I have been experiencing various symptoms including stomach soreness, Barrett's esophagus, sore mouth/throat/jaw, numbness, tingling, and weakness for the past 8 months. My vital signs and blood tests are always normal, and some doctors believe this is mostly anxiety-related. I am concerned about the reflux issue, which is worsening despite taking Omeprazole, Tums, honey, L-glutamine, DGL licorice, and zinc supplements. I also have non-acid reflux and am considering whether to visit Mayo Clinic. How much of these symptoms are likely due to anxiety, and can anxiety cause all these symptoms? Should I continue with the current medications, including Baclofen, Omeprazole, ranitidine, and sertraline, and how can I manage dry mouth symptoms?

I have diabetes with insulin and baked cookies today, not paying attention to my blood sugar. I just tested before bed and it's 589. I am scared since this never happened before. I take Novolin 20-40 and took 12 units of insulin. I cannot take any more insulin now. Will this cause anything serious if I go to bed now?

My daughter used a roadside toilet today. She is 7. After she used it, I noticed there were wet marks all on the seat, urine I guess (Not from her), hard to tell as the seat is black. It was a grotty looking toilet and I am terrified now she will develop serious illness or infection. We used hand sanitizer to clean her hands after and I showered her as soon as possible which wasn't for a few hours. Please help I am very germ phobic and suffer with GAD.

Last week, I was at work at a drycleaner and encountered a lot of animal hair, which caused me to sneeze frequently. The next day, my nose started hurting, feeling like it was chapped. I've been using petroleum jelly, but the pain has moved to the rim of my nostril and is now scabbing. What is this condition, and is there anything else I can do to make it go away quicker?

Can cancer cells that are ready to divide but can't due to lack of estrogen remain in a dormant state for months or even years, and then divide when estrogen levels spike, potentially due to alcohol consumption?
