Hello, I suffer from hypothyroidism, PCO, and insulin resistance. I gained about 30 kilos in 2 years, tried various treatments like metformin, lthyroxine, and Saxenda without success. I'm considering fat removal surgery in October but am afraid it might return. I've been on a protein-rich diet and exercise for months with no weight change. What can I do to effectively manage my weight and health?

Is it safe to experience quick jolt of nervousness or excitement, such as being caught off guard and being scared or frightened for a moment, or feeling a burst of excitement in the body, if you have a healthy heart? Additionally, could experiencing a traumatic event, like the loss of a family member or a car accident, lead to a cardiac event if I were to have a panic attack during these times?

I am being evaluated for Crohn's disease due to a perianal fistula, which my colorectal specialist believes is a transsphincteric fistula. I have a history of IBS, recurrent MRSA infections, and a recent colonoscopy that showed no signs of Crohn's but did show hemorrhoids. I am scheduled for an MRE and MRI to further evaluate the fistula and potential small bowel involvement. I am seeking a second opinion on whether these symptoms and test results could indicate Crohn's disease, and if not, what other conditions could be causing my symptoms.

I cut my finger with a grinder today. I rinsed it with lukewarm water, let it bleed, applied Triple Ointment, and wrapped it with gauze. My wife advised keeping the wound dry, so we changed the bandage, but it started bleeding through the wrap and won't stop. Should I reapply the Triple Ointment?
