Diseases & Conditions - 18 September 2006

My blood work has come again and again (being this my sixth blood work) with this result : Recurring leukocytosis and elevated neutrophils the nurse finally called and they have refered me to an hematology/oncology specialist....although that is great news I am going to be seen by a specialist yippiiii but my most concern was never answerd by my doctor....i did in fact asked her upfront if It was a possibility for me to have developed leukemia. Due to the fact that it has been close to my family (my aunt) and i happen to know the blood is similar results to mine but I wanted to know. Never answer. Instead im called with this result and a phone number to call....which of course i am because the sooner the better. But can anybody please explain to me what this means?..thanks soooo much!!

I know that it can be hereditary and that it's more common for people who suffer with obesity have a higher risk of it, but if you eat a lot of sugar, are you at risk for it too? Just curious!

I really dont know if this detail is appropriate for this forum but i really need help. I had a girlfriend before that i had sex often times. She admitted that i wasnt her first time and it was okay with me. I never thought she was dirty or infected until one day my penis hurt while i was urinating. Then i remembered that one time i attempted to have anal sex with her. i think i inserted my penis for an inch until she pulled it out cause it was painful for her. then i inserted it back into her vagina and cummed there. I remembered friends talking that once you have anal sex, dont insert your penis back to the vagina for it can cause STD. Is that true? Or is it my girlfriend that is infected that time? I havent gone to a doctor until now but when i urinate, it isnt as painful as before. Sometimes i find blood with my urine. Am i sterile now? What should i do? Please help me!!!!

Just when you see a particular disease and think it could not possibly get any worse, there's always another one which is twice as worse

I have been to the doc earlier this summer & he did not know what it was. Now it's flared up worse, and he cannot get me in again for 3 weeks. My hands are red, puffy, and starting to itch. The skin around the nail beds is red & swollen. The rash on my chest and arms was growing new skin, but now has turned red again. It is warm to the touch. I am not expecting a diagnosis, but just wondered if anyone has ever seen anything like this?
