is this normal and if not what to do??

Edited:

also last time I did a blood check because the doctor didnt really know what could be wrong with me. test came out fine, nothing weird. does this mean I'm probably clear from things like leukemia and diabetes, not that I'm afraid of having them, but I wonder if those things get checked as well in regular blood testing

Yes, they do. Your white blood cell count is checked. (If you had leukemia, your white blood cell count would be elevated.) It's also very easy for them to check your blood sugar for signs of diabetes or insulin resistance.

So yes - you are clear from leukemia and diabetes. There are very obvious abnormalities in the blood that would indicate those two conditions, and they'd certainly notice if things weren't normal.

Not entirely clear from leukemia though - my understanding is that it can be difficult to detect via a blood test in some cases.

They'd probably ask BrQ to come back for more tests if he had an abnormal white blood cell count, though. But you're right. An elevated white blood cell count can be indicative of a lot of things, not just leukemia, so I can see why it would be hard to diagnose a person from a simple blood test.

If his white blood cell count is normal, you can say pretty much definitively that he doesn't have leukemia...or any number of infections that could cause an elevated white blood cell count, too.

[Contag]

I'm sure there's been leukemia which isn't indicated by an elevated wbc count in blood tests.

Do you think that could be possible in patients with both leukemia and some other condition that would normally lower the white blood cell count? Like cancer hiding behind a viral infection, for example?

I don't know. Just speculating.

[Adelle Zhu]

white blood cell count is often associated with anti depressants in some patients. I have no fucking clue how but people who have come into my pharmacy, are prescribed drugs to counter act this.

[Colliseemoe]

I need help identifying a third nipple. How do you tell the difference from a regular mole/birthmark?

That's interesting...do you know what drug class of antidepressants specifically? Or just any antidepressants?

I forgot the class, but I know for a fact that it is a rare case that usually effects people with previous blood and heart problems

Last week, I was walking to the bathroom when the middle of my foot's sole started hurting. like REALLY fucking PIERCING GLASS kind of hurt. I looked at it, and nothing was wrong, and it stopped hurting. Then the following week, there is this FUCKING BUMP on the left side of my foot. (it was the right side). I think it is in the same position as the cuboid. What do?

You probably have tintius. It is a constant ringing, never goes unless your ear drums repair. In the case it is permanent you just have to get use to it. After a while you won't even notice it unless there is no sound around you. (Sounds similar to TV static)

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. I did visit the doc, and he said it is probably just a bruise or something. It isn't discolored though. He also mentioned to wait a week and see.

Does anybody else's kneecap hurt really much when they sit down for a while and then stand up?

I can barely walk for at least 2 minutes.

[Region]

This isn't really bad but it's been bothering me. When wrestling season started last year, i jammed my thumb about 6 times. Now it's just fucked up. it's not as flexible as the other thumb and it gets jammed and hurt very fast if tempered with. I've been too lazy to go to the doctor about it because everytime i want to go to the doctor about it it gets better but i jam it again. Any ideas? it always hurts if i do the slightest bump. and it gets jammed alot easier than my other thumb

Edit: godline, no
