Question 1

good day

ive been using valsartan for hypertension reasons but had to stop because it causes me epididymitis, now i use  atorvastatin and its giving me vivid dreams. is there anything better i can use with less side effects ?

Accepted Answer

Medication : You can speak to a doctor about changing your medication. I remember and a patient who had 20 medications on her allergy list, but when you continue to ask her details about the side effects you come to realize she did not want any medication because she believed that all medication is bad for her.  Sometimes patients express concerns indirectly

Question 2

so she has been getting a steroid injection due to her hs ( hidradenitis suppurativa) is that injection for any chance going to give her any side affects of gaining weight and her period being delayed or any other side effects?

Accepted Answer

: This type of steroid treatment can give a patient an appetite increase. It is not the type of steroid that would interfere with menses. Long term side effects of steroids depend on dosing &amp; frequency and rarely are features of sporadic use.

Question 6

took statin drugs 9 years side effects made me stop the drug will the 9 years i was on statins be a credit when i get into my 70s and 80's?

Accepted Answer

Cholesterol karma: Lets start by saying statins simply control a risk factor (hypercholesterolemia). There is no evidence that they extend your life. The more important question would be, what are your current risk factors? Are you eating right? Exercising?  Whats your bmi. What's your blood pressure? What's your cholesterol now? Talk to your doc. They can assess your risks and set you on the right course if action.

Question 7

whats the difference between absorica ld and the other generic version of isotretinoin? is absorica ld more effective? does it have less side effects?

Accepted Answer

: In my opinion, all of these types of isotretinoin are similar enough to use interchangeably. See your dermatologist for the proper dosage and guidance.

Question 8

my gf just started bcp and is about a week in and having some side effects. she says shes fine, but i was wondering if there was anything i could do to help reduce the side effects because shes still getting use to it. what can i do?

Accepted Answer

: Please repost with some of the side effects you are referring to.

Question 9

jj, moderna or pfizer? whats your personal/professional opinion? which one has least side effects?

Accepted Answer

: JJ, Moderna and Pfizer all have significant benefit in protection against COVID.  Pfizer and Moderna require a second dose, and JJ does not.  The major benefit to encourage use of any of those vaccines is the significant reduction of hospitalization/death resulting from non-use, so any of the listed vaccines is recommended strongly.
