What are the effective treatment options for sleep apnea?

Hello doctor,

I have been a bit worried about my wife's sleep troubles. She has been dealing with this sleep disorder for about two years now, and it is starting to take a toll on her. We have tried a few things, including some sleep medicine, but it does not seem to be working as expected. At 48, she is otherwise healthy, so this whole situation is a bit puzzling. The doctor mentioned something about sleep apnea, but I am not sure what that really means. Can you help me understand what might be going on with her sleep? I was wondering if there are more effective treatments out there. Seeking your advice.

Can suddenly stopping steroids worsen the skin condition?

Hello doctor,

I am 32 years old, and I believe I have a severe case of steroid-damaged skin. I stopped using steroids some years ago; however, I still have severe hyperpigmentation, thin skin, and lines. I have tried various remedies, including chemical peels, moisturizers, cleansers, sunscreens, and Hydra facial treatments. I feel less than myself, and it has affected me over the years. I read on the internet that these damages are permanent. I wanted to get your opinion still.

Please suggest.

Thank you.

What is the best tablet for vitamin B12 deficiency?

Hi doctor,

I am 21 years old male. My weight is 231.48 Ibs, and my height is 6'3". I have done a blood test recently, and I have a B12 of 156 pg/mL. My nail (light black with dark longitudinal lines) looks darker than usual. My doctor suggests me an injection therapy. But I am willing to have some tablets. Please say your kind opinion.
