ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Husband is 62 w/o Caucasian male with DX. of Chronic Progressive MS x 17 years. Today he is very confused, says he can t distinguish reality from dreams. Has been sleeping very poorly for past several weeks due to severe muscle spasms in shoulders, legs. Medications; Low-dose Naltrexone, Tramadol (never together), Magnesium, Curcumin. This confusion is very about normal for him, and has lasted the entire day. He does know date/day of week/ current President, etc., no drooping of face, can stick out tongue, smile widely. TIA? | Hello, But this is probably not due to TIA as it lasted the whole day. However it could be due undiagnosed diabetes, electrolyte imbalances and kidney dysfunction. So I would recommend that he gets a blood test for blood glucose levels both fasting and postprandial, kidney functions test including urea and creatinine and blood gases test. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care |

I have 3 lymph nodes on the left side of my neck Im taking the medication for Tuberculosis from past 8 months and I still have one month to complete the course of medication. however I could still feel the lymphnodes on my neck.

I had gone through all the data you have posted. Kindly let me know how diagnosis of tuberculosis was confirmed in your case. Generally for lymph node tuberculosis we do FNAC or excision biopsy which may show granulators inflammation and AFB may be seen. So if AFB were present at the time of diagnosis we need to repeat the biopsy from nodes to have a look again and if positive again we need to send for culture and sensitivity to rule out Chat Doctor. If initial AFB was negative and ATT was started on suspicion, we need to evaluate general status and other system involvement and rule out other causes for lymphadenopathy which can present in similar way such as ACIDOSIS etc. Hope this helps. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Im on implanon , have been since febuary. My period was kind of irregular but I would still get it. Within the last 2 months my period was lighter, brown spotting with only 2 or 3 days of regular bleeding . This month my period was very late ( it came yesterday) and was a consistant pinkish color, mixed with a white discharge . I frequently get yeast infections now that I have implanon. Today I feel kind of queezy, I had been feeling this way on and off since last saturday. Since most of it, if not all, involved me running back and forth to the bathroom I rigured it was food poisioning or a bug that had been going around. My appetite is extremely small, I dont really want to eat anything only drink stuff. I feel like I could throw up, but its no where near a urge/need. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex about 2weeks ago, one day it was on a day my period tracker said I was fertile. He hadnt ejaculated in my to our knowledge, we keep stopping from being scared. That same week I took a at home pregnacy test and it came back negative. Should I be worried???? | Hi, In the current situation, you need to clarify if you are suffering from a gastric problem or are really pregnant. You should get a blood test done to exclude/confirm pregnancy as urine test cannot be relied up on under these circumstances. Once clarified, further management can be accordingly planned. Please check whether the implant has been displaced in which event it can malfunction and failures do happen. Please see a specialist for further suggestions. Hope you find this information useful. Take care. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, I have been a vegetarian for over 25 years, and have previous blood tests have indicated that my B12 was a bit low, but within the normal range. However, i recently had a test that showed my B12 as over 1000. I dont supplement this (except for a multi vitamin). Also, my white blood cell count was a bit low, and urea was low. Can you please tell me the possible causes?Regards!Leah | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Vegetarians are prone to have vitamin B 12 deficiencies. Vitamin B 12 supplements can be taken regularly. It will keep the B12 levels within normal range. A fall in white blood cell is most commonly caused by infections. A differentiation leukocyte count (DLC) will determine the component which is low. Further management will depend on the result of the investigations. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor. |

Managing persistent pain post fusion surgery in indeed a very difficult and uphill proposition for both patient and treating doctor. Post fusion surgery due the the position of screws the routine MRI and CT scans are marred by artifacts by the screws. Most of the time it is not possible to ascertain all findings and assess severity of stenosis by these investigations. This is where CT pyelogram helps us spine Surgeons since the artifacts are less and severity of stenosis can be assessed independent of the screws. The injection in your back is essential to inject contrast fluid into your spine which will line up or light up the areas of interest. Definitely It's difficult to have a needle inserted in a painful back, but it some of the ways forward to know what's causing your pain. Hope this helps. All the best. Regard. Chat Doctor. |

I recommend :- regular intercourse, every alternate day at least, during the middle third of your cycle. -basal body temperature monitoring and ovulation prediction kits can help to detect ovulation day. This day and three days prior to this are your most fertile period. Time intercourse appropriately. -take a folic acid supplement every day. Improper /irregular intercourse, Thyroid problems, hormonal imbalances, obesity, stressful life can all affect fertility. Minimize caffeine, exercise and eat a healthy diet.

