The condition I suffer from is Hashitmoto's and right now I'm having to lower my medication as it is too high. However, I'm still not losing weight nor do I have any more energy.

He does absolutely nothing to try & get rid of it. He has been given several diff. medicines for it, but they don't know what might work, because he puts it on for 2 days & then quits if he doesn't see immediate results. Is it wrong for her to ask him to wear long sleeves whenever they go out together ?

I've always had low white blood cells, meaning around 3.8. Recently when I've been sick my tests reveal 2.5-2.7 levels. What's up with this?
My doctor sent me to a Hematologist to do blood work and I am still nervous waiting for replies. I am HIV negative, and some Lupus tests that my pcp tests me on came back negative, and hepatitis was negative...
My hematologist wants to do her tests for Lupus, and something related to Lymphoma b/c my lymph were high at 68 and the ones in my neck have been swollen.
I am a little nervous. I am married and have a 2 year old.
Any advice? Also is there anything dietary related to increase my WBCs?
Thanks in advance.

When you go to the doctor to be checked for hypoglycemia or diabetes, is it better to go on an empty stomach when you're feeling the symptoms of low blood sugar? I went on a full stomach and all they could tell me was that my sugar was 103 and that I just have a high metabolism and I need to eat more. I eat all day long as it is! Whenever my sugar has been tested when I'm feeling the symptoms, I've been between 34-23. The doctor took my blood and ran some labs, and everything came back normal. So, if I'm still experiencing all the symptoms when I'm doing what she told me (taking vitamins, eating more, eating smaller, drinking juice, etc), is it possible that because I was tested on a full stomach that it was overlooked? Or can you see hypoglycemia/diabetes no matter what?

I know most vaccines works worldwide. But as far as I know, flue shot is a special case. You have to get local shots. Am I right?

I drink a lot of hot black tea with soy milk. Lately I've been adding thistle honey (wow, this makes me sound like a pretentious foodie, yikes), and I've noticed that it makes my lips and nose swell and tingle, and my tongue goes slightly numb. It doesn't seem to have any effect on my breathing. I've never had any honey allergies before; could I be allergic to the thistle pollen in the honey?

More importantly, is this something I should be worried about? I like the taste of the honey, and the tingling is kind of pleasant, if weird; do I need to quit drinking it?

is there anyway for hospital to keep the patient seems alive?
my grandma has been unconscious in hospital for around 4 months, she did some surgeries. she suffers from diabetes..

she is taken care in a developing country hospital, the hospital is owned by private, so the hospital could be profit based. most of the hospital in my country have this kind of problem. somekind like malpractice?

my question is that is there anyway for the hospital to keep the patient seems alive, just to make profit from my grandma?

if it is possible, what do you suggest should i do?

thank you

My grandfather just found out he has cancer of the esophagus. I have done some reading and I have no illusions of him beating this disease. He is 80 years old and has led a good life. I want to know what his death will be like. I had an uncle die from lung cancer last year and it was the worst thing I have ever seen. He was completely unrecognizable when he died. Please tell me this won't happen to my grandfather.
