I have been diagnosed with IBS D for many years and recently with CDIFF. I have lost control over my bowels, leading to uncontrollable diarrhea and the need to wear adult briefs. I've also lost over 30lbs and have an orange-sized mass on my abdomen. I only take Tylenol for pain/cramps. Am I going to waste away, and where do I turn for help?

I have been experiencing a generalized headache around the front of my head, sometimes more on the right side, for a couple of weeks. My eyes feel warm and tired, and I find it hard to open my right eye, especially when I wake up. I also have achy shoulders and neck, particularly on the right side. Can this be a sign of a brain tumor, MS, or a cluster headache? Should I be concerned about my eye issue, and should I get an eye test?

What can a doctor do if I refuse a drug test, and is it better to fail the test or refuse until I'm sure the substance is gone?

I have intense pain where my right ovary is and was found to have an involuting cyst on that ovary. I'm bleeding and have some brown discharge and intense pain with nausea. What is an involuting cyst and is this normal for this kind of cyst? I also had a cyst in the past couple of months and have fibromyalgia, which could intensify the pain. Should I be concerned about my ovarian health, especially if I want to have a family in the near future? Is there any relation to PCOS with repeated cysts?

I was bitten by a wasp three days ago on my elbow and hand. There is a lot of itching, but no swelling or fever. Will it heal on its own, or is there any concern?

For nearly a year, I have been experiencing a tingling sensation in the left side of my face and sometimes near my wrist, occurring about 2-3 times a month. I have no other symptoms and feel great. I have a history of migraines with aura. Could this be hormone-related, especially around my period, or could it be a silent migraine? I'm concerned it might be multiple sclerosis (MS).
