Hello people,I think there is a problem when you post on your opinion on another person thread.people with DISEASES you can check ASK ME HOW on the front page to get prescription on your problems!most diseases are cured by supplements which most of us know but we neglect it because of the cost,but am telling you today if am not sure of it I won't come to NAIRALAND for people to enjoy the health benefit. ASK ME HOW,DISEASE/PRESCRIPTION.

Doc', I've always been very agile, and infact, a tom-boy. But, all of a sudden, I started getting weak, I can't even walk up stairs again without stopping to rest, funny enough, I'm still my slim me. For like 2 years now, I started noticing some changes in my system, I'm quite allergic to some spices, especially, when the meal is still on fire. Noodles spices make me sneeze so much, I wake everyday having a hoarse kind of voice, nostrils most times blocked, always trying to get mucus off my throat and nostrils. Since 2008, I've been experiencing this kind of palpitation, and even a recent 1 lasted for not less than 2days. I have pains in my chest and behind my ribs at times. I can't stand frying, dust, smoke and some harsh odours. I don't know what my challenge is. I've never had pneumonia. I hope it's not asthma. Pls, what could this be possibly pointing to?

Ehn!:

Doctor please help,Three months ago I started developing some swellings which increased in numbers weekly.They were on my bottom,the hind thighs,back of hands and legs save for my stomach,neck and face.Since they were not painful I ignored for over one month and by the time I was refered to the dermatologist the swellings had gotten infected and were so painful like boils especially the ones on my front thighs.The skin specialist confirmed it was PRURIGO and recommended tests i.e HIV,haemogram and blood sugar and the results showed no infection hence she prescribed topical antibiotic steroid and also advised I could just have antibiotic of which I popped a few and after some days the things started drying up but at a very slow rate,As of now they have left me with very black and pinkish marks but my fear is them reccuring.I would like to prevent such an infection unfortunatley no much information about prurigo on google.Kindly what can I eat or do to prevent a relapse cos I fear.For several weeks I dress in leggings and long sleeves to hide these stubborn marks and the skin specialist did not help me much

You mean to say you checked your BP? Those figures are for BP not BMI. Do you have palpitations?

If thats your BP range, you are in very good health. Stop getting scared.

Doctor, Please is detox foot bath a scam? Thanks.

nicetohave: Ulcer simply put is a breach in the epithelial continuity of any part of the body surface, so "gut" ulcer as you put it is a condition where the protective lining of the "gut" is being constantly eroded by the gastric (stomach) acid content and other factors.

The ulcer can be anywhere from the oesophagus to the first part of the duodenum as this marks the "jurisdiction" of the gastric acid. So the ulcer is commonly known as PEPTIC ULCER DISEASE, and can be a GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE, GASTRIC ULCER DISEASE or DUODENAL ULCER DISEASE, depending on the part of gut affected.

The three have similar symptoms, which is essentially a "burning" or "gnawing" pain in the gut which is INTERMITTENT but quite different presentations classical to each:

Gastric ulcers pain will generally wake the patient from sleep and aggravated by food and commoner amongst people of blood group type A while that of duodenum will be relieved by food and commoner in people of blood group type O. An oesophageal reflux one tends to give the patient a feeling of shortness of breath as the acid content spills into the chest, in all though there is considerable overlap between all three presentations in real life and physicians need to be meticulous in diagnosing which is which.

As for the treatment it could be both MEDICAL (which would include lifestyle modifications) and SURGICAL (in severe cases)

The mainstay usually is the patient's lifestyle modifications:

1. They should lose weight if obese
2. Avoid tight fitting belts
3. Reduce (by about 60%) intake of coffee, pepper, spice, chocolate, cigarette, milk (now while milk can be used ro relieve the pain of peptic ulce when its on, overdependence on it daily use as a meal could also provoke it, and the same goes for Yoghurts)
4. Elevation of head of bed while sleeping
5. Eating night time meals at least 2hrs before sleep.
6. Discontinue any strong pain killers (especially the Non steroidal antiinflammatory drugs eg. Ibuprofen) and other drugs known to disrupt the protective linning of the "gut" EXCEPT WHEN ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY if an alternative cant be sought and in such cases STRICT DOSAGE COMPLIANCE IS ADVISED AND SUCH MEDICATIONS TAKEN WITH FOOD.

With all that in place i usually start my patients on a two week course of antacids (usually maximal recommendation is six weeks but experience have shown that combined with a religious observance of lifestyle modifications the ulcer heals quickly) however some patients may require the full six weeks course for full symptoms remission

There are a number of antacids in the market and the choice of which to use also depends of the severity of symtoms:

MMT solution and tablets (chewable forms are present in the market) and patients can take up to 2 tabs (teaspoon as the as the case may be) four times a day.

The H2-blockers (cimetidine, ranitidine, famotidine) commonly known as Zantac 150mg twice a day, which eliminates about 70% of the acid

And the proton pump inhibitiors; omeprazole 20 or 30mg (depending on the formulation) once daily (preferably at night), this eliminate about 95% of the acid.

There are others that will need your physicians recommendation to use it but generally the above are the mainstay of treatment.

If it is found that the ulcer is complicated by a bacteria known as H-Pylori in cases which patients do not heal despite adequate and full dose of antacids with good compliance then antibiotics will need be added, this need be prescribed again by your physician as the dose and combination that eradicates the H-Pylori is different from the everyday (ab)use of antibiotics.

Surgery is reserved for only the severe recalcitrant ones with frequent relapses.

Remain healthy.

Doctor,i have been diagnosed with the ulcer,can you please recommend a reliable drugs that can heal it permanently

Please, Doc, Nice work, and kudos for the help u guys are rendering, more power to Your elbowz.
