the problem goes this way..i went to laboratory to chech on my platelets and the result was 130 (it was done manually using unopette method and blood smear)so it is obviously below the normal value so i doubt about the result because i didn't have any fever and i am active.so, i went to another laboratory for second opinion,they get another sample again and the result is around 250 using automated machine..my question is, is it possible that there is a difference in platelet counting after 2 hours interval??how would they justify it?i will wait for your response regarding this matter..thank you

Myself being from the south does not mean that I don't care about the north where the disease is spreading fast. I pray to dear Allah that this calamity will be contained soon enough by our doctors.

I am a 19 year old male who has had a skin tag maybe half the size of a pencil eraser in my armpit ever since I can remember. For all I know I was born with it.
A few days ago I bumped it or something and noticed that it felt kind of painful. I've had it forever and it never really bothered me before so i thought that this was kind of odd. It has been painful like this for a couple days now. It is not all that painful, just hurts a bit when I move it around. It feels like it only hurts on the stalk. I noticed that it has also changed in color. It always used to be just slightly darker than the skin around it, but it has gotten a very dark brown almost black. The stalk appears to be maybe a bit red and irritated looking.

I have read on the internet that these things rarely ever or actually do not become cancerous or anything, but I am still really worried. Is it possibly cancer? Should I go to the doctor or is it just getting ready to fall off?

I been having pains in my chest, right underneath the rib cage. It starts off with a small pain, sharp feel. Then the pain gets worst, on a pain scale 1-10 its about a 10+. My vision then gets really dark, I feel like I'm going to pass out, and I break out into a sweat. While all of this happens the pain slowly goes away. This happend to me at work once and my co-workers told me also that I turn white as a ghost and my eyes role in the back of my head. I have been telling doctors about this for a couple of months now and they don't seem concerned cuz its not in their field of expertise. These episodes only happend four times since March.

Or maybe thinking "one day i'll have that disease" and you get it. Is it really possible? Does mind over matter exist when it comes to disease?

Just a little thing to mention. Farrah Faucett, former Charlie's Angel, has cancer. She used to be the spokesperson for the American Cancer Society back in the 70's. Kate Jackson AND Jaclyn Smith, the other two angels, also had cancer. Ryan O'Neal, Farrah's former lover, had leukemia. Does cancer have a tendency to reach so many people in a very coincidental way?

What antibiotic were you prescribed to help treat it? What kind of physician do you recommend? Please help I’m too young for this I’m in my early 20’s.

When I come back after a few hours or wake up in the morning (especially when the window is closed), the living room will smell bad. I assume there is mold growing in the carpet. Would an air purifier stop it from smelling?
