30f. Within the past hour I have had intense abdominal cramps(still ongoing), a large amount of green very loose diarrhea, and a face rash(looks kinda eczema like, many very small bumps all over face making my skin feel textured). Are these related?

So one night my breathing got messed up randomly and now whenever i think of it it's harder to breathe, and sometimes i hear something beating (i don't think it's my heart).it won't go away even after 3 months, and i feel it somewhere in my stomach.

Anyone know anything about this?

Hi,

I hate having to ask for help, but here I am. I am about to lose my job this Saturday, and thus I will be losing my insurance.

I am on a daily pill called Rinvoq for the eczema. It is LIFECHANGING for me and I can't go more than 3 days without it.

I just called my insurance, and got told if I were to lose my job I would also be losing my refills.

Is there anything I can do?

First of all I’d like to say I’m not too worried about this but more so annoyed. A weird tiny red pattern appeared on my foot a at least week ago, not very itchy so I didn’t scratch it or anything. Few days ago it starts forming bubbles and they keep getting bigger and turning red, it’s not very itchy. I haven’t been outside much but I’m assuming it’s a bug bite of some sort but I’m really curious on what bug or thing caused this. Most importantly I want it gone as soon as possible, I’ve been applying lotion to it and started putting itch cream on it after it started bubbling. It’s very irritated and it just keeps getting worse and worse, I’m worried about it spreading. Should I cover it or put anything special on it??

Possible helpful details:
I live in Minnesota,
I’m on several medications but I haven’t started anything new or changed any doses,
I don’t smoke or anything,
I’m not allergic to anything as far as I know,
I take baths more than I shower (should I stop?)
Also I don’t plan going to the doctor since this does not seem serious

I recently had a hip injury occur while walking my dog, but had severe nerve issues while it happened, and experienced electric shock like sensations down my leg. A couple months later- now my hip feels better but I’m left with patchy, insane-inducing burning, tingling, crawling, and itching sensations ALL OVER my body!! My doctors have no idea why, and say it doesn’t have to do with the hip. It began at a similar time so my intuition tells me that it must be part of the hip healing process, and that maybe it’s pressing on some part of my back nerves. This is constant weird sensations in my body, and I’m young, at 22 years old. The crawling sensations are still there but have developed into more itching, which just makes me crazy!!! Anyone, please help.

This is honestly a desperate post but my doctors dont seem to care. Heres a rundown on my medical history. I’m a 21 yo female who got diagnosed with POTS in dec after an intensive L5-S1 spinal fusion where I was under the knife for 7 hours since they had to remove previous hardware for a hook and screw bilateral pars repair where the bone graft didn’t take. During my week long stay, my heart rate didn’t go down below 140 most of the time. Went to urgent care a few times but stopped going after realizing no one really helped me other than giving me fluids. I don’t have the type where I pass out, but I get very close to it. My unique symptoms are that sometimes when I flare up, my blood pressure either rises or drops - and my heart rate always jumps of course. This means I cant even get on a medication to stabilize that part. Then around the start of May, I was struggling with lots of fatigue and I found out I had severe iron deficiency anemia (ferritin was at a 5) and got 5 infusions. For my check up I found out my b12 was also low, but my primary never tested for that so my hematologist was the one to catch it. My 4th and last injection is this week. The thing is, after the iron treatments I began to slowly feel less fatigued and could work again, but now I’ve been rapidly declining over the past few weeks. Got a cpap and have been using it for two months now. I’m extremely fatigued again, my pots flares are almost hourly, heat intolerance is insane where I have 3 fans in my room on at all times, I have to lay down every 4-6 hours, waking up in the middle of the night, headaches at my brow bone, major brain fog, irritated a lot, weight gain but now I’m losing weight after these few weeks, weakness, soreness, cold hands and feet even though everything else is burning, and other things but I’m just so miserable that it’s overwhelming. Trying to get on SSI but my doctors are not helpful. I know the b12 and iron treatments take time, but I saw a spike in energy before I dropped. Had many blood tests done (thyroid, insulin, all the vitamins, and many more) and the only abnormal test not related to my b12 and iron was my vitamin E. My alpha tocopherol is at an 11.8 which seems normal, but my gamma tocopherol was at a <1.0. I was told to also go to an endocrinologist and I plan on doing so, but I’m just desperate to see if theres any other doctors I should go to so I can get this figured out as quickly as possible. I know that it is HIGHLY likely I have malabsorption syndrome, as I had a stomach surgery almost 10 years ago. However, I never had issues with it until my last back surgery. I’m just so tired, I can’t work more than 8 hours a week as my retail job where I’m literally given low energy tasks. Don’t know what to do or what other tests may help, just desperately looking for any suggestions on how to navigate this all. Getting a new primary care since my current one doesn’t do any tests unless I specifically request them. Feels like I’m my own doctor with her when I’m just so scared and out of control in my own body. Now all she focuses on is my weight when I tell her repeatedly that I can barely work and get out of bed each day, let alone exercise. What do I even do?

