About Ask Suz
Expertise
I can answer questions regarding helping or curing various diseases and ailments as well as make suggestions on what not to do and give my opinion on what traditional medicine says on the subject given. I believe we need doctors for certain problems such as broken bones but I personally have rarely seen a doctor in over ten years. I take over ten supplements per day at age sixty-two. I will do my best to assist in anything from minor infections to major disease but will readily admit when I cannot offer someone any help. I have discovered a fairly novel approach to weightloss in which I have lost ten pounds.

Experience
I have been helping heal myself, friends and family for ten years and have studied alternative medicine for fifteen years beginning in approximately 1991.

Education/Credentials
AA degree Psychology, minor in nursing

PLEASE HELP!!!

Answer
Hi Christina,
You ask me "can these all be side effects to the medicine." Prescription drugs have a lot of side effects but I don't know what ones you're taking.
This is complex and I'm really not qualified to diagnose but I will tell you that hair loss and reflux can often be due to high levels of stress. I know because I had the same things years ago. If you "think" you may be getting a yeast infection this is not related to your other symptoms. You either Are getting one or you have discomfort from too much sugar. When I itch from that all I do is take one capsule of grapeFRUIT seed extract. The dark urine is pretty common. You could have a kidney infection or more than likely you think you're drinking more water than you really are and need more.
Again, I am not a pharmacist, drugs have a package insert that give you the side effects and I don't know what drugs you're taking. I have a feeling you're under an immense amount of stress and have been for awhile. How to handle stress depends on the situations involved. Mine lasted for three years and I lost a LOT of hair but it's all grown back now. Oh; the being cold all the time. This is a circulation problem. Do you sit around a lot? The only exercise we will do generally is what we love. You have to find something you love to do that gets your heartrate up and I guarantee you'll be warm then.
Please let me know how you're doing; I wish I could have helped more. Best of luck, Suz
