Question 1

my neighbors say my new doctor tends to overdiagnose everyone. he thinks i might have carsickness. can you tell me the symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Try mag and B-comple: Carsickness is a form of vertigo/disequilibrium.  I've had much success with treating this with magnesium (up to 600mg twice daily--ask your doc first if you have kidney disease), and a b-complex vitamin.  I'm always looking to find the root cause of symptoms (e., g. Vitamin deficiency) instead of band-aiding symptoms with prescription drugs.  Give it a shot!

Question 4

my neighbors say my new doctor tends to overdiagnose everyone. he thinks i might have epidermal cyst. can you tell me the symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Cyst: Cysts generally are well-circumscribed.  Often they have an opening in the skin (called a punctum) from the skin pore it originated from.  They are benign but can get really inflamed if the cyst material leaches out into the surrounding skin.  Surgically removing them is the usual treatment but if one causes you no problems then they can be left alone.

Accepted Answer

Dental consultation: Consult with your dentist.  You need to possible get a tooth replacement in that area.  With a ten year lapse, teeth may have moved and possible orthodontic intervention may be helpful to realigh and create a space that would be the proper parameters for a dental implant.  Other options are also available, including fixed bridges and removable appliances.
