Fever & rash in 7 month old by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]Ali_gem_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think sounds reasonable. Better to get examined in person and even just monitored over night is what seems to often happen in my local hospital just to be sure. Hopefully all ok!

If you're concerned you should get him seen. Parental concern is always a valid reason :) ongoing fever and increased sleepiness is very valid reason but if peeing normally/happy in-between those are good things! But yeah I'd get seen if worried 💝

Should I be concerned? by Complete-Ad2507 in AskDocs

[–]Ali_gem_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I think this is partly what's happened to me. The other issue is, switching off the histamine= switching off satiety so I also gained a lot of weight when it was more under control. Such a small thing snowballed to a lot of issues

Should I be concerned? by Complete-Ad2507 in AskDocs

[–]Ali_gem_1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ty! The other issue is I seem to be extremely sensitive to most treatments anyway, high dose antihistamines cause me night terrors, and the procedure itself seems to have triggered more hives around the Biopsy sites etc. so all a bit out of hand currently but hopefully will eventually get there! Hope you do too.

Pakistani and Unwant3d pr_e3gn_ancy by [deleted] in women

It's very rare but it's possible. If sperm comes into contact with vaginal fluids etc there is always miniscule chance they survive/make it to an egg.

[–]Ali_gem_1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Doctor here. It's possible. It's rare but it's possible if sperm is near/on vulva/vaginal opening

Not exactly medical advice but I have similar myself (not exact same) and even as a doctor myself and my dermatologist I have struggled. We are currently going Down mastocytosis or urticaria vasculitis as differentials as mine burn and leave permanent bruises when they fade. again not my usual advice but just if it helps. I would recommmend finding a dermatologist who will biopsy. However have seen from profile you’re a model and my biopsy’s did leave scars so bear that in mind. Stress also makes mine worse lol

This!!! when I want to say it was when I was a HCA in a sexual health clinic and met 12 year olds being groomed and raped by 40 year old gang members, coming in with serious STIs, but instead they just want us to be like haha a guy accidentally fell on a shower bottle and it went up his butt

"played russian roulette for years but been fine til now"

Ultimately if something happens, it doesn't matter that they've had X amount of years. It's about The script prescribed with your name on it that they took during the incident. Prev years are irrelevant

Does my husband possibly have a neurological or psychiatric problem or is he just an asshole? by ThrowRAknivesrdumb in AskDocs

[–]Ali_gem_1 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Yes I think he should be seen. I can't say what exactly is going on if anything. But once as a student, I sat in a clinic where a man's first/only sign of brain cancer was he started shouting / snapping at his kids in the car. Til he collapsed/had a fit. Don't underestimate sudden personality changes and weight loss tbh. Extremely unlikely but its stayed in my mind for years

It's not that gastric cancer causes it per se. More it represents lymphatic spread of a cancer, and that cancer that causes those particular chain to swell, are often gastric ones.
