I’m 42 years old with 7 children and no birth control. I use natural family planning. Recently, I’ve been taking norethindrone to delay my period and experienced migraines with auras, which I typically get only during pregnancy or postpartum. Is it dangerous to continue taking norethindrone occasionally, even if it triggers migraines/auras?

I have egg burps and my solar plexus and under aches so much and stops and then spreads to my side lower two ribs. It’s causing me to get goosebumps. Slightly nauseous to meat smells. I’m a 20-year-old female, three months postpartum, and experiencing stomach ache but no chest burns, diarrhea, or bloating initially. However, I just got diarrhea that smells like eggs and is now causing me to feel really cold. Is blood in diarrhea normal?

I had lab test results return with an elevated light chain number of 1.79 (threshold is 1.65). My electrophoresis protein panel was normal. I have a family history of amyloidosis. Should I have genetic testing, and if detected early, will it help with my long-term prognosis? Additionally, do kappa and lambda numbers fluctuate, and if I were to be tested again, could the ratio change?

I have been vaping and smoking marijuana daily for 6 years. Recently, during a bad cold, I coughed up greyish phlegm with black specks. I don’t have a persistent cough, but this phlegm appears infrequently. I have also been losing weight over the past few months. What are your thoughts on these symptoms?
