I have been taking Lo Loestrin Fe for about 5 months now, is my body rejecting it?

Posted on by Admin — 3 Comments ↓

Hi. I am 25 years old and have been taking Lo Loestrin Fe for about 5 months now. Before that I had a total of 3 Nexplanons over the course of 8 years and got it removed due to bad side effects. My OB told me my body was probably just rejecting it due to the fact I had so many and wanted to put me on the pill for awhile. I have had semi-normal periods for the past 3 months or so. I took an entire pack of pills and then had an event coming up and wanted to skip my period so started my next pack and took 8 pills. I stopped the pack thinking it was time to have a period. I had unprotected sex 4 times right around the time I was supposed to be ovulating. I take my pill every day around the same time for the most part. I have now been of the pill waiting for my period to start for one week now and nothing. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative, it was one of the cheap tests though that do not give results before a missed period. Because I have skipped my period I am not sure when my expected period is supposed to start. I have a 7 year old daughter so I have been pregnant before. I am having some strange side effects though. Besides no bleeding I have had headaches on and off multiple times a day, a little bit of confusion, and diarrhea multiple times a day. My basal body temp usually falls somewhere around 97.6% and my temperature has been elevated to about 98.7% for the past 4 days now. I have had some lower back pain and neck tension but nothing severe. I also feel extremely bloated. Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated. Not sure if I should wait a little bit longer and take another pregnancy test or if maybe this is due to a hormonal imbalance since I was trying to manipulate my period. (never doing that again). I know normally any time I accidently miss a pill or I stop taking the pill I start feeling crampy and at least start spotting if not bleeding and like I said, none of that and its been a week. Thank you!

I almost passed out three times, diagnosed with acute bronchitis need second opinion?

Posted on by Admin — 1 Comment ↓

In the last two weeks, I almost passed out three times. It starts with the feeling of blacking out and a sharp pain in the head. Other symptoms are nausea and vomiting, excessive sweating, shortness of breath and numbing/tingling feeling in my legs, hips and lips which causes me to lose balance while standing up and /or walking. These symptoms occur from one second (feeling completely healthy) to another and last a couple of hours. It last happened four days ago and since then the headache and numb legs have not gone away. I’ve been resting in bed all day and any physical activity causes me to lose my breath and makes it hard to breathe. Since I didn’t see any improvement, I went to see a doctor earlier today. He diagnosed me with acute bronchitis and gave me a shot and some antibiotics. However, I would like to get a second opinion, since it’s been ten hours and I feel worse. Also I have never been coughing and also don’t have a fever. I am female, in my late twenties and in good health.

My 24 months son suffers from ankle clonus in both sides since newborn?

Posted on by Admin — 2 Comments ↓

My 24 months son have ankle clonus in both sides since newborn. Mostly this ankle clonus occured less than 5 beats, but several times occured for more than 10 beats (exactly about 11 beats). My son have a good milestone, good development, good posture and no muscle stiffness. He can walk and run normally.
Clonus in my child will appear when I press and push the surface of the sole of his foot strongly

His clonus ussualy appear when asleep and above 1 years old several times his clonus reduced/decreased but then relapsed again.

My son has checked the blood electrolyte components in the laboratory (natrium-kalium-calcium) and the results are all normal

I’ve brought my son to some neuro paediatrics. Some of them said that possible cause of his ankle clonus is immature nervous system (myelin or basal ganglia) and will mature at 2 years old (this clonus also must be totally lost maximum at 2 years old).
But one neuro paediatric said that my child is very normal, no worries, he does not have cerebral palsy. Ankle clonus in children with milestones and good physical is normal, no need for treatment or any examination. Because if there is a nerve disorder then the symptoms are not just clonus only.

The questions:
1. Is it normal for a 2-year-old child without any other health disorder to have ankle clonus?
2. Neuro paediatric that I last visited said that adults also sometimes can have ankle clonus but so far does not interfere with activity and health then it does not need to be treated —> Whether this means there is a possibility that ankle clonus will last a lifetime/forever?
3. Is there a maximum age that ankle clonus must be totally lost?
4. Ankle clonus in my child is unstable, sometimes does not appear but sometimes appears, so does the amount of vibration, sometimes less than 5 beats but sometimes more than 10 beats.
If ankle clonus in a child is still fairly normal whether there is a limit to the amount of vibration?

I’ve had sharp right lower abdominal pain for about a month now?

Posted on by Admin — 1 Comment ↓

I’ve had sharp right lower abdominal pain for about a month now. Trans vaginal ultrasound and CT were clear. Had a diagnostic laparoscopy to look for adhesion and/or endometriosis. Neither were found, nor were any ovarian cysts. Refereed to general surgeon who diagnosed chronic appendicitis. Had laparoscopic appendectomy and was told appendix did look slightly inflamed. The pain still continues in lower right abdomen. Sharp, burning pain. Sometimes to the point it makes me nauseous. No diarrhea or constipation or other bowel abnormalities. Any suggestions as to cause of continued pain?

I went to the doctor and they said it’s just thrush, should I get a herpes blood test?

Posted on by Admin — 2 Comments ↓

I met a sex worker more than a month ago, and came down with a fever/headache a week later. The headaches were really bad and lasted for around 10 days, and the doctor said this was some kind of viral fever. I did not see any blisters or sores on my genitals during this time. A week after it subsided, I got a few red spots on my glans. I went to the doctor and they said it’s just thrush and I was given an anti-fungal cream. The spots reduced the next day and it responded well to the treatment. They also tested me for STDs (everything except herpes) and it was all negative.
It’s been a month since my last sexual encounter. But I’m worried this whole thing was due to herpes. Should I go back and get a herpes blood test?
