When she leaves she says

Yesterday I was at work, sitting at my desk looking at my computer screen. I started to notice black splotches appearing in my vision, similar to what I have seen in the past when I have stood up too fast. I have never experienced this sitting down before but I wasn't alarmed and figured I'd wait it

Hello all, I'm looking for advice/insight into my medical history. I'm a 38 year-old man, diagnosed with Autoimmune Hemolytic in Jan 2018. Since then I've relapsed twice, with the least severe episode being the last in OCT 2020. The first and last episodes were treated with oral corticosteroids, an

This is too much isn't it? I need advice!  I'm unsure which of my doctors can help me and hoping someone here can tell me which doctor to talk to, what questions to ask, and what I might be overlooking or misinterpreting. I live in East Texas. My husband has great health insurance, but we have v

I’m still dealing with intense itching, burning anytime my body gets the slightest bit warm.

40 Years old here, been dealing with this for 20+ years in varying degrees. Mine is always itching (intense itching), not pain (unless I scratch too hard), and usually there's actually no redness. My experience began halfway through freshman year of college - I was at a basketball game with friends

I’m looking for anyone’s experiences on Nemluvio please, good or bad. I’m in the UK (so under treatment of NHS where the medication is very new), and have been on Nemo for 12 weeks now, yet have seen my skin deteriorating massively since starting the medication (for reference I have previously been

Has anyone used Dupixent? If so, what is your experience? I just read an article about a newly released drug - Dupixent - which is specifically designed to stop eczema itching. I dont know but I think this may be the first drug to specifically stop eczema itching. Ive known of other injectables in t
