Avatar n tn This person can come out to your home and set up home visits with nurses and nursing aids to help you thru daily activities that you need help with concerning your wife. They can also help set up very low cost meals to be delivered to your home. We had to have assistance when my grandma was very ill. The social workers have a list of people and services that they trust and work with regularly. It's easier to use their resources then trying to find them on your own.
1281603 tn?1283798699 The plan should be to get him to a diabetic wound care specialist for a consultation and recommended treatment. These wound care centers are very good at what they do. Oral antibiotics do not travel well to the extremities and there is no rationale for prophalactic antibiotics. If he needs antibiotic for infection they will probably be administered intravenously.

Avatar f tn Thank you for your advice. She went to ophthalmologist and retinal specialist. He said her retina is very thin and dystrophyc. The only recommendation for the moment it was the retina nutrition with vitamin tablets such blueberry and avoiding the weight and hot shower. The advancing of the myopia shall be seen only on the next visit after several months or one year. Does exist any other option for feeding the dystrophyc retina? thank you to a comment.
Avatar m tn m exceptionally healthy, I exercise regularly both by running and anaerobic activities with and without free weights. I take great care of my diet and regularly meditate and do recreational outdoor activities such as archery and recreation swordsmanship. Throughout my youth I've read a decent amount of material on sex and sexual activity and have felt and proven myself more than competent in pleasing a woman ( at least orally.
Avatar n tn I tend to get dizzy,light head,and anxiety,dry mouth and eye irritations often. I also feel that Diabetes also have simillar symptoms. I was not told that I have blood sugar problems by the Doctors. But seems like all the symptoms of diabetes.

Avatar f tn My symptoms include heavy limbs (especially legs), lack of concentration, mild/occasional nausea, and lightedness. I've noticed the symptoms seem more intense in the mid-morning and somewhat subside by mid-afternoon. Has anyone experienced a heightened awareness of depressive symptoms during certain times of the day? I'm seeing my doctor on Tuesday and plan to discuss these symptoms. Thank you in advance!

Avatar n tn Well, why are you stopping? Are you experiencing negative things because of it? Is it interfering with daily activities, like school or work or family time/relationships? Porn, in and of itself, isn't necessarily a bad thing. As long as you understand that none of it's real, that's it's all lights and fake and edited and sex doesn't work that way in real life, bodies don't work that way, relationships don't work that way, porn doesn't have to be bad.
Avatar f tn You need to see a specialist for diabetic help. My wife is diabetic and she has a hard time to. It would pay you to see neurologists.
Avatar n tn Now approximately two weeks ago I started taking womens vitamins and then this problem. I shower daily, change my clothes daily, have never sweated a day in my life. My 18 year old son is also saying the same thing is happening to him, but he doesn't live with us, so diet cannot be the cause for both of us. Any help. Could thyroid conditions be a cause. I have a twin brother with over active and a mother with under active, she had half of her thyroid removed?
Avatar m tn Do look into finding a true Chiari specialist to help you and inform them of the accident you have had since your last MRI.
Avatar f tn i am 27 and have had sever panic and anxiety on and off since i was 16,i would just like to talk to others that have this too and see if it will help me out.
Avatar f tn As far adaily activities, I try to do as much as I can without overdoing it. I have children to take care of and they have been very patient with my recent limitations. I’m also a musician, so the loss of fine motor control and pain in my left hand/arm is very concerning to me. I find that the more I do with this hand/arm the worse the pain and weakness gets. I was told to stretch my neck muscles, but wasn’t given any specific exercises to do.
Avatar n tn Your great nan should be able to do normal activities, or any activities that do not cause chest pain and undue fatigue. Activities that have some aerobic benefit would be helpful.
Avatar n tn Hello Candikane, Your doctor's advice is surprising to me, also. I'm guessing that s/he is not a diabetes specialist and that's the type of physician who should be guiding your diabetes care. Specialists might be called endocrinologist or diabetologist. None of us here is a physician, but we're long-time diabetics or care-givers for diabetic children. You didn't mention if you've been diagnosed with Type 1 or Type 2, and the treatment options vary for these types.
Avatar m tn All you need to increase about 5 units both times and try to reduce your weight and increase your physical activities. As your fasting and random sugar levels are immediate indicator of treatment so you can follow them routinely but ultimate goal would be to bring glycated Hb to 6.5-7.00. I hope I answered your question.
Avatar f tn Do consult your doctor and get a referral for a sleep specialist and a neurologist. Other possibilities are pancreatic insulinomas causing a surge of insulin production after meals, hypoglycemia and an urge to sleep. In women it can also be due to PCOD. Hope this helps. Take care!
Avatar n tn and we were sent to a wound specialist. They did a culture and got her on antibiotics. She has been going there for treatment every week for 3 months and it's not healed. She has terrible pain and can't sleep most nights. Even the sheets hitting her leg is too much to take. She was negative for diabetes and she had vascular tests done that were all normal. The doctor now wants her to have a biopsy done. Are they thinking skin cancer? Even from a little cut from a razor?
Avatar m tn Your symptoms could be associated with drugs, alcohol, smoking, lack of sleep, poor sleep patterns, stress and fatigue. They can be seen in peripheral neuropathies of diabetes, hyper and hypothyroidism, lupus, and Lyme’s. Multiple sclerosis, Parkinsonism, TIAs or transient ischemic attacks or mini strokes, hypoglycemia, low vitamin B12 or low vitamin D, disorders of calcium metabolism, hyperparathyroidism etc. and certain epilepsies too could be the cause.
Avatar n tn I'm 19, 5"3, and weigh maybe 89 Ibs. I'll be brief. I have a lot of responsibilities and haven't been able to maintain a diet stable enough to gain weight (I can't gain weight off of unhealthy junk food for example. And I can't eat 3 large meals a day or it will disrupt my digestive system- I have to multiple medium sized meals each day for my digestive to function properly). Any advice on weight gain?
Avatar m tn t interfering with daily activities and responsibilities.
1569985 tn?1328247482 I have been told after taking antiobiotics for many years before dental work, that the current theory is they are not needed, even though I have a mild mitral regurge. I also am on coumadin and antibiotics apparently interacts with that drug. I need my teeth cleaned very badly -- I have put it off because I've not felt up to it, and I know it is important for heart health to take care of my teeth.
