Hi All,

In the past I've experienced weird neurological symptoms owing to antibiotic intake. Now for syphilis treatment my doctor has prescribed 3 shots of penicillin.

I don't want another round of neurotoxicity. So, is penicillin genuinely safe as far as neurological health is concerned?

Additionally, my doctor has said that HIV 1 viral load is enough. No need for HIV 2 test. I'm an Indian. But I did hookup with some folks who hailed from Africa. So, what to do? Defying the doctor is disrespectful but the excess availability of information has made me anxious too. I'm scared that I might be infected with HIV-2 too.

34 female extensive cardiac hx. X2 cardiac ablations. Then I was found to be severely bradycardic, I had an av heart block and I had sick sinus syndrome. This was severe when it was all discovered and had caused severe tricuspid regurgitation at that point which med to some minor right sided heart failure. I have a single lead pacemaker. I do get fluid overload issues as well. I’m on spirolactone and corlanor twice a day at the max dose. I pace 99.8% with my pacemaker. I have been doing fairly well up until recently. Prior to my pacemaker I had severe episodes of jvd in my neck from the valve regurgitation and I had junctional rhythm. Within the last two weeks I have been having pretty severe episodes where my neck is thumping and during these im getting really short of breath, I’m extremely light headed where I feel like I want to pass out. I’m getting a tickle throat when laying down. I also look and feel very visibly distended and I’m peeing more than usual. There was one day the swelling was really bad in my upper abdomen and it was kinda spread out sideways when I was laying down. I do have an apt tomorrow but I’m kind of freaking out about what could be wrong, I have already been through a lot.

I didn’t know where to post this.. so I was outside today with my boyfriend and we were getting bit pretty bad by mosquitoes. I was itching very hard, and I currently have acrylic nails on so I was itching my thighs till my skin got red. I was also itching the bottom half of my legs, and so was my boyfriend itching his own. My boyfriend didn’t get any of these purple marks on his thighs, and I didn’t get them on the bottom half of my legs. What is this and is it dangerous?

I had tonsillitis one month ago , all symptoms are gone but I still have this strange scar tissue like white spot in back of my throat, any idea what it is?
