How do doctors deal with gay patients? Do they mark the chart, and do they treat a gay patient differently than a straight patient? I am scared to tell my personal MD.

Since I was a child, I've been experiencing racing thoughts all day long. I sing songs when I wake up and sometimes say words without reason, and this continues until I sleep. I've tried various medications for bipolar and schizophrenia with no progress. I feel there's something wrong with my mind, but doctors haven't been able to help. What could be the issue, and what can I do to address it?

I grind my teeth at night even with a night guard, which causes terrible headaches and an aching tired jaw. I have seen a TMJ specialist but treatment is too expensive and not covered by healthcare. I take a mixture of medications including Tylenol #3, Advil, and generic brand Robaxecet. Is there anything different that might help?

I am a healthy 37-year-old female with thyroid disease, taking Synthroid and Loestrin 24FE birth control. Since November 2010, I have been experiencing sulfur burps followed by flu-like symptoms, including stomach pain, vomiting, and diarrhea about once a month. These symptoms last for 24-48 hours and then I return to normal until the next episode. I have no concurrent medical illnesses and my bloodwork is normal. I cannot pinpoint a specific food trigger and do not believe I am lactose intolerant or have issues with wheat products. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do next?

I have had vertigo and nystagmus since a middle ear infection, resulting in labyrinthitis and hospitalization. The vertigo stopped for a while but has returned. I am using Hyoscine (Scopoderm) patches and Stemetil as needed. What other treatments could help stop the vertigo, and do my other medications (Voltarol and Pregablin) interfere with my vertigo treatment?
