DEAR HARRIETTE: I am 22 years old.
Dear Doctors: My 11-year-old son was diagnosed with sudden sensorineural hearing loss. He’s been treated with steroids and 10 HBOT sessions, with a small increase in hearing. I’m struggling to find any information regarding HBOT for children. Is there literature or experience in similar cases?
My husband, Peter, and I have landed in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and already the strange seems familiar again.
DEAR HARRIETTE: I recently lost a significant amount of weight, and it has been a journey to adjust to a different lifestyle. The majority of my clothes don’t fit me properly, my curves aren’t as curvy as they used to be and many people feel it is OK to comment on my new body. I never hated my body no matter the size, but it has been difficult to learn how to maintain my new shape without being scared I will gain the weight back at the end of the next meal.
President Trump rallied “stop the steal” as he protested – frequently but falsely – that the 2020 election had been rigged against him. Now that slogan is relevant again – but for two totally different reasons.
Dear Doctors: How often are multiple sclerosis (MS) and Type 1 diabetes seen in one individual? In my experience, MS specialists are not familiar with how to treat flares in people with both. I have been advised to get IV steroids to manage a flare, which would have spiked glucose. I find this lack of experience to be frightening.
Nearly a month into his second year in office, President Trump’s Cabinet has been remarkably stable. No Cabinet member has quit, been fired, pushed out or otherwise left the building. The question is whether that is a good thing. A president does not want to let his political enemies hound his top Cabinet officials out of office. On the other hand, by the end of an administration’s first year, it’s usually clear that one, or two or more of the president’s Cabinet just aren’t working out. That is the issue confronting Trump today.
DEAR HARRIETTE: My husband claims that he supports my career as a lawyer in big law; however, he gets irritated when I work late. He says he feels like I don't have time for him and that I always put my job first over everything. I work extremely long hours, sometimes staying at the office past 9 or 10 p.m., and occasionally I even have to log back on once I get home.
There are few things as daunting as buying jeans.
DEAR HARRIETTE: My friend and I have been talking for a month now about booking a summer vacation together to Greece. I recently brought it up again, and she said that she can’t go anymore because she booked a different vacation with a different friend. She didn’t mention it beforehand or talk to me about possibly changing plans. She just said it was cheaper and easier to coordinate.
