I recently got my blood test results and found out my eosinophils were 5%, which is high. My WBC count dropped from 9.2 to 4.1, and eosinophils increased from 0.3 to 5% over 3-4 weeks. I've been experiencing right middle/upper abdominal pain and abnormal bowel movements for about 2 years, with more severe pain starting 3 weeks ago and recurring 4 days ago. Could this be related to celiac disease, given my family history of gluten intolerance? What could the abdominal pain be, and should I be concerned about waiting for an abdominal ultrasound?

I was in the ER due to a kidney stone and discovered I have a 4.8 cm left adnexal cyst from a CT scan report. The doctor didn't mention this to me. What should I know about this cyst?

I have been experiencing diarrhea since June 13, and I have been diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma since March 7. The diarrhea started again after eating fresh cherries on June 12. The stool is very liquidy and bright yellow, resembling bile. My cancer has metastasized to the liver. My oncologist prescribed Flagyl, which did not help. What could be causing this diarrhea, and what additional tests should I consider?

I have been experiencing tingly, crawling sensations that are triggered by certain activities like reading with a book on my lap or sitting with legs crossed. The symptoms seem to be related to pressure on the affected area. The Urgent Care doctor suggested another prostate exam or another month of antibiotics, but I'm concerned about increasing inflammation. Do you think the issue is just inflammation, possibly still slightly infected? Should I continue with the antibiotics, and are you confident the infection won't return once I stop them?

I have been experiencing symptoms such as ear pain, headaches, tinnitus, dizziness, and weight loss due to stress. My MRI is clear, but I am still waiting for blood results. My ENT diagnosed me with allergic rhinosinusitis, and I have been using Avamys nasal spray. I am concerned about the inflammation or irritation seen in my EEG and the possibility of a circulation issue. My doctor here insists I take Stugeron. What sort of issue do I have, and what can I do to feel better?