I am getting my ovulation studies done. On 11th day my LT.OV is 15 mm and 13mm RT.OV is MSF and ET is 9.3mm Triple line.She plans to give me an injection to rupture my egg once it reaches the desired size. I wanted to know what does triple line mean? What are the chances of pregnancy in cases where we take injections to rupture the follicle.Thanks | HelloThanks for your query. Triple line means that the endometrium is of good and perfect size. The development of the egg follicles is also satisfactory. Once the egg reaches size of 18 - 20 mm, injections are given to rupture the follicle. After taking medications for ovulation induction, almost 80 % of women ovulate, and around 50 % conceive within 6 months. Once you fail to conceive within 3 - 6 months, you should have assessment of patency of fallopian tubes, and your husbands' semen analysis. Take care. |

Im only 24 an have been sexually active from the age of 18 yet nothing has happen... Ive been on an off of all the birth control you can think of but for the past 3 years i havent used any birth control at all | Hi, Thanks for the query. Better to go for the semen analysis of your husband. If that comes normal, in this cycle you consult your gynecologist and take tablets for ovulation induction. Then track the ovulation either by ovulation kit or by follicular study and plan unprotected intercourse around that period. This will increase the possibility of pregnancy. If the attempt fails once go for hysterosalpingography. For more details you can ask me through: http://www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor. |

I am breaking out like never before.. n every pimple leaves an ungly scars.. am really depressed.. Help me! Thanks. | Hi Alina, Acne is a common problem experienced by teenagers...although it does leave behind scars....most of these are treatable. Stress can increase acne and since you have polycystic ovarian disease there are two factors that are leading to your breakouts...First relax because treatment is not out of reach and isotretinoin with azithromycin is a good combination. Isotretinoin initially causes increase in acne, so it is combined with azithromycin...it takes about a month to show results and believe me it does work wonders. Don't loose heart, stop binge-eating(fried food, ice cream, butter, chocolates), relax, exercise and most of all do not fiddle or touch the acne as that can leave deeper scars.

The symptoms may likely to persist for more than a week. It is a self limiting disease in an immuno-competent person. Tablets of Acyclovir in adequate dose along with painkillers, Antibiotics to control secondary infection and vitamins are necessary. You have to put appropriate Chat Doctor.

Based on your symptoms, you could be having a mild cognitive impairment of early dementia. You require a detailed evaluation by a neurologist to determine the severity and the underlying causes.

Yes it is possible to break your hymen by fingering, but in your particular case I think your boyfriend was a little rough with you that is why it still hurts.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello. We have been trying to conceive for over a year now. I came off birthcontrol over Oct 2011, and have not practiced any for of birth control since. Since then I have had very irregular periods (cycles: 96 days, 49 days, 107 days, 36 days, 39 days, 96 days). I tested with Ovulation kits to make sure I am ovulating for the past three cycles, and I got positives on around day 22-24. My gynea has sent me for bloodwork to test my hormone levels, and the results came back normal . I don t know the exact values. A week ago my GP sent me for bloodwork as well (unrelated to my fertility issues). I asked for the results to be sent to me, and the results of the thyroid were: TSH = 2.7 FREE T4 = 17 Are these levels adequate to conceive? I am otherwise healthy 30 year old, never been pregnant, don t drink or smoke, 1.6m tall 62kg s, currently not on any medication. | Hi, As you have very irregular periods, that in itself could be causing the failure in conception. I would be able to comment better if you can provide all the hormone reports and any other tests done. You should have a trans-vaginal sonogram to see if the ovaries are normal. Tubal patency needs to be tested. Your partner should be assessed. Your TSH level is normal but T4 is slightly on the higher side. Your BMI is high normal. Your ovulation status should be ascertained and intercourse timed and ovulation induction is done if natural ovulation is inadequate or absent. Please get back with reports if you need further opinion or consult your doctor for further suggestions. Good luck. |

The fungal infection creams & powders seems to be of no useKindly advise | Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. The pigmentation that arises after the jock itch is because of the after reaction of the melanin. As such there is no such cure for this condition. Only wait and watch can cure such a problem. Our immune system can gradually digest the extra pigments. But this process is very slow. If you want fast result than you can apply vitamin A, poly unsaturated fatty acid zinc etc. Various combination of the above product is available in the market and can be taken under your doctors' guidance. Please do not expose the part to the direct sunlight, avoid extra sweats to the parts and wear the cotton cloth that can absorbs the sweat. This much care can bring the change.

What are the odds that it can be cancerous? | Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. It may be fibroadenoma. Fibroadenoma is the benign lump in breast. It is firm to hard and movable mass and mostly painless. You should go for biopsy or fine needle aspiration cytology of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. If is fibroadenoma then there is no need to worry. It needs lumpectomy which is a minor surgery. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.

