@@shereeevelina1943 very true. I always address my wife as sweetheart, dear, my love, etc as well as our daughters at all times. I hardly ever call them by their government names. I address other men as sir typically older folk as they’ve earned and I too also address women I’m unfamiliar with as ma’am. It’s funny because if you open a door for a woman these days you sometimes get the stink eye as if to say “I don’t need your chauvinistic brute strength to open a door for me. I can do it myself.” Yet if I fail to open a door they say chivalry is dead. Glad my wife is old fashioned like me. It’s one of the many reasons I married her.

@@bfettrules1239 Your wife sounds like a lucky lady! I'm surprised anyone would begrudge someone holding a door for them. Ridiculous. I'm female, and I hold the door for anyone. It's just polite, and it would be rude not to. We taught our sons very early to do it as well. They would get the cutest reactions when, as little boys, they would hold doors open for women. The crummy thing I've noticed is that the older I get, the more often men don't hold the door for me. Now that's just messed up.

The same clinic I have begged other drs, including rheumatologists, to refer me to for over 15 years. Not ashamed to say I cried. Please please keep advocating for yourself x

I have that issue now.. It's been 20yrs and doctors still don't know what is wrong with me.. I just all of a sudden in 2002 I get horrible muscle spasms in my mid to low back.

I told my GP about it, and that neurologist was removed. I switched insurance plans, got into a different medical system, where they confirmed the diagnosis (cluster head pain, aka Horton's Neuralgic Cephalgia, that has no cure), and I now receive over 30 Botox injections all over my head and neck every 3 months. I have a life now!

My dad is a 100% disabled vet who is a desert storm vet. He has a laundry list of medical conditions and I've spent a large part of my life after his medical discharge with him in VA hospitals. Seeing this man's story really hits me. People who gave so much of their life to a cause they believed in should not have to suffer so much after they can no longer serve- and yet him, my father, and so many other vets live with these sorts of long lasting and painful realities.

[@freedomwriter1995]

They now know that "gulf war illness" as well as other illnesses troops developed after desert storm was caused by exposure to non lethal traces of sarin gas as well as other chemicals and substances used during the conflict. Even if it dissipated the traces still caused severe medical conditions.

[@freedomwriter1995]

They also found that the pyridostigmine bromide, used to help protect troops from the chemical weapons and pesticides, also contributed to gulf war illness and its severity long term.

[@freedomwriter1995]

It's no different than what happened to Vietnam veterans and civilians who were exposed to agent orange. They seemed fine initially and then suffered a slew of illnesses years later. You would have thought they would have taken that horrific lesson and used it to prevent something similar to those who were serving in desert storm.

I think you need to rewatch and listen what the doctor says. She was delicate with her words so maybe you missed it.

@@Perfeccionista89 I'm not sure what you mean. The way I understand it is this: He's been having this issue and tried getting help for it for years. It got so bad he wasn't able to walk anymore which added a host of other health issues that in turn probably aggravated this situation with his skin. At the end, all it took was someone to look at him, take some time to explain to him how he can take better care of his condition and it vastly improved. How can any society excuse that this man has not seen a doctor that could to that for him? He absolutely needlessly suffered for years. The American healthcare and VA system is absolutely atrocious.

[@solsummer5140]

@Perfeccionista She mentioned a few reasons why it could occur. Lack of proper hygiene was one of them but after checking his skin under the microscope that option was discarded. Hyperketatosis in an actual skin condition and it takes more than cleaning yourself vigorously to manage it. Treatments often include AHA, BHA and/or retinoids in order to chemically exfoliate the skin.

[@FinickyFelix]

God the saddest thing for me is that none of the other medical professionals he saw seem to have even offered basic help like this before? Literally just 'lets see what happens when we try keep the skin moist'. This man has lived in pain for years and a way to at least help a bit was so simple.

[@7even171]

Truly how the VA system works. I speak from experience that by the time you undergo double sessions of all sorts of radioactive machines and begin to glow, one may not get a diagnosis at the end. I've heard the word "anomaly " so many times it's ridiculous. But go out of the system for outside help and immediately recieve a diagnosis that makes sense. For yrs many vets can be made to feel crippled in their infirmity. How can so many doctors not know the simplist of treatments or thoroughly research complicated issues, rather many times they resort to pump you with all sort of pills and see which one sticks.. as gineapigs. Why so many vets are also struggling with opioid addiction 😔

What a wonderful gentleman, with a lovely family. I’m so happy he’s turned a corner and enjoying his life once more. He definitely deserves it. Well done Dr Lee and your awesome team x

[@babylele.l2962]

I really love this doctor , she is so sweet to all her patients and she seems to care so much and it melts my heart , I love this .

[@DelicateInferno]

I've watched SO many of her videos, and this is the first one that made me cry. Such a sweet, respectful man!! Thank you, Dr Lee, for helping this beautiful soul!

[@kmitchell8323]

Man this made me ball when he said I can walk without my cane... His spirit is so bright now. Dr Lee is such a blessing

[@HellenaHanbasquet]

Sweet Jesus. I was a nurse on a regional burn unit. Seeing this man peel his own skin off made me physically reel back. His condition hurts my heart and soul. I would bet money his catalyst was being over in Kuwait, and had he been recieved better instruction early on, it would have healed properly. But I think Dr. Lee is right, other underlying issues caused it to get crazy out of hand. I hope he can continue to treat it at home and he will look like a million bucks for his 80th birthday ❤️

[@pugwash84]

when he said he could walk without his cane now !!! so many tears

[@dawnmazarati3301]

I can see the HANDSOME young man in the photos in this older Man's face. Crazy how time flies, and how life can go to hell for some people. Thank you for your service, Sir...I hope your life has gotten better.

