Answering Questions from Readers
Tuesday, July 03, 2007
Paul Auerbach, M.D.
A fair number of comments from readers of this blog come in the form of clinical questions, in which someone asks for a response to a personal medical question. While I would like to be able to answer most of these, it is difficult to do that without more complete information, and in the absence of being able to examine the patient(s).
When a question or comment raises an issue or point of interest that is important for everyone, then I will try to address the topic in a separate post, rather than as an isolated answer to a question. In this way, more people can benefit.
Thanks for being a reader, and for your understanding.

Does anybody else suffer from Bronchiectasis - I was diagnosed with asthma 7 yrs ago and for 5 of them was just given more and more inhalers which still didn't work but then finally 2 yrs ago I was sent for more tests and told that it was widespread Bronchiectasis. I don'take inhalers any more - but still have to moniter myself and do breathing excercises etc; etc; I don't know anyone else with this and so I am unable to talk through with fellow persons how they manage, cope and what sorts of things they still experience and deal with.

A friend of mine a recent blood test showing a high level of B-12 (244) and
a low level of folic acid (15). Symptoms
are sensations in face, chest and arm. Doctors believe it's not heart related.
What other cause could account for these
levels and symptoms.
