marijuana will only stunt ur emotional/intellectual development and not cure you of any other symptoms--just temporarily cover them up while damaging your brain cells.

My bro started smoking pot at age 13 & now he's a 50 yo man with the mind/emotional maturity of a 13 yo. no wife, no money, no kids, just lives minute to minute stoned.

are you eating gluten-free? if so for how long? The pain may eventually subside. It often does.If you can't sleep get a sleep study done . They will determine why you can't sleep (if its physical like apnea) How is ur mattress?--perhaps its not right for you & you may need a new one. For anxiety take yoga, & learn how to relax, exercise helps too--swimming, aerobics, weightlifting, dancing, whatever you like. Perhaps some short term counseling for your anxiety will help you learn to solve problems rather than getting anxious & fearful about them.

You see there are many ways to deal with what you are going thru in a constructive positive way rather than being stoned on pot.--legally or not.

Please get the proper help that you need--I assure you medical marijuana is not the answer.

That is something you should talk to your doctor about. It could be helpful for some issues but it does have drawbacks when abused. Celiac is one of the diseases that it is approved for in some states. Your doctor will be able to tell you if it could be useful or suitable for you.

      Hi. So sorry to hear about your shingles. There is a lidocaine cream that you can get at Walmart that will help numb the pain.  That's what I used for mine. It can't be put near your eyes or in your ears. I hope your doctor gave you valacyclovir which is an antiviral.  It does lessen the symptoms. If it is in your eyes,  see an ophthalmologist.  They have an antiviral eye drop that can be prescribed.  Shingles in the eye could cause blindness.  I was unsure whether you have celiac or not.  If you do,  follow the diet.  I believe that extra stress on your body does affect everything. Shingles can recur. If you start getting the warning signs of nerves tingling,  see the dr and start taking the valacyclovir to prevent a breakout. If I sound technical,  I am a retired pharmacist.

      You are right to be proactive, as research does indicate that individuals with celiac disease can have a higher predisposition to enamel defects, cavities, and periodontal issues, even with excellent oral hygiene. While many people with celiac successfully undergo orthodontic treatment without complication, your caution is valid. It may be beneficial to seek a consultation with an orthodontist who is familiar with managing patients with autoimmune conditions or who is willing to collaborate with your daughter's gastroenterologist or a periodontist. They can perform a thorough assessment of her current oral health, discuss your specific concerns about recession and decay, and create a tailored hygiene plan. This second opinion could provide a clearer risk-benefit analysis, helping you decide if addressing the cosmetic concern of the lower teeth is worth the potential risks for your daughter, especially if they are not currently affecting function or her confidence.

      It's strange because I'm pretty sure not too long ago I picked up a loaf of bread with B vitamins, but I can't find a single one now.  Probably cutbacks, everyone's trying to save money now!
    • Scott Adams
      Eating grains typically depletes certain B vitamins, so I'm not sure why they decided to fortify with calcium and iron, but hopefully we'll see more B vitamin fortification in gluten-free products going forward.
