Clearish Blob On My Cornea - Corneal Abrasion Or Cancer?
Felt a few days ago that i had something in my eye like a gritty feeling with a dull ache, checked my eye and noticed a clearish blob on my cornea
Googled it and obviously eye cancer came up and i started to panic
Left it a few days the ache has gone but still have this gritty feeling
Took a photo of it today and you can clearly see it but its a brownish colour and is casting a shadow on my iris
Is this a corneal abrasion ?im visiting the opticians tomorrow to see what they can tell me just wondering in the meantime if anyone else has had anything similar?
HIV :: ARS Rash And Fever
I had unprotected oral sex when she was menstruating (tampon used) and also received oral sex. I am not sure with how many people she sleeps with. for intercourse condom was used. Condom was tested for no breakage later.
Now after two weeks I have epididymitis inflammation and hence lot of pain on my left testicle. I have given urethral swab for test of chlamydia and also urine for test. I am waiting for results. I am taking ciprofloxacin and it already helped reduce pain on my testicle after two doses.
now i have been having mild fever (37.5 - 38.4) ever since i started having the pain (two weeks after the exposure). also i have 3-4 rashes , dark purple (only one of them is big to the size of a bed bug) between my shoulder and elbow on my left arm. rest of the body seems fine.
irrespective of the probability that I may have caught chlamydia, is there any worry for HIV?
Shingles Without The Rash?
For the past week, I have had pain in my side...about the size of an apple. The skin is extremely sensitive to touch (even getting goosebumps makes me wince), and am getting sharp stabbing type pains. I went to my local emergency department. The nurse who looked me over first asked me many questions, and said that she believed I have shingles, although I don't have a rash. I have had shingles before, and it does feel the same...but when the Dr. came in, he said he has no clue going on, but that it can't be shingles without the rash. He didn't do any bloodwork, nothing. I know for a fact that a person can have shingles without a rash. What is even more confusing is that he prescribed me a muscle relaxer, some Naproxen, and a script to go to physiotherapy. Why would he do this if he doesn't know what it is, and why would he rule out the shingles without any tests?

View 1 RepliesAll Shingles Symptoms But NO Rash?
I had classic shingles symptoms but never got the rash (and my doctor diagnosed as shingles). Left side only, numbness, itching pain on one side of my neck/shoulder. Antivirals reduced pain and itchiness but I still remain totally numb there and occasionally having itching or slight pain at 8 weeks out.
Now my lips and the end of my tongue feel different...not numb or painful but just different enough that I notice it. I am trying not to be a hypochondriac...but it worries me that it is not Shingles and something more neurological- MS...etc... My gut tells me this is all related to the shingles but....
Has anyone else had a similar experience with symptoms like these?
My understanding that blood tests are fairly inconclusive..
Shingles :: Rash Disappeared In A Day?
I'd like to give you a synopsis of my last few days. I woke up Friday feeling sick with what I thought was allergies, which caused tons of sneezing fits, and body aches. I've been sleeping on my couch because my dog had surgery and cannot make it up the stairs. Anyway, Saturday I woke up feeling like I slept funny and had the start of a stiff neck. Over the next day or two the pain got progressively worse and seemed to originate by my spine on the left side. My skin is sensitive to touch on that side from my spine to my left breast. I have a deep agonizing pain in that entire area as well and the sensation goes down my arm. I noticed what I thought was a bruise on my back where the pain seemed to originate and I was having pain with every breath I took. On Tuesday I went to urgent care thinking maybe I fractured a rib from my sneezing fits because what else would have caused a bruise on my back when I had no falls and didn't bump into anything ?! In the urgent care the dr said I had shingles and had another dr come in to confirm it. I was put on antivirals and pain meds (which doesn't even touch the pain). Yesterday, Wednesday, I looked at my back and the bruise/rash was gone after only 3 doses of meds but I am still in intense pain. Basically my question is is it truly shingles with the mark going away so soon and is the pain of shingles so deep in the muscles that it hurts to walk, sit or move? Should I be getting another opinion?
View 7 RepliesGonorrhea And HIV Are Often Contracted Together? Rash ..
