Avatar m tn I have suffered from most every flavor of sleep issue: trouble getting to sleep, trouble staying asleep, and waking too early. Currently, my insomnia du jour is waking in the middle of the night. I've been taking melatonin, which I believe helps somewhat, but not completely. Last week I purchased a light box and, for the past 6 days, have used it first thing in the morning. I was amazed at how instantly it improved my mood and daytime wakefulness!
Avatar f tn Does anyone know if a handheld LED/Ultrasound device used for skin anti-aging purposes would affect the thyroid if used over the neck, if there is a diagnosis of hypo OR hyperthyroidism? Thank you.
Avatar n tn I suggest the use of products that are hypoallergenic and also with organic ingredients such as vitamin C and E. Anti aging products may also be beneficial especially for women with fine lines and wrinkles. A healthy diet,decrease intake of fatty food, cessation of smoking,adequate sleep and daily exercise will ensure not just great skin but also a healthy body in general.
Avatar m tn Hi, I do understand that the testosterone levels are low in your case and there are several guidelines developed by several groups who recommend the testosterone therapy in the ageing male. However, It has not been definitively established that the decline in testosterone seen in most aging men results in an androgen deficient state with health-related outcomes that can be improved by testosterone therapy. Hence, I’ll not recommend the same.
Avatar f tn Has anyone tried light therapy for depression? And is the sun the same as using a light? Anyone try this type of therapy? Looking for experiences.
Avatar f tn What vitamins can I take to prevent aging? Exclusively the face and neck areas. If there is not a vitamin, can herbs help and what kind? Any Natural Preventions?
Avatar f tn Could be transient pain related to prior interferon treatment, could be rheumatoid arthritis caused by IFN, could be coincidental natural aging, could be lots of things. Patient is stuck figuring it out on their own, unfortunately. A starting point might be visiting an orthopedist and having the joints x-rayed to see if there is anything really going on there.
Avatar n tn http://www.wrinklereview.com/prevention.html Do not smoke because smoking exposes your skin to all those damaging free radicals. Stay out of the sun as much as possible, especially during the "danger hours" when UV light is at its peak (10 am to 4 pm). Always wear sunscreen on your face when going outside in the sunlight. Moisturize daily and make sure you're drinking enough water ( 8 glasses) every day.Develop a regimen now to prevent wrinkles.
Avatar m tn after 1 month my light sensitivity is still very bad. eye color has changed from dark brown to blue around the edges of the iris. I see the change, my friends see the change in color , but my surgeon says they are the same.
Avatar m tn DDD is a completely normal part of the aging process and is rarely symptomatic. Physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and spinal injections often provide adequate relief. The source of nerve compression will be evident by an X-ray/CT scans. Incase of doubt you can go for a diagnostic nerve block to identify the source. Spinal fusion or disc implantation surgeries are the common surgeries for chronic DDD. Spinal fusion procedure and internal fixation devices are utilized.
Avatar f tn Your first option is to see your primary care physician for a medical evaluation and specific radiology tests as indicated. Anti-inflammatory meds and physical therapy may be helpful in reducing your pain and providing instructions on how to maintain a healthy back and coping with osteoarthritis. Post again with an update and any additional questions/concerns you may have.
Avatar f tn Go to ulta and talk to their estheticians for a professional recommendation. While pregnant do stay away from retinols which are anti aging. They can cause birth defects. But look for something that has hyaluronic acid in it which is a natural chemical our body makes which helps retains moisture by 1000x its weight. So it is super hydrating which will help reduce and prevent wrinkles.
Avatar n tn This sounds like spinal or pelic/hip arthritis. There are other anti-inflammatories that may help so discuss with your vet again about what other options are available to you. Radiographs are quite helpful in letting us determine if there is arthritis (which is painful) or if there is spinal or disk disease that while not always painful, can cause these signs as they result in a weakening of the nerves controlling the back legs.
Avatar f tn Before using any serum, I'd check with your doctor to see what they recommend. Has your doctor given you any advice on what you can do to treat the alopecia and fast aging?
Avatar m tn How does therapy help anxiety? Is that really any different than talking to a friend or family member?
Avatar n tn Yes, it's not the retina's fault, it's the vitreous pulling on it that tears the retina away. The vitreous humour, by the way, contains the second highest concentration of vitamin C in the body. Vitamin C is an anti-oxidant as well as being necessary for the formation of collagen. I don't know whether upping your vitamin C intake would help. Judily.
Avatar n tn Myxoid degeneration is the result of aging and wear of your menisci in the ligament of your knee joint and it can be further aggravated by any injury. Mild degenerative changes can be treated conservatively and you would require surgery if conservative therapy fails. Follow up with an orthopedician. Take care!
1028452 tn?1537448484 The most consistent, enthusiastic exercisers are those who do activities they like, whether it’s dancing, hiking or aqua aerobics. Exercise has a strong, anti-aging effect on cells’ DNA. It influences telomeres, “caps” at the ends of DNA strands, kind of like the tips on shoelaces, which protect chromosomes from destruction. Telomeres shorten progressively over time, leading to cellular damage due to the inability of the cell to duplicate itself correctly.
Avatar m tn I still have horrible health anxiety which ironically makes me constantly sick. I have gotten therapy and am taking Zoloft but i dont know to what extent it is helping. I have been doing better with my health anxiety (still constantly obsess and worry about STDs). Now i worry what my anxiety has done to my life, health, and esp looks... Im only 19 and already looking for eye cream for my saggy purple eyes and wrinkles and worry i look way too old for my age (any suggestions lol??
534800 tn?1217167359 I have literally tried just about every product on the market, both OTC and prescribed, and they all work at first (a few days) then - nothing. Anti-anxiety meds help a bit with the racing heart and white noise in my head every night because I can't fall asleep, but I've become rattled with the idea that over time, I'll actually be decreasing my life span from not getting enough sleep, aging faster than I want to and stressing my heart (all downsides to poor sleep for years).
Avatar n tn 2007, a dark spot of ver light intensity is visible in the top left cormer of my vission and it moves with my vision also. I checked it up with the Dr. then and he found nothing in the eye but a small black do in the liquid. He said that it has got condensed and can't be cured. The same issue has been recently occcured in my other eye (with a very very light intensity). These spots are only visible in daylight - or white light of the Screen.
Avatar f tn Botox injections have been indicated but if you are not comfortable with this, there are other possible options such as cold/heat therapy, physical therapy, and alternative therapy (i.e. acupuncture). Manual therapy or chiropractic manipulation is usually avoided. Do keep us posted with your lymph node examination. Take care and regards.
