I'm noticing that my body always feels warm and seems to emit heat, even though I don't have a fever. My urine is also warm. This has been going on for quite a while. Any ideas on what might be causing this or how I can address it would be really appreciated. I've been diagnosed with low vitamin D and B12 levels and am currently taking supplements for those.
Your persistent bodily warmth, heat emission, and warm urine without fever could be related to various factors, including hyperthyroidism, hormonal imbalances, or increased metabolism, and it's good that you're addressing low vitamin D and B12 levels, but consider consulting an endocrinologist to rule out underlying conditions, and in the meantime, stay hydrated, avoid spicy foods, and dress comfortably to manage your body temperature.

I'm on day 13 after my IUI and have been taking progesterone. I've had headaches, leg and back pain, and sometimes my mouth waters or I feel aches like when my period is about to start. I havent taken a pregnancy test yet because my period isn't due for another four days. Can you advise me on what might be going on?
Chicken is a moderate-purine food, which means it can contribute to uric acid production in the body. However, the impact is relatively mild compared to high-purine foods like organ meats, seafood, and beer. To put things into perspective: - 3 ounces (85g) of cooked chicken contain about 150-200 mg of purines. - The recommended daily purine intake for individuals with gout or high uric acid is around 100-150 mg. If you're concerned about uric acid, consider these tips: 1. *Moderation is key*: Enjoy chicken in moderation (1-2 servings a week). 2. *Balance your diet*: Pair chicken with low-purine foods like vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy. 3. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to help flush out uric acid. You don't necessarily need to stop eating chicken entirely, Manas. Just be mindful of your overall diet and purine intake.
