Going back to work question?
A) You are vaccinated 2/25 & should expect March to be much safer, than previously. B) consider wearing a large protective face shield. They allow for singing or eating. You may want to have them "available" for customers seated at tables near your section (or make it a menu item, for sale!). Perhaps it will start a trend at that restaurant! C) Consider is there a safer spot to sing? Does it make sense? D) Timing: If you start a bit later, & refrain from a break, would you be more comfortable with less 'exposure' (less moving around is less touching a source)? If you time one entrance & then close with the restaurant closing, are you able to reduce some guest interaction? E) Practice the elbow tap, or alternate "no contact with face or hands" acknowledgement, if you are comfortable. F) Double glove, take off the top glove if possible exposure of touching something. G) Keep your wipes & sanitizer handy & wipe down any mike or head set before use. H) Start on an OFF night, for a short session. You will probably figure out you can do a little & the full role from before is probably not needed as much now. I ) Practice your singing with a mask, in case the 'gut feeling' to protect yourself even further shows up. Perhaps there are certain songs you pull off a bit more confidently in that situation? Or sing your first song that way every night. J) Air purifiers come in small personal versions, get one for your "spot". READ MORE
Can you go to the ER for stress?
I think many ERs give out lots of stress, even before you see the bill. All joking aside, if you are gripped with a sudden FEAR of Impending Doom, then an Urgent Care or ER or a virtual Doctor Visit, may be the only immediate care options. If this "stress" is explained to your primary care, in a bit more detail, then you would be directed a bit more appropriately in the next step. It sounds like making an appointment with a Primary Care Doctor for within the month is a wise first step. READ MORE
Is drinking hot carob spoiling my keto diet?
It does not appear that the carob is an issue. The type of non dairy milk has a wide range of components. If it is not half a cup of milk, and it is something other than the hydrogenated fat of "non dairy creamers" then it is likely a soy milk or nut or pea or legume based milk. All of those are pretty good for you so just as long as "hydrogenated vegetable oil" is not your Non dairy milk. That would be less than ideal. READ MORE
My doctors can't find a diagnosis?
Consider Chagas disease, or Lyme's disease , if not previously excluded.. An internet available Video Doctor session with a Cardiologist & a Hematologist. A nutritionist may be helpful to consider how to manage the best diet in your current condition. READ MORE
Lymph nodes and medicine?
It is not usually wise to stop a daily ADHD medication , especially Ritalin. If you "miss days" then you may develop more & more problems from the confusion that occurs. Why not consider a nurse video chat or virtual session regarding your lymph node concern. Try to note the : when , where & what on a notepad, before the session so you have your answers at the ready, & can listen better. READ MORE

Question about research on wearing masks?
The source of the advice is always important to consider. The leader of quality advice regarding the pandemic is the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and if their advice had been followed a bit more, we would have more of our country alive, today. Their website should be on your laptop, tablet & phone & you would do will to study their information. It is sobering. READ MORE
Feeling sick after taking a supplement?
OK, that happens with some amino acids. It sounds uncomfortable, so before you get too used to it & start "having to have it to get through the day" reducing that supplement by half would be the first step, immediately stopping that supplement if you still felt 'energized'. The AA supplements can be very strong. If you let it wash out of your system, and take a copy of the label to your next doctor visit, you may obtain more feedback on the safety for you personally, and if to consider any further dosing of the supplement.

Dopamine issue?
Lets review, your mood became too low to just brush off 'the blues' and a single cup of coffee caused you to feel Much Much better? The regulation of mood is affected by A) how much sunlight we get B) our hormonal regulation C) our overall health D) any infection, chronic condition flare up or underlying health issue E) the health of our Mood Stabilizing function of our brain . Since you have had issues before & were back in a depressed place, I would consider it likely that you could benefit from your health care providers review or a mental health care providers review of your mood history & needs now. Virtual assistance is more available than ever. READ MORE
What does the following phrase in laymen's terms mean?
It is a lab test describing the process of testing as being a YES or NO to the presence of a new infection, and additionally a small amount of testing for how MUCH of the antigen is present (the bad guy bug). READ MORE
How did I get this and what do I need to do?
Warts are incredibly stubborn little things & the genital variety can come back after being removed. it sounds like your flat white version would have been easy to miss, & it is very definitely possible it has been around a very long time. The crucial part is to have total removal, & check up that it is still gone a year after it is "totally gone". The vaccine would be indicated also, there are many, many different variant types.

Levels of B21 and folate?
More importantly than the "level of B12" is the change, if any in the "large red blood cells". The 'sign of folate deficiency you were targeting was the large red blood cell, which is a very common finding in B12 deficiency. However, BMF (Bone Marrow Failure) & MDS (myelodysplastic syndrome) are also common causes, and there are quite a few more including lymphoid conditions or thyroid conditions. So, check your target sign "the Red Cell Volume" & follow up with your Health Care Provider. READ MORE
Flu recovery quandary?
Dear Flu in Recovery, Your body is working extra hard in a couple ways, from what you mentioned. Anytime you are ill with the type of symptoms you described, your body burns up more energy in the "metabolism" of food. Additionally, the amount of heat you have to put out will be greater if you are sweating often, as sweating causes the cooling of evaporation. You can't control when you are sweating, so you could become "super cooled by sweating when dealing with bitter winds". You also mentioned a severe cough, and that takes a toll on your energy and indicates your immune system would be "preoccupied", not as strong defending against new insults. So, get the cough checked out, even if by a telephone "zoom" appointment, to "lessen the strain" on your system. Ideally, the evaluation would include someone able to listen to your lungs. The sweats and cough are a potentially very unhealthy condition, even if you are not suffering much. Review your immunizations and Tb tine tests with your primary care. Follow up on suggested labs or studies. These are not the times to ignore those symptoms. An infection, cancer, and many different serious conditions start with a cough and sweats, then a gradual weight loss, and then you become too weak to get the needed care. Lots of fluids, and weigh yourself every week in the morning. Also, keep your vitamins pumped up since that is especially needed while you are in this state: vitamin C, iron, magnesium, zinc, vitamin D, and some form of tea, or chocolate or coffee, in moderation. If melatonin helps you sleep better, that is also a plus. Stay bundled up with layers, especially covering your head, and throat. Try to reduce temperature change stress on your body as much as possible until you are well. Be extra vigilant regarding Covid precautions and testing if you have not yet, for everyone's sake. Avoid all smoking whenever fighting these symptoms. If you are a smoker not yet ready to quit, give the lungs a break. Your lungs can't fight off the bad guys if they are "tarred and feathered". Cigarette smoke, pipe smoke, it all gums up the lungs and leaves the system more vulnerable. Let yourself heal. A novel Air Quality app on your smart phone or laptop can keep you alert to conditions when the fresher air might be inside. Stay safe, Be careful, and Speedy recovery. READ MORE
How should I sleep with a pinched nerve in my neck?
The means of greatest relief in positioning, tells you about your source of pain. I have greatest relief without any pillows, flat on my back, with bent knees. To get additional relief, I position my head off the edge of the bed about 2 inches, for about 20 minutes. This is basically the simplest "extension and traction" therapy for the neck. There are multiple devices that are complicated that provide "neck traction." Three traction devices include: anti-gravity chairs flexed backwards, boots to hang like a bat with your feet above your head, hanging from a rod, chin straps that attach to a pulley and a weight (bag of water commonly used over a door). But lying on a bed on your back is safer than the devices above. Lying on your side with bent knees is the classic "healthiest" position in general, for back issues. You would need the correct pillow and may not be able to tolerate the side sleeper position, if your injury prevents you from being comfortable on your side. Keep searching for results that help!
