Health Questions!?

We Answered:

1. c (viruses)
2. b (elderly, children, and chronically ill)
3. d (time)
4. a (TB, pneumonia, lyme disease,TSS)
5. a (people, animals/insects, food/H2O)

#5 depends on what kind of infections you are talking about....if you are including parasitic infections, then 'a' is definitely the correct answer. If you only mean bacteria and viruses, then 'c' is the correct answer. Based on the content of the other questions, I think your teacher is thinking along the lines of bacteria, viruses, fungi, AND parasites so I really think 'a' is the correct answer. Good luck on your test or whatever this is! ;)

Period health questions. Severe symptoms, doctors do no have answers.?

We Answered:

It could be that you are getting really anemic quickly and that is making you feel that way. The loss of blood could also be making you be hypovolemic (not enough water volume in your system). The other issue that it sounds like it could be is your blood sugar. So, when you get like that, try to have them check your iron right away (or pull down the lower lid of your eye and see if it looks very pale in there. The inside of your lower lid should be nice and pink. If you are anemic, it will get kind of very paleish white). Also drink LOTS of water on your first day. Another thing to do is to have your blood sugar tested. Ask your doctor for a 3 hour glucose tolerance test and see if they will run that. My best advice, to you, however, is to SEEK ANOTHER DOCTOR. They should not be dismissive. go to local reviews of OB/GYN doctors in your area and see who rates the highest. If there is a medical teaching hospital in your area, you may be better suited going to one associated with that hospital. Often times these doctors are a bit younger, but still very eager to solve problems. The older ones tend to just get burned out a bit and seem not to care as much.

Is this normal? Women's health question..Symptoms Listed, Doctors cant figure it out! can u?

We Answered:

Obviously, I’m not a M.D., and it sounds like they’ve worked you up pretty good. I just have a few suggestions about lab work. Even if your M.D. states that he/she has done a specific test, ask for a copy of your results. Sometimes the doc’s don’t have time to look through all the numbers and won’t see trends (all borderline high’s for example), that you the patient might be able to see. So here it goes….

sudden weight gain
gained a lot of belly weight
increased body/facial hair growth (hirtuism)
head hair thinning/lots of breakage (alopecia)
breakouts
increased oil production
severe pelvic pain, left side only, pings and pangs
severe depression/mood swings
night sweats
migraines
loss of concentration

All of the above listed are signs of a hormonal imbalance. Sounds like PCOS to me. You don’t have to have cysts on your ovaries to have this disorder. It’s characterized by having multiple symptoms that can be followed up with lab tests as well. I would ask your M.D. for testosterone, aldosterone, FSH and LH levels as well as your lipid (cholesterol) panel. A lot of times when women have PCOS they are insulin resistant. That is the basis of the disease, it can lead to diabetes. Visit www.pcosupport.org for further information on symptoms and treatments.

blurry vision & decrease in eyesight (retinopathy)
passing out after eating (rebound hypoglycemia)
passing out if don’t eat (hypoglycemia)
falling asleep while driving/talking with people
peeing every 20-30 minutes (polyuria)
always thirsty (polydypsea)
tingling limbs (neuropathy)

These are all right on the head for Diabetes mellitus. Ask your M.D. for a fasting blood glucose, a microalbuminuria (test for protein in your urine) along with a Hemoglobin A1c (3 month test for diabetes.) You could also buy a blood glucose meter from Wal-Mart or Walgreen’s (about $20) and start checking yourself at home. Visit www.diabetes.org for more information.

insomnia/then sleep for 12 hours
fatigued all the time
everything hurts. tissues/glands/joints/everything
severe pain in between shoulder blades

These all sound like fibromyalgia (especially pain between the shoulder blades) which is a chronic pain disorder. It is characterized by chronic pain and fatigue with bouts of insomnia.

nausea
sever constipation/then bouts of diarrhea
passing undigested food

Fibromyalgia is often closely associated with irritable bowel disease. In fact I found a website that talks specifically about their correlation. Visit www.fibromyalgia-symptoms.org or www.fibromyalgia-symptoms.org/fibromyalg…

wake up with bloody nose/blood in nose every morning
unexplained bruises

Iron deficiency Anemia?

new allergies/reactions to stuff

When people have a lot of autoimmune type problems, they will find that they often have food allergies, allergies to meds, ect.

chest pain/anxiety

With everything that you are going through, I would probably have chest pain and anxiety as well! Hang in there! The good news is that most of these symptoms can be treated. The bad news is that PCOS and fibromyalgia are disorders…not diseases. Disease can be cured, disorders can not, but they can be managed. Many doctors are hesitant to treat disorders because the diagnosis is more subjective than objective and there are not always standards for treatment. Keep looking around from doc to doc. Sometimes I find that Nurse Practitioners or N.D. (naturopathic doctors?) are better at looking at the person as a whole rather than a disease.

Good luck to you!
