You should discuss any insulin regimen changes with a doctor before you do anything. Both Fiasp and Novarapid are rapid-acting insulins to be used to treat diabetes by controlling blood sugar levels. It is recommended to follow only the insulin given by the doctor to avoid any complications.

Iam taking steroid prednisolone wysolone 10mg daily for 3 years continuing can't stop so iam having severe osteoporosis so iam taking teriparatide injection for bone Support Osteri 600mcg for One Month iam continuing so it's going to be end only one dose i have so iam waiting for my dr advise & answer dr is leave so till waiting time what happens when you stop taking teriparatide for 1 week
Male | 23
Stopping teriparatide suddenly may impact bone strength. Though you won't feel effects immediately, over time, reduced density weakens bones and fracture risk rises. Don't miss doses; following doctor's orders is key to reinforce bone health and avoid issues.

Hi! I will be undergoing dexamethasone suppression testing and I accidentally took my pill at 10pm instead of 11pm. Can I still get my blood withdraw tomorrow at 8am? Thank you!
Female | 32
When it comes to dexamethasone suppression testing, timing is everything. If you take the pill an hour early it shouldn’t be a big deal. It's not likely to significantly alter the results of the test. You should still be able to have your blood drawn at 8 am tomorrow. Just try and follow the prescribed schedule next time for more accurate results.

Female | 37
Hormone imbalance can cause tiredness, weight changes, irregular periods, and mood swings. It happens when hormones in your body aren't balanced. Stress, poor diet, or medical conditions can make hormones imbalanced. To fix hormones, eat healthy foods, reduce stress, and exercise regularly. Sometimes, hormone therapy from a doctor helps balance hormones.

Sorry for my english I am 23 years old. For 7 years, I have been suffering from weakness in the bones of the face and lower jaw constantly from the slightest pressure on them. I had vitamin D test and my value is 5.5 very low, and my calcium is 9.7. The doctor told me to take vitamin D 10,000 IU per day for 3 months. Should I eat a lot of foods that contain calcium or not, and how much calcium per day for the 10,000 iu? Because when I take vitamin D supplements, I feel an itching sensation in the lower jaw, as if it is weakening more. The question is Should I increase calcium foods or make it less because i feel it's getting more weak, or what should I do to avoid bone erosion? And i'm afraid if calcium will be more than normal when i eat more calcium food because it's 9.7 now thanks.
Female | 23
Judging from what you said, you are having a problem with low vitamin D levels, which can result in the weakening of the bones. Taking 10,000 IU per day as your doctor suggested is good, but you should also eat foods that are rich in calcium. Do not forget to take around 1,000 to 1,200 mg of calcium daily. Consider adding milk, yogurt, cheese, and leafy greens to your diet. Talk to your doctor if you feel more weakness in your jaw or experience itching to adjust your supplements.

My father is experiencing pain in his entire body's bones, and it's not decreasing even with medication. He has also developed diabetes, and there is a deficiency of vitamin D as indicated by the test results. He needs to follow up with the doctor for regular check-ups and adhere to the prescribed treatment to improve his health.
Male | 65
The bone pain, diabetes, and low vitamin D levels are concerning. Those symptoms could be from osteomalacia. This is when bones become weaker due to vitamin D deficiency. It causes pain and increased fracture risk. Your dad's doctor will guide the right treatment. This may involve supplements and medications. Regular check-ups are important to monitor progress and improve his health over time.

Male | 54
Your TSH is 6.5 which means that you may have a thyroid problem. One of the symptoms of this could be feeling weak, gaining weight, or getting cold easily. In addition, with a B12 level of only 198, you are also at risk of feeling numb and weak. You might require medicine to fix the thyroid issue while low B12 might call for adjusting your diet or taking supplements.

I HV been diagnosed with thyroid level 4.84 and TB gold as >10 infection.what does it mean
Female | 38
Your thyroid is 4.84, it is slightly elevated which shows that there may be an issue with your thyroid. Moreover, TB Gold >10 suggests a possible infection of tuberculosis. These signs may differ, for instance, fatigue, weight gain or loss as well as coughing up blood could all indicate this disease. The cause is either malfunctioning glands in the neck region or exposure to TB bacteria through inhalation into one’s lungs. Therapy involves drugs that normalize hormone production by these organs and anti-TB medications if necessary.

Hello Dr, hope ur doing well! 23yrs old female not married Actually i wanna consult u abt taking Progyluton while i don’t have ovarian cysts neither irregular periods just that i got high testosterone 3.01 and prolactin 26.11 levels somehow. One of the physicians prescribe Cabergoline only that decrease prolactin but what abt testosterone as well, so what i gotta take? P.s. there’s hairsuitism only on chin and legs not chest and back Some pustules n papules acne as well but too rare. Thank you:))
Female | 23
High testosterone may cause unwanted hair growth and acne. Cabergoline treats prolactin issues. However, spironolactone tackles excess testosterone, potentially reducing hirsutism and acne by lowering testosterone levels. It's wise to discuss this medication option with your doctor, as their guidance ensures your well-being.

It’s normal for their cholesterol levels to go up. Moreover, the thyroid medication you are on may be a contributing factor. Keep track of your cholesterol since it can sometimes be risky. Ensure you eat well and stay physically fit too. You should see a doctor about any worries you might have.

When I wake up in the morning and I haven't even drank, I still pee a lot. comes once but Its range is more and after that I sleep and then I go to the washroom, still I come out with a lot of urine. Its range is more without water. Why is this so? I neither have diabetes nor UTI infection Am unmarried
Female | 22
Human beings tend to urinate more in the morning than in the evening after sleeping for a long period. This is because our kidneys expel more of the blood impurities overnight. Therefore, we should expect to pee more after we wake up. In the absence of other symptoms like pain or unusual color, it is usually normal.

Female | 19
People your age should gain weight bit by bit. Perhaps you are not eating enough or have thyroid issues among other things which commonly lead to a lack of weight gain. Have balanced diet meals that are inclusive of proteins, carbohydrates, and healthy fats. To rule out any health complications, go for regular checkups with a physician.

Why am I loosing weight even though I eat a lot? Other times I take appetite stimulants and after I gain weight, I loose it within a week or two. Is this normal? Because I actually eat a lot
Female | 27
People associate eating more and suffering from weight loss with potential problems. Some reasons include a fast metabolism, thyroid issues, diabetes, or stress. People who consume appetite-causing agents may appear to temporarily gain weight; however, a quick reduction in body mass could indicate a possible underlying cause. In response to this, continue to consume a balanced diet, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly, and get checked by a medical professional.

Your test results show elevated levels in liver enzymes (AST, ALT, Gamma GT), which may indicate liver stress or damage. The higher MPV and kidney function markers also need attention. Visit a hepatologist for liver concerns and a nephrologist for kidney health to get a clear diagnosis and treatment plan. It’s important to follow their advice for further tests or treatments.
