My friend has phlebitis and cellulitis in her right leg. She was given penicillin, but it hasn't worked and she is now without medication. She is in severe pain and unable to walk, which has confined her to her home for the past two months.

My wife has been experiencing pain at the base of her head on the right side, headaches, numbness, tingling, burning sensations in her arms, hands, and feet, balance issues, fatigue, and weight loss. She has seen multiple specialists and undergone various tests, including X-rays, MRIs, and an EMG, but no definitive cause has been found. She has been tested for autoimmune diseases and infections, with only slightly elevated liver counts due to pain meds. The neurosurgeon suggested seeing an autoimmune doctor, but she wants to see a neurologist. What autoimmune diseases could cause these symptoms, and what other central nervous system (CNS) disorders should she be evaluated for?

I was carrying my 40-pound child and a basket of laundry through deep snow up a long driveway, and began to feel a fast pounding heartbeat, then felt immediately nauseated and dizzy, lightheaded. This was 7 hours ago, and I still feel a little off, with occasional fast pounding heartbeats. I am 140 lbs, 5'6, 42 years old, female, have excellent cholesterol, and had a recent EKG, which was fine. Should I be worried?
