I have symptoms of hormone imbalance including extremely oily skin, acne, heavy hair shedding, and cystic ovaries since my mid-20s. I've tried various treatments like birth control pills and progesterone cream, but they didn't work well for me. I'm currently on thyroid medication, but it seems to help minimally. What type of hormone imbalance do these symptoms sound like, and is there anything I can take to get balanced out?

I'm 40 years old and injured my rib 10 days ago while wrestling with my son. The pain has been persistent and has worsened, moving to a different location. I suspect a cracked rib, but how can I be sure without an x-ray, given my high deductible? Are there ways to distinguish between a cracked rib and costochondritis based on symptoms, and what treatment options are available for each condition?

I have a pain in my left arm that started about a week ago, moving from my wrist up to my bicep and shoulder. The pain is shooting and uncomfortable, and it prevents me from fully extending my arm. Should I be worried about my heart, and what could be causing this pain?

If I have acid that I know is as 'clean' as street drug can be, and personally know someone who has done it and had no adverse side effects, what could happen if I were to take it while I am on Effexor? I recently did mushrooms and nothing bad happened, so is it possible nothing bad would happen with the acid?
