I previously asked about my husband's renal function. New blood work has revealed his numbers have worsened. His creatine is now 2.68, his MDGR is 25, and his HCO3 is 17. They want to prescribe bicarbonate pills. How serious is this and how concerned should we be?

I currently take 20 mg Prozac daily, 1 mg finasteride daily, 5 mg low-dose Cialis daily, and dapoxetine on demand. I also drink about six beers on one or two days a week. Is it dangerous to combine these drugs with alcohol, and are there any short-term or long-term effects that could be harmful?

I tend to eat low carb throughout the day and notice that when I occasionally eat more carbs for dinner, my fasting glucose the next day is slightly higher. Is this normal, and should I be concerned about occasional readings over 100?

I tested positive for syphilis in April 2019 with an RPR Titer ratio of 1:8. I received treatment with 3 penicillin shots and retested with the following RPR Titer Ratios: 04/19/19 - 1:8, 06/10/19 - 1:40, 07/30/19 - 1:40, 09/11/19 - 1:40, 01/26/21 - 1:2. Am I cured even though the results come back as reactive? Will they ever come back as non-reactive or negative? Will I experience long-lasting permanent damage? Can the syphilis continue to affect me even though it’s been treated? Should I be concerned? What is the difference between a 1:8 titer and a 1:32 titer? What is the highest titer you can get? And the higher the more dangerous?

I've been experiencing several unusual symptoms over the past few months, including urinary incontinence, internal tremors, mental fog, speech problems, loss of feeling in fingers, weakness in hands, and numbness in toes. I've reduced my medication (Aldactone and Loniten) and stopped short-term use of Prednisolone, but the symptoms haven't stopped. How should I approach this?

Is chinen salt a legitimate replacement for metformin, and can it help cleanse the liver to reduce insulin resistance, or is this just another hyped-up product approach to a serious problem?
