Brief Answer:
Likely A Gross infectious etiology

Detailed Answer:
Hi Madam,

I understand your query and concern.

The symptoms in your case largely point towards gross infectious etiology of lower Genito - urinary tract.

The exact etiology has to be carefully documented through the following tests:
1.Urine for culture and sensitivity

2.Stool for Culture and sensitivity

3.MRI Fast spin Echo of head and neck to document the nature of the cystic swelling.

4.Ultrasound abdomen to rule out pelvic abscess.


These have to be carefully evaluated in the view of Lupus.

Post your further queries if any,
Thank you

One other thing, I had livedo reticularis but now the shape has changed to something that looks like fish and some look like faces which I have all over my body. Also upper eyelids are swollen and can see white cottony looking things in the pupil. When I do have a bowel movement it doesn't look like a normal one some are twisted and it has what looks like a tail and most of them have something that looks like is hanging out of their mouth. Sorry, I know it's gross but it seems to be getting worst and have been to many specialist and they have no idea. Started taking pictures and bringing them with me to the doctors. In the one picture I showed the doctor is when i coughed plegm up in the sink and then more kind of like cartoon character fish started appearing. It also happens if I cough something up on kleenex or paper towels it also has a crystal like appearance in some of them and some will be brown. Thank You, XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
HRCT chest need to rule out bronchiectasis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Going by your recent complaints, I advice HRCT/high resolution compact tomography of the chest to rule out bronchiectasis of the lungs,which can present with abnormal patterns of expectorated sputum.

The white areas in your eye need to be carefully evaluated for full fundus evaluation under expert opthalmological guidance.

The abnormal stool pattern reflects bowel functional abnormality.

It s highly suggestive to get yourself a colonoscopy to rule out organic lesion.

Thank you.
