Swollen right ankle, feels "cold inside", eczema over entire body, extreme hair loss, loose stools, less energy, also losing weight. Previously was a healthy senior taking zero medication, lives in own home. Fully functioning, able to care for herself entirely on her own, drives a car, cooks, etc. Eczema began last summer, major hair loss within the recent month. Refuses to see a doctor.
Usually the reason for not wanting to go to the doctor is the fear of the unknown.