His pain is palpable🙁Hoping that he's able to continue to find relief. & thank you Sir for your service ♡NAVY♡

[@JVanProduction]

What a sweetheart! ❤️I’m so happy that she was able to help him. I can’t imagine how uncomfortable that would be. I think we forget how important our skin is to our health.

[@tamarakonczal6350]

She is THE BEST! I don't watch her because of the gross out. I watch because she is one of the most kind, funny, generous person. I LOVE the dignity she gives her patients. If only all doctors were like her. And God bless this gent.

My dad would get along with this guy so much. He’s 71 and was in the Army right outta high school as well. He got lucky ended up in Germany instead of Vietnam. He’s got end stage liver disease right now coming close to his last days. I’m taking care of him and love him to pieces.

Thank God for Drs.that know what to look for.

[@loubaxter5633]

This is so sad as a veteran we should be able to get care for this if we’ve served!!!

[@jonburrows2684]

We're all so blessed if we don't have these kinds of skin disorders. Sometimes I think I've got it bad until I see things like this. My heart goes out to them all.

[@CO2isfake]

It’s weird how men don’t moisturize their skin. My brother couldn’t figure out why his skin was itchy and scaly. I tossed him my Advanced Therapy Lubriderm and insisted he put it on. He was amazed 🤷🏻‍♀️ and went out and bought a few bottles.

[@suzannesenser607]

Oh, this sweet man! My heart goes out to him. So happy to see Dr. Lee could help him!

[@ssjess2504]

Him crying in happiness at the end tore at my heart. Such a sweet elderly man ❤️🙏

[@ottelisezipporah-isadora8070]

My heart warmed at his progress. I could feel how grateful and happy he was, to have seen the improvement. Both he and his grandson. I wish him many more years of walking around and happiness with his family.

[@jacquelyndaniel7135]

He is such a gentleman. He said yes ma'am so much and was just so kind. I really hope he is living the happiest life he can live.

I love this man. He’s so adorable and kind I started crying when he was thanking her and crying cause he can finally walk without his cane. I honestly just wanna give him a big hug !

He's such a sweet person! So happy Dr.Lee that you were able to give him some relief!

[@amberlynnrn9343]

I watch a lot of Dr. Lee's videos and am amazed by the changes in people but this transformation brought me to tears. I'm so happy for him and hope his recovery continues to go well.

[@shirleyfriend6529]

Aww bless his heart im so glad Dr. Lee had some kind of relief for him. That look so uncomfortable until Dr. Lee told and showed him what to do. Thanks Dr. Lee!!🙂❤

[@patriciasilvia1552]

Oh what a sweet man who serves for others and is afflicted with this terrible condition. Love to his son for helping your Dad. ❤️

When you bring a Veteran to tears of joy, you’re a literal angel.

[@happybunny1976]

He is the sweetest old man. Bless him. So gentle and kind.

[@sammyx2113]

She's the absolute best Dr Lee. Always makes her patient's feel comfortable and genuinely cares for every single one of them. Love her🥰😍💯

[@MizzzKitty]

Lots of warm baths and moisturizer!!! Damn, I don't know why no one told him that before. At least he's feeling better now... I hope him all the best and Thank you sir for your service!

[@Evettecord]

Right? That’s what I was thinking, a hot bath with some kind of shay butter or olive oil and a little exfoliation and he’ll be fine but the Vaseline is good too

[@MizzzKitty]

@@Evettecord Exactly! Poor dude...

[@jojohogg8770]

Its not that simple my son has a genetic form of ichthyosis and its a lot of work to keep it under control. Different emollients applied every couple of hours. multiple baths a day, painful exfoliation and bandages changes. Here in this video you have a professional dermatologist and even she didn't know what it was. Added to the fact that treatments vary greatly from person to person. It's a full time job managing ichthyosis.

[@melissahyland457]

Doctor Lee,your apparent empathy and kindness have brought me to tears !!!❤️

[@lesliespiers8407]

what a sweet humble man....so heart felt

[@chelsietorres3833]

Bless you Dr Lee and thank you for helping this beautiful man. You have really helped to change his life so he can enjoy the rest of it! Thank you for both of your services! ❤

[@laceywoodward6026]

What an incredible man, bless him and his service!

[@nessie6899]

The fact that the answer was so simple and yet no other doctor has thought to even mention it is so upsetting. He could’ve been recovering so much sooner if a doctor so much as gave him the time of day. Thank you dr lee

[@riverlife2379]

I KEPT TRYING to TELL HIM VASELINE VASELINE VASELINE THE OIL MOISTURIZING GREASE WOULD HEAL HIS FEET LEGS AND FACE SORES...ALSO GAUZE PADS DAILY DAY AND NITE BY 6 MONTHS HE WOULD KNOW AND SEE THE DIFFERENCES...JB.OK

[@nikkilynn559]

My god!! This one got me right in my feels. I am so glad he got help. He deserves a life full of good health and lots of love.

[@thewomynwhowrites5310]

The first thing I thought of when I saw this was vaseline! I'm so glad that she was able to help. He looks so much more improved. It's sad that after all this time he wasn't given a proper solution on how to take care of it and also that it build up to that extent. Some proper foot hygiene earlier on in his condition may have helped.

[@christineoster8331]

I believe that he has a fungal infection that has run rampant throughout his entire body. It especially shows up in the toenails. This along with the moisturizing treatments will help to restore more health to him. It was does not surprise me that he and others were exposed to toxic chemicals. Perhaps even a fast and cleanse will help heal also.

[@sicooper4230]

trouble with vaseline is it's paraffin based and on open wounds it can start a really painful chain.
