I have been diagnosed with active sarcoidosis affecting my heart, lungs, lymph nodes, spleen, and now my skin. I also have vitiligo and hypothyroidism. I am a healthy and fit 60-year-old female, but I am experiencing increased inflammation and reduced kidney function. I am mindful of my heart rate and fatigue, and I need advice on how to manage my health situation, including dealing with the side effects of steroid treatment for sarcoidosis.

I took 3 hydrocodone pills at 10 mg each within a 4-day window about 30 days ago. Will the amount that shows up on a hair follicle test fail me?

I have had a coworker brag about putting eyedrops in my drink in the past. Could this relate at all to my fatty liver disease? I am not, nor have been a drinker, with the exception of 1 to 3 drinks in a year on average. What would be the side effects from tetrahydrozoline or similar poisoning?

Every morning I wake up early with flu-like symptoms such as fever, sickness, and aching. I have been to the doctor, and my blood test results seem okay. I take statins, aspirin, and have a small hole in my heart, which was diagnosed last year. My family has a history of heart disease, and my health is generally horrible, feeling exhausted. I also had a hysterectomy in 2000 due to early-stage cancer. What could be causing these symptoms, and what additional tests should I consider?

I suddenly experienced lightheadedness, shakiness, and profuse sweating while in the grocery store. I went home, drank water, ate something, and the symptoms subsided. My blood pressure and pulse are normal, but I have a slight discomfort in my jaw/neck area. I took two aspirin after this incident. I recently had normal blood work and have GERD, anxiety, and PCOS. What could have caused these symptoms?

I have been experiencing a burning sensation in my anus and rectum after bowel movements for about a year. Are there any other symptoms or medical history that the doctor should know about?
