I've noticed that whenever I'm near an AC or when the weather gets cold, my hands and feet turn icy really fast. They get so chilly that other people comment on how cold they feel when I touch them. But when the weather is normal and there's no AC, everything seems fine. I'm curious about what could be causing this.

While in the vicinity of AC or cold weather, your hands and feet getting cold quickly could be due to a condition called Raynaud's disease. Raynaud's disease is a condition that causes some areas of the body, such as fingers and toes, to feel numb and cold in response to cold temperatures or stress. In such cases, it is recommended to keep your hands and feet warm by wearing gloves and socks, and avoiding exposure to cold temperatures. In severe cases, medications like nifedipine or amlodipine can be prescribed to help dilate blood vessels and improve circulation.

I'm a 50-year-old woman and recently had a blood check-up done. My ESR came back at 60mm, but everything else like renal function, urine routine, and blood tests are normal, and I don't have any other health issues. I'm curious about what could be causing the high ESR. Can you help me understand why it might be elevated?
ESR, or erythrocyte sedimentation rate, is a non-specific marker of inflammation in the body. In your case, since other parameters like renal function, urine routine, and blood counts are normal, a high ESR could be due to various reasons such as infection, inflammation, autoimmune disorders, or certain cancers. Since you have no other health problems or illnesses, it would be advisable to further investigate the underlying cause of the high ESR. I would recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and possibly additional tests to determine the exact cause of the elevated ESR. Treatment would depend on the underlying condition identified.

My mom is 48 and has been dealing with RA for 17 years, mostly on allopathic meds like DMARDS and Methotrexate. In 2015, she got diagnosed with ILD and was treated with Cyclophosphamide at AIIMS. Recently, she developed Avascular necrosis in both hips (stage 2 and 3) from long-term steroid use and had core decompression surgery. Now her doctors want to stop steroids and switch to Rituximab IV. Is there any Ayurvedic treatment that can completely cure these conditions? If yes, how long would the treatment take and what would it involve?
for P/E ORTHO specialist opinion is advised to the patient.
