Even more questions!

CFS and CEBV aren't the same thing in that you can still have CFS without having moderately high EBV titers. I'm not sure if you can have CFS without having any EBV results, but I know you can have CFS without having certain VCA or EA EBV results being positive. CFS is basically a name given to a general set of symptoms that...well...doctors haven't quite fig...
What is a normal TSH fluctuation over the course of the day?
Nov 17, 2008 01:20PM in the Thyroid Disorders Community
I recently had my TSH level measured as 3.75 around 9am in the morning; this was while being on an anti-histamine, NSAID, and a few other drugs--I mention this because I know some of these drugs can lower TSH levels. My endo, whom I've only ever seen once, said that this is "normal" for TSH (range: 0.4 - 4.5). Around 8:30am - 9am in the past, it's been as hig...

Hah, I've considered being a neurologist (or a neurosurgeon), too! Of course, that'd require me taking the MCATs and applying to medical school.....there's no way I'd be able to retain enough information to actually pass the MCATs with the condition I'm in! What's your undergraduate major?

Unusual Test Results

Have you experienced any intermittent fevers, lymphadenopathy, or hepatosplenomegaly? Do other blood tests show anemia, neutropenia, lymphocytopenia, or thrombocytopenia? I'm concerned that your case might constitute a case of Severe Chronic Active Epstein-Barr Virus (SCAEBV). This typically afflicts children and young adults, but you mentioned you'd been ...
Do I need a second opinion?
Nov 11, 2008 05:33PM in the Neurology Community
It's always good to get a second opinion, especially when it comes to health issues involving the brain (and such an important gland, to boot!). That said, your doctor is probably right with taking the wait-and-see approach. They probably weighed the benefits and harms of surgically removing it, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a doctor who will immediate...
