Avatar f tn ) The skin is stretched so tight over the inside ankle bone and the bottom edge of the plate that the incision keeps breaking open. I had a second surgery to clean it up and resew the incision. It has broken open again, and the edge of the plate is visible.

Avatar m tn Around three years ago, I mashed my left thumb at work. This caused the fingernail to bruise and eventually come off. However, it has never grown back right. It has yellowing underneath the nail, like a fungus which the dermatologist tested for and was negative, and whiteness on top where the nail looks dead, and you can see the new nail underneath. The doctor didn't think I had damaged the nail bed because it was growing out straight, but is funny looking.

Avatar f tn Realize that other than Prozac, the other ssris and snris leave the body in a matter of hours, so splitting the dose actually keeps the drug in your system. But again, I noticed no difference when my dose was split, and again, it keeps the same amount in your system each day. These drugs work over time, not just in a day. Of course, that is what also makes them devilishly difficult to ever stop taking.

Avatar f tn I'm sorry for the problems you've been having... it sounds like you were doing a wonderful job of maintaining your weight loss until you became hypo. I commend you for being able to maintain your weight for such a long time. Can you give us an idea of what a typical dinner is like? You might still be eating things that are spiking blood glucose, which in turn spikes insulin levels and after the food wears off in a short time, the hypoglycemia takes over.

Extensive searching the net has found nothing. Surely my daughter is not the only case like this. I read about keratin, but it seems the keratin in hair and nails is the same.
