My mother has been diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytes Leukemia in the B cell in August (we got her a bone marrow biopsy) and the blood film was detecting 65% blasts in her white blood cells . She didn’t take any treatments but cortisone since then. and when we got her CBC last week, it was all in the normal range.
Her white blood count was 7, though it was 52 when we first checked her CBC. And the blasts went from 65% to 20%.
We did a Philadelphia chromosome gene test and it was negative.
And I’d like to add that she don’t have any physical symptoms or tiredness! Is it possible that she had a leukemiod reaction?!
Hello,
At 8 years old my stepmother put me on lithium and I believe I was kept on some form of mood stabilizers for bipolar until I was 18. I only just found out about this happening without my knowledge and, emotional shock aside, I am worried. I spoke with my therapist and he agrees that I do not have bipolar. So, are there any side effects that could occur due to longtime use that began so young with something that didn’t even match with my brain chemicals?
Thank you, (…)
I’ve been having headaches for about 3 years now constant and painful ones, lately this year I’ve started losing my sight in my left eye going blurry or completely black. I’ve had a doctor say it was a pesdotumor and then a couple others suggest it was a real one, so we did a MRI and a CAT scan and they haven’t found anything. I was just wondering if y’all would have a second opinion or if y’all could tell me what it is.
I sprained my ankle really bad 2 months ago! I got an X-ray but the X-ray was okay. The swelling didn’t go even after two weeks so my doctor suggested getting no an mri. The Mri repost said I have partial tears of the anterior talofibular and calceneofibular ligaments!
Other findings are-
Marrow edema involving the lateral talar dome, portion of the medial malleolus and small portion of the cuboid presumably representing intraosseous contusions.
I don’t understand the above and I’m really freaking out! My podiatrist has given me naproxen and asked me to make alphabets with my foot everyday for a month. But I want to know it is really unusual to have the selling even after two months. I can walk easily I have no pain. But pain is get in mornings when I wake up. Plz let me know if I should get a second option from another podiatrist?
First it started as a sinus infection and now almost a year later I have headaches and migraines and when I walk a distance I get lightheaded and dazed feeling
What could chronic lower back pain be caused by? It’s gotten worse over the past few months, standing is starting to hurt and it’s a sharp pain. Lifting, bending and laying flat also are extremely painful
My mum suffers from spinal stenosis, chronic pain, neck pain and a variety of other conditions. For almost two years now she has lost most of her mobility and has muscle spasms that effect her ability to walk on her own. after many hospital appointments and doctor appointments we are still unaware of the extent of her condition. no doctor has been able to determine where her extreme pain in her spine, neck, head and shoulder are coming from. We have discussed using cannabis oil to see how it can help her pain but we are unsure as to what way we can go about it. I would be concerned about the combination of medication my mum is already on, with cannabis oil. Daily my mum would take, 2400mg of gabapentin, sevredol, buscopan, amitriptyline, baclofen, 100mg morphine, ondansatron, omeprozole, fluoxetine, lidocaine patches and an antibiotic for infections as she is constantly getting infections whilst being catheterised. we know that morphine would not be a good combination with cannabis oil and are maybe going to try and wing her off morphine and replace it with cannabis oil. I would really appreciate some advice. I can elaborate on anything if needed. Thanks
Hi there, I am 20 years old and have knocked knees(6-7cm

Hello. If any doctor is willing to help me with answering this question, I would be really happy. So back when I was 7 years old,like a month before turning 8, I broke my left arm,right before the elbow, the incision is like 6 cm long, for which I had undergone a surgery for and a metal rod was put there to hold the bone in place. The thing is that I had to go 2 years later and get the rod removed, which I didn’t cause at the time I was really scared that they would need to amputate my arm , I know pretty funny, but I was playing violent games from an early age. Years passed and I didn’t really mind the metal rod, didn’t feel it or anything. Starting 18 I started having some minor pain there after I ve forced myself with some weights,push ups and things such as that. Now I’m 19 and I really want to go get it removed, since I am still feeling some minor pain and I cant force myself with weights or sports too much anymore and I also started having nightmares about it. What I would like to know is if it is still possible, if it is done quickly under local anesthesia or general anesthesia,a little bit harder and how long it would take to heal. Appreciate the help.
My background: 7 years ago I found out that when I pass out my heart completely stops, so I was fitted with a pacemaker. Since it was fitted I sometimes get a strong fluttering feeling in my heart, which I’ve had checked out and is nothing to worry about. However, in the last few weeks I’ve been getting a different sort of feeling in my heart. It’s very hard to describe, but I guess it feels like my heart’s very light and floating. It only lasts for 1 heart beat or so though. It’s been happening quite often in the last few weeks. Any ideas please? Thank you.

What do I do? I feel like a crash dummy. I was admitted in the hospital last thanksgiving for 7 days because of vomiting blood. They did and endoscopy and found unknown but I know they sotterized it because of bleeding. I dont know my full medical record but have been dealing with these issues for almost 15 years. I had been told I have ulcers when I was 18 but when I was 21 they were gone. I have always dealt with heartburn/reflux. Used to use protonix but stopped as ulcers went away. I was just recently admitted in the hospital again due to the same thing, except now they still tell ulcers are gone and the endoscopy they did was clear, there was no issue but I am still vomiting, cant seem to hold much down other then apple juice, and all food is uneasy to digest. When I go #2 its like air and water. The whole that does come out is not much and it looks like stones. I haven’t touched it… yet but man I am worried. It hurts to go to the bathroom (#2). I have steady pressure on my stomach and the only way the pressure releases is to reflux. It sits there so long it makes me want to puke. WHAT TO DO I DO?????
