Have Multiple Health Issues. Can Any Opaline Doctor Help?
I sure hope so. I just had a biopsy of a lymph node under my right arm - it was 45x20x8mm. Appears benign they said. Blood work all fine. Have sjogrens - dry eyes (have plugs in) dry mouth (multiple mouth sores). Losing weight- not rapidly but a feat for me. I have Graves disease - hard to diagnos as I gained weight rather than lost. My sister did also. My body has recently stopped absorbing the synthroid . I m 5 4 have gone from 236 to 146 in 2 years -I have no appetite . A food doesn t really taste a lot and some hurts with the mouth sores. I also have enlarged nodes under my left arm (biopsy in 2011) and in my groin , but not in my neck. I have raynauld s which has taken to being much more active in the last 3-6 months. I don t feel my scalp when I wash my hair in the morning. Throughout the day all my fingers turn purple then white then numb. I have tried typing with gloves and have taken a space heater to my desk. I sweat at night, but always have - like since my 30. Oh yeah I have asthma and am bi-polar II. Am I right to be concerned we ve gone this long without any reasons for the enlarged nodes etc etc? Louise Loban 12-23-60 dr Cecil in Brookings is my family dr. Dr Fanciullo in SF is my Rheumotogist, Dr Tolentino in SF is my hemotlogist/oncologist and Dr Bauer has been the surgeon for both biopsies. Louise Loban 605-690-0459 YYYY@YYYY
