I have been diagnosed with minimal psoriasis and recently experienced anal itching, which was diagnosed as an anal fissure. I have also had a sudden swelling on my foot arch and pain from my butt down to my arch bone, which my father suspects might be sciatica.

I just got over a case of gout and I lost a lot of weight. I don't eat but one time a day, and when I stand up my ankles hurt real bad. When I try to walk, I am weak in my legs, and sometimes the food tastes bitter. What could be causing these symptoms?

I have had ongoing sickness for 6 weeks, including pneumonia, a viral infection, and suspected viral meningitis. I've been hospitalized four times and experienced symptoms such as loss of appetite, lower right tummy pain, weight loss, extreme nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, fever, and chills. My platelet levels have varied from 390k to 170k. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I had a lap band in 2010 with no complications. I was recently hospitalized for depression and started on risperidone and nitrofurantoin for a UTI. Today, after taking these medications and eating a small meal, I experienced nausea, heartburn, and later vomited black. I am new to this area and don't have a doctor. What should I do?

My son has been sick with dark urine, yellow eyes, extreme tiredness, and loss of appetite. Blood work showed elevated liver enzymes and bilirubin levels, but tests ruled out hepatitis. A CT scan was done, and we are waiting for results. What could be causing these symptoms?

I have a UTI and was prescribed MAROBID, but I experienced severe side effects like double vision, shaky hands, and excessive sweating. I am also allergic to certain antibiotics like bacterium, Cypro, and penicillin. What other antibiotics can I take, and is there a lower dose option with Benadryl?
