My doctor prescribed me 500 mg of Depakote divalproex sodium a day because I mentioned I can't watch movies with cursing. He wants me to have an MRI and other tests. After reading about Depakote's side effects, I don't think it's the right medication for me. Should I continue with the MRI to check for any brain issues? I'm scheduled for these tests on Thursday and I'm not a person who usually takes medicine, only calcium and vitamins.

Trying to determine if I have had Bronchitis this week. I have a severe cough, productive with brown/yellow phlegm, little to no blood, and a chronic dry cough. I also have a history of prostatitis caused by chlamydia pneumonia. What could this be and what should I do?

I had open heart surgery 19 weeks ago. I completed rehab and was doing well, but recently I've had a severe throat infection, been very tired, and my body temperature is lower than normal. I also feel scared and have sensations of doom, odd swallowing sensations, slight hair loss, and slight ringing in my ears. Is this normal after heart surgery?

I have a rash around the anal area that itches all the time. How long have you had this? Do you have any other symptoms or previous illnesses? What does the rash look like? What creams have you used?

I have a bunion on my right foot, which may or may not be related to my big toe being numb. The tip of the toe is now very sensitive as if it has been asleep for a long period of time. Is this a concern?
