I am a 26-year-old female concerned about possible renal/kidney failure due to long-term IV antibiotic use, experiencing severe side cramping, minimal urine output, uremia symptoms (yellow/reddish skin, uremia frost), highly acidic urine (pH 4-4.5), nausea, lack of appetite, vertigo, and PNS symptoms. Should I go to the ER, and how serious is uremia frost, especially in relation to potential toxic shock from acidity and uric buildup?

I recently had elevated liver enzyme numbers (AST and ALT) which returned to normal after I quit drinking alcohol. I want to know if I can keep my numbers healthy by drinking moderately, with a glass or two a few times a week.

Can you have a gluten intolerance even if your blood work for it is negative? I have had severe ongoing health issues for almost a year, including GI symptoms and symptoms that mimic reactive hypoglycemia (but my blood sugar is always normal). I stopped eating gluten for a while and felt a little better, but now I feel worse after eating it again. I haven't eaten it today but ate some yesterday, and today I feel extremely faint, tense/jittery, my eyes have trouble focusing, I'm a little nauseous, and I feel sick all over. I started feeling like my blood sugar was low and ate a little, but I'm still lightheaded and my heart is racing. What could be causing these symptoms, and what tests or treatments should I consider?

I've been experiencing discomfort in my vagina and sometimes in my anus, which makes my underwear irritating. My urine has a slight unusual smell, but my discharge is whitish light yellow with no smell. I recently had a UTI and took antibiotics for 7 days, but I still feel like the UTI hasn't fully cleared up. I don't have frequent urination now, but when I do, I feel an intense need to urinate. What could be causing these symptoms and what tests or treatments should I consider?

I have a small bladder and frequent nighttime urination, which causes significant stomach pain and exacerbates my fibromyalgia symptoms, leading to severe sleep deprivation. Despite ongoing bladder treatment, including catheterization, I am not seeing improvement and am experiencing more stomach pain. What additional treatments or strategies can help manage these symptoms and improve my sleep and overall quality of life?

I noticed what looks like a small mole on my leg yesterday. Do I need to be concerned about this, and should I have a doctor look at it?
