Question 1

i've heard of a medication for babies it's a natural medicine called bebe cal it actually calms your baby to sleep was just interested if any dr knows?

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: This medication has Diphenhydramine (benadryl), Chloral Hydrate (a strong sedative) and belladona (a poison)! none of these are recommended for parents to give to their babies! just because a medication is labeled as "natural" does not make it safe, especially for kids! many meds do not go through the fda and have never been tested on children. Do not use this without your doctor's advice.

Question 6

how can i handle friends that call me a 'junkie' for all my medications for my disability?

Accepted Answer

Openly and honestly: Sit down with your "accusing" friends and explain to them what is wrong with you and why you are taking what your take.  Show them the doctor's notes and diagnoses and explain why you have to be on your medications.  This is of course if you wish to tell them anything.  Until you have this frank and open discussion, though, you may continue to be questioned.  Are you on them legitimately?  B true!

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Anemia: Anemia is a condition where your hemoglobin or red blood cell count is lower than normal. If the level is just slightly lower than normal- is considered mild anemia. You may not have any symptoms related with that condition. In young woman like yourself, it is likely related to your period.  Your doctor can have a little blood work to evaluate the cause of your anemia. Take prenatal multivit daily.

Question 10

i've been experiencing short term memory episodes or whatever it's called. i can't remember things i just said (spacing out). im on medications. advice?

Accepted Answer

Suspicion high: That your medications are affecting your memory, as many meds have anticholinergic side effects causing cognitive issues.  Alternatively, if this is not the case, could consider thyroid issues, vitamin deficiency, even chronic low level carbon monoxide exposure, espec if you are having peculiar headaches, and red fingertips.
