If one has suspected lymphoma, with B-symptoms as described under the different types of lymphoma, is it possible to feel better with antibiotics? Would the lymph nodes come and go as they do with me? If I am suspected to have sarcoid, does it cause the tingling feeling of needle pinch-like, lightly, on random parts of the body? Are these feelings of itch/pinch and night foot heat-up from anxiety, stress? What about that feet-heating feeling at night? Do you think that pneumonia can last very long in the hilar lymph nodes? Is it normal to have a light lingering cough after pneumonia? Are all cancerous lymph nodes painless and appear gradually? If the lumps went, is that a good sign that they were reactive changes to an underlying infection?

I have been seeing a guy for the past three months, and in the last two weeks, there has been light-colored blood after intercourse. I recently had a smear test showing I may have a bacterial infection and some abnormalities. Should I be worried, and could this be related?

I had an abrupt pain in my right pelvic region two weeks ago, which has since moved to my lower back on the right side. The pain is severe when sitting and feels like a burning sensation. My doctor suspects it's my SI joint, but I'm concerned it could be related to my colon issues or even cancer, as my sister had similar symptoms and died from cancer at the age of 39. What could this be, and what tests or treatments should I consider?

About three weeks ago, the vision in my left eye suddenly deteriorated. I'm 53, male, and my vision is no longer in sync. The vision is fuzzy, almost as if my eye is not fully opened. It just came on so suddenly. I woke up one morning and the vision was greatly reduced. Any suggestions?

I am a 49-year-old female with a history of hypothyroidism, currently on Synthroid. I have been experiencing a series of frightening symptoms including heart palpitations, digestive issues, constipation, chest and mid-thoracic spine pain, hypoglycemic-like symptoms, dizziness, weakness, tingling in limbs, headaches, and internal tremors. My TSH level is 2.495, and I believe I may be overmedicated. Is it safe to stop taking Synthroid temporarily to see if symptoms subside? How long does it take for Synthroid to leave my system, and how long before I might see improvement if the symptoms are medication-related? Are there non-medication or bioidentical hormone treatments for hypothyroidism?

I have had 23 biopsies done on my breast, mostly on the right side, with no cancer found in any of them. I have cystic fibrocystic disease and still have fibroids despite being post-menopausal. I don't want to continue getting biopsies and surgeries. Do I have to continue these procedures, especially since there is no family history of breast cancer?
