I'm a bit worried because I've been on Cyproheptadine and Dexamethasone to help with weight gain, but every time I stop taking them, I start losing weight and my appetite just drops. I'm not sure what to do about it. Do you have any suggestions for how I can manage this?

Air Crack in Left Hand: POP vs. Roll Bandage
Present Treatment
- Plaster of Paris (POP) bandage: Currently, you have a POP bandage to immobilize the affected area.
- Roll bandage: You're considering switching to a roll bandage for support.
Recommendations
- Consult your doctor: Before making any changes, consult your doctor to determine the best course of treatment.
- POP bandage benefits: POP bandages provide excellent immobilization, which is crucial for proper healing.
- Roll bandage limitations: Roll bandages may not provide sufficient support or immobilization for an air crack.
When to Consider a Roll Bandage
- Doctor's advice: If your doctor recommends switching to a roll bandage, it's likely because the initial healing process is complete.
- Pain management: If you're experiencing minimal pain, a roll bandage might be sufficient for support.
Next Steps
- Schedule a follow-up appointment: Consult your doctor to assess the healing progress and determine the best course of treatment.

View allI've been diagnosed with multi nodular goiter benign enlarged thyroid lobes with multiple solid and cystic nodules. The report mentions hypo to isoechoic nodules of varying sizes and some cystic changes, but no calcification or abnormal vascularity. The largest nodule on the right is 1.5x1.4 cm, and the left lobe has a large cystic component measuring 1.9x1.5 cm with internal fine echoes. No significant lymph nodes or issues with parotids or carotids were noted. Should I consider surgery for this or is monitoring enough?
Most benign goiters are monitored with annual ultrasound and thyroid function tests. Surgery is only needed if there are compressive symptoms, cosmetic concerns, or malignancy suspicion.
