Question: I want to increase eumelanin production while decreasing pheomelanin

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

Is it possible to increase eumelanin production in the human body, while decreasing pheomelanin production? I am one of those “fortunate few” born with mutations in MC1R (a.k.a. red hair, fair skin, freckles, & hating it), along with being a top contender for Basal Cell Carcinoma, Squamous Cell Carcinoma, and Melanoma.

Question: Retired male experiencing severe cramps in hands

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

I am a retired 61 year old male. I live in WV. I spend most of my time working on rehabbing the house my wife and I bought several months ago.

Unfortunately, I have been experiencing severe cramps in my hands during the day (sometimes, but not always, while working on something). These cramps last anywhere from a few seconds to 30 minutes. I try to stay hydrated while working, drinking water or Gatorade.

I would like to know what is causing these cramps and how to avoid or minimize their occurrence. Also, is there something I can do to make them go away more quickly.

Question: My family has Familial Tremors…my tremors have now increased

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

In 2012 my doctor started me on Lamictal to help regulate my mood and boost the wellbutrin I take. Around that time (age 34) I noticed a faint tremor in my hands. As the years have past the tremors have worsen. My grandfather, aunt and father all have Familial Tremors that started in their thirties so I chalked it up to that.

I had read that Lamictal may cause tremors so my doctor and I decided to reduce my dose just to see which was the true cause. Unfortunately I have noticed an increase in my tremors. However I am told the Familial tremors worsen as you age.

Do you think Lamictal could have been reducing the tremors, since it is mainly used as a seizure drug?

Question: Problems sleeping….but worried that I might get dependent on sleeping pills

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

Hello doctor. For the past two months I have been having difficulty in falling asleep. I am a 20 year old female and I’m a second year medical student. I’m a vegetarian but I eat eggs. I’m on Minerva for about five months because prior to this I was experiencing hair loss. I also have a chronic gastric ulcer which Im managing with Ulsanic tablets.

A few weeks after the sleeping problem I had been taking Alprozol (sleeping pills) I tried not to use it daily as it only caused me to sleep for about 6 hours. I took it within a course of 4 weeks but not daily. Before I took the Alprozol I tried a more natural approach and took Calmettes nite tablet but it didn’t affect me.

Then for the past two weeks I’ve been taking Sleep Eze.PM I take one tablet, sometimes two but used it intermittently. When I took two it made me feel overly exhausted the next day and I couldn’t concentrate on my academics.

I started doing exercise regularly to try and tire myself out and I can feel that my body is tired and my eyes have a burning and heavy sensation but when I close my eyes and try and sleep my mind is overly active and I can’t seem to stop it and I lay in bed without managing to fall asleep.

I used to have this problem before an exam but my mind would wonder for about 2hours and I’d manage to get about four hours of sleep or more but now I feel as though I don’t get any amount of sleep I just lay there.

What would you recommend I do? I’m worried that I might get dependent on sleeping pills and I really want to get my sleep back because it is affecting my concentration and therefore my studies.

Question: I have polycystic ovary syndrome.. now I have spotting or bleeding every couple of days

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

I am a 23 year old female with normal weight. I have polycystic ovary syndrome (all female cousins on dad’s side have it, may be genetic?). I have had heavy periods since the start of puberty with bad cramping. I have been on different contraceptive pills for the last 5 years in an attempt to reduce pain and bleeding and now on Brenda Ed I have manageable period pain. In the last 6 months I have started bleeding more and more often between my periods, though I have been taking the pill every day. I have been sleeping a lot more than usual (<11 hrs/night) but have to wake up <2 times per night due to urinary urgency. This could be due to stress as I have been working long hours and have deadlines coming up. I am concerned now as I have spotting or bleeding every couple of days and for inconsistent times. In the past strenuous exercise has also triggered bleeding.

Question: Mole on neck is burning….is it serious?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

I have this mole on my neck that’s been there for a long time, it has a hair that grows out of it that I occasionally trim but recently I noticed a burning sensation in the area of the mole, it’s between the front and side of my neck, I was just wondering if the sensation could be something serious from the mole or just irritation from rubbing against my shirt or my chin cause I sit or lay down frequently with my chin applying pressure and occasionally rubbing against my neck

Before a year i went to hospital and they told me to wear glasses with protection against radiation because i use laptop and phone alot but it didn’t work. I can’t take it, it’s very painful please help I can’t go to hospital non of their treatments worked.

