Do medications really expire? I have a sinus infection and have some antibiotics left from last year. I take thyroid meds daily and a medication for depression. I am allergic to penicillin.

I had radioactive iodine in 2010 and now have a confirmed hypothyroid condition. My GP prescribed levothyroxine, but I experienced severe side effects such as faintness, nausea, impaired memory, palpitations, and hot flushes. The initial dose was lowered from 50 mcg to 25 mcg, but I still felt ill. Is there any other form of thyroxine available that I could try?

This morning I woke up and my foot was tingling. As well, my arm is tingling, swollen, red, and warm. It goes from my hand up my arm to above the elbow. I am diabetic 1 but have never suffered nerve pain before. Does it usually just appear? Or if it’s something else, what could it be?

I had gallbladder surgery in March 2017 and haven't had a bowel movement since then. I've tried drinking water, taking Movantik, prune juice, and Miralax with no results. I take an iron pill and am on 50mg of Seroquel. My anxiety is high, and I haven't seen a doctor yet. How can I have a bowel movement to avoid a blockage?

I have chronic pancreatitis and haven't drank for 3 years until 5 months of drinking. Can it cause exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI)? I am concerned because my daughters might think I've been drinking for 5 years, and I want to clarify if years of alcohol abuse can cause the problem, not the recent drinking.