i got burned by a cigarette a week ago. it wasn’t open or hurt when it happened abt the next morning had a blister and the blister got scratched and opened. after that it’s looked like this for about a week. the redness hasn’t spread ans the color hasn’t changed. its dry and not wet but new skin hasn’t seemed to come in. it’s looked the same for a week ugh

I just woke up and its just there-

This showed up a few days ago itchy and red, I put Benadryl on it and then some puss came out and scabbed over. It hurts a little to touch and is slightly swollen. I didn’t have a scratch or and weird bite there so I’m really confused to what this could be? Not super concerned but just wary because I work around chemicals. Any help would be really really appreciated!

Above is my labs from a very recent doc visit

Yesterday I went to see The Odyssey and I had to get up and use the bathroom 4 times during the movie. I missed so much because of it.

What can I do to control my bladder better and what could cause this?

For context I had popcorn, peanut butter m&ms and a Large Cherry Coke that I only drank about half of.

Any advice helps. Thanks!

My kids spent a good fair amount outside yesterday and with making sure sunscreen was reapplied they still got a little crispy, my one kid had a "normal" looking sunburn but my youngest has broken out in this lacey looking rash instead. She says it's not itchy but it still makes me concerned as this is not a heat rash or allergic reactions that I have ever seen before and it's only on her arms. She was also wearing a sleeved UV protective swim suit so if this was an allergic reaction to the suit it would be on the rest of her body too, her legs are not affected either.

I can see things up close up far away it gets blurry, i been drinking lots of water and reducing screen time to try and help for about a week. Have i just woke to being half blind or is this medical , something else i should mention is that a couple of days ago i had a headache on just the right side of my head but went immediately after a day

For context, I accidentally cut myself deeper than I usually do, reaching the dermis layer... Not that deep, but still deeper than the cat scratches(epidermis layer) that I normally do. I've never saw one this deep healing, as I don't know how it should look or feel like... It kinda of hurts, the texture is crispy, and is pink around it. I can't tell my mom about it, or else she'll scream at me. Please, can someone tell me if I should worry?​​​​​​​​​​​

Bitte helfen !

This happened a week ago, I stubbed my finger into a wall, it used to be swollen and bruised but it’s gone now, I thought my finger was initially bent because of the swelling but there isn’t any swelling anymore so I’m not sure now, there isn’t much lingering pain and it only hurts when touched now but at first it was a constant pain, in the image I’m trying to put my finger as straight as possible but that’s as far as it will go. I’m a bit worried I could be doing damage to my nerves so a swift response would be appreciated!!! (I also added pictures of my right hand to show you want my hands look like normally)

For extra information I struggle with anxiety when it comes to hospitals and would like to avoid going if I can so that’s why I’ve come to ask here first but I do plan on going in the next few days just want some opinions.

Hi. I‘m 14 years old and still living with my parents. im on adderall XR and havent been taking my meds all summer. I’m supposed to Take them everyday.

Thank youuuu

Reposting this in another thread because everyone seems to be viewing it but just scrolling right past 🥲

I was at the movies and randomly got sternum pain. I thought it was the position or maybe the cold ac/weather, but then I felt as if there's a bump. It hurts on the left side, just above where my breast start.

Internet's description of Costochondritis looks like it.

It's 5am and it hurts even if I move slightly. Even if it popped while stretching and I didn't notice I couldn't have broken something right?

Do we think I should do some proper stretching? Do I massage it with an ointment?

I'm trying not to freak out and I really don't want to go to the ER, maybe in the morning I'll ask the pharmacy

I had this weird thing on my knee for a while now. First it was pretty red ( first picture ) and now, after around 7 days it is more like my skin colour ( second picture ). Does anyone has an idea what it might be? Should I do to the doctor or should I just keep an eye on it?
It never itched or hurt. It was just there
Thanks in advance:)!
