			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>My son is now 21 months old. He was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and Anemia in Februray. He has been on insulin and iron supplements ever since. He was also born with hip dysplasia and enlarged kidneys (but kidneys are now normal). My child just looks sick. He is pale with dark circles under his eyes and seems to stay fatigued. He sweats a LOT whenever he sleeps (i do not know if thi is a symptom). People are asking me if he was always this pale or if he's feeling ok??<br />
<br />
About 2 weeks ago he fell and hit his head and began vomiting. I took him to the ER where they did a CT and it was fine. Sent us home and the vomiting continued throughout the week (I notified our endocrinologist at all times to keep Diabetes under control) by Friday we were unable to get rid of the ketones and we were admitted in the hospital for 4 days. No one really could figure out what is going on. They did notice that his iron level is low and he has a poor appetite. (blood tests to follow) so they issued further testing at the Mayo Clinic. <br />
<br />
I do not have the results from the Mayo Clinic except that he tested negative for Sickle Cell and Chrohn's Disease and that his Ferratin level was a 6.<br />
<br />
I do have blood labs from the evening he hit his head and we were in ER. You will see elevated WBC, RBC and RDW CV and low MCV, MCH, MCHC. <br />
<br />
<b>MEASUREMENT      RESULT     RANGE<br />
</b>WBC                          19.10          3.70-13.20<br />
RBC                           5.75            3.70-5.30<br />
HGB                           9.2              10.5-13.5<br />
HCT                           33.2           33.0-39.0<br />
CV                              57.7            70.0-86.0<br />
MCH                          16.0            23.0-31.0<br />
MCHC                       27.7            31.0-37.0<br />
Platelet Count           375             192-486 <br />
RDW CV                   18.9            11.4-13.9<br />
**All neutrophils, lymhocytes, etc were normal<br />
<br />
My biggest questions are if it is cancer related, bone marrow disorder, or a blood disorder? Since the Mayo Clinic results said they could not rule out an abnormality it makes me very nervous that it is not just Iron Deficiency Anemia. Any input is appreciated!!<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />
Worried Momma!</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I'm seventeen and for several years now I've been dealing with severe joint pain. It comes and goes, usually two weeks at a time, and during those two weeks every joint in my body has a dull and achy pain. It's gotten to the point where I've had to stop running and it's even difficult for me to walk and write sometimes. I've had countless blood tests done, and every time they have come back negative for Lyme's disease. They also don't think it's arthritis, because there is no swelling. Based on the fact that these are my only symptoms, what could I possibly have? I'm getting another blood test done soon so if the results change I'll post them, I just want to figure out what's going on so I can get it treated properly :(<br />
thank you!</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><span style="font-family: Times New Roman"><font color="#000000">My mother  age 67 was suffering from headache since from Jan 2013. She went to local doctor, who has given some painkillers.  After a week  he referred us to ENT. ENT specialist gave her some medicines of cough and cold plus acidity medicines. But headache continued, so he advised us for neurologist. Then we went to neurologist. He advised for CT scan and Thyroid test in Feb 2013. We did it, reports were normal. So he gave some medicines. With these medicines she was not comfortable, headache continued. So she went to MBBS general physician in March 2013. He gave some tablets like vertin and pain killers. But no effect, then he advised us to meet orthopedic. Then we went to orthopedic, he suggested for neck Xray. We did it, it was normal, again he gave some painkillers. But still headache was there, she was having feeling of vomiting, her diet was reduced and she became very weak. On 19<sup>th</sup> April 2013 we admitted her in hospital because her headache was continued and she was unable to walk as she was very weak. On 20<sup>th</sup> April her headache was severe. Doctor took her for MRI1.5 test. Because of severe pain she was not stable and radiologist was not able to take images, so he called anesthesia specialist. After anesthesia they took the images but after 3 hours she has a seizure and immediately she has been shifted to ICU. She was unconscious for 24 hours. After that she opened the eyes but she was unable to recognize the persons and she was continuously speaking some irrelevant matter. We shocked. Till then MRI report came, but radiologist said report is abnormal. But he is unable to find the abnormality. Then neurologists came they also said its challenging and difficult case. Finally they draw the conclusion that her sodium level is down (119). They started sodium correction. For 2 days there was no improvement in her condition. After 2 days little improvement was there, that she started recognizing us. From ICU she shifted to room. And now she shifted to home, but her diet intake is very poor, delirium  is there and she can not stand, walk herself. She vomits diet. Doctor is not giving any remedies over this. We went to big hospital also. There also doctor is not giving answer. What can be the problem? Every doctor says, case is difficult and complicated. But what is the complication? and what is the difficulty? no one is answering.</font></span></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>When I was a kid, I had very bad sore throats that made me very ill.  I was often on antibiotics and I was often very tired.  I didn't like my school doctor at all (he frightened me) and I'd only ask to see him if I felt really bad.  Whilst being checked out again by this school doctor (I was about 12 years old) he suddenly looked very worried one day after seeing my throat again and he immediately checked my head for any scabs.  He asked me if I had found any scabs on my scalp as it was very important to tell him as it was the symptom of something very rare that needed to be treated.  I lied to him and said that I had found nothing whereas in the morning before seeing the doctor I found 2 or 3 scabs on my scalp when I was brushing my hair.  I never told him or anyone about this as he had completely frightened me.  Today (nearly 30 years on) I still think about this.  I had my tonsils taken out when I turned 18 and I feel a lot better today though I always feel so tired and wonder if there is a link to this old story.  <br />
Could I have some advice on this, I would be very grateful, thank you.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi there,<br />
<br />
I really need some help with what's been going on whenever i get my period. <br />
<br />
Ever since i got my first period when I was 12, i have experienced severe pain everytime. The first time i fainted and i have fainted about 4 times since then, but not recently. On the first day of my period i usually get severe cramps and also vomit practically everytime i get it. The cramps and pain last for about 4-5 hours and usually i have to resort to lying in bed and taking painkillers which doesn't help that much. I also usually break out in a cold sweat and the pain in my stomach sort of comes in waves. <br />
<br />
My last period was one of the worst i have had. When the pain started, unfortunately i was on the bus home and i began sweating and went very pale and had an excruciating pain in my stomach. I could tell i was going to be sick so i got off and ended up vomiting in the bathroom of a shopping centre and felt very ill. I called my mum to come pick me up and when we were driving home, the cramps continued and i was in tears because of the pain. I also had this weird tingling/ pins and needles in my hands and legs for about 30 mins in the car which i have never had before. When i got home i went to bed and suddenly became very cold and was shivering in bed… the pain went after about 3 hours but it was really bad while it lasted. <br />
<br />
I am also thinking i may have PCOS… i have acne, excess body hair and very irregular periods (as long as 50 days and as short as 20). Do you think you could help me out? What may i have and how can it be fixed? I am thinking about going to the doctor next week to get a diagnosis… what should i say to them about what i have been experiencing? <br />
<br />
Sorry for the lonf post hahaa, just really need sone help! Thanks :D</div>
