How to effectively manage Cushing's syndrome with accompanying diabetes?

Hello doctor,

I am a 48-year-old female. I have been diagnosed with Cushing's syndrome and also have type 2 diabetes. My doctor recently prescribed Recorlev for my condition. I am curious to understand whether Recorlev is a better treatment option compared to surgery for managing Cushing's syndrome. Could you provide information about the effectiveness of Recorlev in controlling the symptoms of Cushing's syndrome, especially in cases like mine with accompanying diabetes?

Please help.

How to manage the symptoms of food poisoning at home?

Hello doctor,

I am a 37-year-old female. I am writing to you because I believe I may be experiencing symptoms of food poisoning, and I am seeking your professional advice on how to address this matter. I have been feeling nauseous and queasy, and the sensation seems to persist. I have vomited three times, and it has been accompanied by stomach cramps and discomfort. I have also experienced diarrhea, with watery or loose stools. Is it likely that my symptoms are indeed due to food poisoning, or could there be other potential causes that need to be considered? Are there any warning signs or red flags that I should watch out for a while managing food poisoning at home? How can I manage the symptoms of food poisoning at home? Are there specific dietary recommendations I should follow or over-the-counter medications I can take to alleviate discomfort?

Thank you.

What causes another bleeding after 15 days of the period?

Hello doctor,

I had my period last month. Then, 15 days later, I had another bleeding. It was really strong and acted like my normal period does, but it is pretty unusual for me to get my period that fast again. Now, 15 days later, I have bleeding again, but this time really weak with strong headaches, etc. Please help.
