My husband came down with vomiting and diarrhea last Friday morning at 1am. He only had the vomiting symptoms for 24 hours, but it is now Wednesday and he has just felt unwell, describing the feeling as constipated, which he never has a problem with. He is still going to the toilet but with just tight cramping uncomfortable feeling and his poo has been pale in color since he first came down sick. The whole family has been down sick with the bug before him and it has just been the standard 24-hour illness. He has started taking electrolyte sachets 2 days ago to try to help as it’s all we have as we live remotely. Would there be certain foods you would suggest he try and eat? Has he seen a doctor about the cramping? Anything else in his medical history you think the doctor should know?

The doctor releases the patient under his care, stating that pain can only be managed through medication. Does this mean nothing else can be done to be pain-free? Are there any options to manage pain and occasional numbness of the affected area, and how can a disputed FCE report be contested?

Should I be worried about a 454 platelet count, and could it be higher due to having flu-like symptoms? I got this result at the gynecologist, and the nurse referred me to a hematologist, which has made me anxious about possibly having cancer. Additionally, they suspect I have a fibroid on my uterus, and I have difficulty with gynecological exams due to a condition where my vagina clenches up. What should I do about the platelet count and my gynecological issues?
