Child with seizures?
I’m asking in here for new ideas or thoughts. My nephew 6 years old. Has episodes 3-5 times a month been happening for 1-2 years. Has been tested for bacterial/virus infections, epilepsy, brain cancer. All organs have been checked and everything is negative. Even tested him for allergic reactions. Nothing. Has seen many specialist and no one has found anything. He has all of his vaccines and is healthy other than the episodes. Not on any medicines. This is what the episodes are... could be stalking and playing then all of the sudden he is shaking spikes a fever to 102-104 then starts vomiting uncontrollably(no blood). The episodes happen in that order. After every episode his brain “back tracks” he’s slower and has trouble with school. I would love thought and opinions. Anything you think it could be. He’s been tested for so much.
2 AnswersOther - Diseases2 years agoHelp with my cats leg/back issue please?
My cat started having this problem when she came into heat about 6 months old She was never bred or exposed to male cats. She would be in heat and be very vocal and go into a mating position a lot and that’s when it started. We got her fixed after 2 heat cycles. Which were only a week or so apart. So I got an x-ray on her (very good pelvis and leg) no fractures or breaks. So pain meds for her.two days passed started limping and showing pain again so more pain meds. This has been going on for now 6 months. It keep repeating we’ve tried 2 weeks of rest in a pen and she would start limping or dragging her leg again. It is non stop and I can’t keep letting her live like this. She can’t run, she needs help getting up and down. She hides all the time from our other cats (they don’t bother her but she stays away because she is in pain) her leg is now twitching but only sometimes (her bad leg her left hind leg) I think it is a nerve issue. If I press my her tail (the top of her bad leg) she sinks it in as if it hurts. And I do not touch it hard. Her back is okay from what the vet said. It’s her top hip to knee area. Anyone know what it could be and what I might have to do. I’ve tried icing it, long periods of rest and soft massage. And within a couple days of rest she is limping again.i keep spending tons of money on vet bills (pain meds) and nothing is helping and I can’t keep letting her be like this. She never meows in pain. But I can see she is hurting and uncomfortable
2 AnswersCats2 years agoPlease help with vaginal bleeding when I shouldn’t be having it.?
Ive been on the depo shot since February of last year. Never had any side effects. About 2 months ago when me and my boyfriend would have sex I would bleed a little even tho it didn’t hurt at all and we used lube (I spotted for like 2 days) it got annoying so I went to the doctor and she told me to change lube. There is no difference and I have been bleeding for a straight month! Some day I gush blood and some days I’m light. Also I have never had a period on the depo shot so this bleeding kinda worried me. Also I have the cramps to go along with it:(
4 AnswersOther - Diseases2 years agoForgetfulness and confusion please I need advice.?
I’m 18. No drugs or alcohol or medicine. In June 2018 I started getting migraines and lashing out in anger. It got worse over time and in about September I started forgetting things and getting confused. Ex. I forget to eat or drink, and I’ve gotten confused and forgot my way home. I’m forget everything, and I also have trouble comprehending things now. I struggle taking tests now (in college) because I can’t remember even if I studied for days before hand. I’m exhausted all the time. I’ve actually lost weight from forgetting to eat and it scares me. My boyfriend has to remind me to eat. But even if I’m hungry nothing sounds good. So I’ll force myself to eat and after two bites I’m ready to throw up. Not all the time but most of the time. I really need help. I sleep all night and take naps and I still do not feel rested. I forget everything and it’s to the point where I hardly drive anymore because I’m afraid. Please help. I have no idea what it could be.
5 AnswersOther - Diseases2 years agoPlease help with reaccuring warts on fingers.?
So I had warts on my fingers specificially my thumb (4 on there) and on my index finger I had 1 then on the other hand I had a couple. I had them frozen off. They can back. I tried apple cider vinegar and the wart bandaids you get from Walmart to avoid the pain of getting them frozen off again (I have very sensitive skin so it was bad. I cried like a baby) so I had to get them frozen again and my dr froze them so deep (his words) and I could feel it. And now they are coming back again. That was about a year ago (when I had them last frozen off). What should I do. I hate the feel of watt and they look gross to me. But I don’t want to keep going to the doctor and have them frozen off. I’ve had my blood tested and nothing was abnormal (just stating)
1 AnswerSkin Conditions2 years agoPlease help with career please!!!!?
I have wanted to be a surgeon or a veterinarian my whole life and now I’m in college and can’t choose. Right now my major is agriculture for the veterinarian part but now I’m questioning. I’m not questioning because I like one over the other or cause of difficulty in classes. I love both equally and I cannot choose. And i would want to be a general surgeon or heart. I can’t decide what I want my major to be. And I don’t want to take unnecessary classes. I also want a home life(no kids) but I mean just being able to spend time with my spouse or boyfriend. I love animal and I would love to help them but I would like to help people too. I’m so confused and I’ve been struggling for a while. Money isnt my goal, being happy is, and I think both would make me happy. I just don’t want to take the wrong path and regret it and I’ve thought of the outcomes on both majors and like both equally. I’m stumped. Some days I want to be a vet more and some days I want to be a surgeon more. Please help. I love the science behind both.
2 AnswersHigher Education (University +)2 years agoHelp migraine and forgetfulness?
I’m 18. On antidepressant Ive been taking for a year.(no side effects from it) I don’t smoke, drink or do any drugs. I’m in college and of course I’m stressed a little but nothing major at all. I sleep pretty decent. For the past 5-6 months I have been getting headaches, and they get worse and worse. Most of them last all day now, I even wake up and my head is throbbing, I have a hard time talking now( I keep mixing up words) and I forget things all the time! I can’t even remember what I wore yesterday. It’s really irritating. My head is always hurting and is accompanied by nausea and I have blurry vision from time to time. I haven’t thrown up but I feel like complete crap. I don’t have allergies or cold or fever. I have take ibuprofen and Tylenol and that doesn’t help. I have to take a tramadol(pain pill) if it keeps going through the night so I can actually sleep. My doctor did bloodwork maybe 6 months or so ago and the results were perfect. So I don’t have thyroid or hypoglycemia problems. I also eat everyday and nothing seems to cause the headache. I just wake up and it’s there. And the only thing that helps is a pain pill which I hate taking cause they make me sleepy and I don’t like pills so please help!!!
2 AnswersOther - General Health Care2 years agoPermanent sterilization.”tube tying” questions.?
Right now I am 17. I know for sure I will have to wait to get my “tubes tied”.since I am still a minor. I do not want kids,for many reasons. Such as mental illness run in my family,cancer runs in my family. And I just don’t want a child. I know everyone will say “things will change when you get a husband” but funny thing is. I don’t want a husband, and if I get one I don’t want a child( I know that sounds selfish but it’s my body) I’ve heard people say you have to be in your 30’s to have a permanent sterilization. I think that is ... pardon my language... ******* STUPID. If a women wants her damn “tubes tied” then she should be able to. When you are 18 you can buy tobacco, you can vote and buy guns. And when you are 21 you can drink and stuff. But you have to be older to get your “tubes tied”. A women should have completely control over her body, as well as men should have complete control over there’s. But, sorry for my little argument. I just want a permanent sterilization... but I want to know the typical age and price(live in the U.S) thank you.

I'm still in high school. It is my junior year. I want to go to college to be a surgeon. I want to be a cardiovascular surgeon and a general surgeon. How many years would it take for both. I would specialize in general surgery first then cardio since cardio would probably take longer since its more complicated. Also how much would it cost. I'm really set on doing both. Thank you in advance.
