My son has bald spots and alopecia?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

When my son was 18 years old, he got very tense studying and a result of worries and pressure during the final exams, my son got a ring of fire then he start losing part of his hair. This was 3 years ago and he still has bald spots on his head without hair and the ring of fire was cured on the first year
Then he start to have alopecia on his head and his eyebrows , hands and legs.
Different doctors gave him injections on the bald spots but this is not giving any progress. This is affecting his social life and taking the injections in the bold spots on his head is hurting him and he wants to stop taking it.
Please advise me of any new medication or a prescription to use to make his hair grow again.

I have been experiencing nausea and vomiting almost daily?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

For over 2 years I have been experiencing nausea and vomiting almost daily, it is worst on the morning and is not related to the type of food I eat although it is made worse by eating.

I have had endoscopy which is clear no ulcers no reflux.
Helicobacter negative.

And the gastroenterologist are leaving me with no answers.

I am taking 40mg omeprazol twice a day. To no effect although causing side effect of diarrhoea.

What else,could possibly be causing my symptoms and what should I do now?

I had a partial toe nail and matrix removal, same problem has been coming back?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

In March 2017 I had a partial toe nail and matrix removal because the inner top (curricula corner) I had an excess buildup of skin growing outward and causing light pain. Post op care was easy and painless without any issues and further healing was easy and I was careful not to wear heels or tight fitting shoes in the tie area. Now in mid August I’ve been noticing that the same problem has been coming back: the uber top corner at the side and cuticle has been swelling and building up. I’ve not gotten to the salon, have not painted my toenails, nothing since the operation. So I’m curious what the problem could be if the original issue is coming back! Could it be a deep rooted issue with healing and it could be infected? Any ideas? The photo attached showed the issue taken one week between photos with the right being the most current.

My husband has short term memory loss, blacks out for an amount of time, tremors, seizures, slurred speech at times, please advise?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

My husband is 54 and has been fighting all these symptoms for 4 years and getting worse. He has short term memory loss, blacks out for an amount of time, tremors, seizures, slurred speech at times and a lazy eye when all this is happening. He is on toprimate for seizures and hasn’t had one this year. He is also on propananol for his tremors and he is on an anti depressant that they just put him on recently for his mood swings. We have been to 4 neurologists in the area, general practioners, er… they all run their tests and everything comes up normal. He was in Afghanistan and after 3 months of being home he started all of these symptoms fast. First the short term memory loss, then seizures, the rest after that. He was hospitalized for a week. No doctor can figure out what is wrong with him so they just treat each symptom. Some don’t do anything. Any ideas or suggestions?

I had a hysterectomy last year now it broke?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

I had a hysterectomy last year, my friends came to visit me when I returned home and we were laughing and I felt something pop, I assumed I burst some stitches. I didn’t have any pain at the time as I was taking gabapentin for capsulitis in both shoulders. I recently weaned off gabapentin and I am in severe pain and distention in my abdomen. My GP referred me for an ultrasound on my ovaries which came back clear, but I am still in agony.

I have been having bad stomach cramps for about two months now?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

I have been having bad stomach cramps for about two months now, with an overall lack of energy and constipation. I’ve also noticed lately I’ve had a lack of phlegm production as well. I’ve always produced a lot of phlegm my whole life, constantly clearing my throat. I assumed this was the result of an Ulcer. So I gave up drinking and Coffee, as well as spicy foods and foods high in fat. I’ve been eating lots of fruit (no citrus), Yogurt, and generally bland foods. I have been under a lot of stress the last few years and have been dealing with a Heart Burn since then. But OTC Medications have alleviated that. I’ve been healthy my whole life, no problems at all.

I started suffering from severe air sickness/motion sickness?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

Dear doctor, I am a 35 year old male who’ve never had any serious health problems. However in the past few years I started suffering from severe air sickness/motion sickness whilst on long distance flights. I never had this problem when I was younger. I have taken various motion sickness tablets such as Hyoscine Hydrobromide and Cinnarizine but they don’t have much effect. Another thing I notice is I don’t get sick on my return flights usually within the time of 2 to 3 weeks from the start of the travel. So far I have no problems travelling by car, train and short boat trip. It would be great if could tell me what’s the possible cause of my travel sickness and how I can overcome it. Thank you.

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

I have been diagnosed with an enlarged/dilated abdominal aorta and same with inferior vena cava. Iliac veins are also noted to be aneurysmal in size (34 on left, 21 on right). I know stress could induce a rupture but could the initial dilation have been caused by stress? Male. Taking no medication.

Experiencing loud noises in ears after major heart surgery?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

My husband had major heart surgery 12months ago, it was 2 replaced valves, 1 repaired valve and 2 double bypasses. His left ventricle failed during the operation causing major problems with 2 litres of blood having to be removed from his cavity 3 -4 days after the operation. His heart is presently operating at 34%. Tablets include Warfarin and Atacan among others. His INR is 3, now reduction of warfarin in place to bring it back to 2.5.
Current problem is : he is experiencing loud noises in his ears of rushing water? Is this a concern considering what he has been through???
