I’m 19 years old with what seems to be Overactive Bladder. Back around October of last year I started dieting in order to lose weight, at the time I was around 170lbs and I now weigh around 140lbs. I did not do any exercise, instead I stuck to a very limited and strict food diet. I would only eat once a day and would work 11hours straight at work without eating. My hair did start to weaken and fall out more. I am now eating normally again and maintaining my weight safely. My question is, could my diet have caused my bladder to become overactive? I cannot drink anything other than water now & my bladder is so sensitive that even if I have just 2oz in my bladder I feel the pressure & urgency to use the bathroom.

i have been getting a pain and stiffness in both my Achilles whenever I get up from a rest, for example after sleep or after a meal, a journey sitting down etc, making it difficult to walk, it only lasts around 5-10 mins each time. It started last winter when I worked in a ski resort and snowboarded a few times a week it then stopped for a while then it started again, and most times after a sit down a few months ago, I’m not a runner or anything.

Question: My mother diagnosed with Invasive ductal carcinoma, now I have mark on breast?
Should i be concered my mother age 57 recently diagnosed with Invasive ductal carcinoma. Mastectomy stage 1 grade 3. I noticed this mark on my Rt breast over a week ago started as a red flat dot then a few days (and got worse). Worried about IBC. However i have never had eczema before. I do recall a period of two days my nipple was sore and crusty yellow for a few days and cleared up however no issues since. Must be a local skin irritation right. this isn’t usual presentation for IBC is it? Probably just my mom hx and location that has me thinking.
Question: Is it a really bad charley horse cramp or dangerous seizure?
My name is Kristi, I’m a 31 yr old female, pretty good health, weigh 140lbs. And I’ve been getting really bad charley horse cramps last couple of months. I was taking a potassium tablet a day which was just barely helping. I’ve probably stopped taking them for 2 weeks now and things are getting worse. Muscles lock up, one of my toes will involuntarily twitch or get locked up nearly sideways. Last night my ankle on my right leg got locked up twisted sideways (it twisted that way itself, I couldn’t move my foot) with a little cramping in my calf while my second to big toe on my left foot twitched away. All at the same time. Seemed more like some kind of seizure than charley horse cramps. My boyfriend was able to straighten my foot & ankle while massaging it but as soon as he’d let go it would go back to twisted. Lasted about 5 minutes. Hours later I was woken in the night by a charley horse in my left calf that still leaves my calf muscle tight & sore. Hard to walk since it happened. Should I be worried this is more than low potassium? And how much potassium should I be taking daily?
