days. I googled my symptoms and it came up as a yeast infection. But I’m not sure if it is because i don’t have the thick milky discharge they say should come with it. I’m not sexually active so it can be an sti. I’m not sure what it could be if it’s not a yeast infection
Aching head varies in severity occurring daily since early September after initial onset I experienced severe nausea worse in the morning and occurring throughout the day for approximately a week. The nausea had abated however I experience it intermittently. I’ve also noticed short term memory issues. For weeks prior to the onset if head ache I was experiencing daily crying spells. I did have a MRI without contrast and eeg in July prior to i onset of these symptoms both of which came back negative other than sinus congestion. I need to know what to do.
