It's a yeast infection under my breasts, that's what a doctor told me from looking at it but they did not test it or tell me the type, just told me to use OTC yeast infection cream. I've not been told I am antifungal resistant, I just want to avoid it or contributing to it or having it happen to me. My GP gave me loprox cream bc I asked and it seems to work if I use it everyday.
It only goes away if I use it twice a day like the doctor wrote on the prescription but if I'm lazy it comes right back.
Is that OTC in Canada? I saw a derm today and she gave me Canesten with hydrocortisone and said they work better together.
If you’re a woman: I would confirm levels first with your actual doctor and then consider the progesterone only mini pill or something to stabilize your hormone levels instead of dealing with the cyclical fluctuation that happens naturally pre menopause.
All good advice in moderation but I don’t think it’ll target estrogen blood levels specifically. No return should go get a complete hormone panel; estrogen is a downstream end product of FSH so they could have something wrong with their pituitary gland and its regulating hormones and the main symptom is higher estrogen. It would suck to be super focused on trying to reduce estrogen only to learn later you’ve got bigger probs (like a pituitary gland tumor would be a worst-case scenario.)
The problem with q-tips are that they can't really scoop the wax, so you often end up pushing it deeper into the canal. This can either cause it to get lodged (like you described), or, in the worst-case, can end up rupturing the eardrum if you push it too hard/deep.
Sometimes I wish I had Asian earwax. Those little bamboo picks with the puff on the other end have to feel great.
I'm assuming you are talking about ARPKD (Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease) rather than ADPKD (Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease). ADPKD can involve PKD1, PKD2, or PKD3 and has multiple modifier genes that change the phenotypic expression of the disorder. ARPKD is caused by PKHD1 and is monogenic. However, PKHD1 is differentially spliced and is known for having multiple recessive genotypes, sometimes leading to compound heterozygosity which can lead to differences in phenotypic expression. If the pathogenicity of a given mutation is unknown then it is impossible to know if they are synergistically pathogenic or not. As such, you basically can note it, but not much else.
How is your sleep at night? It's not a panacea, but it's really easy to overlook chronic poor sleep and just see its side effects.
I usually wake up every hour. Roll over and go back to sleep. I've been taking magnesium glycinate to try to get deeper better sleep. Last night was good, had more time between my dinner and actually getting ready for bed so that may be part of it.
Don't go to regular doctors. They're not useful for anything but symptoms that are obviously a specific illness, as well as referring you to other doctors. Look them up yourself. Got gastrointestinal issues? Bing search for a gastroenterologist in your area (and make sure they're covered in your insurance's network). Skin issues? Find a dermatologist. You only go to a regular doctor for things you're certain of, such as having a UTI or getting a recurrent prescription.
That's not ADHD. That's normal. It's why siestas used to be taken. Stop eating so much. You're not helping your gut, and food makes you want to nap. Fasting makes your mental focus sharper. Find a way to keep your mind busy in those activity lulls too.
