Hi, I don't think that there is a contraindication if you take both but I'd check the dosing. You can't cut a slice of butter with a sledgehammer. It is depends what you are trying to attack. Famcyclovir for HSV1 and 2 is fine. It will possibly slow EBV but won't stop it. If its just EBV you are dea...

Hi, Famciclovir breaks down into penciclovir in the body. In this form it has a higher intracellular concentration than acyclovir achieves but it doesn’t cause chain termination. Acyclovir and Valacyclovir result in chain termination. It's Chain termination that you want. A woman called Gertrude Eli...

Hi Glenn, I also feel you might be jumping the gun. The simple answer is to take your daughter to a sports medicine doctor. What you've described, so far, sounds like a sensory issue so it make sense to see if a subtle motor issue is involved. You won't find the answer anywhere on the internet. Some...

Hi,

I had that bug many years ago. What you describe reminds me of it. The test is simple.
When you throw up, if it has a lot a bile I'd really do the test.

Hi Chris,

Have you been tested for heliobacter Pylori?
Do you think you're more likely to be ill given certain circumstances or is it totally random?
What makes you think vertigo is part of it?
Did it start as something that occassionally happened or is it a sudden massive onslaught?

Hi, I'm 62 so I am outside the group you have specifically asked. How you described the frequency and nature of your interactions with doctors did disturb me. The impression I have is you have been given a superficial level of treatment and then been thrown in the "too hard" basket. Whilst many of u...

I used to get massive leg cramps below the knee for a long time. Then I stumbled on something called Periformis syndrome. Essentially, the periformis muscle squeezes the sciatic nerve and the spasm rips down the leg. Lying on your hip or buttock whilst sleeping will trigger it. It took a couple of g...

Hi, I read your general reply and can see it must be very difficult for you. To be treated the way you have described by the people you are relying on is,simply, not fair. You need. at least, an MRI of the spine and another of the brain with contrast. If it is at all possible, I think you should cha...

Hi, I'm a bit late joining this conversation. Do you know what sort of MRI you had? Was it just the brain or was it the spine as well? Did they inject you with a contrast when they they did the MRI? It does sound like you need to consult a completely unrelated neurologist to the one you are relying ...

Hi,

There are two types. One relates to the kidney and the other the hypothalamus. It sounds like you've got nothing to loose by testing for both.https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/diabetes- ... diagnosis/

Hi,

Did you check out diabetes insipidous? Its completely different from the normal type we think of.

Hi, As you haven't been diagnosed yet, we are really jumping the gun. Nonetheless, if you have have tightness in the arm muscles and we assume a diagnosis is confirmed, the simplest way to look at why you've tightened is to imagine you have only two motor neurons. The first one runs from way up in y...

Hi, I'm not sure why you have that diagnosis but a couple of questions immediately came to mind. Is your gait altered (e.g can you walk normally or climb a set of stairs)? How far can you walk? Does one foot drag? Do you think one side of your pelvis is higher than the other? Are you slightly stoope...

Hi, The EMA (European equivalent of the FDA) has just recommended that Gilenya elevates the risk of congenital deformities to the heart, kidney, bone and muscles in utero. It recommends it is not suitable for pregnant women or women not using birth control . Their view is it doubles the risk compare...

Hi,

Have you gone to a doctor yet and told him what you have told us? I really urge you to do this.
