My poop has been green for a few days now, possibly even a week, and I am wondering if that is due to my bile. I have pretty frequent diarrhea, which has improved, but my stool is now alarmingly green. I occasionally have lower stomach pain, but it's never too bad. I have a pretty balanced diet except for the lack of lactose and fish in my diet due to allergies. I am not currently using any medications. Is this green stool normal, and what should I do about it?

I stopped taking Lunesta several weeks ago and am still experiencing racing heart, muscle spasms, and overall unwellness. Is this normal, and how long do these withdrawal symptoms typically last?

I have been diagnosed with hookworm and have taken albendazole and ivermectin multiple times, but I am still experiencing severe itching and what appears to be worms or larvae coming out of my skin, face, and other body parts. I am also dealing with a rat infestation outside my home and suspect bird mites or body lice. I am scared and uncomfortable, and the hospitals are treating me like a psych patient. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should my next steps be?

I have an age spot that sometimes feels tingly, itchy, or crawly. I'm concerned about whether it could be something more serious like cancer. Is there anything I can do to alleviate these sensations, and do I need to see a dermatologist?

I have planter fasciitis and wear special fitted shoe inserts to support the complete foot. This has fixed the problem over the years until last fall when I tore my meniscus in my right knee, causing the PF to flare up on my left foot. I had surgery on the right knee three weeks ago, and it feels great, but the PF won't go away. Yesterday, I overstretched my left foot going up stairs, and the pain is now overwhelming. I iced it last night and am taking ibuprofen, but I can't put pressure on my heel. What can I do to help this mend?
