Question 2

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Maybe: It is a supplement native to india and parts of africa. It can lower blood sugar and interact with other medicines that do to. Even if you take it alone you should be under the care of a doctor and be monitoring your blood sugars due to its ability to lower them. Be sure you know the signs of a low blood sugar reaction.

Question 4

what is the general consensus on adding gymnema sylvestre to my daily regimen? will it have a positive effect on my partially controlled diabetes?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: There is some evidence that gymnema may help in type 2 diabetes by increasing Insulin secretion by the pancreas and stimulating insulin-dependent metabolism. As with all medications for your diabetes, monitor your blood sugar carefully to avoid hypoglycemia (which is possible on gymnema as well) and inform your doctor so he/she can help with your treatment accordingly.

Question 5

can i get a prescription for nazene z without going to a doctor?

Accepted Answer

OTC drug: The components of this nasal spray are available with no prescription in the US. Whether or not this is the same in your country is not something we would know, This site does not offer prescriptions.

Question 6

i and my boyfriend were having sort of dry sex,i was wearing thin clothes but he was completely nude.he then ejaculated somewhere between my anus and vagina (it was our first time).will i get pregnant?

Accepted Answer

In real life...: Sperm do not swim through clothing in real life, so keeping the clothes on is good contraception. Wearing jeans with a tight button fly, that are really tough to unbutton, and a tight waist to stop hands from slipping through, is good contraception. Of course, a sure way to prevent pregnancy is to never be alone with men (safer to be in a cafe, a library, among friends or family).

Question 7

i and my boyfriend were having sort of dry sex,i was wearing thin clothes and my sanitary pads as i was on my periods,but he was completely nude.he then ejaculated somewhere between my anus and vagina (it was our first time).will i get pregnant?

Accepted Answer

No: Pregnancy is not possible in above circumstances. Contraception remains otherwise key in avoiding undesired pregnancy and associated anxiety.

Question 8

right occipital node swollen and tender. no fever. was on antibiotics in january for same node.meds worked, chest xray came back normal in february.

Accepted Answer

Below: I would suggest going back to the DR who saw you in Jan.

You may need additional antibiotics, or if the node does not go away--a BX may be necessary.

Question 9

6yr old having random pains under right rib,and looks like neck lymph node.he gets random pains in his joints,always gassy.food sensitivity?any ideas?

Accepted Answer

Abdominal hernia?: Wonder if he has an abdominal hernia causing intermittent pain. As for the gas, the first thing comes to mind is lactose intolerance esp if he is black or Asian. However there are many potential causes including food sensitivity.

Question 10

hi doctor
ive battled with a blocked nose for a very long time now, i constantly use nazene about 3-4 times a day to be able to breathe properly. i also battle with constant headaches at the front of my head and also pain behind the eyes. ?

Accepted Answer

Blocked nose:  You may have a blockage inside your nose causing the problem  such as a deviated septum.  You need to see an ENT specialist to have your nose evaluated.  The Nazene will only help temporarily and long term use should be avoided.
