For the past 2-3 years, I have been experiencing one-sided jaw pain that has spread to include my upper cheekbone, under the eye, and neck. The pain comes and goes, usually setting in quickly and lasting up to an hour. I have seen a dentist, ENT, and neurologist, and have tried various treatments including a bite plate, physical therapy, and medications like Tegretol and Wellbutrin, but the pain has not improved. I am seeking information on why the pain has now started affecting my upper cheek and neck, and what could be causing it.

My 18-year-old son has ADHD, dyslexia, alcohol dependency, and has become increasingly involved with extremist racism groups. He has openly expressed extreme views and has shown signs of self-harm and suicidal thoughts. We have been unable to convince the local child mental health team that he has other conditions alongside ADHD and they have discharged him. We are looking for any help or direction to deal with these issues.

I experienced severe shaking, difficulty breathing, and chest pains, along with unexplained weight loss. I don't have sweaty palms or a fast heart rate during these episodes. Could this be a heart infection, and why is it considered rare? Also, what other conditions could cause these symptoms?

What would cause elevated platelets ranging from values of 525,000 to 725,000, while being worked up for iron-deficient anemia? Hemoglobin has been dropping from 14 or 15 down to 10.5, ferritin levels are slightly increasing but still below normal, and previous labs showed elevated C-reactive protein. Upper and lower GI work-up is negative for bleeding, and WBC and creatinine are also elevated. Additionally, the patient had been exposed to moderately high levels of radon gas in his home for many years. Will I only be charged once for this question?

I am 74 years old and in good health, but I have difficulty sustaining an erection and experiencing sensitivity in the head of my penis, which affects my ability to ejaculate during intercourse. I have tried ED pills and a pump, but neither has helped, and I do not like the side effects of the pills. Is there a way to sensitize the head of my penis or my prostate to help me ejaculate without using ED pills or a pump?

My last period was on 12/6/07, my breasts are tender, and I'm nauseated. However, when I take a pregnancy test, it is negative. What else could be the problem?
