My partner was diagnosed with celiac disease last week. In solidarity, I decided to get tested using a mail-order kit from Everlywell. I tested positive for TTG IgA, but I never really had symptoms. How accurate is the Everlywell test? If I see my doctor, what other test should I recommend? How many people have celiac disease without symptoms?

What sort of test do I need to diagnose a lump in the palm of my hand that I first noticed about 6 weeks ago? The lump is rock hard, fixed, and doesn’t go away. I am 67 years old, have SVT, Sjogrens Syndrome, Focal Nodular Hyperplasia, and have a history of a myxoma removal. I take gabapentin for back pain and Nexium for acid reflux.

I am a 54-year-old female with normal blood pressure but slightly overweight, and I have Protein C and Protein S deficiencies. My twin sister suffered a PE at age 24, and our mother had a stroke in her late 40s, leading to vascular dementia. Should I be concerned about my weight, given my family history and blood conditions?

I have a sore throat, earache, and headache. I am currently in freezing temperatures and wondering if these symptoms can be caused by the cold. If so, what can be done about it?

Why is my scrotum tight when standing or walking, only loose when lying or sitting? I had a vasectomy about 12 years ago and have a bicuspid aortic valve. I sometimes feel a larger lump on the bottom of my left testicle and mild discomfort on my upper left leg. My genital hair also feels sensitive, and my urine is sometimes darker. What could be causing these symptoms?
