  1. I have been sick for quite some time with stomach problems and lung problems. I recently had a D Dimer done which resaults were 2.0 as well on a ct scan they found There is atelectasis in the lingula anterolaterally and inferiorly. Atelectasis versus scarring is seen in the midaspect of the lung bases. There is a tiny, non calcified nodule in the left major fissure measuring 0.4 cm in diameter. That was directly from the resaults. Quite a few family members including aunts uncles and mother had blood clots in their lungs. As well my grandfather passed of lung cancer when I was about 12 years old. Is there any advice you can give me? I have tried getting answers from my primary who just blows me off stating I have mood problems (which they said I had right after the lose of my 25 day old son so yes I would be majorly depressed.) I have tried getting answers for a while now with no real answers just that it is in my head because “I have Depression due to the lose of my son.” This same doctor tried telling me that all my lower left abdominal pain was from a cyst on my overy which I was diagnosed with Diverticulitis by a different Dr who ordered a colonoskopy(spelling?) My dr wanted me to cancel that procedure which I am not going to because I feel that procedure is nessasary to find the full cause of my stomach pain but my dr perscribed 2 antibiotics because my wbc was elevated. (he said that was caused because of diverticulitis yet according to him I dont have that) I know it dont make since. Also when I eat certion foods my stomach pain gets worse.
  2. I am a survivor of necrotizing fasciitis. What are my chances of being infected again?
  3. Lately I have noticed that my either my skin on my face or my breath has had a smell that resembles peanut butter. I have noticed the smell mostly when I am in the shower in the morning. This afternoon my husband noticed it also and asked if I had been eating peanut butter, which I had not. What could this be from?
  4. What should I do if I think my daughter has Ehlers Danlos Syndrome?
  5. My girlfriend recently suffered from Sun Poisoning. Her face swelled up pretty bad and she developed a scab on her cheek. Her swelling and scabbing have began to subside but now she is complaining of a severe pain under her armpit. Is this related?

I have a black spot on my leg and they have done an ultra sound and said its okay but I know thats not right.

There are numerous causes for a black spot on your leg such as bruising, dermatologic causes, vascular causes, or deep vein thrombosis. Deep vein thromboses are the most dangerous as clots in your leg can break off and cause pulmonary embolisms – a deadly condition. Vascular causes such as varicose veins may be painful but not life threatening. Dermatologic causes such as acanthosis nigricans present in diabetic patients as a dark velvety patch of skin that is asymptomatic and may resolve if the diabetes is treated.

The ultrasound you received rules out the most deadly cause of a dark spot on your leg – deep vein thrombosis. If you are still concerned, you should seek medical attention from your primary care physician.
