I have had numerous symptoms for a longtime including chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, and digestive issues. My Dr.prescribed me a medication that coated my stomach to help with mild gastritis. I started feeling way way worse. I read that it could block magnesium absorption. So I stopped taking it and started taking magnesium. Instantly I felt amazingly better. Everything was gone, except for loose stools. I feltlike anormal person again. I was taking fairly large doses of 2,000 mg. It seemed that after a couple weeks; the magnesium would build up and I would have some ill effects, which resembled those of a deficiency. I would go off it for a couple days then go back on, and I would be good again. I have been doing this for 6 months. It seems like my health is completely dependent upon taking magnesium.This really worries me, because I would like the problem to be fixed. My questions are is it normal to take this long to correct a deficiency? and Is there another issue that should be looked at regarding the deficiency? Thank you for your time….male 34
Medical Questions
My 69 year old mother who has been blind for over a year in her left eye, her iris is now completely black?
My 69 year old mother who has been blind for over a year in her left eye due to an injury she suffered from sneezing to hard over two years ago. She went to an eye doctor last year when she lost sight in her eye. He said there was nothing they could do. So no problems until last night. She had a headache and took some medicine to stop it. When I brought her dinner I noticed her iris in the left eye was completely black. The white of her eye is still there. She said this morning she feels fine. Her iris is still black. Do I seek help for her?
Constipation, Diarrhea, Bloating, Intense stomach pain?
Symptoms: Constipation, Diarrhea, Bloating, Intense stomach pain, Release of Bile every time my stomach starts to hurt or I try to go poop.
I’ve been having these problems since last Friday and it seems to be getting worse. It went from being constipated, to having diarrhea, to liquid yellow and orange bile releasing every time I feel I have to “poop” or have pain in my stomach. I went to the doctors and they said it might be “food poisoning” so they gave me an antibiotic. I have not been throwing up or had a fever. Every time eat or drink water my stomach immediately hurts and I have the feeling to go poop but end up just releasing yellow or orange bile. I’ve been trying to follow the BRAT diet but I’m afraid to eat now. Please Doctor what do you think is wrong with me and what can I do to fix this? Thank you.
I have lower back dull pain on right side of spine close to L4-L5?
I’m 24 yo. I have lower back dull pain on right side of spine close to L4-L5. It gets worst when i bend back words or twist when standing straight. I can bend forward little pain when going deep. I have this pain for two and half month. On the beginning it was just a minor pain and I didn’t paid much attention to it. I kept training in gym and did all heavy exercises, like dead lift and squats. That’s when it got worst. I tried to swim, bot it caused pain, so i don’t do it any more. I still do body weight exercise home and try to avoid movements causing pain.
I went to a doctor and he said I have “Conflict of spinous processes” and he used X RAY to conclude that. I’m not sure if his diagnose is right. My physiotherapist said I have a good posture and strong core. I don’t know how to procedure further.
I got a MRI of the brain and cervical spine, there is a 1.8 cm left maxillary sinus cyst, is it a concern?
Female, 24. Symptoms include flashes in the left eye plus a shadowy ripple effect flutter in the deep left bottom corner in the same eye, flashes occur about 20 times a day and the flutter doesn’t go away. Eye pain as well and sometimes severely, horrible head aches that make me cry actual tears. I always feel tired like I don’t get enough sleep. There are nights when I will sleep through the entire night. Or I have nights when I wake up about every hour and a half, almost exactly. My legs and feet always sore, it feels most insense when I lay down. I will randomly get very bad bladder pains. It feels like the actual lining of my bladder is being attacked. It just gets very painful and no matter how I sit or lay it hurts, I haven’t figured out a way to soothe it yet for when it does happen. I get dizzy at times, especially in heat. It’s most intense in the shower, to where I don’t even attempt to stand anymore. With this being said, I have been seen, however I am more looking for a second opinion on what to do. I was seen by a retina specialist who was suspicious of retina detachment or damage to the ocular nerve. Long story short he found zero damage to both. So I was referred to a neurologist. I got a MRI of the brain and cervical spine. The cervical spine was normal, and the brain was normal with one exception. It says on the report that there is a 1.8 cm left maxillary sinus cyst. the doctor did not explain what that is to me, nor did anything for me. I have no follow up or anything either. Wouldn’t a cyst almost an inch big inside a head strike a concern?
When I gave birth I tore very very badly, urine is now inside my vaginal canal?
I’m 26. I have no medical issues or history worth noting. No medication either. When I gave birth I tore very very badly. Parts had to be thrown away they were ripped so badly. It’s been 4 years now and I recently switched to a menstral cup. Upon emptying the cup I was horrified to find urine in it. Apparently when I pee it’s getting inside of my vaginal canal somehow. Is this dangerous? Ps. I don’t have healthcare
Hematoma after mini face-lift, caused lips and eyes to be swollen shut?
Female, age 68, non-smoker, excellent health until hematoma following recent mini-facelift. Hematoma caused drainage into my lips and eyes (even though neither was a part of the surgery). My eyes were swollen shut, but have now opened enough for me to see. The hematoma was suctioned out, but the problem now is that my lips remain huge. I can’t close them so I drool like a baby. My surgeon is so nice, I don’t want to hurt his feelings, and he has literally been seeing me in his office every day to re-check the hematoma. He thinks it will go away over time;however, my lips remain unchanged. IIs there anything that can speed up the process?

I had an allergic reaction while taking a shower, I am not allergic to anything or any medication?
I’m a 53yr old female on Nov 16 I had an allergic reaction while taking a shower. I was in a facility where nurses were available. I got to their station and passed out. When I came to they gave me benedryl and had called the paramedics. I am not allergic to anything or any medication. Since this episode 2 weeks ago my energy level is low and I fell fatigued most of the time. They advised me to see my GP. Thinking this was an isolated incident, I held off making an appointment. While at home tonight I was in the shower started to itch and get blotchy. Feeling the same symptoms as 2 weeks ago, I turned the water to ice cold. Got out of the shower and scratched and put lotion on. What is going on?

I’m 39 weeks pregnant and have just discovered I have thread worm, I can’t take any medication as not recommended?
Hello I’m 39 weeks pregnant and have just discovered I have thread worm, I can’t take any medication as not recommended I have cleaned and cleaned and cleaned but I am going out of my mind, will this effect the birth I feel like I won’t be able to hold my baby because I’m terrified I have eggs constantly on my hands therefore not bonding as I should. I should be looking forward to it all it’s my last weeks but to be honest I’ve just totally forgot about it the cleaning and worry has taken over my life. Is there anything for the itch or any natural remodies that can be taken that are safe, I suffer from constipation I did before getting pregnant so hardly going to the toilet so surely they aren’t being expelled as they should is it advised to take laxatives so I know that they are coming out. I am going out my mind my I’m terrified the eggs are everywhere because I don’t know how long I have had them only started getting symptoms last Thursday. The doctors don’t really seem bothered just get on with it doing the hygiene but it’s easy to say that when they aren’t up all night cos of the wriggling the horrible thought of it all. Just help please any feedback would be greatly appreciated thank you.
