wait pls i wantu clarify who exactly you're referring to grin i hope its not what im thinking. Pls is it femi or Op?


(jots a thing or two)
The OP of course. Just a phone conversation and he opened a thread. If Oritsefemi now agrees to collaborate, that would definitely be front page news on all Newspapers. Onto wetin na? Someone suggested a diary...that would do him good.

The guy is getting annoying abeg. He was cool before but now...geez! #i must trend by force#

Sure. Have they considered MRSA? I am sure fluid has been cultured and she is getting appropriate abx.

Maybe think about bathing with anti-staph soaps/cleansers like bactroba.n or chlorhexidin.e. Is she overweight and I assume no diabetes?

At last resort, she could get screened for IG deficiency.
Yes fluid has been cultured. Definitely not overweight.

Thanks. You have been really helpful. Your recommendations shall be considered. God bless.

Have a great week.
HealthRe: Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available by Caracta(f): 9:28pm On Sep 27, 2015
Xiadnat:
Then If this individual has had a thorough workup that includes screen for common autoimmune conditions, then it is likely s/he has baseline elevated ESR.

Yes, abscess, boils and skin infections alike can elevate it. I think the question now becomes, how come s/he is having repeated boils?

Chasing a lab number w/o clinical symptomology is rather a waste of time and resource. How old is this person? A she or he? Any other medical history? ESR of 30s isn't too bad. Now, if it is 100s, I'll definitely be more concerned.

I would suggest to treat underlining cause of boils and worry less of the lab number. When/if boil is treated successfully, then, can keep an eye of ESR with semi to annual check to make sure it is not going further up.

Regards
Thank you so so so much.

Female. Mid-twenties. Well, if 31 is not too high, then I guess no cause for alarm. The underlining cause of boils led to the full blood scan. Like I said, the boils keep coming back. And I guess, to treat it completely, the cause needs to be known.

So for now, ESR is high. Boils re-occur. Patient confined to antibiotics. This has been the case for almost 6 years now.
HealthRe: Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available by Caracta(f): 8:21pm On Sep 27, 2015
Xiadnat:
ESR is really non specific measure of inflammatory state, which covers from infection to autoimmune condition to anemia to yes, tumors.

I would recommend that she goes for a thorough screen exam with history and physical from a healthcare professional.

Is she exhibiting any other symptoms? Why antibiotics?
The non-specific measure is what has been dragging this issue. The antibiotics were as a result of re-occurring boils. The antibiotics treat the boils, the ESR drops. After a while, the boils come back, the ESR shoots up.

The doctor said even a thorough screen exam wouldn't pinpoint the cause. Speculations have been made and some ruled out.

Other parameters from the blood scan are normal and within limit...just the high ESR.
HealthRe: Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available by Caracta(f):
Xiadnat:
High ESR generally implies some inflammatory response or reaction occurring generally autoimmune type reaction; what medication was this person placed on?
***...which I don't think did much other than reduce from 31 to 28. Could it be cancer or a skin problem?
HealthRe: Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available by Caracta(f): 3:19pm On Sep 27, 2015
Xiadnat:
Do get checked out for vein thrombosis and injection site infection. Best case scenario, it is just a reaction to the injection. In that case, RICE: rest, ice, compress and elevate area.
Hi. Quick question.

How do you explain high ESR of 31...though it recently dropped to 28 after the patient was placed on medications? Please note that ESR has been high consistently for a long period of time.
FamilyRe: Some1 Should Please Help!!! by Caracta(f): 11:06pm On Sep 25, 2015
Why were they calling you?

Did they at least tell you that since they told you Boko Haram kidnapped them?

Kidnapped but they had their cell phones with them. They could call and answer calls. Maybe they could do some selfies too while trying to contact a stranger instead of a relative, friend or appropriate authorities.

You should have contacted the appropriate authorities on their behalf. There are hotlines for Boko Haram activities. Try another joke. This sucks.
