Dear Pharmacist,
I use hydrocortisone cream for my bug bites. It works, but is there something else to manage this or the pain and itch? Me and my kids get bit frequently and I don't like the idea of 'taking a bath' in chemical creams.
Dear Pharmacist,
I see a naturopathic doctor for chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. She recommended coffee enemas. Suzy, I'm a faithful reader, do you think this is safe?
Dear Pharmacist,
I met you at a book-signing and you said something that stuck. You told me that if I have allergies, fatigue and multiple chemical sensitivities that I may have a "methylation" difficulty. You also told me not to take Green Coffee Bean extract. Can you please tell me more?
Dear Pharmacist,
I take a reflux medication daily as well as a chewable antacid. In the last 2 months, I've dealt with severe "Charlie horses," toe tingling and occasional heartbeat skips or runs. My doctor prescribed leg cramp medication and referred me to a cardiologist. I know you're a columnist, but I intuitively feel you can help me. I've been fine for 8 months.
Dear Pharmacist,
I have Hashimoto's thyroid disease, and my husband has Grave's. We are a perfect match because he makes too much and I make too little. Advice?
Dear Pharmacist,
I have osteoarthritis and take ibuprofen and hydrocodone. Glucosamine helps, but even after 6 months, I'm still stiff and riddled with pain. What else can I do?
Dear Pharmacist,
I read your article on Bartonella, and how pets can indirectly give it to you. What other diseases do pets transmit? Are there antibiotics?
Dear Pharmacist,
Please help me and my daughter. I have hot flashes, what is the best herbal supplement to help with that? Are there any home remedies for UTIs (urinary tract infections), and finally, what can my daughter do for bloating during her monthly cycle? I've heard that drinking more water (not less) helps, but that seems opposite of common sense.
Dear Pharmacist,
What do you recommend for strains, sprains and spasms? I'm an athlete and have something happens all the time!
Dear Pharmacist,
On facebook, you said people catch Lyme disease from their pets, which tote ticks. That's how I got Lyme, and I have Bartonella too. I found out because of you, and it explained my symptoms of joint pain, confusion, memory loss and seizures. I owe my life to you! I love you, don't take that the wrong way.
Dear Pharmacist,
Do you agree with Angelina Jolie's decision to remove her breasts to prevent cancer?
Dear Pharmacist,
After years of hiking without many problems, I began experiencing pain near my ankle and heel. My doctor diagnosed "Achilles tendonitis" and prescribed medicine which did reduce pain and swelling. I'm still worried I'll not be able to hike again. What natural remedies keep this at bay?
Dear Pharmacist,
I've had migraine headaches for 11 years and live on triptan drugs and ibuprofen. There must be something else I can do. Please lend some sensible "Suzy" insight, I'm desperate.
Dear Pharmacist,
I can't sleep well and have taken Ambien for years. What else do you recommend?
Dear Pharmacist,
I'm concerned about my bone density because I was told I have osteopenia. Are all calcium supplements the same? Do you have other recommendations?
Dear Pharmacist,
Your post on rheumatoid arthritis and autoimmune disease intrigued me. I didn't realize eating beans, peanuts, peas, lentils, soy or tofu was an issue. I eat these foods frequently, and I still hurt. Can you tell me more?
Dear Pharmacist,
I live in chronic pain, no one is sure why. I take hydrocodone and ibuprofen daily but I'm still in pain. Can you recommend any vitamins to help me?
Dear Pharmacist,
I keep stopping my blood pressure medications because of side effects, mainly fatigue, dizziness and leg cramps! Please help me solve this or recommend different medicine?
Dear Pharmacist,
I've had a couple of years of bad insomnia. I've tried medications, but I want something natural. Suggestions?
Dear Pharmacist,
I heard you recommend a drug called Lactulose as a laxative but you said it helped with brain fog too. How can it work at both ends?
