I am a 50-year-old female with a recent pulmonary embolism, blood and white cells in my urine, and elevated liver enzymes (GGT 338, AST 50, ALT 98, ALK PHOS 79, BILIRUBIN 6, BICARBONATE 17, GLUCOSE 8.7). I have a history of NASH and am currently on warfarin. I experience right-sided back pain, occasional left-sided chest pains, frequent urination with no infection detected, nausea, headache, thirst, and fatigue. What could be causing these symptoms and elevated liver enzymes, and what should I do?

I am having a toxic reaction to a mold or dust mite infestation in my carpet. I need to know how to identify what is in the carpet other than through cultures for mold/fungus and dust mites. My two dogs and I are allergic to Aspergillus fumigatus, dust mites, and bluegrass. I also see patterns in the carpet like little holes and burrowing, which have become more prevalent. What am I dealing with?

I need to get a prescription for Gabapentin again. I was seeing a rheumatoid doctor who prescribed this for me at night. I ran out of insurance and cannot afford to see him again. I take Tegretol for my chronic neuralgia on the left side of my face. I'm a male, 59, and it's getting harder to handle the pain. This medication seems to help me manage it.

I am a 50-year-old female with multiple orthopedic issues, including a right total knee replacement 16 months ago, a swollen hand requiring an ace bandage, and a recent emergency visit where my right knee was immobilized due to swelling and high white blood cell count, indicating sepsis. I also have a neck fracture (C7) pressing against the spinal cord and multiple spinal issues (L3-4, L5-6). I am currently on antibiotics (Levaquin) and have been advised to continue pre-op exercises. However, I am uncomfortable returning to my current surgeon. Could you offer an opinion on where I can seek help for these debilitating issues, particularly the torn ligament in my knee?
