This is my husbands right ankle. Does this seem consistent with EM? It has not grown in size and is not painful or itchy. We did not see a tick. Unsure if we should start him on prophylactic antibiotics. Thanks for you help!
We are renting out our Marriott timeshare and listed it on redweek. Someone purchased it and I switched the reservation to the guests name. Redweek is asking me for an updated reservation email confirmation with a guest of owner form. No idea what this is. Can anyone help?! I forwarded a confirmation with the new guests information and I guess it was not sufficient.
I was recently diagnosed with iron deficiency non anemia and through research, saw a strong correlation that children of parents with anemia or iron deficiency should also be tested. My son randomly complains of dizziness and headaches without a known cause.
I just had his labs drawn (see below). Can someone help me interpret. Do you think the ferritin is inflammation? Should I ask for a CRP and ESR? Maybe a CMP to check liver function? His hgb is normal but near the lower level. Thank you in advance!
Hello! Hoping someone can help me understand my labs a little more clearly. One year ago, my ferritin was at 60. Serum iron was 21 and iron sats were at 6%, hgb 12.9. I was extremely anxious during this period do time and looking back think it may be related to my labs. Fast forward one year, my ferritin dropped to 32, but my iron sat is 19% and serum iron is 63. Hgb at 13.3. In so confused- have my numbers gotten worse even after supplementing?! My dr never says anything more than to continue OTC iron daily. Please help!

We're planning a trip to San Francisco with our family—my husband and our three kids (ages 10, 8, and 4)—and would love some recommendations!
We're looking for a nice, updated hotel in a great location that's within walking distance of the main tourist attractions. A hotel with a great pool would be a bonus, although it looks like the weather will only be around 65°, so we're not sure how much swimming we'll actually do.
We're also looking for fun, family-friendly activities. Right now we're thinking about renting bikes and riding across the Golden Gate Bridge, which sounds like such a fun adventure for the kids!
If you have any favorite hotels, restaurants, or must-do activities for families, I'd love to hear your recommendations. Thanks so much!
I posted a few weeks ago regarding my daughter’s newly formed club team that, at the time, only had five players. I followed up with the coach to figure out a plan about whether the team was going to happen and unfortunately, it disbanded. The coach offered my daughter a spot on his U12 team, which is one year above where she should play. This is her first club experience and she had only ever played AYSO. Would love your thoughts about sitting this season out vs having her play up for the year. The U12 team has 12 players. Her asked 2 girls to join the team (my daughter and another girl from the U11 team), so that would make 14 girls total (9 play on the field).
Hi all, happy Sunday! Looking for some advice.
Had labs drawn one year ago and was told everything was fine other than low iron, and was told to supplement with iron. Looking back and reviewing the labs, I noticed a significant decrease in my serum iron, iron storage and ferritin levels, that were not addressed. This is concerning to me. At the time, I was not on my menstrual cycle and did not have any active identifiable bleeding. What could have possibly been the cause ?! I am re drawing my labs this week for comparison, and hoping they have corrected themselves, but feeling concerned. Appreciate any feedback.
My 10 year old daughter joined club 3 months ago. This was a new team being formed and we were told the coach would be recruiting more girls. It’s been three months and we do not have a single additional player and have only played one inter squad game.
For those who play club, is this normal?! We have already paid 3k in dues and I’m starting to think we got the short end of the stick but also am not sure what to expect.