Let me describe to you what happens when i’m in pain : first when the migraine starts it starts slowly without pain but i can feel and the same time i have this weird sense on my throat like I can’t breathe normally it feels like i’m taking less oxygen than usual and i feel like getting chocked but not to my entire throat just the 2 big veins on each side that pumps the blood to the brain.
Then i close my laptop and everything and turn off the lights because it makes it worse
Then lay down on my bed grab my hand push on my right side of my head where the pain is and try to stay calm as much as possible without noises
Then i just fall asleep and then wake up and the pain is gone but it comes back when in start using my lap and phone again
But there is something different this year which my method of getting rid of the pain works less than it used be.
That’s why I came here to find out what is wrong with me.

Question: I have a fissured tongue… went to my local doctor…he dismissed me?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

in the late 90’s after a 2 day fast my tongue became fissured, horizontal around the edges as well as a line down the center of my tongue with cracks coming off that line. also white patches which reduce after gentle tongue scraping. indentations also around edges of tongue. associated symptoms include severe halitosis. i have tried medications(pasteels) and an extended course of anti-biotics for possible oral thrush, with no change. removal of tonsils for possible cause of halitosis, removal of wisdom teeth also for possible cause of halitosis. the one time i have experienced any change was when i was admitted to hospital about 8 years ago for taking too many paracetamol tablets over a 48 hr period, i had no idea they could be so dangerous. my liver started to fail and i was put on an IV drip and admitted for several days until i normalized. as a result of being on the IV drip my tongue regained a completely normal appearance- for the first time in almost a decade! dehydration issues?? i have tried to remedy potential dehydration by increasing water uptake to 2-3 liters every day with no change except a feeling of a dry mouth. i have tried various mouthwashes/gargles with no success. dietary changes reducing acidic and spicey foods as well as giving up smoking and reducing drinking to once every 2-3 weeks. with no change as of yet, ive started taking B vitamin complex and iron as a possible cause for fissured tongue(B12/B6?) with no change. the only thing that as worked absolutely(and completely unlooked for i might add) was being on an IV drip for a couple of days whilst admitted to hospital. i have tried to convey this to my local GP but am dismissed immediately! i hope to get advice on how to pursue the possibility of IV treatment as a possible resolution for my fissured tongue issue?. there is no pain associated with my fissured tongue issue either.

Question: Caregiver..needs pain to stop to keep her job

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

Hi, I work as a caregiver for years. I lift them with assistance of other caregiver when they fall. But for the last 4months my right shoulder been hurting when i extend it certain ways. Its difficult to lift arm above half way or extend backwards. It started on my right shoulder blade and crawled down later to just above my elbow. Just a couple weeks ago,my left shoulder started to hurt too,but not as bad as my right one. My joints on tows and fingers are stiff but not too bad yet. My left middle finger sometimes hurts when bending. I don’t know if it started because I’ve been gaining weight within the year or because I’ve been using my right side of mouth for about the same time my shoulder began to hurt after few dental appointments. My period been changing the last couple times and i take ibuprofen;it’s been less,but usually super heavy. I have had dandruff that comes and goes for seems to be monthly or so. That started about 3years ago after taking antibiotic due to UTI. It made me weak and tired also. A few times the dandruff crawled down from scalp all the way to sides of my mouth. My doctor prescribed me with a lotion for scalp and cream for face which help but it won’t cure the root of whatever causing it. I had a blood test and mostly turns out ok except i have prediapedic and needs to take iron pills. I can’t really take iron pills coz it gives me bad diarrhea lots of times at home and at work too. I know it sounds confusing, I’m confused and hurt too.
So here’s a short history of my health issue. Before my UTI, i never was sick. My only problem was extreme heavy period. I am now 36years old test needs help figuring out a way out of pain. I need the pain to go away coz i need my job. Any help is very much appreciated. Thank you.
