This was a very informative article, my doctor never told me about the yellow eyelid problem and I did ask about it. I knew I needed to find a new doctor because he only talks about what I need when I turn 50 and 65 years old

This was THEE first time I actually enjoyed an article! It was to the point, very educating, and easy to understand! The topics didn't leave you hanging. They continued in the next paragraph. Just enough! Thank you!

So you only care about women! The white fingernail test was interesting. I was glad to find that mine were OK. Chas -71 year old male.

Why don't any of these studies include men? I've noticed that about some of these public news articles. I see tons of things like this about women - nothing wrong there really, but why aren't any studies about men publicized like the womens' are?

I would think twice about asking your doctor for Elidel. It depresses the immune system and it has a black box warning.

White patches at the corners of your mouth can also be caused by an autoimmune disorder called Sjogren's (pronounced sho-grins) disease. It is a disorder where your body's immune system makes antibodies that attack your tear ducts, saliva glands, and mucus membranes. The white patches are often one of the first signs. If you have had this symptom for a while, or you also have vaginal dryness, dry eyes, or dry mouth, have your doctor do a test for Sjogren's or refer you to a doctor who can. If not caught in time it can completely destroy the tissues it attacks. My mom and I both have it and the best treatment that we have found for it is a vegan diet plus two Barlean's flax seed oil capsules a day. My mom went on a vegan diet to lower her cholesterol and blood sugar and successed, but her rheumatoid arthritis and Sjogren's went into remission as well. I was already vegan, and so I didn't have any symptoms other than the dry eye (exacerbated by my contacts), but when I added the flax oil (and a little prayer), my eyes were much better, to the delight of my optometrist. A low neutrophil count is also associated with Sjogren's so if you have a history of a low white cell and/or neutrophil count, it would be worth it to get tested.
