My stomach has been hurting for almost a month. I wake up with severe stomach pains around 2am and 4am, have difficulty pooping, and my stool is orangish and thinner than normal. I also experience dizziness, nausea, and back pain. My doctor suggested taking ibuprofen, but it hasn't helped. What could be causing this, and what can I do to alleviate the symptoms until I can see a specialist?

I have a complex medical condition involving immune deficiency, asthma, COPD, and a history of severe reactions to medications. I was exposed to a chemical drying agent in 2007, which has since caused ongoing health issues. I am currently on multiple medications, including steroids and antibiotics, but am concerned about starting a new medication, Dulera, due to potential side effects. Should I try this new medication, given my history of severe side effects and the current advice from my specialists to stop certain treatments?

What should I do about this situation, and how can I address it with the neurologist who installed the pump incorrectly?

I have found parasites in my nose and during bowel movements, but my blood tests and stool samples came back negative. I have hookworm-like symptoms on my face. I have read about Stromectol and Vermox for intestinal parasites. Can I get a prescription for these medications?
