I've gone through 6 tampons in the last 4 hours with large (quarter size) clotting. This is my second menstrual cycle in 3 weeks. The last one was normal. Normal for me is 4-6 tampons a day. I'm tired and get lightheaded when I stand up or walk around too much. When should I be concerned enough to go to the ER?

I have a health insurance through my workplace but the deductible is very high ($5000). Can I buy supplemental health insurance to lower my deductible and cover the things not covered by my insurance? If so, which companies offer these supplemental insurances and what are they called?

I suffered a fractured fifth cervical vertebra 42 years ago. The injury did not sever my spinal cord but the swelling left me partially paralyzed. My medical doctor retired a couple of years ago and I am having trouble finding another because I'm over 65. I need a prescription for a portable patient lift. Can you help me?

I have been experiencing on/off light-colored stool for approximately 6-8 weeks. I am completely asymptomatic otherwise, working out daily, feeling great, and working as a nursing supervisor. My alcohol intake is usually 3 glasses of wine a day, sometimes more, sometimes less. I had routine labs drawn in February, which were normal, except for slightly elevated cholesterol for about 3 years. I take lovastatin, metoprolol, spironolactone/hydrochlorothiazide, Taztia XT, and various supplements. Should I be worried? Is it possible to feel fine and have normal labs with this going on?

I'm experiencing body pain, especially while lying down, due to enduring extreme non-physical abuse and harassment for over a decade. The symptoms feel like physical battle injuries. I'm trying to seek counseling but my body needs recovery first. What can I do myself to get some relief without consuming alcohol?
