Avatar n tn I have been off doryx for about seven months now and my hair loss stopped around 3 1/2 months and I noticed my hair starting to grow back around the fourth or fifth month. I took biotin, lysine, and vitamin e, which has been keeping both my skin and my hair healthy.
Avatar m tn A month later (2nd month) I had low flow urinating and slight discomfort to my urethra while urinating. I was taking alli that time and thought that was the cause of maybe dehydration or loss of essential vitamins to my body, since I never took a multiple vitamin which was instructed to do while on the over the counter weight loss medication.
Avatar n tn However, she became extremely lethargic, loss of appetite, weight loss, and hair loss/skin lesions. She was then started on a two week dose of doxy followed by two weeks of zenaquin. she has lost over 6lbs and was only 35lbs to begin with. She was just put on another two weeks of zenaquin. Her blood tests revealed high WBC, low RBC, and low T4. It is now about two months from the start of her symptoms and she is still very sick with little improvement from the meds.
Avatar f tn OK thank you. I think the weight loss could be due to stress, but I'll take care of it.
Avatar f tn Dear Jackie, I do not have this disease but, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, weight loss, abdominal pain, cough, diarrhea, sore and aching joints, and also change in mental status are all side effects that are extremely common. I’m sorry to say that I don't know much about the treatment for it other than the antibiotics... side effects can always be tricky and i really don't want to tell you to do something that might make it worse...
631676 tn?1333718203 I am so very sorry about your loss and the aftermath of sadness and anger. When I had my 2nd m/c I was so full of anger that it scared me. I had to tell my Obgyn and she wanted to keep an eye on it. I eventually went on Prozac. Anger is a very common emotion during the grief process. It may help to try and get your anger out thorough a fitness program, maybe a punching bag or weight machines, treadmill? Try crying and screaming at the top of your lungs - just get it out.
Avatar n tn A month ago I had a staph infection which the dermatologist treated and gave me doxycycline to combat it. 5 days with the medication I started getting headaches/pressure daily, starting from the back and then making it's way to behind the eyes where it would stay for ~2-4 hours. Before bedtime the pressure would die down/not prevent me from sleeping and when I would wake up the pressure wouldn't come back till 3-4 hours later.
Avatar n tn I was just diagnosed with lyme disease and will be taking Doxycycline for 30 days. Can anyone tell me if I must avoid dairy entirely or just avoid it a couple of hours before and after taking this antibiotics? Thanks.
Avatar f tn Our 7 year old yellow lab Rocco was recently diagnosed in the last stage of renal failure just a couple weeks ago. I brought him to our regular vet with symptoms of loss of appetite, bad breath & nausea. The vet did a brief exam & said his exam was unremarkable & didn’t feel like a blood work was necessary. Said he looks like a healthy dog. A week later I called the vet back & said I wanted blood work done. On a Friday they performed blood work & urinalysis.
Avatar n tn I was on a high pressurized airplane and I had taken some ampicillin and later tinidazole+doxycycline+roxithromycin and vitamin b complex. Suddenly I had terrible hearing loss and inability to speak or understand people Is this RH, I ran to the ER and they gave me 7 days of valtrex. the prednisone seems to help a lot at 60mg/day. After 3 days I began to regain my hearing but I still can't hear or PROCESS the word 'heart' Thanks!
Avatar m tn s hard to tell over the net, syphilis usually starts with a painless red sore called chancre on the genitals (or anus/mouth if that was the sexual contact) and then progresses to a rash, fever, headache, loss of appetite, weight loss and sore throat (this can occur weeks to months after the contact). You may be overacting, best consult your doctor.
Avatar f tn There are healthy ways to lose weight and that could be discussed in the specific forum but obtaining a nutrionist is best and Weight Watchers good as well but avoid weight loss products. Most are unhealthy or useless. And products with Nutrasweet should be avoided as well as that can worsen depression (as some studies show). Replace all sugared drinks with flavored seltzer water for starters. That worked for me.
Avatar n tn hi there lovely ladies! ok this may seem a bit of a rant, but I am so frustrated! I an 23 and was diagnosed with PCOS 2 years ago, i am on the pill, and was simply told by my doctor, exercise more and eat right (which is a bit suss as you'll see below), i can deal with the dieting, i can deal with the random periods and i can deal with the excess hair (my mums italian so it was kinda on the cards already) but i cannot deal with the weight!
Avatar m tn t have to count calories you eliminate the foods that cause the weight gain, the spikes in insulin which causes the weight gain and amazingly you will lose weight.. you will have more energy and it will become easier to exercise and you gain that energy.. I'm down 60 lbs and am loving eating this way.. it has cured a bunch of health problems and it has helped a bunch of people(including my parents) get to where they want to be with their weight.
Avatar f tn ) oh and my sister is pregnant with her fourth and all her pregnancies she always lost weight and not gained! So jus try ur best and eat when u can, good luck!
Avatar f tn hi beverlyhilsa, actually, most of our problem are just because of our bad habits, no one has forced you to eat junks, sugar or other stuff like that but still, you are eating. okay, now if you have really decided to lost weight just say "yes I can do it" and you are half done. people will share their experiences over this forum and I'll do the same. I use beyond weight management tea for my weight loss and found it really good.
Avatar f tn The most important things for weight loss is to calculate BMI and calorie intake requirement. Diet should be planned with more proteins and fibre, less carbohydrates and fat. On an average 2-3 kilos should be lost in a month. You should right and healthy. Never skip a meal. Also a fitness regime needs to be fixed. I would suggest that you visit a nutritionist and fitness expert for further assistance. Best.
