Can you further describe pain? Sharp, tingling, dull, numbness etc... where in the feet/hands/wrist? Any pain elsewhere or other symptoms on your body? Anything else that helps or worsens it?

I will say: do get you blood sugar checked preferably via serum, can get finger prick on glucometer if that is cheaper and easier for you.

There is arthritis, but need to check other causes. Do add: blood count too, and TSH/T4 if you can afford them.

Regards

Which bothers you most: diarrhea or the belly pain?

Here are my recommendations:

1. Stress management and relaxation techniques
2. Keep food diaries of possible foods that are causing or worsening symptoms. Pay attention to sugary/lactose foods, caffeine, corn, wheat/gluten, citrusy substances.
3. Trial of bentyl (dicycloamine) 20 mg 4x daily for two weeks. If it doesn't stop belly cramping, stop it.
4. Other options if bentyl doesn't work: trial of anxiolytic like paroxetin.e or anti-depressants like TCA.

Just let me know what you want to do.

Regards.
I have only being trying the relaxation techniques, and I have been trying to stay away from stress.
No food causes it.
but now I have noticed this starts like a week to my period. cramps and stooling starts and I loose weight. pls help me. I notice I have insomnia too.

Constipation possibly. Solution depends on cause. Have you had belly surgeries in the past? How is your diet?

Anyway, do get bowel cleanser; as in stool softener. Also drink plenty of water, eat more fruits/veggies, and fiber rich foods, and less red meat and carb dense foods.

If it starts a week before period, is this your normal PMS symptom then?

Try the medication I suggested in my last post, and see if it helps.

Re insomnia: how is your sleeping habit? Try improve sleeping techniques first: sleep on firm soft mattress, bedroom should be dark and only for sleeping (or sex), no glaring at phone, computer and TV screens before sleep. Eat few hours before sleep.

Are you anxious/depressed about anything? Keep working on stress relief.

Regards.

Depends on cause. Are you sexually active or engage in MouthAction? If so, then screen for STD.

If not, there's common virus cause, or there are also causes like nutritional or vitamin deficiencies and in some cases, some systemic medical condition. Or just too drip of a mucous membrane; in that case, drink water and apply moisturizer.

Tell me more about the nature of the sore, where is it, what does it look like? Is it more of cracked lips or deep in the mouth/gums/corner of mouth, lips? tongue, sides? Is it bleeding, open sore?

Regards.

Does it shake randomly when at rest or more like with activity?

There is essential tremor that often is familial.

Do you have other symptoms, similar issue with family member or what is your medical history?

Do you also take excessive caffeinated beverages?
yes it does shake without doing any activity

afolayan22:

You did not answer the rest of the questions, or are they negative? Again, do you take any medications, drink caffeinated beverages, under enormous emotional/psychological stress, anxiety/stress? Any other symptoms you notice? Anyone in the family has similar tremor etc?

The most common cause of resting tremor is neurological disorder; parkinsons' disease. What is your age bracket?

I recommend getting a neurological exam and doing some lab tests: thyroid function.

Is vision affected? Blurry? Double vision? Pain? Discharge? Redness? If non of the above, it's likely benign. Do follow up with eye exam. perhaps a floater, foreign substance?

You are probably getting a small vaginal tear/cut with intercourse. Try using plenty of lubrication before intercourse and keep area clean and dry, with some moisturization afterwards.

Do get checked for STD if some concerns of that.

Do get checked out for vein thrombosis and injection site infection. Best case scenario, it is just a reaction to the injection. In that case, RICE: rest, ice, compress and elevate area.

Hi. Quick question.

How do you explain high ESR of 31...though it recently dropped to 28 after the patient was placed on medications? Please note that ESR has been high consistently for a long period of time.

Go and get your blood sugar checked. Can be due to drugs or food/drink intake. Are you on any medication? Supplements? Any pain or tingling with urination? White as in less yellow or like clear pure water? Any medication condition y'know of?

When you say turn as in you watch it change color? Or it comes out that way?

If you are dehydrated: urine will take up more yellowish color.
If you are more hydrated: it will take up clearer color.
