Im from nyc Too! Washington heights where are you from?
Hello! Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm actually just a part-time Long Islander -- my boyfriend lives in Stony Brook, but I spend most of my time in Brooklyn! Fellow New Yorkers unite.
I'm definitely grateful to have a doctor who is willing to recognize when he's out of his depth, and I think that he was also shocked that I wasn't more upset when he suggested it may be MS.
My Quest/Stony Brook western blot back in April show postive for band 41, and 18, both IgM and IgG, and plus non-specific bands were also detected. I really wanted to see what these non-specific bands were--it may give clue to what else I am infected with.
The lab refused to give me the list of nonspecific bands detected, saying I have to go through my doctor who ordered it. My neurologist refused to ask lab for it saying they are irrelavant. ID specialist concurred. I disagreed.
I just moved in Stony Point, NY. I am looking for a dental clinic for my teeth's maintenance. Any suggestions?
We're not medical doctors, so we can't offer a diagnosis, but given that you have some strange symptoms after finding ticks in your bed, I also recommend you go see a LLMD. A good ILADS-trained LLMD is familiar with other tick borne diseases and should be able to give you a good work up.
I don't know where you're located, but ILADS is a great source of suggested doctors.
Venereal warts are painless, often white or gray, firm, sharply delineated, and can be almost flat to raised, even look cauliflower-like. They are firm - sometimes stony in consistency. They are very contagious, and, as such, can spread. You give very little info. Have a doctor look at it. In that location they are relatively easy to eradicate.
At this point, my doctor suspects that I might have a solar allergy and he and prescribed me Plaquenil (200mg BID). I've been taking it for 5 days now and so far there have been no results. I agree that a solar allergy seems possible, but I have a few questions about this:
1) How long should I take this medicine before I might expect to see some results?
2) If I don't respond to this Plaquenil, does that mean this is not a solar allergy?
My NS was a pediatric surgeon, and Chiari was actually one of his specialties...He works at Stony Brook and is relatively well known. At my last appointment, I brought up to him that I was concerned about my lack of MRIs, as I had read on the web that many do it on a yearly basis. He assured me that since I had stopped growing, have noticed no change in symptoms, that syrinx development is unlikely as well as an increase in herniation unless otherwise aggravated by a car accident.
British Museum: Prototype for Noah's Ark was round
LONDON — It was a vast boat that saved two of each animal and a handful of humans from a catastrophic flood.
But forget all those images of a long vessel with a pointy bow — the original Noah's Ark, new research suggests, was round.
A recently deciphered 4,000-year-old tablet from ancient Mesopotamia — modern-day Iraq — reveals striking new details about the roots of the Old Testament tale of Noah.
