I have been experiencing twitching in my calves and popping sensations all over my body for 14 months. I have diabetes with peripheral neuropathy, gained 40 lbs in the past year and a half, and recently had leg pain and stiffness that was relieved by prednisone. I still have core weakness and difficulty getting up from a squatting position. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do next?

I have been experiencing uncomfortable vaginal symptoms, including itching, increased discharge, and a dry, red, itchy rash on my vulva, after having unprotected sex with a previous partner who gave me oral sex with a beard and we used a new lubricant. What do you believe is the cause of these symptoms?

I had a bad cold about a month ago and now I have a dry cough and need to clear my throat. I noticed a pea-sized lymph node, which the doctor wasn't concerned about 5 weeks ago. I have anxiety about cancer, especially since having my son in October 2018. Could this lymph node be a sign of something serious, and how long might it take for the lymph node to disappear?
