I'm trying to figure out what's best for my dad who's been dealing with Type 2 diabetes for about 20 years now. We found these ayurvedic tablets, IME9 and BGR34, made by Indian Labs, and are wondering which one might be better. My dad's on insulin and had bypass surgery 8 years ago. Any advice on whether either of these tablets could be helpful?

View allI've been dealing with some health issues lately and I'm really worried. I've been masturbating for 56 years, but now I feel super weak, and it feels like things get worse whenever I do it. I'm experiencing weakness, hair fall, joint pains, and sometimes I feel so weak that I can't even lift anything or walk properly. I've tried ayurvedic treatments and seen many general physicians, but nothing seems to help. They all say it's not because of masturbation, but I can't help but notice my symptoms worsen afterwards. I've had tests like uric acid, vitamin D, calcium, and vitamin B12 done, and everything came back normal. I'm not sure what to do next.
take protein rich food and avoid to much masturbation

I'm a bit worried about how long my immune system might stay suppressed after taking steroids. I am prediabetic, and I'm on steroids for a condition, but I'm not taking any additional medication for sugar control. Right now, I'm on Metformin 500mg to help avoid any steroid-induced diabetes from my post-covid treatment. I took Methylprednisolone: 16mg for 5 days, 8mg for the next 5 days, and then 4mg for another 5 days. The last steroid dose was on May 5th, and I tested positive for covid on April 13th. It's been about 21 days since I tested negative for covid. How long can I expect my immune system to be affected?
The immune system suppression caused by steroids can last for several months after stopping the medication. In your case, having taken Methylprednisolone for 15 days, with the last dose on May 5th, your immune system may take around 6-12 months to fully recover. However, this timeframe can vary depending on individual factors, such as the dose and duration of steroid use, as well as your overall health.
