Question 1

why is it some doctors on here don't read the profiles we fill out? we put on prior tests,and then ask a question. then the response says have __ test

Accepted Answer

Access: The doctors have access only to a very limited profile.  Yours lists 3 conditions, 3 medications, and 3 procedures.  We have no way of knowing what the procedure results showed, nor why they were done.  There are no blood tests listed at all, and so it may be you are asked to take a test that you have already done because it does not show up on our computer screen.

Question 2

asked question yesterday no response what now ?

Accepted Answer

Ask again: Depending  on your question, you might need to expand on the details and add more medical history to your profile to help docs answer your question.  Hope that helped.

Question 3

i just sent a question but never got a response?

Accepted Answer

Just ask again if...: If a question is not answered by the next day, just ask it again. The doctors on healthtap are volunteers who donate their time and expertise because they love to help people. Most questions are answered within a few hours, but some take longer. We volunteers choose which questions we want to answer (questions are not answered in chronological order).

Question 4

i have a question about pregnancies and youth. i would like to go further into detail if i get a response.

Accepted Answer

Further detail: You will need to go into further detail if you need an answer: I suggest provide some  limited medical background and ask your question(s) as concisely as you can. Good wishes.

Question 5

in response to my previous question, to get 25-50 billion probiotic, is it ok to take more than the 2 recommended capsules of probiotic 11?

Accepted Answer

Probiotics: are best taken 30 minutes prior to a meal or with a meal that has some fat content.  Peace and good health. Dr. Ohira brand is a good one.  No need to change them unless they are not helpful to you.  Look for multiple strains in the product rather than the amount of each strain.

Question 6

i am trying to delete the question because i never got any response. so wanted to update the question to nothing. my bloodwork was done again and it came back normal. so everything is ok?

Accepted Answer

Excellent !: Glad to hear your bloodwork came back normal.

Question 7

if i post a question and get a response from doctor wanting more info how do i respond to that dr?

Accepted Answer

Send a thanks note: Thank you notes from people asking the questions are sent to the responding physician in a notification section, and many people free text notes onto them.  The physician can then place an additional comment at the bottom of his or her original answer.  There may be other ways, but I am not aware of them!

Question 8

which otc anti-diarrheal medicine is the fastest acting? i asked before but the response didn't answer the question.

Accepted Answer

Not answer you want: "Plugging up" diarrhea will not cure an infection, fix an inflammatory process, improve an ischemic gut, or correct a functional issue. Medical evaluation is recommended appropriate to the duration of your symptoms, associations (bleeding, weight loss, pain, vomiting), as well as your other medical co-morbidities. Call your doctor please &amp; get checked.Fast relief from OTC agent does not mean cure.

Question 9

i asked a question earlier today and as of yet has not received any kind of response. why? about my arm being swollen

Accepted Answer

We : We answer questions as best we can when we have the time, and when we feel we have something helpful to offer.

Sometimes, there is just not enough information to give a meaningful answer, and sometimes there is a whole story, but no question!

i don't know what your original question is, but many of us only check the first page or two of questions, answer what we can, and continue on with our busy lives.

I would suggest you repost your question, and if, in a day or two you find you're still not getting an answer, post it again.  Make sure your question is clear, and give us as much information as you can to help us figure out the best way to answer you.

It's not personal.  How can it be personal if we don't know who any of you are?

Repost, if you will...
