• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Doctor Michael Cobble is with us. Morning. Doctor Cobble, Good morning.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: We're talking about we were just talking about fluoride, taking
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: it out of the water, and now Healthing Human Services
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: is not going to even let you have the option
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: of having fluoride in supplements or in toothpaste.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know.
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, of healthcare, Yeah exactly. I just you don't know
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: what to say to this ridiculousness.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: It just doesn't make it. It makes no sense. Yeah,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't get it.
• 0:31
  Speaker 5: I have a question not about floride, doctor Cobble. My
• 0:36
  Speaker 5: daughter is supposed to be having surgery tomorrow on her sinuses. Oh,
• 0:42
  Speaker 5: but she has a cold. Oh, and we're going to
• 0:46
  Speaker 5: have her like preop appointment today. But I'm wondering what
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: the odds are that they're going to tell us they
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: won't do the surgery if she has a cold.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: If she's not running a fever, sheep product can still
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: have it. Oh yeah, I mean if it's just a
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: running nose stuff, I don't think they're gonna worry about
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: that too much.
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: That's good news because she has she has planned her
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: summer life around having this surgery tomorrow.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: And if we had to move it. It was gonna
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: just well, she won't be able to get any swimming.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Do you think she has a cold or do
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: you think it's just allergies because the allergies have been
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: terrible in the last three weeks.
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: Well, on the same question, I guess they wouldn't postpone
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: surgery for allergies.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: No, you wouldn't be able to do any surgery.
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: In Utah ever.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, thank you.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Uh what so what what are they Why do you
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: have to have surgery on your sinuses?
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: I mean that's all I mean kind of Yeah, they're
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: not They're just going to go in and open them up.
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: She just gets constant sinus infections and they just need
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: to go in and rotor rooter it out again.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, that would be fun for you. Eight seven seven
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: six oh two nine six nine six. Or you can
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: text questions for doctor Cobble. See do we have any texts?
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: We got a text question here. Let's see, my girlfriend
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: and I both have rashes that started on our ribs
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: and inner arm and has spread to most of our bodies.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: She went to the doctor was told that it must
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: is most likely shingles. Damn this text program and it's
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: most likely shingles. Is it possible for this to spread
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: from one person to another? I think it's from pulling
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: weeds over the weekend. It must be some kind of
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: poison ivy.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds more likely, uh contact, dermot had us
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: of some kind from pollen or plants products. But shingles
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: is always one side of the body. It's not contagious
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: by topical contact. And so I think it fits, you know,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: in our arms and ribs on both sides to the body,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: and you both have it. It's from pollen or fertilizer.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: It's something you came into contact out working in the yard.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: And your best option to treat that would be, you know,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: calamine lotion, loatres, you know, cortison lotion, benadryl, those types
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: of things.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Okay, eight seven seven six. Here's another text question. Any
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: recommendations for plant or fasciitis. Tried socks, shoes, braces, wraps,
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: rolling balls, soaking, et cetera. Tried all those things, and
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: apparently it's not helping.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, nonstroidal anti inflammatories are helpful. Physical therapy
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: is amazing, and then typically ice in the evening and
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: heat in the morning and probably wearing a ninety degree
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: ankle brace at night, so you're keeping that foot of
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: the ninety degree.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I've had that, and then.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that would help. But if it's therapists could direct
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: all of that and would resolve it probably in three
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: to six weeks.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: All right, here's another text question as far as eating
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: disorders are concerned.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Let's see binge eatings of food addictions seems.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: To be overlooked, and nobody takes me seriously when I
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: tried to talk about it. Besides counseling and therapy, what
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: are other treatment options?
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's hard because eating disorders are typically in the
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: spectrum of psychiatric illness and all addiction disorders are. And
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: by that I mean typically it's great to have cognitive
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: behavioral therapy and counseling and supportive structures in place, but
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: typically those people are going to need some kind of
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: antidepressant or antiolytic or mood stabilizer, some kind of medication
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: that's going to help the part of the brain that
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: has been conditioned and to be addicted to some kind
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: of product. And people with eating disorders typically have a
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: body distortion disorder, so they in some regard they see
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: themselves differently, and you know, they might be ninety pounds
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: and think they're three hundred pounds, and so again. It's
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: it's a central nervous system disorder, and typically some kind
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: of psychiatry medication or psychiatry help is remarkably important.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: All right, perfect plantar fasciitis does it's awful. I had
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: it for a while and it just got it hurts.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Tammy first.
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: Hi, guys, listen, I've had a pain on the left
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: side of my groin off and on for about a month,
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: and I'm wondering if it may involve a limp node
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: and if it's worth going to the urgent characcause, my guy,
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: no visits are so far out it's ridiculous.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean, I don't think it's unreasonable to
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: go to urgent. Karen, you have them check it out,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: but I yea, you know, there's so many different things
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: that could be down there. It's I think it's been
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: a month. I have somebody to look at it.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he said it's been a month. Tammy.
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah, awes and on is it?
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Is it swollen or just I can't tell.
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: I don't think it's swollen.
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: It can't hurt to get it checked.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a good idea.
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: Okay, thanks, thank you, thank you, I will thank.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: You's a nice our nicest listener, Tamil.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I know you wanted to go into more detail there.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: Well eight seven seven six oh two nine six nine
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: six is the number to call.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Maggie.
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: Hi, Maggie, Hi there, thanks for letting me listen.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what's up?
