I am a 51-year-old woman past menopause, 60 lbs heavier than in my 30s, not sleeping well, taking 1 1/2 - 2 Ambien nightly, causing night eating and memory issues. I feel exhausted, foggy, and cranky. I had a sleep study suggesting sleep apnea and a stressful job with financial issues. What kind of doctor should I see and what treatments might help?

My 6-month-old daughter has been experiencing severe dry and itchy skin with a goosebump-like appearance for the past 3 months. She has seen a dermatologist who diagnosed her with chronic allergic dermatitis and prescribed antifungal medications, which did not help. Currently, I am using shea butter and olive oil for her skin. What could be causing this condition and how can it be effectively treated and prevented?

I have lost 35 lbs, am now extremely fatigued, my joints ache so much I can barely type or move. The worst are my hands and knees. My body aches like I have a fever but I don't. All of this has been going on for about 5-6 months, starting with the weight loss then progressing into further symptoms. My orthostatic hypotension is getting worse and I have fainted. My brain feels like it is in a constant blur, and I'm extremely frustrated because I don't have any answers. What could be causing these symptoms and what can I do to alleviate the pain and fatigue?

Hi, the last time I had my period there was spotting for about seven days, then it stopped and then spotting again for two days. Now my period is late for about 6 days - just kind of wondering about this?

During the night, my ears secrete oil and when I wake up, they are peeling or very chapped. I can pull the dead skin off. I lotion every morning and have tried hydrocortisone, vaseline, and other treatments. I think it might be related to the oil they produce at night. What could be causing this and what can I do about it?
