I have been on the Atkins diet for 3 weeks and have gained 12 pounds. I follow the diet strictly and have used Atkins before with success. I am currently taking Nardil for bipolar and Seroquel for sleep. What could be causing the weight gain and what alternative diet should I consider?

I recently visited the ER for upper abdominal pain. An ultrasound showed a heterogeneous appearance in the right lobe of the liver with nodular areas of increased echogenicity, and the possibility of fatty infiltration or other infiltrative or nodular diseases. My blood labs were within normal limits. What does this mean, and should I be concerned?

My mum accidentally took a flea tablet. She is on warfarin for her blood, so I'm worried about any potential interactions. Will she be okay?

I'm interested in doing a Karyotype test for a human anatomy project. Where can I do this type of screening, how much would it cost, and would my medical insurance company (Blue Cross/Blue Shield) cover it? If the cost is too high, is there a cheaper alternative, and how can I acquire a copy of a Karyotype screening done by a hospital?

I feel sick all the time with daily headaches, tight neck and shoulders, heavy eyelids, and extreme tiredness despite working out. I have IBS, a bad back with two herniated disks, and feel embarrassed to keep complaining to my doctor. I've tried relaxers for muscle tightness, allergy meds for heavy eyes, and depressive meds for tiredness, but none have worked. I take allergy meds daily and sometimes migraine meds when the headache is severe, along with painkillers for my back. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