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: So last night I talked funny because my lip is swollen.
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: But last night I went to Chick fil A. I
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: brought it home and I eat Chok fil A all
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: the time, but I ordered their pineapple dragon fruit drink
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: and I've never had dragon fruit and I'm wondering if
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: that's what made my lipswell. And I was took. I
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: only took three SIPs and I'm glad I didn't drink
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: more because I didn't go to my throat or anything.
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: But so it's been twenty it's been twelve hours. Is
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: there anything I can do? I've taken ben a drill
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: liquid jels. It's down a little bit, not very much,
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: it's just my upper lip.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Interesting.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's obviously something in there that you're allergic to,
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: and I would avoid that again in the future of
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: My daughter, for example, is allergic to monk fruit fruit,
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: so I think there's some ingredient in there. The benadryl,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: if you do it every four hours, as long as
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: you're not having shortness of browth difficulty breathing, I think
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: you can manage it with over the counter type products,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: but you're probably gonna have to do either satirazine ten
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: milligrams two or three times a day or the diphen
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: hydramine benadryl twenty five milligrams every four hours. If you're
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: having shortness of breath, then you know, that's an urgent care,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: emergency rum type visit. But I think it'll be resolved
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: in probably twenty four to thirty six hours. But I
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: would avoid that pineapple free drink again.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Did it taste both?
• 8:30
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: Was it was.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Such a head we're.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Good's that's too bad because you'd like some more, but
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: now it's too bad.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: All right, Well yeah, all right, thanks Maggie, thank you, Okay,
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: thank you eight seven seven six oh two nine six
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: nine six. That would suck. Yeah, find something you really
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: like to find out you're you know if I'm allergic.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Walnuts occasionally, not all the time, but I'll really walnuts
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: and it'll make the inside of my mouth get all
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: tingly and weird.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: I encounter people all the time who are urgic to
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: this or that, and I guess I'm just damn luck
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: and I've never had that.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Let's allergic to work?
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Besides that, Well, listen, I sneeze whatever. I'm here. I
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: don't sneeze at.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Home, but I here to work. Yeah, let's see for
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: doctor Cobble. I've been recovering from sepsis after having surgical
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: compliment complications one month ago. I still get a racing
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: heart just walking around the block. How long should I
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: wait before I can safely go back to the gym.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's a tough question, because that that could be
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: based on other medical illnesses a person has in their age,
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: et cetera. But I think that if you are having
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: a rapid heart rate without chest pain or shortness of bread,
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: then I probably would see your primary care doctor or
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: cardiologist and see if that see if there's something else
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: going on with the lungs or the heart in that
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: particular situation. But you know, again, that's such a complicated question.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: I hate to give a not a good answer for that.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: I had sepsis after surgery thirty years ago, and it
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: took me four to six months before I kind of
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: got back to normal. Really, So you know, you lose
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: twenty five percent of your muscle mass or muscle strength
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: and just ten to fourteen days of a serious illness,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: and again, if you're not having chest pain or shortness
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: breath with it, then I think that it's probably not
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: something serious. But you know, they might talk about beta
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: blockers or different kind of medicines to prevent that reactive
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: tachycardia from the hearts. But I think it's it's worth seeing,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: you know, one of your clinicians.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: And see, Yeah, it's a long difficult recovery from sepsis.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: It's our own head brass. He still says he feels terrible. Now,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: it's like three months now, all.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I think it'll be six months before you're
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: kind of feeling close to back to normal.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Katie. Katie, what's what's your question?
• 11:03
  Speaker 8: Well, last night I went to make dinner and the
• 11:06
  Speaker 8: cheese smelled pretty bad and I realized I had fed
• 11:09
  Speaker 8: it to my boy night.
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: And it has been expired for a month a month,
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: and it's spread and cheese, and he's been sick.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: He has been sick.
• 11:21
  Speaker 8: He has been, but he also drinks a lot and
• 11:25
  Speaker 8: he's so it's usually sick on Mondays anyway, And I
• 11:31
  Speaker 8: really don't want to tell him, but I think I
• 11:33
  Speaker 8: might have to.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: I gave you some bad cheese, spinky cheese.
• 11:40
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it sounds pretty bad. I don't really want to
• 11:46
  Speaker 8: go to trying to poison me.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: He didn't intentionally try to poison him. I did not
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: know for for food poisoning of any product, whether it's
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: a dairy product like you're describing. I think that where
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: I'd be really worried if somebody had fevers or chills
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: or black or bloody bowel movements or you know, or
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: they so again, I think it's something that seems very serious.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Then there may be a bacterial infection that need they
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: need to see an urgent care clinician to be treated for.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: But most of the time food poisoning will run its
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: course and not be life threatening. But again, I think
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: if he really looks sicker than normal, it sounds like
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: he has some bouts of illness over the weekends. If
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: he's looking sicker than normal, go to the emergency room.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: I was so excited to introduce him to the new
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: radio from Hell Cheese Logger that we were getting.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Ready to roll out. He likes to drink. Thanks, thanks
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: for the Katie, Thank you. Yeah.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: I don't wow food poisoning. You know a lot of
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: people they they say they have food poisoning. But I
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: suspect it's not food poisoning. I don't know why from
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: doctor all right, all right, doctor Copple, thank you very much.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Well, thank you, have a great week.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: You tomorrow.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Tomorrow, Bill, you're thinking to
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
