I break out in hives at night, usually between 2-4am, mainly on extremities/hands, sometimes on the torso. This wakes me up and causes intense itching. I take Benedryl to stop the itching. I am 58 years old and this has been happening for 2-3 months. There have been no changes in detergents or cosmetics. The hives only occur at night, specifically between 2-4 am, and I have a rash that appears in different places each night. I also notice deep scratches on my skin from scratching in my sleep. What could be causing this and what can I do to prevent it?

I have been experiencing continuous head spinning for two months, diagnosed with left ear vestibular dysfunction or Meniere's disease. I have tried various medications including water pills, meclizine, and betaserc 16 mg twice a day, but they have not improved my condition. I am also taking blood pressure medicine and anxiety medication. My MRI, blood tests, and heart check-up are all clear. I feel unbalance and my head and eyes spin constantly. What could be causing this, and what is the best treatment to relieve my symptoms?

How do you deal with someone who insists on bringing up an embarrassing medical incident, particularly if they weren’t supposed to know about it in the first place?

I had a mild fever for approximately 45 days, which was diagnosed as a urine infection. I was medicated for almost 10 days and felt relief, but after stopping the medication for 7-8 days, the fever returned. I was given the same medication again, and urine culture tests were done. Now, I am feeling feverish and have mild issues while urinating. What should I do?

I used about a half gram of cocaine on a Wednesday and some on the following Tuesday night. I took a urine drug test with a detection level of 20ug the following Thursday, which is 8 days after my last use. I am 6’4 and 240lbs. What are the chances of failure, and what is the normal threshold for a urine screening?
