Accepted Answer

: Your WBC’s just slightly lower, but I think that you will be alright.  Since WBC’s are part of the defense mechanism, you can ask your Physician to have blood work done more regularly.  Don’t be scared.  I think that you will be okay.  Continue with a healthy lifestyle.👍👍☺️☺️

Question 5

i just missed my period what are the signs i could b pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Can I be pregnant?: We now live in a world where we do not use ambiguous signs or symptoms to diagnose pregnancy. Home pregnancy tests are readily available in all communities. If you were sexual during your last ovulation and your period is now delayed then it is time to get a pregnancy test.

Question 6

will there be signs of conception just 2wks after conception?

Accepted Answer

Maybe. Maybe not.: A woman of childbearing age who has some nausea (with or without vomiting), some fatigue (feels less energetic), a sharper/stronger sense of smell, mild soreness/swelling of her breasts, and maybe some food aversions and cravings... could be pregnant. Symptoms can occur before missing a period, but not every woman feels symptoms so early.

Question 7

i have degeneritive discs and i took tylon1 for about 3years just a about every day at high doses nothing over 4000mg.what would be signs of harm?

Accepted Answer

Not to worry: Clinical evidence of end-organ (hepatic or occasionally renal) toxicity is often delayed 24-48 hours postingestion.  Early on patients may be asymptomatic or report anorexia, nausea or vomiting, and malaise. Right upper quadrant abdominal pain, anorexia, nausea, and vomiting are later symptoms.

If this regular excessive use is in the past, you are almost certainly fine now.

Question 9

what to do if i just had surgery and showing signs of fibromyalgia?

Accepted Answer

Loss of muscle tone: My theory is that people who become sedentary and incapacitated lose global muscle tone, which potentiates them to greater expression of musculoskeletal instability leading to widespread chronic muscle spasms and trigger point development.  They develop pain to palpation of motor points in spastic muscles.  One solution is aquatherapy and regaining of muscle tone.

Question 10

Clinical picture: A constellation of behaviors and patterns of thought that tend to run together. Powerful focus on a few narrow intellectual areas. Poor physical coordination. Much difficulty reading and understanding other people. Rapid mechanical speech. The tendency to be a jerk without realizing it is distressing both to the aspie and to others. Focus of rx is on learning to be a diplomat -- can help us all.
