Avatar m tn This tiny herb is extremely rich in iron, which is crucial to your body's ability to transport oxygen. Just 2 teaspoons contain 20 percent of your daily intake.

233488 tn?1310693103 Data came from 5,553 participants in the 2005-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. In contrast, the same study conducted in 1988-1994 estimated the prevalence at 9.4 percent. They attribute this apparent decline to a reduction in smoking and use of antioxidant vitamins and zinc. One finding was consistent with the previous study – African Americans were at a lower risk for AMD than whites.
Avatar n tn These accumulated changes caused by degeneration can gradually compress one or more of the nerve roots. This can lead to increasing pain in the neck and arm, weakness, and changes in sensation. In advanced cases, the spinal cord becomes involved. This can affect not just the arms, but the legs as well”. Taken from http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000436.htm Investigations like MRI spine are done to rule out.
Avatar m tn I have been diagnosed with what they think is macular pattern dystrophy not macular degeneration. Can you please tell me what can be done for this if anything and what can be done for dry eye. I've been told that this is my biggest problem. I have plugs in already & you refresh or systane eye drops.
Avatar f tn Are you in sports? Calories for college students vary because of differences in physical activity. Make sure your diet is mostly whole foods including low-fat dairy, whole-grains, lean protein, fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts and healthy oils. Don't skip breakfast. Don't get in the habit of staying up late, then rush to get to class. You need food to get your metabolism up, your energy levels will be low and you'll be starving and likely to overeat by lunch.
Avatar n tn Your x-ray report could be far worse. The radiologist appears to be noting a small degree of "wear & tear" within your lumbar spine. There are a number of different things you can do to improve your quality of life - chiropractic care, stretching, yoga, etc. Overweight people often notice a decrease in back pain simply by losing a few pounds...

Avatar f tn I brought my cat to the vet today for a physical...and the vet recommended I give him a type of Purina food that is easily digestible. However, Nature's Variety is such a better quality food....95% meat, no by products, no fillers, no grain, and no gluten. So my question is....should I stick with Nature's Variety??? Also, are beef and lamb harder to digest??? He eats lamb, venison, beef, and chicken. Should I just stick with chicken, rabbit, and venison??? Thank you!!!
Avatar f tn 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 Ideally you should see a specialist and then get a referral to a physical therapist. This way you can learn the exercises that will help you build up your core muscles and take strain off of your back. My husband has the same issue and he is doing much better because of the exercises. I think he went to PT a couple times a week for maybe 4 weeks at least. Now he does the exercises at home everyday.
612551 tn?1450022175 My doctor said bright light can cause/aggregate the the MD condition and I said I never wear sun glasses and bright sun light and oncoming headlights don't give me a lot of trouble.. some of course, but not enough to make we think "put on sun glasses". With all the snow and associated extreme bright light recently I have been trying to wear sun glasses when outside on sunny days. Any experience on dealing with, slowing down the degeneration of the macular?
Avatar f tn Many patients are confuse about the term “degenerative” because it sounds like a progressive condition (get worse with age). The term applies to the disk, but does not apply to the symptoms. While it's true that the disk degeneration is likely to progress over time, the pain from degenerative disc usually does not get worse and in fact usually gets better over time. Physical therapy treatment is very important in herniated disk recovery.
Avatar m tn I am curious about retinal periphery degeneration and holes. Will a person without periphery degeneration and holes before have them in the future?Have you seen such cases? And why this would happen and can anything to be done to prevent it?
2000931 tn?1401563007 In the fridge I have home made pumpkin and lentil soup, fresh korma balls made of veggies and spices, and I have just finished dehydrating a fruit and nut delight to fight the kids over. Diet is just one aspect of my recovery. Today I lay in the sun and meditated to a bit of classical music and felt at peace. I also hobbled to the shop with my sick daughter to get exercise.
Avatar f tn These vitamins are used in patients with signs of macular degeneration, and include Vitamins A, C, E; zinc and copper; lutein; fish oil (omega 3). Do not take Vitamin A if you are a current smoker. No make-up or eye cream will harm the retina; surface irritation of the eye may occur if the make-up or cream gets onto the eye.
Avatar f tn Picture is consistent of early lumbar spondylotic changes with multiple levels of disc degeneration and diffuse posterior disc protrusion at the level of L4-L5 and L5-S1 with abutting effect on L5 and S1 roots respectively. Doctor, what does all this mean?

1448748 tn?1312956208 I am a 25 year old female who started experiencing severe pain and debilitating fatigue about a year and a half ago in my sacroilliac area, buttocks and hips. I tried all sorts of treatments such as physical therapy, diet change, and nsaids and stretching and heating pads, etc. They provide very little relief and It always gets worse after standing and walking for long periods of time and is relieved only somewhat by laying down or sitting and resting.
Avatar m tn There is no evidence that all your symptoms are tied together (although plenty of alternative health folks would have you believe it so they can "sell" you treatments). Things can just occur coincidentally. Vitreous syntheresis is no big deal. You're making a mountain of a molehill. If you find yourself continually obsessing about this, I'd recommend strongly you seek treatment for anxiety.
Avatar f tn I wanted to know if I really am suffering from some kind of disease. At 16 years old, I started to have a poor memory, and now I often forgot things easily even though I heard or seen it just a second ago. Whenever I am walking, I would just realize that I have fallen asleep, and when I opened my eyes I would lose my balance.
Avatar n tn It may slow down or prevent dry macular degeneration and may help prevent dry macular degeneration from developing into wet macular degen. However once wet macular degeneration develops it is not helpful. The information about AREDS (age related eye disease study) is also incorrect. The original AREDS formula had NO lutein in it at all. The AREDS 2 formula has . lutein and zeaxanthine in it. First reports on AREDS 2 study were released in May 2013.
