Good morning I find all doctors say sleep is very important but all my friends in their 80s have to go to the bathroom 3 to 4 times a night! We are told not to drink water or liquids after supper but to drink lots of water, so you don't dehydrate! Seniors have no idea what to do about all kinds of incontinence. CAN YOU DO A VIDEO ON SENIOR INCONTINENCE both kinds? THANKS AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

[@DaniCal1forn1a]

You popped up on my feed and I've been watching loads of your videos this morning - they're so good and informative! 😊 It's also nice how validating and realistic you are unlike how some Drs can be 😫. It would be awesome if you could cover the intersection of pain and neurodivergency because they have quite an overlap! I'm ADHD, and since getting diagnosed and going on the right medication, my chronic pain has improved significantly! Being more aware of my body but not being distracted by the pain is so good, and the meds help me remember to move and not stay in one position too long because of hyperfocus (which makes me so stiff!) I think the calming effect the meds have on me helps with the pain too, it gets noticeably worse during times of high anxiety and stress, and having more brain space and better executive function means I experience less stress and anxiety overall. I'm also pretty certain I'm autistic and I know that can affect chronic pain conditions and pain perception for various reasons like sensory sensitivities, generally higher cognitive load, stress and anxiety from trying to fit in a neurotypical society etc. Just a thought! 😊

[@DrAndreaFurlan]

Thank you for the suggestion Dani. I'm glad you found the informaiton useful.

Moja Pani Doktor. Dziękuję za to, że jesteś tak blisko z dobrą poradą bo tylko tego mi brakowało. Z daleka przybasz Pani Doktor do mego domu i umysłu. Mam skierowanie do Poradni bólu, ale chyba brakuje mi wiary w zdolności lekarzy. Zaufany lekarz to brzmi dumnie. Tylko jest zawsze jakieś ale. Wiara czyni CUDA. Pozostanę z Panią Doktor i poznam gdzie popełniłam błędy i gdzie zawiniłam. Nie palę i nie piję alkoholu mi szkodzi, ale biernym palaczem jestem bo znajomi palą i niestety nie dbają o nas nie palących, a tym samym rezygnujemy z przyjaźni i rodziny. Samotność, porzucenie, wyzysk, osamotnienie, Oszustwo=BÓL trudno to wyleczyć. Przebaczyć można zapomnieć trudno. Pozdrawiam serdecznie z Polski

[@lauraschroeder8177]

If you are a doctor give your advice! You seem to answer many comments with "talk to your doctor". Most doctors don't know the information you know. That's why people have to travel to Mayo or Standford. Even then, their doctors won't help. It's expensive and time consuming. You can help! ❤️

[@DrAndreaFurlan]

Hi Laura, I'm glad you noticed that. It means that I am doing the right thing. There might be other "doctors" on social media who would give all kinds of advice to patients that they don't know, and even worse, charge them for that unprofessional advice. I don't do that. I don't give medical advice without knowing the patient. In my pain clinic I spend at least 60 minutes (on average 90 minutes) taking a medical history and examining the patient. Then, my medical reports are about 4 to 6 pages long. It would be impossible to do this here. When I read the posts i feel sorry for the person, as I know they are truly suffering and I know the scarcity of physicians who understand chronic pain. I have a project in Canada where we are training primary care providers to learn about chronic pain. We already trained more than 600 professionals in Ontario. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I hope you understand my position and the reason why I'm not giving medical advice when people post their symptoms here.

[@lauraschroeder8177]

I had horrific pain in my pelvis area that went to chronic pain. It has gotten a lot better by the right medication (Lyrica, Naltrexone and antidepressants), MOVEMENT and mind body techniques: prayer, meditation and hypnosis (KZbin: Micheal Sealey before bed). You can retrain your mind away from pain by moving. Start slow. Everyday you can challenge your body. You will gain confidence as your body moves. Your pain will go down with the increase of circulation. Good supplements are magnesium, fish oil, vitamin D and B12. I eat spicy foods that contain capsicum.

all the information that is mentioned in this video does not address the financial ability to healthy living. Diet all the foods are extremely expensive. Massage and Acupuncture are huge expenses. Just hearing about all that you have to offer (which I have been aware of before youtube) does not factor in the finances of a healthy living. It seems like no health professional ever talks about the white elephant in the room. Money. I myself can afford healthy foods because it is just me. I do not have a family. The price of food has risen to all-time highs since covid. When is anyone going to address the real problem?
