I’ve been prescribed Linzess for constipation, but after taking it, I experienced severe diarrhea. I’m concerned about having diarrhea every day and want to understand what has caused this issue, especially since it started around the same time I began taking 15 mg diazepam, increased my liothyronine dose, and started a new probiotic.

I went to get my flu shot today. The nurse did not have gloves on when she handled the vaccine vial and the new needle, which was still capped. She put gloves on before assembling the injection and injecting me. I am concerned about the possibility of anything on her hands transferring to the needle, especially since the bottom hub was exposed to her skin. Could I have contracted HIV from this encounter?

I am taking 200mg Gabapentin for Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) after weaning off 0.125mg Mirapex. How long does it take for Gabapentin to start working for RLS, and is sudden onset of sharp joint pain throughout the body a side effect along with my hands constantly falling asleep?
