Dear Doctor Dawn, You recently prescribed a Lady with mild anti depressants for IBS having suffered for over 20 years myself I wonder if you could tell me the name of the medication allowing me to consult with my own Doctor many thanks Ian.
Im 18 and have always suffered from stress, when I was doing my GCSE’s I lost so much weight and looked really unhealthy, as I got older I just started fainting. Recently ive been fainting a lot and its impossible for me to sleep, also I start to shake uncontrollably, and is impossible for me to do anything as I shake so bad, I also get really cold and shiver and usually my hands and lips also go numb. I have passed out and fitted before as well but blood test proved there was nothing wrong, stress makes everything worse but is stress the reason this is happening or is it a much more serous problem ?

Hiya Doctor. I'm 17 years old and have been bothered all through puberty by very long dark blonde hairs on my arms, chest, stomach and back. I don't mind the hairs on my arms, but the other areas make me very self concourse and I don't really like wearing swimwear or any clothing that shows off my tummy or chest just in case someone notices the hairs. I don't want to shave or wax because I'm concerned they'll come back worse. Any advice? Thank you.