I m scared, should I let my doctor Know whats going on. I am on permanent disability. | Yes it looks like you have damage your back further, my suggestion is checked with your doctor either or tho or physio and then do take MRI scan if your doctor also recommend. But one more thing you can try at home is just take rest keep doing heat fomentation and post that apply a good pain receiving ointment. And correct your posture for sitting standing and walking activity. Most important thing when u go for MRI do compare it with your previous MRI report. And then if every thing is fine I suggest you should follow a good spinal exercise program. Which can strengthen your spinal muscles so that the muscles' ability to take load can be improved next time. But of course it's not suggested to lift heavy wait at least for next few weeks. Do consult a good physio for back strengthening exercise. Take care.... |

You should first try the medications, if the medication won't work than you can think for the surgery. In medication, you can try diclofenac with Chlorzoxazone for pain and muscle relaxation. Antibiotics Doxycycline 100 mg two times a day and pantoprazole can work for your pain. Avoid severe exercises on that joint, but you can continue the mild physiotherapy exercise. Heat therapy, electron therapy etc. Can also help you can also try it. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.

Should I go for the thyroid surgery? After surgery is there any possibility of further cancer? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your wives situation and problem. Treatment of any cancer is based on its staging. Staging includes tumor size, lymph node involvement and distal metastasis. So before deciding treatment options, we need to decide stage of tumor. Same thing is true for thyroid cancer. So better to first get done CT scan of neck to know the exact size of tumor and involvement of cervical lymph nodes. Also get done PET scan to rule out distal metastasis. On the basis of these investigations, staging is determined. There are four stages for thyroid cancer. Stage 1 and stage 2 thyroid cancer needs surgical removal and post-operative chemotherapy. While in stage 3 and stage 4 cancer, only palliative chemotherapy is advisable. So better to consult oncologist, first determine stage of her thyroid cancer and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wishing good health to your wife. Thanks. |

Only now a notice larger pimple like bumps extending up my lip just on the line where the fry part of the lip meets the insider (moist) part of the lip. | Hi! Welcome to Chat Doctor. I read your query. White cluster at the corner of mouth can be due to various reasons such as accidental biting, force spots due to sebaceous glands, oral herpes, allergic reaction, or other severe conditions. Since you mentioned that there are no symptoms associated. Even then I suggest you to once visit a dentist and get them checked. If they change shape, size or texture, go for biopsy. In case of history of any medication causing allergy, contact your physician before stopping or changing Chat Doctor. Herpes infection takes usually 3-4 weeks for complete healing.

Does this warrant a trip to the ER? | Hi dear, It will be better to discuss with a gastroenterologist. Abdominal pain have different etiology. You have to give us some more details to differentiate them. Your pain is from upper mid-section means it is related to lower esophagus, stomach,parts of small intestine, pancreas,transverse colon, abdominal aorta. Burning sensation indicates it has some relation to stomach and esophagus. Nausea and vomiting ; projectile vomiting from obstruction or toxicity. Others may be appendicitis, pancreatitis, hepatitis. If you are vomiting soon after food intake it may be from gastric ulcer or upper gastrointestinal obstruction. You had just mentioned that you have no diarrhea, but is there a satisfactory bowel? If not indicates chances of obstruction. Fever suggests infection. These all are the possibilities. Hence, there are several factors to consider before final diagnosis I suggest discussing with a gastroenterologist if symptoms persist. In my opinion your symptoms may be from gastric ulcer or appendicitis as it is epigastric, increase with eating or Chat Doctor. With thanks, take care |

It s 2:30 am here and I m reluctant to call the doctor. 1) Is there risk in taking the oxycodone if I don t need it to manage the pain? 2) If I discontinue taking it and wait until I start feeling pain in my leg, will I have enough time for it to be effective, and will I risk being behind and catching up? 3) Am I keeping the oxycodone in my system for the initial wearing off of the nerve block? 4) Will the nerve block wear off all at once or gradually? Thank you, Susan | Hi, How bad is Chat Doctor. 5 gallons could be fatal. 1 325 of Tylenol is safe. It takes ten times that at one time to be bad for the liver. So, it is safer than water. In each case, having taken a gallon or a Tylenol yesterday isn't going to make taking it again today unsafe. So, the Tylenol issue won't accumulate. On the other hand, there are a lot of reasons not to overtake narcotics. You can get used to them in a few days and then they don't work as well because you've gotten used to them. It is equally true that if you don't have any pain, you don't know when to take them. The other feature the nurse is correct about is that they start working only about 40 min after you take them. Their peak effect is like at 90 min. So, if you wait on the pain, you will have a lag before relief. But there are also reasons to wait. The nerve block wears off pretty suddenly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

