Hello, I am a patient of Dr Gordon Skinner and as most of you know he has passed away. Apart from being absolutely devastated about his untimely demise, I am now struggling to find anyone who may treat me as he did...symptoms first rather than lab results! I know that many of you on here are as good

I have been suffering from an itchy scalp which produces dry flaky skin and a red rash, for around five years now.
I have been prescribed betamethasone valerate and apply it several times a week. I cannot get the bottom of what causes it and my GP is not interested. can anyone help? Should i be taking the steroid long term?

Had eosinophlic meingitis 10/8/13, had NECC betamethasone injection Sept 21,2013. 40 days in hosp. now I have spinal fluid leaking
forming a cyst??? about the size of a lemon. I think the diag'd it as eosinophilic, to keep it under the radar. Statistics, for NECC show not one meningitis case in Connecticut. but here I am. That diagnosis is like saying you a diagnosis of a a sneeze, when you really have pneumonia Hand tremors

Whole brain radiation?
Hi My father had lung cancer suspected 3 weeks ago from a radiograph, and things have moved quickly to confirm the suspicion. An adenocarcinoma has been confirmed at bronchoscopy/biopsy, but unfortuately a CT scan has shown 2rys throughout both lungs, but more worryingly in his brain. The oncologist

Betamethasone steroid tabs + sugar/sweetness cravings
Dont know if anyone can help here BUT I need some advice! Betamethasone has a very high glucocorticoid activity in conjunction with insignificant mineralocorticoid activity. This makes them particularly suitable for high-dose therapy in conditions where fluid retention would be a disadvantage. According
