– QUESTIONS IN THE MEDICINE CABINET from; Dr. Lindsey, Dr. Brian, the news, Internet and Joey Pals in the “Medicine Cabinet”.
1. What is Bells Palsey? (A weakness on 1 side of your face. Looks like a stroke, but the Doctor can tell the difference. Most cases resolve. Maybe require drugs. Can have ear and jaw pain. Not life-threatening. Might cause permanent eye damage.)
2. Will Metformin battle Covid? (Metformin is used primarily to treat diabetes. Those folks on Metformin were less likely to get Long Covid and found a reduction up to 40% in the small study.)
3. Is Syphilis increasing? Is there some national program to treat it? (Yes, is rising across the U.S. Cases have doubled in Riverside County between 2017 and 2021. Greatest increases in women. Therefore babies born w/ Syphilis or stillborn. Initial infection is a canker sore anywhere. There is primary Syphilis and secondary Syphilis. If not treated it is deadly, but that takes years.)
