I have severe stomach pain and bloating. The pain is sharp and has been interfering with my daily activities. I am 67 years old and diabetic. I am not taking any medications and have no history of diverticular disease. The symptoms started this afternoon and the pain is all over my stomach. I have some constipation but no blood in my stool, fever, or chills. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have always been a headachy person, and this time, the pain is in the back of my head, jaw, and temples. Tylenol and peppermint oil didn't help much. I'm about 7 days away from my period, which is usually regular. What does this sound like, and is there anything to be concerned about?

My poop has been green for a few days now, possibly even a week, and I am wondering if that is due to my bile. I have pretty frequent diarrhea, which has improved, but my stool is now alarmingly green. I occasionally have lower stomach pain, but it's never too bad. I have a pretty balanced diet except for the lack of lactose and fish in my diet due to allergies. I am not currently using any medications. Is this green stool normal, and what should I do about it?

I stopped taking Lunesta several weeks ago and am still experiencing racing heart, muscle spasms, and overall unwellness. Is this normal, and how long do these withdrawal symptoms typically last?

I have been diagnosed with hookworm and have taken albendazole and ivermectin multiple times, but I am still experiencing severe itching and what appears to be worms or larvae coming out of my skin, face, and other body parts. I am also dealing with a rat infestation outside my home and suspect bird mites or body lice. I am scared and uncomfortable, and the hospitals are treating me like a psych patient. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should my next steps be?
