I started experiencing flu-like symptoms on 4/20, followed by severe pain in the temporal mandibular joint. I also have deep coughing spells that lead to vomiting, fatigue, weakness, indigestion, nausea, and constipation from medications. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I check or do?

I am 49 years old and have gained 30 lbs since my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and passed away. I have severe lower back and tailbone pain that sometimes prevents me from moving. My children are in college and high school, and I want to be able to support them fully. We eat a healthy diet of fish, chicken, fruits, and vegetables, but my son teases me about my eating habits. How can I improve my back pain and overall well-being?

I was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I have no fever, occasional runny nose, occasional cough, wheezing sound at night during expiration, no mucus or phlegm, and a tickle in my throat that's not painful but aggravating. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I have been diagnosed with fatty liver disease, and I am concerned about the mild discomfort I sometimes feel on my right side, which may be muscular due to back issues. I am actively trying to lose weight, improve my diet, and manage my cholesterol and triglycerides. My liver enzymes are normal, and my doctor does not recommend a follow-up ultrasound or seeing a specialist. However, I am worried that I might be overlooking something. What steps should I take to manage and potentially reverse this condition?

I am very forgetful and lack awareness of my surroundings unless I concentrate really hard. I often space out, have dead moments during the day, and get lost easily, even with familiar routes. My mind is often unclear, and I have trouble concentrating. I frequently relive funny or bad events in my head, missing what's happening around me. I get frustrated, angry, upset, and sad easily. I also have bad feelings like being watched or that something bad is happening. I have been diagnosed with PTSD and depression and am taking Buspirone HCL and Bupropion HCL for anxiety and depression, but they don't seem to be helping completely. What other treatments or medications could help?
