She has a lump in her underarm, it doesn't ache normally but when pressed or touched harder, it's not very big nor small, she's very stressed about it because she thinks it's some sort of cancer because her family had some cases of cancer, her mother's sister had cancer, she's scared that it might be breast cancer... I HOPE IT IS NOT!! i wanted someone knowledgeable to clarify something to her, without scaring her, she's scared to tell this to anyone, except me. While treating her make sure she feels positive please, i will be very grateful
I am in a huge confusion. My doctor is not responding. I am Anti TPO positive. While I was on thyronorm 88mcg my tsh level increased to 3.87 from 2 and then started taking 100mcg as per doctor's advice. Now roughly after 2-2.5months today my tsh dropped to 0.26. I am also actively trying to conceive. Which dose should I continue with? Please guide me!
I had a scary episode recently where after using the toilet seat, when I got up, I saw that there is a long centipede inside the water of the seat. It was trying to crowl up again and again, and since it was light, it kept floating and kept coming out of water. I'm scared that it may have bit me, although I did not feel any pain or burning in my buttocks/private parts but I'm still scared as these are sensitive parts of the body. Do I have anything to worry about or anything needed? Im thinking from the perspective that even if it bit me, would it cause any danger? I checked my body and do not see any bite but I thought it's best to be sure. I'm thankful to your valuable advice
I am a 32-year-old unmarried woman. For the past month, I have occasionally experienced feverish episodes in the evening. Initially, my haemoglobin was 6.8 due to heavy menstrual bleeding, so I thought the fever was related to anaemia. My haemoglobin has now improved to 12.7, but for the past week, I have been experiencing fever every evening. I previously had severe neck and shoulder pain, which has now subsided. Today, I noticed dark yellow urine and burning during urination. My previous urine test was normal. I also have hypothyroidism and insulin resistance.
What could be causing these recurring fever episodes, and what tests should I undergo?
I am on mabura 40 weekly injections and azoran 50 daily for crohn's disease which is under control now ..can I take non live or inactive vaccines like hepatitis b , influenza,pcv , typhoid etc while on the medicine or will it not generate enough immune response antibodies for the vaccine due to double immunosuppressant medicine..kindly share your thoughts on the same
