For about a year now, I’ve been suffering from severe pain on the right side of my face. I’ve consulted multiple specialists including my GP, ophthalmologist, endodontist, audiologist, ENT, neurologist, and neurosurgeon, but no one can diagnose the issue. Common diagnoses are sinus infections or Trigeminal Neuralgia, but my right ear is badly affected, which is not typical for Trigeminal Neuralgia. Today, everything from my jaw to my eye and cheekbone hurts with pulsating pain. I’ve completed five courses of antibiotics this fall and have been on two different steroids. The pain comes and goes but is affecting my daily activities. What other painkillers or types of doctors should I consider? The pain is unbearable.

I have had diarrhea for months. I have been treated with antibiotics several times but it still persists. I had a stool sample test done, which was negative. Where do I go from here?

I live in Australia and have Type 2 Diabetes. My blood sugar levels are staying much higher than usual, around 14 on the Australian Scale, due to being on steroids for Asthma. Is this dangerous?

I am having extreme anxiety due to finding red specks in the toilet bowl at work, which I assume to be blood. I touched one with a piece of toilet paper and had a bleeding skin pull on my finger around the nail. I am concerned about the risk of Hepatitis B and C infection, especially since I have had two out of three Hep B shots and the last one is due in June. What is the risk of infection from such a contact, and how much blood is required for transmission? Additionally, how soon does an open wound turn into a healing wound, and does tap water affect the Hep B and C virus?

I am looking for surgeons in Perth, Western Australia who perform the latest weight loss surgeries such as VBLOCK vagal nerve surgery or ENDOBARRIER. I have sent over 30 emails to surgeries in Melbourne and have received little response with no useful information. Can you help me?
