I have missed my period, gained 10 pounds in a month, have a hard belly, and my breasts have become slightly larger and harder. I took a pregnancy test by blood which initially showed a low positive, but the HCG level decreased in a follow-up test. My tubes have been tied and cut for four years.

I have a rare disease called Von-Hippel disease, which causes tumors throughout my central nervous system and endocrine system. I am currently on morphine for bone pain and oxycodone for breakthrough pain, but I need to find an alternative to oxycodone due to the new Pill Mill Bill in Florida. I need a breakthrough pain medication that doesn't contain Tylenol because I have liver tumors. What options are available for me?

I have a high-pitched ringing in my ears that has been constant and louder for about two weeks. I am 56 years old, in good health, and not on any medications. I have no history of hypertension, dizziness, or recent colds. The ringing started intermittently and now seems constant. Can this be related to a broken wisdom tooth or my work environment as an elementary school teacher?

I usually take Pepcid before eating anything that could cause heartburn, but are there newer medicines that might work better? I am not interested in taking omeprazole on a daily basis.

My 22-year-old stepson was diagnosed with cyclic vomiting and was given IV fluids in the ER. However, since returning home, he cannot urinate despite feeling the need to. What could be causing this and what should be done?
