Question 4

Supplements : Since the FDA doesn't investigate supplements, most physicians are unfamiliar with them and are reluctant to ok their use. Supplements have been known to have contaminants, other unknown medications, interaction with prescription medications,etc. Your pharmacist may have more information for you.

Question 6

if woman facing body aching, feeling cold & weak , moody after her period.she washed hair during period & didn't dry well and had cold, any serious prob?

Accepted Answer

Not related: Washing or not washing hair, and drying or not drying hair, does not cause the body aches and other mentioned symptoms. However, if wet hair makes a woman not sleep well, or if it makes her sleep in a strange head/neck position, she could be tired and moody by morning. If bothersome symptoms persist, a primary care doctor can evaluate to see if there is a problem.
