Question 1

could having autoimmune disease effect syphilis test 
if you have a syphilis chancer on tongue could you develop another one somewhere else if you ie licked fingers?

Accepted Answer

Auto-inoculation?: Transfer of infection to a new area of the body is called auto-inoculation. It is very rare with syphilis, but might happen once in a while. Chancre of the mouth is uncommon and probably your tongue ulcer (or whatever you have noticed) isn't syphilis. But if you've possibly been at risk, don't take chances:  see a doctor and get tested. Autoimmune disease makes no difference one way or the other.

Question 2

what autoimmune disease could cause a significant decrease in sensation from head to toe and if not why would this not be possible?

Accepted Answer

Autoimmune: Complex question.  Any autoimmune disorder that can alter the central nervous system could cause sensory changes.  Ms, lupus, sjogren's and many diseases that are not exactly autoimmune but cause inflammation or demyelination can cause this (b12 deficiency, et al).  There are some peripheral neuropathies that can be autoimmune and cause numbness.  See a good neurologist.

Question 3

chances of tonsil cancer in a 27 year old that has autoimmune disease; who is a non smoker? ent and primary has seen my unilateral tonsils, no concern

Accepted Answer

I would not worry: If your ENT is not worried, you should not worry.

Doctors are like the workman who only has a hammer and to whom everything looks like a nail. If that workman tells you that you don't have a nail, you can be darned sure you don't have a nail.

Your ENT takes out tonsils. If he tells you your tonsils don't need taking out, they don't need taking out.

Question 4

is extreme burning in the back of your head (with low grade fever and an intense brain vibration feeling) a common symptom of an autoimmune disease?

Accepted Answer

Fever and headache: With a fever, the first thing to consider would be a possible infection.  Autoimmune diseases are typically considered once an infection or other conditions have been ruled out.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

: It is more than usual but does not seem to be too much radiation. Pl discuss in future this concern with both the ordering MD and the radiologist. Many CTs can be done with low dose now. Good luck.

Question 6