You seem to have postinflammatory hyperpigmentation and scar formation. For pigmentation as a general rule-Avoid sun exposure Use a good sunscreen of SPF 30 and repeat application every 3 to 4 hours Take antioxidant and vitamin C supplements. You can apply Vania cream at nighttime over the affected area.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,My father is 57 years old. He is having 102.3 fever and also some confusion and disorientation. The physician he consulted did blood work and concluded it to be viral but the delirium started after the consultation. Getting worried. I can send the blood reports across. Please help. | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. If he has a fever and is delirious, it is not something that should be managed at home. Delirium can be due to toxic reasons (toxins can be substances released by microorganisms during an infection, prescription medicines or illegal ChatDoctor. ), ischemia (lack of blood flow), etc. So, I suggest that he should be seen again by his physician. The alternative would be to get him hospitalized. In the meanwhile, give him Acetaminophen (Tylenol) to keep the fever down. 650 mg can be given four to five times a day. Temperature itself can cause delirium. Please upload the blood work, so that I can take a look at them as well. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, I ate too much sausage yesterday around 5pm pacific. I rarely eat sausage or greasy meat but had a large sausage and egg and cheese omelet. Last night I notice being gassy and a soreness in my right adomen...between belly button and bottom of ribcage on right - not under rib cage. Tender to touch, dull achy, not sharp pain. better when standing. Note that I took care of my two grandson (4 and 2) on Wednesday and wonder if it could be a pulled muscle in my tummy or something - we were playing pretty hard. It feels a bit like a strain but not sure. | Hi. Thanks for your query. Read the history and understood the problems. Too many sausages, which you knew can cause problems has caused you gasses and soreness in the abdomen. The abdomen is tender to touch, dull achy and better on standing. This indicates either an infection of the intestines by bad sausage or intolerance of the intestines to sausages. Get a course of an antibiotic, metronidazole, activated charcoal tablets, probiotic and see for the results. If there is a relief, nothing further needs to be done. If no relief you may need and upper GI Endoscopy, colonoscopy and further treatment as per the blood, urine and stool reports. Never take Sausages again. Take care. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | in 2003 i had spinal fusion surgery C5/C6. i have had significant size and strength loss to my left arm and leg (varied by as much as a full inch). today i suffered a partial paralysis of both arms after lifting boxes in the garage and also a numbness to the entire upper jaw. the entire event lasted less than thirty minutes but has me freaked out. i am 44 years old and do not want to be paralyzed. can you offer any suggestions? | Hi, Thank you for posting your query. The most likely possibility in your case could be a transient ischemic attack-TIA. In this condition, the blood supply to a part of brain is reduced for a short period of time. This is more likely to occur in presence of risk factors such as diabetes, high BP, cholesterol, smoking, etc. You may get screened for these risk factors. Cervical spine problems may lead to weakness of both arms, but the numbness of jaw can not occur with spinal problem. You may consult a neurologist for evaluation.

I read your question and understood your concern. You mentioned that you had an MRI done but do not specify which part of the body you had the MRI. In your case an MRI of the neck would be needed. It may show a cervical sponduloarthrosis which can be create with physical therapy and anti-inflammatory medication in the beginning and surgery in later stages.Also, another cause of your pain might be a herniated disc of the cervical spine which in the first stages can be treated cooperatively or operative depending on the degree of the compression of the nerve from the disc. So I think there are solutions of your problem. Wish you quick recovery |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,After I spent a day at the beach, I noticed red marks along my shoulders, arms, and chest that looked like sunburns. After a couple of days, though those spots turned brown, and the rest of my body looked like it had not tanned. I was wondering if this could be vitiligo or something else. Kindly advice. | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. You seem to have got Berloque dermatitis (those reddish-brown patches) (attachment removed to protect patient identity) due to sun exposure after some perfume or fragrance or plant contact on the skin (phytophotodermatitis) which typically causes these irregular and odd-looking patches. The whiter skin is your normal skin rather than vitiligo. Did you use any perfume or was in contact with plants before sun exposure? |

Now i am running a low grade fever with the chills. what could this be? | HiT hanks for your query. You are suffering from sore throat and as a consequence there is cough which may have some allergic component also. In this regard I will advise you to take an antibiotic in the form of azithromycin 500 mg once daily for 6 days with vapor inhalation and gurgling with Luke warm water. Give your voice rest for 2-3 days. Take a levocetrizine tablet 5 mg once daily at night for 7 days. Take plenty of water. Avoid cold. I think you will be quite ok in 4-5 days. If not then a throat swab culture sensitivity should be done in order to choose proper antibiotics. Thank you. |
