    To Your Good Health: Loss of taste and smell persist in man after a car accident (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    DEAR DR. ROACH: My 82-year-old husband is unable to smell or taste. This has been the case since 2024, when he was hit by a car while out for a walk. He sustained a compression fracture to his spine. While he wasn’t knocked out, he did get thrown backward and sustained some trauma to his head. Since then, he’s had no sense of smell or taste. I see him drifting further and further into depression, and I believe it’s primarily because he no longer has the pleasure that is associated with tas

    To Your Good Health: Man gets diagnosed with extremely rare form of finger cancer (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    DEAR DR. ROACH: Do you know anything about aggressive digital papillary adenocarcinoma? My 39-year-old nephew was just diagnosed, and his parents are searching for answers. He’s getting scans to determine whether they should amputate his finger. As far as we know, it hasn’t metastasized. — A.M. ANSWER: No, I’d never heard of this condition. It’s extremely rare (1 in 10 million people). “Adenocarcinoma,” by definition, is cancer of the glandular tissue, and there isn’t really much

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    DEAR DR. ROACH: I understand a vaccine to prevent Lyme disease is in the works, but I wonder when it’ll be available. We’ve had multiple tick bites in our family, with some that resulted in Lyme disease. While I appreciate that our dog receives a vaccine and monthly anti-tick prevention, we’re long overdue for prevention for humans. Your thoughts are appreciated. — K.L. ANSWER: Lyme disease is caused by a bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi, which is spread mostly by deer ticks in the U

    To Your Good Health: RA patient hasn't found a medication that alleviates joint pain (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    DEAR DR. ROACH: I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but my rheumatologist hasn't been helpful in finding a medication that I'm not allergic to for alleviating joint pain. (I seem to be allergic to most meds that I've tried.) I'm only 68. I saw the term "biological" medication for RA in one of your recent columns. What is this, and do you have any advice? - B.R. ANSWER: RA is an autoimmune disease that may affect other organs besides the joints, including the heart and lungs. While in

    Weakness persists after gallbladder removal (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I have a friend who had gallstones and ultimately had her gallbladder removed. When they went in, they saw lots of infections, cleaned her out and put drains in her liver. She's been feeling awful and weak, and she wants to get a second opinion. Which type of specialist should she see? -- D.L.G. Treatment for a complex problem like hers often takes a team of specialists -- in this case, certainly a surgeon and very likely a gastroenterologist and an infectious disease specialist. The ideal perso
