hello,

You can consult me privately on lybrate ..as full and detailed case history is required here..
Sexual issues can be treated with homeopathy..depending upon the severity of the case Hello, you can take homoeopathic medicine Glow care drops (Lord's) ( 10 drops in little water) thrice a day for a week and revert. 
Follow the tips

2. Avoid touching your face with your hands as this germs to your facial [skin](https://www.lybrate.com/medicine/zole-skin-ointment), making it to breakouts. 
3. Ensure that you drink10-12 glasses of water daily. 
4. Avoid fried and spicy food. 
5.Include fruits, raw vegetables and fresh vegetable juices in your [diet](https://www.lybrate.com/treatment-for-healthy-diet). 
6.Avoid harsh skin products. I think many of us have to depend more on observation and self-study than on diagnoses, given the expense of testing and the ugly fact that nothing short of an autopsy can give certainty. Here’s how we are coping with that uncertainty. Before my Mom came to live with us, she had fallen at night going toward the bathroom in her apartment. It was 3 days before anyone found her, and there was severe dehydration and some brain damage due to oxygen starvation. She recovered some functioning in rehab, but we had also noticed before the fall that there were more and more signs of cognitive decline. We were warned by a friend who is a geriatric psychologist to not accept the overall “Alzheimer’s” diagnosis which was bound to occur, but to be aware that there were dozens of dementias, some of which needed very different approaches from what is advised for Alzheimer’s. After she got out of rehab she went through a very bad AL situation and into a very good one. She had a GP who made housecalls but was not that knowledgeable about dementia. She had begun describing what could only be hallucinations and agitation, so her doctor put her on an anti-psychotic, an anti-anxiety and a depression medication. Wow! What a mess! Mom had rarely even taken an aspirin before that so maybe her body was super-responsive to the invaders. Anyway, it did more damage than good, and once we eliminated the meds, she slept all the time. We decided to move her in with us and her new doctor prescribed Namenda. We started with 10 mg, which was too much and increased her agitation. We cut back to 5 mg. once a day at nighttime and it was like a miracle occurred! Now don’t get me wrong, there’s still dementia and it’s still advancing. But my point is that sometimes when you don’t have a diagnosis, it’s useful to read up on the various kinds of dementias, do a checklist of the symptoms to determine which is the best match to the behaviors you are seeing, then become knowledgeable about the various RX’s physicians are likely to try, and get very good at monitoring the response to each and asking about/suggesting others you’ve read about. (I know, you thought that was what doctors did — me, too! Wrong!). I found that as long as I behaved as a fairly well-informed and non-judgmental problem-solving partner (and not as an over-protective, aggressive, critical, and sometimes hysterical relative), I got the same treatment back from the doctors. (Of course, if I did not get that, I did not hesitate to find a doctor with an attitude that worked better for us.). Over time, the troubles with balance, the hallucinations that occur immediately if she misses a dose of Namenda, the depth perception, the amount of activity and conversation that goes on while she’s “sleeping”, the extreme variability from “almost normal” to “almost unable to function”, etc. convinced me it is LBD. It’s not a formal diagnosis because we can’t afford all that testing either. But it’s enough for me to protect her from getting inappropriate medications. While there may come a time to move her to a memory care unit, I will also be able to be proactive with staff about what works with her LBD that is probably vastly different from what works with some of their ALZ patients. Summary: observe, study, and use your best and most loving judgment, with or without a diagnosis. Respect but don’t worship the doctors who are trying to help. And trust your gut. You spend more time with your LO than anyone else and your observations are valuable. generally, medical treatments for multiple sclerosis, a condition that requires lifelong care, are hellaciously expensive. this is true despite introductions of generic versions, and average u.s. retail prices are usually in the thousands of dollars. medication in the u.s. is always expensive, but ms medications are in another realm entirely, up there with treatments for cancer and rheumatoid arthritis. a 2020 study published by the american academy of neurology found that medicaid spending on … it depends on several factors.
what medication one is on (some meds counteract or greatly diminish the effects of lsd).
whether or not one has taken any substances that shows cross tolerance with lsd (psilocin mushrooms, mdma, some "research chemicals") recently, usually within the past three days. this will diminish the effects.
if the substance taken is in fact lsd, some other substance or nothing psychoactive at all.
the amount of lsd (concentration and how much it has degraded).
if the lsd is taken with chlorinated water (chlorine is pretty good at quickly degrading lsd).
for ones first time with this substance, it is of vital importance for there to be a "trip sitter" present, someone who has information about how to "sit for a tripper", and that the users state of mind is such to facilitate a good experience, as well as the setting that the trip is to be taken in.
in such a case, it may be prudent that if one does wish to have such an experience, that one is informed as to how powerful such an altered state of perception can be. 

