Question

I've been dealing with chronic asthma for about 20 years now, and for the past decade, formonide 200 Novocart has been my go-to medication. Lately, I've been having trouble finding it in stores. Could you recommend an equivalent medicine I could switch to? I'm really concerned about managing my symptoms effectively.

Question

My husband has been dealing with sarcoidosis for about a year and a half now, and he was on methylpred for a year. He's asymptomatic at the moment, but I'm really curious about how we can tell if the disease is still present or if it's gone into remission. Can a chest X-ray reveal if the disease is still there, or would it show enlarged lymph nodes and other markers even when he's in remission? How can I tell if he's recovering early on?

Question

I'm really worried because I tested IGG positive in July and had an unknown fever in June. Now I'm experiencing a burning sensation in my chest and stomach, and sometimes it's a bit hard to breathe. I also feel dizzy all day and can't seem to have a restful night's sleep. I read somewhere that people could have lung issues after having COVID. Can you please advise on what might be going on?

Question

I've been dealing with breathing issues and intense itching all over my body for the past three years. I've been taking Fix AR tablets and using rotacap, as prescribed by Dr. Bapat, but I'm still not getting much relief. Is there something else I should be trying, or could there be an underlying cause that we're missing? It's been really frustrating, and I'm just not sure what to do next. Can you help?
