Given your previous history of low iron, your current fatigue is also
likely due to low iron. However we should complete testing to be sure
and also confirm there are not other causes contributing.
Also, note that factors contributing to fatigue may include psychological stress,
anxiety, low mood, inadequate time for relaxation, poor diet, or too much alcohol.
A healthy lifestyle is important, including stress reduction, and setting aside
time for adequate relaxation and sleep. As well, even though you are already tired,
gradually increasing physical exercise often helps.

Asthma is a disease that causes inflammation in the airways, narrowing the space
available for air to flow.
Ventolin is a bronchodilator, which helps to relax the muscles and open the airwarys temporarily
but does not address the underlying inflammation.
You should benefit from the addition of regular daily medications such as inhaled corticosteroids
to help suppress the underlying inflammation, and montelukast (Singulair) which is particularly
helpful for allergy induced asthma.
Combination puffers such as Symbicort have both a corticosteroid to help with the inflammation and
a bronchodilator to open th airways that is both rapid onset (close to ventolin)
and longer acting (compared to ventolin), so can be used effectively as a rescue inhaler as well.
A prescription has been provided to extend your use of:
Ventolin HFA 100mcg 1-2 puffs every 4 hours as needed
In addition, prescriptions for the following medications have been provided to try to better
control your asthma symptoms:
Symbicort 200 1 puff twice daily, and as needed up to a total of 8 puffs daily
Montelukast (Singulair) 10mg once daily
You may not need to take these medications the entire year, but regular daily consistent use during
the allergy season should help to control your symptoms.
You are recommended to follow-up with your regular family physician within 30 days to review how
well these new medications are working and whether you wish to continue them or any dose adjustment
is necessary.

Based on your symptoms, you are very likely having the rash in response to
initial infection with a herpes simplex virus. Unfortunately, although the
rash will heal, this virus generally never completely clears from the body
and will very likely cause repeated outbreaks of a blistering rash.
However, the first episode is the worst, and medications can also help
reduce the severity and duration of future outbreaks.
There is no blood test available to test for an active
herpes simplex infection (HSV). To obtain a definite diagnosis
you would need to visit a clinic in person and have a swab of the rash.
To reduce the duration of the current outbreak, you are advised to use the '
prescribed medication valacyclovir (Valtrex) 2 capsules (1g) twice daily
for 10 days. If the rash is not completely healed, please extend the
treatment for another 10 days.
Note that if you have recurrence of this rash, you should take the same
medication valacyclovir (Valtrex) 1 capsule (500mg) twice daily for 3 days
starting when you first notice a tingle or blister forming.
To reduce discomfort, you are advised to use the prescribed topical
lidocaine 2% gel applied up to four times daily.

Strategies to Prevent Kidney Stones
Diet
Increase fluid intake (2.5-3L/day to make >2L urine per day)
Increase citric acid containing fruits or beverages such as lemon juice/orange juice
Cut salt intake (<2300mg sodium/day)
Minimize phosphoric acid containing soda (colas)
Limit animal protein to <=2 meals per day, less than 6-8 ounces
Limit high oxalate foods such as spinach and rhubarb

Assessment:
{{ap}} Primary Delayed Ejaculation (likely at least partly secondary to serotonergic medication]
Primary delayed ejaculation is difficult to treat unless directly related to a medication.
If a medication cause is suspected, strategies include:
1) Switching SSRI to vilazodone (Viibryd) or low dose vortioxetine (Trintellix)
2) Switching SSRI to SNRI - duloxetine (cymbalta) or levomilnacipran (Fetzima) likely best
3) Adding mirtazapine (Remeron) or bupropion (Wellbutrin) to an SSRI
If not medication related, it is usually related to anxiety, and overcontrolling or obsessive personality traits.
Intensive counselling may be helpful.
Most men are able to find specific stimuli when alone that help them reach their particularly high ejaculation threshold.
Having their partner mimic these techniques may allow them to ejaculate with their partner.
Finally, a stimulant (eg Dexedrine 5-10mg) 1 hour before sexual activity may help.
If this approach is effective, one should consider screening for ADHD.
Plan:

Medications can sometimes be helpful for anxiety and depression.
To be effective, they must be taken once daily, every day.
They usually take several weeks to start having a significant effect.
They are usually continued for at least 9 to 12 months.
Some more common side effects include nausea, headache, sleep disturbance,
sexual dysfunction, sweating and dry mouth.
When first starting, they may cause a temporary increase in anxiety,
and rarely an increase in suicidal thinking.
If suicidal thoughts are increasing, it is important to seek help immediately.

Based on your symptoms it is very likely you have a urinary tract infection and
treatment can be started now.
However, it would also be useful to submit a sample of urine for culture to confirm the infection
and help guide treatment if the initial treatment is not working.
On discussion, you have responded well to previous treatments for urinary tract infection and
do not want to pursue this additional testing at this time.
You are recommended to submit a sample of urine for culture to confirm the diagnosis and
guide treatment in case symptoms do not improve. You will be contacted to arrange this testing.
{{pp}} start the prescribed antibiotic: Macrobid (nitrofurantoin) 100mg twice daily for 7 days
{{pp}} increase fluids and consider cranberry pills as these can help clear the infection faster.
{{finish}}
{{pp}} monitor for symptoms of kidney infection (pyelonephritis) including fever, nausea, and back pain
