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 f tn So I went to see the specialist today and let me say first off I was devastated when I found out I had it last week Wednesday ftm @33wks bc it doesn't run in my family and I never had it before. But listening and talking to the specialist it's not that bad and my scoring wasn't bad at all either just by a couple points but I realize that if you just go by the diet and that the things they give you that everything will be ok.

I worked well. The healthy skin survived and was able to heal.
Avatar f tn I have headaches at least twice daily to the point where it hurts to touch my head. I become dizzy and my vision is blurred.

Avatar f tn What is everyone's experience with getting (private) disability insurance? I'm currently un-dx, but with clinical sx that support a dx (so far no lesions on MRI). I first saw an MS specialist 6.5 years ago. I'm currently seeing an MS specialist now (in a different city).

7471685 tn?1393400778 I want to commend you, Marie, for wanting to take care of your eyes. Bilberry and Lutein are the primary supplements recommended for eye care. There are some good formulas also from health food stores which contain these two plus others that can make your eyes stronger and healthier. If you find that your eyes have a tendency to get dry, you can use some artificial tears. Systane Ultra was recommended to my mom by our specialist.
Avatar m tn I have had it for two months now. It comes and goes. It does not affect my daily activities, and it is not a constant pain. It does irritate my left eye sometimes, making it watery. I had a cat scan of the sinuses and a brain MRI, which show nothing. I researched trigeminal nerve, but I do not have excruciating pain and it does not hurt when I touch my face. I researched Bells Palsy, but there is no numbness or paralysis.

Here's how.
