1916845 tn?1322424822 I was wondering if there is a connection between G6PD Deficiency and Sarcoidosis. When I was 21 I had a UTI and was prescribed Macrodantin and it was discovered 1 week later that I had G6PD Deficiency. I was hospitalized in very serious condition. I was anemic and it was getting worse, my bilirubin was way high, I was jaundiced, I had weight loss, fever, and I eventually had a couple of seizures.
Avatar m tn did your doctor try to explore other diagnoses? Did he take tests for STIs (gonorrhea, chlamydia)? I donĀ“t think candida can be responsible for "blue balls" (whatever that is).
Avatar n tn My dentist gave me acetaminophen/cod and I took one last night when I felt tooth pain and I felt fine after taking it but I just remember that I have Mild G6PD Deficiency, the office is close now so nobody is picking up when I called.
Avatar f tn He was advised to have SGOT and SGPT and the lab test result is SGPT 68.00 and SGOT 92.9. He is a G6PD baby and I was worried if he has hemolitic anemia already. Can someone explain the implication of high SGOT and SGPT to a G6PD baby? Thanks for ur answer..
Avatar n tn http://kidshealth.org/parent/general/aches/g6pd.html# Sounds like it can act as a trigger for the anemia the defficency causes. Also I agree with others who have answered, go see your doctor and get them to explain it.
Avatar m tn He gave me a SWAB test and the results said (few Candida + Pus cells) and that i should take anti-mycotic medication. I told him that I have G6PD deficiency in which I cant eat beans or take some medications... So until now I have no options for treatment because of the G6PD, and I have had this penis issue since January so I am worried it will get serious eventually. So till this day I dont have severe symptoms... My penis opening looks slimy at times from the inside, but it does not smell.
Avatar f tn I have read some where that a Mommy who has g6pd herself,got pregnant and lost her child during her pregnancy.. Thanks. Ps: the first delivery was from another partner from my previous relationship.
Avatar n tn 3) No medical condition signficantly affects the reliability of HIV testing, with the possible exception of near-terminal illnesses like advanced cancer. Certainly thalassemia and G6PD deficiency will have no effect (as your own doctor probably told you). 4) It sounds like your doctor has judged your risk higher than I did. But I stand by my assessment and I'm not sure I would have suggested HIV testing at all, except to address your obvious anxiety about it.
Avatar f tn Hi, I have a 7 months old daughter who was perfectly fine no trouble at all, had her after treatment and IVF.

Avatar n tn I take a lot of medicines & vitamins regularly. Recently I developed a blood clot, and I did read on this site that Aspirin helps with time. The only disease I have is G6PD I have no allergies or anything Is it okay to try it Aspirin ?!
Avatar f tn Has your husband Afro-Mediterranean or Asiatic origins?? I just red now, maybe it won't help anymore..check G6PD deficiency!
551604 tn?1333983135 Before using Bactrim, tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease, a folic acid deficiency, asthma or severe allergies, AIDS, a glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD deficiency), or if you are malnourished. Take this medication for the full prescribed length of time. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cleared. Bactrim will not treat a viral infection such as the common cold or flu.

Avatar n tn 25 which rules out a parathyroid tumor. Head to toe bone scans and bone xrays are normal as are abdominal and chest Ct scans and chest xrays and abdominal ultrasounds.

Avatar n tn Doxycycline 100 mgm by mouth twice/day for 6 weeks and then once/day for 3-6 months is a common treatment of blepharitis and meibomian gland disease. It is not so much antibacterial as antiinflammatory and gets into the oild gland. That's the reason its also used for acne. There is a new product that is specific for blepharitis but I don't have the details or brand name. None of these cause floaters.
Avatar m tn instead, i juz told her my prob and she diagnosed me wif oesophagus reflux(side effect of doxycycline) meanin the acid in my stomach traveled up to my esophagus causing irritation and prescibe me wif anacid. i read somewhere that if i were to take doxycycline, i must not take anacid because it will lessen the effectiveness of doxycycline. so, now i'm at a lost again..
Avatar n tn I was just diagnosed with lyme disease and will be taking Doxycycline for 30 days. Can anyone tell me if I must avoid dairy entirely or just avoid it a couple of hours before and after taking this antibiotics? Thanks.
1415174 tn?1453243103 Has anyone had low dose doxycycline (50mg) used for rosacea or used any antibiotic and got severe vertigo 40 minutes after taking it? I had dizzyness then vertigo and my right ear went deaf then I almost fell but my husband caught me and I got nauseated, tired and cold. It only lasted for about 20-30 seconds. I have been sore from almost falling and jerking myself and tired all day.
Avatar m tn either ceftriaxone (Rocephin) or doxycycline would abort incubating syphilis, and the two together guarantees syphilis would be eradicated. I suggest you lay off the internet. You're obviously very anxious about all this, and in that state of mind you will only find information to inflame and prolong your fears. All is well; nothing bad is going to come from this.
