My husband (58) has occasional scattered T2 signal abnormalities on MRI, most likely ischemic, most prominently in the left frontal lobe. I'm wondering if the cause is related to his older brother's (72) FTD diagnosis or his long-term alcohol use. What should I know about these findings?

My type 2 diabetes is out of control, but after a divorce I'm without insurance. I'm only 5'9 (female) and 110 lbs. I need to gain weight, but my glucose is high even after eating what I think to be healthy. I need help. How long have you been concerned about diabetes? Are you currently using any medications, either for diabetes or anything else? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

My blood pressure has been increasing over the day from 133/79 with a heart rate of 70 to 171/70 with a heart rate of 58. I am not on any medications and have been experiencing lightheadedness when standing up and a queasy feeling in my chest. I have been borderline high blood pressure for the last year and follow a vegan diet, do not smoke, or drink alcohol. What should I do?

I am a 24-year-old male experiencing dysuria and mucosal-like discharge for the past 14 days. The symptoms started with dysuria that worsened over time. I have had a slight ache in my right testicular area that comes and goes. I visited a doctor last year who found nothing concerning, and I had STD tests that came back negative. I finished a course of doxycycline two days ago, but the pain is still present (though lessened) and the discharge has worsened. I started a prescription of cipro two days ago, originally prescribed for urethritis. Is any of this consistent with the possibility of testicular cancer, and what further steps should I take?
