I went to the doctor for some white patches on my arms. My doctor told me I had tinea versicolor, a type of fungus that destroys the melanin in your skin. He prescribed anti-fungal shampoo to clear it up. But is there a way to make sure you dont get it again? Ive read that some people are more prone to getting it.
Over the past 3 weeks, Ive developed pain in my ankles, Achilles tendon, knee and elbows. The pain is minor to severe, and it feels like the pain moves from joint to joint. I havent changed my routine or had any injuries. So what could cause this?
Ive had sciatica for a couple of weeks now. Id like to exercise, but I dont seem to get any better or worse whether I do or dont. The pain is worse at night and first thing in the morning. Ive had X-rays, but they dont show anything. Can I exercise 4 days a week to keep on my fitness schedule? My back doesnt hurt at all its just the sciatica.
I have a pretty active job where Im on my feet all day, running back and forth? Does this count as exercise? Or over the years, does your body just get used to this level of activity and you need to be even more active to lose weight?
I used to have a LOT of hair, very long and curly. I went through a clinical depression and my hair started falling out -- so much so that I almost have a bald spot on the top part of my head. What can I do to jump start the growth of new hair on my head?
I sometimes get muscle cramps so severe that I can't use the stairs. I am into weight lifting, but never work the same muscle groups on back-to-back days. I get plenty of water and potassium. Any ideas what could cause this?