lsd can last up to 12 hrs, although the majority of effects usually only last 6 - 9 hrs. for first time use, if one has no or little experience with strong hallucinogens, it would be better possibly to take just 1/4 - 1/2 of a hit and not re-dose, regardless of how one may feel, for at least 3 -5 days after.
then, if one is comfortable with the experience, dependant on how comfortable, then raise the dose by up to double.

i can't find the exact source right now, but psychologists found that 1 microgram per kg of body weight was sufficient in most patients to elicit a hallucinatory response.
in some patients, especially those with alcoholism, (something like) 2 - 4 micrograms per kg of body weight was needed.
in clinical settings, the starting dose was usually 25 micrograms, never normally rising above 200 micrograms once the 'right' dosage was found.

here is some good information on lsd use:

please note that i do not participate in, passively nor actively, not advocate any illegal activities. i was officially diagnosed when i was 11/12 but had been experiencing pain and flares since i was quite young about 5/6. doctors initially wrote it off as "growing pains" or symptoms from high/low blood sugars (diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when i was 9) but went for more extensive testing out of town at a children's hospital where it was later discovered i have juvenile onset inflammatory arthritis (later ra) and a condition where the ligament's/muscles on the insides of my knees are very weak (can't think of the name right now.) and you are quite right, this journey we all deal with is a long and tiring one, but remembering to stay positive, do what you can when you can, to rest when you need to, and to have support whether through family/friends or sites like this we can all come out saying we got this! xo Hi Nur,



  

Thank you for asking HealthReplies.com.











Maybe you mean TB lymphadenitis (tuberculosis).



  

Mycobacterium tuberculosis can indeed infect a variety of organ systems, including the lymph nodes. These bacteria usually enter through the respiratory tract, especially in people who come in close contact with other TB sufferers, children, the elderly, and people with poor immune system. Under normal conditions, this lymph node functions as a haven and proliferation of white blood cells in warding off infections, including TB infection. However, along with its development, this lymph node itself can actually become infected, so that arises lymphadenitis. Clinically, TB lymphadenitis sufferers will experience lumps (often in the neck, armpits, or groin) that are round, smooth, springy, and often feel painful, especially when pressed. Not only that, TB lymphadenitis can also make sufferers experience fever, excessive sweating, weight gain is difficult to rise, weakness, fatigue, and various other complaints.



  

Handling TB lymphadenitis is done by giving OAT (anti-TB drugs) that must be consumed by sufferers for at least 6 consecutive months. Every month, the patient will be re-evaluated by a doctor to assess his responsiveness to the treatment given. After more than 2 months of treatment, complaints will generally improve slowly.



  

However, you need to know, that the treatment of TB lymphadenitis must also be accompanied by appropriate natural treatments, including those related to diet, regulation of activities, and also lifestyle modification. This inadequate treatment is likely to make your mother appear to be undergoing improvement despite long-term treatment. It could also, the slow healing process occurs due to the non-optimal resistance of your mother's body, resistance (immunity) of bacteria to the treatment given, as well as a variety of other factors. Compared with other complaints. lumps in lymph nodes due to TB lymphadenitis often will indeed not disappear completely, even though the patient's status has recovered from illness.



  

The itching that your mother is experiencing right now could be a side effect of the OAT she is taking. It could also, this itching occurs due to other reasons, for example allergies, skin irritation, infections, disorders of liver function, disorders of the thyroid gland, dry skin, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and so on.



  

Our advice, you check your mother back to the doctor or a specialist in internal medicine in order to get the right treatment. Meanwhile, at home, help your mother do the following steps:







Take OAT as recommended by your doctor  

Give your mother healthy and nutritious food, containing rich calories and protein  

Give him too much to drink  

Let your mother take a break from exhausting activities  

Accompany him to exercise  

Create a clean, well-ventilated and well-lit environment  

If you or someone else around your mother shows symptoms of TB infection, see your doctor directly to treat them properly
