The rest of the family has started throwing up, so at least he’s stable
I'm 17 and my mom is 43. She's not obese or diabetic and is only a little overweight, but she recently lost a lot from not eating enough. She has dangerously low vitamin D levels and for some reason got Ozempic before getting her vitamin D. She works as a charge nurse so I think she convinced a do

Hi. Sorry I'd usually ask my doctor but I'm abroad. I'm M26, white and 175lbs. I have neck and upper back pain with spasms for which I'm under care for by a pain specialist. He's prescribed baclofen and will probably inject botox at my next visit. I'm on holiday and the pain got much worse. So I we
Could someone please advice me. My parents are on holiday in Kenya and communication is sporadic at best. She called us yesterday morning sounding disorientated, she kept saying she is not able to speak English anymore (even though she was speaking English fine) . She kept asking for me even though
