I am experiencing constant diarrhea, fatigue, dehydration, and nausea since December 24th, which worsened after taking Pepto-Bismol and then improved slightly with Imodium. I have no appetite, feel nauseous and tired, but not overly bloated. I am 26 years old, not on any medications other than Imodium, and allergic to penicillin. My symptoms seem consistent but worsened after Pepto-Bismol, and I have stress and anxiety, which might be related to a bacterial issue as my son is also experiencing diarrhea. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My husband has recently experienced a decrease in appetite, leg cramps, feeling full after eating a smaller amount, and is often asleep. He has a history of leg cramps, drinks Gatorade which helps, and has been sweating excessively during cold weather. He also has a naval hernia and occasional diarrhea. What could be causing these symptoms and what should we do?

What does pain in your lower left abdomen mean? The pain started 18 hours ago and comes and goes. It is achey, located just above the waistline on the left side, and there is pain when pressing that area. There is discomfort going to the bathroom, but no urinary pain. I am 22 years old and have tried Motrin without relief.

My wife is 39 years old and has been experiencing fever, sweating at the head, pain in her foot fingers and hip, gastrointestinal and respiratory issues, and feeling cold during her feverish situations. She has also been in contact with our daughter who had a fever, sore throat, and fungal infection in the mouth. What could be causing her symptoms and what steps can be taken to alleviate them?

I am currently taking Buspirone and Lorazepam. I am feeling better on Buspirone but am trying to wean off Lorazepam. Should I continue taking Buspirone once a day until my next appointment on January 24th, or should I try taking it twice a day again? Additionally, how should I approach reducing my Lorazepam dosage?
