Hi Doctors, I'm a 25yr old male. I have high myopia since I was a child (-10.75 on the right eye and -10.50 on the left eye). Over the years it has actually reduced to the above mentioned numbers. I am looking to get my eyes corrected as I was a more confident and comfortable lifestyle as opposed to always worrying about the spare glasses. Today I went to the eye doctor and got scans and tests done. I was hoping to get eligibility on the new RELex Smile procedure. The tests showed that I do have sufficient corean thickness but they would only rectify upto -8 which would still leave me with -2.75 and -2.50. They suggested an alternative ICAL procedure and I am satisfied about the fact that it is reversible. The doctor said it's a better way for me as a high myopic patient and also said that the other procedures basically involve removing or burning off corneal tissue from the eye. I was happy about it and I am looking forward to booking the surgery dates. Do you have any opinions?

Suffering from depression and overthinking due to breakup feeling cheated since almost a year now. Keep over analysing situations and know everything i am supposed to do but have my CA Final exams in few days so i just cannot enjoy freely since this whole year n now wen m alone studying i am not able to concentrate. Also what i read online and ppl suggest is not possible bec i dont have friends. The ones i have idk i dnt feel connected any more. I behave like i have all the answers to my questions but i dont implement and accept the fact n keep thinking and thinking for hopes and get stressed up. I dont love myself the way i look. Not able to accept reality. Lack of confidence. I have read Law of attraction and got so obsessed with it and astrology n stuff to make it work which gave me more stress. Like i am doing things which i know arent practical and myb superstitions but idk m jus doing it out of hope and get tired of no results. Feel tired and cluess of what i want.

21, Female, weight 49 Kg. I have excessive hair growth on upper lips and chin. Also I take Thyronorm tablets daily as I was diagnosed with hypothyroid 4 years ago. I am not overweight/ fat; in fact I have a great metabolism. My menstrual cycle used to be irregular for which I started taking medicines 6 months ago as advised by my doctor. I thought hirsutism will be dealt with automatically if my menstrual cycle becomes regular but hair growth hasn't reduced or lightened. I was hoping if you could you prescribe me some medicines to cure hirsutism. When i asked my doctor for meds specific to this problem, she gave me Cystelia M(by Jagonpal). Even after 3-4 months of taking these tablets, I haven't seen a minuscule of change. Frequent threading to get rid of facial hair(upper lips and neck) as they are embarrassing leaves marks and also they grow back within 3-4 days. Thanks

My daughter is 11 months old. From her birth, she has been on formula feed lactogen, as her mother was unable to breast feed. We started Cerelac and ragi pudding when she was 6 months old. Over the last week or so, she has completely avoided the spoon which is why we cant give her cerelac anymore. Also, she drinks very little lactogen, like 60-90 ml every 4 hours or so. We have tried boiled rice, mashed apple and banana etc but she takes in very very less of everything. She is active but we dont see any weight gain whatsoever. In fact we feel her weight has actually reduced. She was 3.6 kgs at birth and now around 8.5 kgs. Please suggest. Again i am not complaining about the weight, but why is it she has stopped both milk and solids? We are giving esomac 10 granules morning and carmicide afternoon and evening to rule out griping or colic pain.

I always have dark circles. Even as a kid. Of all the 'common factors that lead to dark circles', found across the internet and also popularly believed, none apply to me. I am never sleep deprived, always sleep at least 6 hours a day, or even more. I drink a lot of water, I am not underweight or anaemic, I do not have allergies or deficiencies. Even as a 5 year, I had them. Till very recently, I had perfect vision. Although couple of months ago, I started wearing myopic glasses for 0.5-0.5 in each eye. But I am sure it has nothing to do with my dark circles condition. I have spent a bomb visiting ophthalmologists, dermatologists, on expensive under eye creams and cosmetics. Nothing has worked. In fact, due to excessive (failed) treatments, (including home remedies), my under-eye skin has become very fragile, dry, and wrinkly. Doctors say that it might be due to 'Capillary Leakage'. I don't necessary need any more treatment, I only want to know if it is curable or should I give up?

I have been suffering from depression since childhood increasing only recently by stress from job, emotional isolation, parents' expectations and being put down by a lot of people, failing to read the so-called "signs" of life and being emotionally disconnected from everything that is happening around me which included missing my paternal uncle's funeral. What really snapped is when I missed his funeral and I was blamed and made to feel even more lonely and depressed in spite of not having interacted with him for most of my adult life and having being told by my mother and her sister especially that he didn't care about me which in fact was true. He didn't inquire when I was sick and pretty much didn't care about my existence except for a few times when I had lunch at his place because my mother bailed on my father and I for a few days. He really didn't care about me and now I have been blamed for not showing respect for attending his funeral. I've lost faith in my family and in life.

I was attacked with Limphadentis TB one and half years ago. Doctor suggested me medication for 9 months. In the middle of the medication suddenly I noticed that my right side of the body muscles were wasting with pain. It was present since one year. My right foot, leg jaw, thigh, waist, stomach, chest, neck, chin and jaw on right side are wasting gradually. I noticed clearly. I met several neurologist and they asked me to test MRI cirvical spine and Several X-Ray's Cirvucal spine. Such reports were clean and they suggested me some medicines. I used them for 4 months but no use. Even after I consulted some more doctors. They too tested MRI and X Ray's and they too said there no problem and no muscle wasting. My muscle wasting is minor and just started but muscle wasting is fact and true. Here doctors aren't believing my words and saying I have some physiological illusion. I am scared with my problem. I need to know which specialist shall I meet. Please suggest me solution.

I have dark patches in chin area and cheeks. I believe it started when I was in Bangalore where I was doing night shift and my skin got too much exposed to the very cold weather during winter. My skin got peeled after which I started noticing these dark patches on my face. Then, I moved to Chennai. People didn't notice these patches on my face since they appeared loo lightly. Then, over the past 3 months, the patches became too dark and so evident that it is the first thing that people talk to me about is about the dark patches. I visited a famous doctor with my mother's recommendation. She said she had watched him on TV shows. I met him and he prescribed me costly oinments and tablets. I used them for a month and a half; I did not see any improvement. In fact, people said it is becoming worse day by day. My skin looks very bad now. I need to get rid of these dark patches. What do I need to do? Please suggest.

I m into sales & mkt for last 15 yrs and often travels across south. I have a young daughter of 8 yrs and my wife is a home maker. Often arguments occur between us due to no personal time allocated since my work demands more than 12 hrs both office and home and many a time, i recv calls late evenings from customers which often irritate my wife as well my daughter and they often used to argue about, why I need to pick up calls post office hours and always pesters me not to use phone at home for office purpose once I reach home after 7 or 8pm but my work demands more hours and most of my time goes on phone both office and after home. I m aware abt the fact, i m not spending quality time with my family last many yrs and even if I took off for a family vacation or a short break, i was not able to avoid official calls during that time too which makes my wife furious and often shouts at me. I don't find a way to come out of this issue since I work for a service industry which demands time
