Avatar f tn I've been trying to eat healthy and I have shrimp salads or chicken salads for dinner, breakfast is usually kix cereal or honey nut cherios with a banana and coffee. For lunch just have a sandwich on a healthy bread and use mustard instead of mayo. For snacks I enjoy fruit , pretzels, yogurt, rice cakes, or carrots. There's a great website called myfitnesspal.com it has been helping me out alot! Goodluck and I hope this helped!
1548028 tn?1324612446 because his fingernail beds are blood red. They have never been like this and he has been having some of the shooting pain (the same as always...) but to his heart, left sided numbness, temporal headaches and the darn ZAPS that are worse than usual. I took him and they did a EKG and blood work. EKG normal and blood work not back yet. I called Neuro here to let him know and ask if this is something I should worry about. He ordered more test that he wanted last night.
Avatar m tn When pick it us it went under my fingernail and i can not tell if it made blood contact. Should I be concerned of getting hep c or and other various std's or diseases?
1833444 tn?1325557062 Agreeing with Advocate1955, be sure to discuss this with your doctor. There's a condition called 'Terry's Nails' that is sometimes associated with advanced liver disease: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry's_nails It doesn't really sound as though this is what you're describing, but you should let them know regardless.
Avatar f tn Is fingernails determine who the father is?
Avatar f tn Why is my fingernail on my middle finger starting to pull away from my skin and turn white and the bottom half is pitting and peeling? What could this be?
Avatar m tn You would definitely want to ask your doctor that question. I saw an article in a medical magazine in a hospital waiting room that said that the sperm are a bigger factor in health of a baby than previously realized. Smoking, drinking, poor sleep, poor diet, high stress, and toxins all take a toll on sperm, weakening them. I think it's a great question and worth researching.
Avatar m tn You're welcome to go check out my journal; What I've lost due to Health Issues tells more about my story, and my timeline of health issues for my next neurologist is there, too. I've found that you can make changes if you do them one at a time. Like, leave the mayo off the burger. Get used to that. Leave the cheese off. Try a whole wheat bun. Try adding tomato slices, lettuce, etc. Try using ground turkey breast instead of ground beef. You get my drift.
Avatar f tn If this person is older they could have had a grandma seizure which represents signs of a stroke I would also ask the doctor to take a full urine check and make sure that the electrolytes are at a sustainable level. Magnesium (low) can be very hard on the body and is vital to ones health so definitely ask the doctor as to whether the renal function of the patient is at a good level. Please ask if you have any further questions.
Avatar n tn Can HIV be transmitted if semen got underneath a fingernail? In otherwords, is the tissue underneath the fingernail vulnerable to passing HIV into the blood stream?
Avatar m tn appearance, with no lunula (the crescent-shaped whitish area of the bed of a fingernail). It is thought to be due to a decrease in vascularity. Hence there appears a red or brown distal transverse band on the tip of fingernail. It is found in severe liver disease like cirrhosis, diabetes mellitus, congestive heart failure, hyperthyroidism, and/or malnutrition. Since your liver enzymes are normal, chances are less likely that you have terry nails.
Avatar m tn Do you think the virus will transfer from my hand to zipper to then underneath my fingernail? Is it possible to get underneath the fingernail from a small metal zipper?
627388 tn?1222198212 I am so saddened to hear this about Mayo. I have just been accepted as a patient there - and am on a waiting list to be seen. Hopefully in the next couple of months. I am so fed up with the doctors that I have been seeing in my community. I thought why not go somewhere like Mayo. I was so happy when I was told that they would take my case.
Avatar m tn Does herpes whitlow cause pain under the fingernail and forearm? I've heard of the tingling and burning, I'm not feeling either but I'm feeling numbness under the fingernail and forearm? I did use the bathroom and with the same hand I pulled up my zipper and then in seconds used the underneath of my fingernail very firmly to secure it without washing my hands, very paranoid I spread the virus to my zipper then to the underneath of my fingernail.
Avatar n tn I scratched it using my fingernails and i noticed the pimple rash had a blood (red but the blood did not went outside the body) and i checked the fingernail that i used there is no visible blood also... Questions: 1. If the technician have a dried blood in my car and my fingernail hit or touches the blood and used the same fingernail to scratch my pimple rash...Do you think this is hcv transmission? Higk Risk, Low Risk Or No Risk? Begging for your merciful answer..My anxiety is killing me.
Avatar m tn Could this be a type of fingernail material growing from the scalp? The physical consistency of this 'hair' strongly resembles that of a fingernail. Extensive searching the net has found nothing. Surely my daughter is not the only case like this. I read about keratin, but it seems the keratin in hair and nails is the same.
Avatar m tn After two minutes i immediately check his hands and he show me his hand his fingernail is long..We are five in the kitchen that time..If my friend is tried to prick me with a syringe all the people will notice the syringe that time.. What will be your advise in my situation? do i need a test for this matter?
Avatar f tn rainbow-color oil slick in urine (and urine is pale neon green); splinter hemorrhages and other fingernail abnormalities; headaches that OTC pain relievers don't touch and several scrips for migraines didn't help. For 7 months after a bout with what seemed like the flu, mom had severe joint pain and would wake in the morning (or after a brief nap) unable to grip the blankets to throw them off for 5 minutes or so.
Avatar n tn s came back 3 weeks later. i also noticed lately that my fingernail beds are really pale but at the end behing the white part it is a dark pink. does anybody else notice this? i know that nails can give clues to health problems and i read that it can be related to heart problems. the cause of the pvc's was never known because i don't have insurance and couldn't afford to continue testing for it. all i had was bloodwork and ekg.
Avatar f tn I am working with Mayo Clinic in Jax now, and I have to say, I hope the NS is better than what I have dealt with so far. I saw a neurologist June 21 that I LOVE LOVE LOVE. I wish his specialty was NS and Chiari. He told me to report to him any new symptoms between my appointment with him and my consult with NS on July 19th.
Avatar f tn Fingering is not a risk of HIV transmission cut with a fingernail or not.
Avatar f tn I remembered that I had not short fingernail when I was fingering him and he asked me to stop several times because my fingernail hurt his anus. I started to panic: if my fingernail was sharp, then maybe I made his anus bleed a bit and then the blood could enter my body through the finger cut.
Avatar m tn Hey there, Am I at risk of any serious disease if I get a very mild scratch from some other man's fingernail? This happened to me a few days back while travelling in a train. Since then, I have been thinking about it and it has been causing me a lot of anxiety. Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thanks and regards.
