When I had a high dose antibiotic in 2006 I woke up in night sweats ..liver and spleen pain...fatigue, fever that would come and go. Ever since then I've had chronic fatigue syndrome, I just did an intra cellular test and found extremely low iron. I started taking it and within a week I'm feeling amazing. I do have a history of low stomach acid so that's likely the main cause. But the crazy fever n night sweats I've had for almost 2 decades seems to be gone.
high ph in the context of everything that points towards a complicated effusion sounds like a major anomaly. likely a technical error in the lab or handling maybe. gpt says likewise.
I’m 26 I’ve had sciatica pain for 4 years on left side. I get tingling and numbness on left especially in foot. Still can move and have strength on left side. And have no bladder issues besides peeing a lot. Should I be worried about this?
Haha! What an intriguing case! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, just wanting to know the answer. I can't help but think that it must be a lymphoproliferative disease once you have their schemas (maybe a little biast). However, if he doesn't improve on corticosteroids and continues to have high SPAP, do you think a cardiac catheterization could bring us closer to a diagnosis?
What a brilliant case! Congrats on the persistence to get to the core issue. Beautiful, illuminating discussion 👌🏻 Learnt a lot! Grateful to the entire team:)
Dr. Geha, I wanted you to be more stern with case instead of dismissing some points as being good points. Maybe we are in a different age where one cannot be blunt and direct. I get it. Thanks!
My granddaughter, 4, has been having jerky movements for about a year, maybe be longer. She has bitten her tongue in her sleep and while awake, poked herself in the eye with a straw when drinking a juice box, fallen down all because of the s movements. She is on a wait to see a paediatric c neurologist, who knows how long that will take in Canada. Anyway it’s very concerning, thoughts?
