I suffer from Anemia from mercaptopurine and mesalamine interaction. My lab reports show that my Iron saturation level is normal. But my other iron level is falling. I don’t seem to be improving at all even after receiving an Injectafer – ferric carboxymaltose injections.
I have bad pain and swelling in leg and notice blood clots on thigh.
Hello Doctor, Recently I noticed blood clots on leg near femoral artery. I went to ER and they prescribed Xarelto for clots (in the ER) . After a month my prescription ended, I went to see my primary care physician who took me off because my hemaglobin was low (8.7) and he said he believed I was in danger of a heart attack. I still have closts, should I stay on Xarelto or do like my doctor says and stop?
Horrific Insomnia and extremely bad Heart Palpitations
Hi,
For the last three months my sleeping has been getting progressively worse and its now at a point where I feel my life is endangered. Every night i’m now getting a combined maximum of 2 hours sleep, never reaching a deep sleep. I wake up feeling shattered, feel exhausted all day and then can’t fall asleep at night – so much so it’s bringing me to tears.
The last two weeks of has seen the introduction of heart palpitations, general irregular heartbeat and stabbing pains in my chest. Sometimes before sleep at night my lower legs ache terribly and that combined with my heart which I can feel beating through my chest and through body parts like ears prevents me from sleeping.
I’m a 24 year old female, and I need help as i’m now getting concerned for my life.
Thank you for any advice.

I have been having severe chest pains, irregular heart beat, swelling of the hands, legs and feet, weakness (generalized), fevers of 99.9-103F, body aches and pains, shortness of breathe, fatigue and lack of energy. . My swelling keeps spreading to different parts of my body and I have no idea why. It ounce went to the side of my neck and jaw. My swelling began around May 2015. Idk if I may had a infection somewhere and it recently gotten to my heart but I didn’t have heart problems till now (recently diagnosed November 2015) because I’ve gotten a EKG back in March and nothing came back but every time they ran a blood count, my white blood cell count was elevated higher than normal. I am only 16 and been going through this since August of 2014 Nothing helps my symptoms it’s always there. Idk if it’s a medical emergency or what doctor to see. I’ve tried lots of different medications and no doctor can figure out what’s wrong. Throughout my sickness I passed out once because of the sickness. I really don’t know who to go see or what I should do. Any suggestions? Thank you very much.

Anterior wall fibroid while pregnancy
2 years ago I had 2 missed abortions and while I was doing the ultrasound, the doctor discovered that I have a posterior wall fibroid, small 1 or 2 cam. 6 month ago, I gave birth to my baby and while pregnant I haven’t any thing or any problem regarding this fibroid. Now I am 3 months pregnant and they told me that I have an anterior wall fibroid
Is it the same fibroid?
I attached the report of 2015 ultrasound

Recurrent Mouth ulcers in the past
Hi, 2 months ago I started having recurrent ulcers in my mouth and tongue (1-2 at the same time-normal size-after 4,5 days were disappearing). I had full blood count and everything was fine – for 10 days no ulcers again. After my holidays then I started having again ulcers in my mouth and tongue and my GP gave me Corsodyl mouthwash which was perfect – the 2 ulcers I had disappeared and never again appeared. I have no ulcers at all for 3-4 weeks now but I’m just very anxious cause in internet it says a lot of serious illnesses are causing ulcers and that is why I’m a bit concerned. I have also quit smoking on January (that might be a reason why?) and I was having exams as well which means I was stressed. One GP told me if I’d like to have more blood tests (std related test) but I haven’t. What do you think?
I was recently diagnosed with HSV-1, and I would like to know what these results mean. Thank you!
I was recently diagnosed with HSV-1. But on my test results it says positive and negative. And I would like to know what this means. I recently had the flu, but they were no cold sores at all. Could I have been misdiagnosed? I will really appreciate your response. Thank you!
Fatigue and muscle pain with normal test results
I have fatigue and muscle aches. I have had several blood test and all have come back normal. I was told it could be Fibromyalgia. I read about adrenal fatigue online and it fits my symptoms also, however, I have read some that say it is a real condition and some who say it is not. Is adrenal fatigue a real condition?

Thyroid nodule, increased TSH, low wbc
I am a 23 year old Female with no significant past medical history. In October of 2016 I had a miscarriage and the OB found that my TSH was 13.4 and my Free Thyroxine is 0.84. He also palpated and felt an enlarged thyroid on the right side. He followed this up with an ultrasound that said that the thyroid was enlarged on the right side with increased vascularization, increased lymph nodes, and diffusely heterogenous. There were no nodules present. They put me on 100mcg of levothyroxine and scheduled a check up 6 months later. I went in to my primary Dr. recently where she ran tests and did another ultrasound. my WBC was 3.6, TSH 10.2, free thyroxine 0.78, and neutrophils 1.68. She then increased my snythroid to 125mcg. The ultrasound came back with this report:
Indication:NONTOXIC SINGLE THYROID NODULE
Comparison:none
Findings:
Right lobe of the thyroid measures 6.8 x 1.9 x 2.2 cm. 5 mm nodules present.
Thyroid is diffusely heterogenous.
No abnormal cystic or solid nodules are seen in the isthmus.
Left lobe of the thyroid measures 5.6 x 2.1 x 2.3 cm. Thyroid is diffusely
heterogenous. No focal nodules are seen.
Impression:
1. Thyroid is enlarged and heterogenous. This nonspecific but could be secondary
to thyroiditis
2. 5 mm right thyroid nodule may well be benign but ultrasound follow-up is
recommended
I have an endocrinology appointment on June 30th. I guess my question in what is going on with me and what other tests should be run? There have been a lot of frustrations throughout this process of Dr.’s quitting and the apt not being rescheduled and other hiccups along the way that have made me feel nothing is moving at a very fast pace and no one is really explaining anything to me.

Having trouble breathing and have two holes in my chest
I have 2 holes in the left side of my chest and 4 gashes on my upper left torso, also have a few gashes on my left shoulder, and my ribs are broken on the left side as well. Every time I take a breath, a weird blowing sound, along with frothy blood comes out of the holes in my chest, making it hard for me to breathe. The holes are in my upper left chest area and near my left nipple. They both blow bloody bubbles out in spurts each time I breathe. The holes are about the size of a half dollar coin and make blowing sounds each time I breathe. I called for an ambulance and the EMTs cut my shirt off completely and are saying I need to go to the hospital. They said I need to have oxygen and might have a “punctured left lung” and a “sucking chest wound.” What do these terms mean and why was my shirt cut off? What will the EMT’s and doctors do to treat my condition, and after I leave the hospital, what can I do for self care at home? Male