I am a gay male who has had confirmed gonorrhea and has been treated successfully (injection with antibiotics and regular tablets).
My GP insists that I also undergo a HIV test, since gonorrhea and HIV are often contracted together. I got the gonorrhea from unprotected oral sex. At the same time I also had protected anal sex (as a top).
While I wasn't that concerned, I started to develop a minor rash on my chest, shoulders and arms. Could this be a HIV primary infection rash or could it be due to the antibiotics (ten days ago), stress.
Allergies :: Rash Or Hives Only In USA
I am an Australian who has been travelling to USA annually for the last 6 years.
Every time I visit the USA, after approx 4 or 5 days I break out in itchy, red bumps (hives?) all over my torso and upper arms. The outbreak lasts as long as I stay in the USA, and subsides almost completely within 24-48hrs after returning to Australia.
I have stayed at different hotels each time, so I don't think bedding can be blamed, and there is not a particular food I believe triggers this...
What could it be in USA that I am so allergic to, that does not exist in Australia. I travel the world extensively for work and have not experienced the rash in any other region either.
Antihistamines (Benadryl) does not seem to help at all.
Is there some food additives/preservatives that are unique to USA that I may be sensitive to?
Shingles :: Pain Without The Rash
For about two weeks I was experiencing pain on my right side, around my rib area to under my breast bone. It was an odd pain, nothing like I've had before, it felt as though someone punched me really hard. I thought it was just a muscle strain from so much coughing as I had pneumonia, but the pain didn't go away when the cough did, the pain got worse, and it was constant and would not respond to over the counter pain meds. It got to the point I was crying from the pain. All I can describe it as if someone beat the s**t out of me and left me there, or a car ran over my side. I had no burning, no tingling, no rash. It is a scary pain.
Nonetheless I was still diagnosed with shingles, and given antivirals and pain meds. Within a week I felt a lot better, now the pain is mostly gone, thank God.
Shingles also makes you feel lightheaded, faint, weak, unwell in yourself, not right. Before I got the pain I had a few days of feeling really weak and not right and thought I was going to pass out. Funny that as I remember a day before I got Chicken Pox, years ago, I felt really off.
Terrible thing to get. Now fearing getting it again so will look into a vaccine.
Just wanted to post this in case there are any of you who are wondering if its possible to have shingles without the rash. Yes, it is. Not common, but possible. It is also possible for the band of pain to shift, rather than just stay in one place. In my case my pain started on my right side, then went to my left side, same area of my rib/breastbone.
Hope this helps some people - if this is you, go to your doctor, the anti virals really work fast and the pain meds make it bearable. Paracetamol is not enough for this. Neither is co-codamol. You need either a med that dulls the nerve endings, or an opiate.
Trimethoprim :: Red Rash On My Chest And Palpitations
I was given Trimethoprim (on its own) to treat a water infection and a cough, and about 20 minutes after taking it, my top lip swelled up and my mouth went numb. I also had blotchy, red rash on my chest and palpitations.
Turns out I am actually allergic to Trimethoprim...this was the first time I had ever been prescribed it. A few other people I have spoke to, also said that they have had bad reactions to this medicine.
Low Fever And Rash In The Month After C-section
I was pregnant with my first child when the following happened;
- at 27 wks began to have multiple lymph nodes swollen along both sides of my neck
- low grade fever which was controlled by taking a paracetamol
- dark urine color
- at 28 wks I was admitted to hospital and started to have severe oedema
- blood results showed my uric acid, creatine and alk phosphate, ferritin, c-reactive were high - with WBC critically high
- Hemoglobin, RBC, platelet, Albumin was low
- I had difficulty breathing (constant heart rate of 135), a scan of my heart showed it was lacking liquid
- blood pressure was fine
- Baby was taken out via c-section at 28.5 weeks where my condition worsened before starting to get better
- in the month after baby was taken out I continued to have low grade fever and developed a rash
- My blood work returned to normal in 2 months after being admitted to hospital with steroids
The doctors never found out what the cause was, please advise if you have heard of a similar case?
