I had a biopsy taken from my armpit, and the results did not indicate cancer. However, my doctor suggested a day surgery to remove a lymph node for a closer examination. My skin is also red and painful, and I'm concerned about how this will affect me during the summer. Can you provide guidance on what to expect and how to manage my condition?

I'm glad to hear that your biopsy results were normal and that there is no indication of skin cancer...

I have stopped using marijuana and sleeping pills for sleep, but now I wake up at least once a night to pee, my sleep duration has reduced to 7-8 hours, and occasionally I wake up after 5 hours and can't fall back to sleep. My sleep schedule is different from the normal pattern due to my partner's time zone. I also have insulin resistance, which I keep under control, and I'm concerned about my kidneys. Why has this problem occurred after I started sleeping naturally, and what can I do about it?

I’m extremely thirsty, have bad ringing in the ears, tired but not tired, can’t sleep, have a dry mouth, sore neck, pins and needles in hands and feet, and very blocked ears. How long have you had the tiredness? Is this stable or getting worse? How’s your appetite? Any pain in your head, joints, or muscles? What are all the medications you’re currently using, either for the tiredness or anything else? How old are you? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I have a small, movable, semi-hard bump on my leg that sometimes causes anxiety. I've been reassured that it's not serious as long as it doesn't grow or change. How can I manage my anxiety about this bump and accept that it's likely harmless?
