The word prom is short for promenade, a leisurely walk taken in order to be seen by others. Similar to the debutante balls of earlier times, today’s proms are social events unequaled by any other in the school year. The night often includes fancy limos, elaborately decorated ballrooms, live bands, expensive clothing, and the crowning of a king and queen. Hundreds of photos and videos are taken for social media.

Dear Dr. Roach: I am a 62-year-old female. After about two weeks (sometimes less) of taking watersoluble vitamin supplements, I experience severe abdominal discomfort or a burning sensation. It feels like I either have a UTI or a vaginal infection. I also experienced the same symptoms taking collagen. It doesn’t matter which form or brand of supplements I take. I have tried most. I have gone to my doctor and have had both infections ruled out multiple times. I finally figured out that it was being caused by the supplements. When I stop taking them, the discomfort subsides within a week. I have no trouble with fat-soluble vitamins. I have asked every doctor I have seen in the past 30 years about this, and none has heard of it. Their solution is to not take them. As I age I am concerned that I am not able to support my health with only my diet. Am I getting enough vitamins without supplements if I eat well?

Watching weather reports this week of the snow that was left in part of the country as the Easter weekend faded into memory left me longing for the long hot evenings of summer. Sure in July I will be complaining and wishing for fall weather, but right now, I can't wait for the long summer nights when the honeysuckle that grows on the edge of my drive way wafts through the air and cicadas sing for rain.
