My 43-year-old daughter had meningitis at age 2 with a 107 fever, and now at age 43, she had a seizure that required hospitalization. All tests came out ok, but doctors suggest her childhood meningitis could be the reason for her seizure. Could that be true? She never had any problems or learning issues and is a lawyer.

My CBC test results show a white blood cell count of 5.0 (3.8-10.8 Thousand/uL) and other cell counts within normal ranges. Should I be concerned about my white blood cell count being at the lower end of the normal range, and is there any specific item I should monitor closely?

My pelvic floor physical therapist is recommending dry needling to relax my pelvic floor muscles. Do you believe this will be effective, and what are the risks and alternatives?

I have been experiencing arm pain, specifically in the elbow areas on both arms, which sometimes radiates to the forearms. The pain started in July, went away, and then returned recently. I have neck stiffness due to stress and anxiety, and I recently discovered a vitamin D deficiency. The pain seems to flare up when my anxiety is high and comes and goes throughout the day, especially at night. Is this pain likely due to anxiety, tendinitis, or a combination of both?

How much should I worry about COVID transmission from entering a room where a potentially infected person has been, specifically in public restrooms or restaurants when picking up take-out? I live in the Northeastern US, which currently has low COVID numbers.
