I have Crohn's disease, which has led to eye infections, rheumatoid arthritis, and now depression. I need coping skills for my emotional state and anxiety, as I am on disability and fear losing my benefits. I am a single mother and have thought about suicide at times. What can I do to manage my anxiety and depression without relying on medication, or do I need to consider depression medication?

For 6 weeks, after traveling from London, I noticed extreme body aches in my upper arms, forearms, shins, and my flanks (more pronounced on the left side), numbness in my heel, and intermittent fever. I also vomit roughly 2-3 times a week, usually without warning. What could these symptoms indicate, and what tests should I consider?

I am a 45-year-old male who seldom drinks alcohol but experiences an immediate tingling sensation through my scalp after consuming even a small amount of beer or mixed drink. This sensation dissipates if I wait after the first swallow. I also experience the same effect with cold medications containing alcohol. I have elevated blood sugar, triglycerides, and cholesterol, and take medication for these conditions. What could be causing this reaction?

I used to take amitriptyline/perphenazine, which helped me sleep and with my migraines. I was recently prescribed amitriptyline 25 mg to help me sleep. What is the 'perphen' part of the script, and what is the difference between the combination product and the new prescription?
