I have been diagnosed with OCPD and ADHD, and have been using Concerta for more than a year. I have tried various medications like Effexor XR, Prestiq, Topamax, Wellbutrin, and Cipralex, but felt no effect even after using them for more than six months each. I am looking for a medication that can help with my OCPD symptoms without causing side effects like laziness and lack of motivation.

I suffer from BPD and panic disorder, and for the past 6 months, I have constant muscle tightness in my chest that radiates down to my arms, making it hard for me to do daily activities even though I take my medication daily. Additionally, my breasts are cramping and very tender. I'm a 31-year-old female, 230 lbs, and nothing helps the tightness. I'm always in pain, always tired, and my bloodwork was fine six months ago, but I've had my heart checked several times. I was a heavy alcoholic for about 12 years before cutting back. I've also been experiencing neuropathy pain in my arms and legs that lasted two weeks. I've had EKGs and X-rays, which were normal, but I'm still concerned. What could be causing these symptoms, and what tests should I request from my doctor?

My mom is 76 and her health is declining very fast. She complains about being cold all the time, even though it’s very hot outside. Is there anything we can do for her?

I am diabetic and have a history of yeast infections. My foreskin is red at the tip and tender, and I have been using Lotrimin for about a week, but the condition seems to be recurring. I also have high blood pressure. What should I do to treat this yeast infection effectively?

I bumped into a dirty, dusty wall while getting clothes out of the dryer, and my hair came in contact with a lot of dirt and dust. I'm worried that an amoeba could be in my hair and infect my daughter who constantly cuddles with me. Is this a risk of any sort?
