Hi Dr Glidden, I have lateral epicondylitis from doing reverse grip pull-ups. I stopped working out for 3 months. It never completely healed. When I rotate my wrist or lift a jug sometimes I get a mild pain right inside elbow. Best Regards Chris

Hello, this is Gracie from Chicago. I have a problem when I take the psillium husk powder with one cup of organic apple juice and one cup of water right before bedtime. It makes me get up more times to pee versus if I don’t. could it be taken at any other time of the day instead of right before bedtime?
I have a large bakers cyst under my right knee. Both legs are tight below knees and knees are sore/swollen

Betsy Asks: Do floaters, bags under the eyes and foggy thinking share poor circulation to the head as a common factor?

Good morning Dr Glidden, Jose in California after the ischemic stroke I developed a sharp cramp like pain on my left arm between my shoulder and elbow. Sometimes it happens randomly and I don't have flexibility with my arm I can't do the same as my right arm. When I try to lift an object I feel the pain more. It feels better when I am not applying any pressure. I also had blood work and hepatitis b surface ab was abnormal a low reading of 5. And they ordered cologuard for colon cancer screening is this necessary. Any recommendations on these. Thank you
I went to a functional medicine doctor several times this year. She put me on low-dose Naltrexone for a long-standing muscle problem (40 years) brought on by a neck injury which was misdiagnosed for 7 months. Back in 1986 I woke up with a104 degree temp and veritigo and could barely hold up my head. Long story short I had rotated my fifth cervical bone. A family doctor did neck X-rays and told me there was nothing wrong. After 7 months, I went to a chiropractor and got that diagnosis. Many years of chiropractic care improved the immediate neck problem, but I have had a longstanding muscle problem when confronted with any chill in the air. I get stiff, headachy, and my eyes dry up and I collect fluid under my eyes. The naltrexone has helped mildly. I know it's just a band-aid. Any long-term suggestions? Thank you.

Dr G, I ordered the ceanothus americanus 12 c. It will take a few days to get to me. In the mean time what supplements can I try. The heaviness continues in the lower left side of my abdomen.. Worst when I drink . Dont know if it has to do with my intestines. When I twist my body it aches. Feels like the are is distended, Im doubling up on my BTT2.5 and z radical and fucoid z. Also im taking enzymes with every meal. My bowels are moving and I do get an ease after I have a BM. Thanks for your help.

MerryB, Apache Junction, AZ - Since it's a light day I have a share with our Glidden campus. I was in North Dakota last month and was surprised at the tick infestation. It's too hot here in the Valley for ticks so I'm not going to complain about the 100 plus temperatures any more. After doing some research, i found out more than I really wanted to know about these nasty little parasites! There are 80 species recognized in the United States and they are in every state except Alaska. They carry different diseases, not just Lyme disease. Gliddenites who live in tick infested regions likely know these things, but for anyone not familiar and traveling to these areas, this PSA from the Arizona Hobbit may be helpful. My daughter found Sawyer's products which hunters use. They are DEET free and come in clothing spray and lotions.Very effective repellent for ticks, mosquitoes and horseflies. The Amish have found cedar wood mulch and oil kill ticks. They layer the mulch around the edges of their lawns and make cedar oil products to spray on themselves. Amazon has the spray available.

Hi Dr. Glidden! you always say providing you with a diagnosis helps you to give us your advice. My 78 yr old husband developed swelling in his left foot last Sunday. The swelling was so painful he had difficulty walking. In the previous week he had been doing vigorous yard work and cleaning out our attic by climbing up and down a ladder approximately 30 times. We decided to visit our allopathic physician to rule out insect bite, fracture, some kind of strained tendon/ligament or infection. As soon as the MD saw my husband's swollen left foot the MD mentioned Gout, with concern for high uric acid. My husband has a history of gout 6 years ago. The MD did a thorough hands on evaluation of the foot and lower leg. Then he ordered an x-ray of the foot, predisone 20 mg for 7 daysBlood testsResults of the xray results showed signs of arthritisBlood test showed Uric Acid level as 7.6 mg/dl, normal is 4.8 to 8,7 CRP was 6,2 mg/dL, normal is 0-.9Sed Rate. 46 mm/hr Normal 0-20What would you advise? Does he have Gout? Thanks !!

These medications I am taking atorvastin, tamsulosin, aspirin might be related to my pain.

Dr. G - I'm 41, and I go to the gym twice a week. I've noticed lately after workouts that I'll soon after get a headache. I used to lift a bit heavier but have since lightened that, and that seemed to help a bit, but I still often get the headaches. Any suggestions on how to minimize/alleviate this? Thank you!
Note - I do take the 90 EN, and very rarely have gluten

This is Janis from NC. I gave my 3 grandchildren Equisetum Hyemale 30c, 1 tablet each night for 5 nights, for bedding wetting. No change except for the 13 year old. She is not wetting every night. The other 2 are ages 9 and 11. We think they wet early morning.

Greetings Doc; Paul fm Fredericksburg here... I just lost my eldest sister (in Michigan) just after her 76th birthday on 26 June. While I know she is with the Lord, my grief is unusual, in that it leaves me without stamina to an extreme. I am your age, and I feel blessed to be well otherwise. Any thoughts on something that may help, are greatly appreciated. Thank you for all you do.

I am on the essential 90 and started taking more Osteo FX. I started rebounding again this week and I woke up last night with leg cramps. I exercise on a regular basis. I have not rebounded for a few years until this week.
