What types of intestinal diseases are associated with nodular mucosa in the ileum?

I just got my results back from a colonoscopy and that is what the gastroenterologist found. I've been suffering from unexplained chronic diarrhea (sorry if it's too much info) and edema for 4 years. Advice from anybody from the medical profession would be much appreciated.
Nodular mucosa of the ileum could indicate Crohn's disease. Classically this disease presents with a 'cobblestone' appearance of the mucosa, especially in the ileum. Do a quick search on Wiki and it will tell you all you may ever want to know about Crohn's disease. Good luck!  (+ info)

Will dermatologists prescribe accutane to a patient without severe nodular acne?

---

I've had acne for about 6 years now and I'm fed up with it. I did go see a dermatologist about a year ago, and he refused to give me accutane. My parents as well refused to let me use the drug because my family has a history of suicide. I have gone through every over-the-counter drug, and also about 3-4 different prescribed pills to help my problem. Proactive has worked somewhat, but only on my face, while I have it on my neck and back.
Since I am 18 now, i want to see a dermatologist on my own so I won't need parental permission to use the drug, however I do not have my own insurance. Any advice toward my problem will be a big help.
Accutane, a chemical cousin of vitamin A, is prescribed for the treatment of severe, disfiguring cystic acne that has not cleared up in response to milder medications such as antibiotics. It works on the oil glands within the skin, shrinking them and diminishing their output. You take Accutane by mouth every day for several months, then stop. The antiacne effect can last even after you have finished your course of medication.  (+ info)

Does having a thyroid goiter affect your weight?

---

I have always had low energy, even as a child. At one point I was anemic. My maternal grandmother had her thyroid removed. I found out about 3 years ago that I have a multi-nodule goiter. I'm wondering if this would affect why I can't keep weight off? I tried dieting and exercise for months and lost minimal amount of weight. I also never have any energy, even with a full night's rest. Is this all related? Thanks!
Having a goiter can cause a person to gain weight and/or have a hard time taking it off. Was your TSH, free T4 and free T3 checked - what were the levels? Depending on the blood test levels, it may indicate that you are hypothyroid, and you might need to take a levothyroxine pill to bring you back to the normal range.  (+ info)

Can a goiter shrink without surgery?

---

Can a goiter be reduced in size without surgery? Can you recommend doctors in New York City that specialize in goiters and natural remedies. Any success stories with before/after goiter pictures would be appreciated.
goiters can be reduced in size with treatment. thyroid hormone (levothyroxine) will sometimes allow the enlarged thyroid tissue to return to normal size, because demand is not being made of the tissue to produce endogenous hormone. Look for an endocrinologist or call the local medical society or ask your doctor to recommend someone. many endos require a referral anyway so as not to waste their and your time.  (+ info)
