I've been experiencing a variety of symptoms since late July, including dizziness, general unwellness, lower back pain, sciatic nerve pain, asthma, sore throat, night sweats, swollen lymph nodes, foot drop, nerve damage, abnormal EKG, heart palpitations, double vision, hearing loss, fuzzy vision during dizzy spells, weight loss, and muscle loss. I've had a history of gout, Raynaud's syndrome, arthritis, and potential rheumatoid arthritis. I'm also on a waiting list to be tested for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. What could be causing all these symptoms, and what tests should I ask my primary care physician to perform?

I have a high RBC count, hemoglobin, and TLC, along with symptoms like an inability to eat a lot of food, a severe cough, night sweats, fever, and tiredness. My symptoms worsen after meals and improve with exercise. My blood oxygen level and platelet count are normal. What could be causing these symptoms and what tests should I consider?

Is it normal to have a wrinkly appearance and numbness after using Nystatin and Peridex? I can't talk normally and am trying to avoid talking. There was some tissue loss on the left side, and I've been on a completely liquid diet. Does the tongue regenerate, and is it concerning if there's noticeable tissue loss when sticking the tongue out straight?

I need a colonoscopy, but I have severe allergic reactions to PEG, Polysorbate, and the sulfur family. My previous doctor allowed me to use Citrate magnesia as a prep, but the current gastro facility insists on using preps that contain these allergens. I'm concerned about potential adverse effects, especially since I would be asleep during the procedure. How can I find a gastro doctor in my area who is willing to be flexible with prep options, and are there other preps that do not contain these allergens? Additionally, is there a reason Citrate of Magnesia is not considered, as it worked for my first colonoscopy?

I had a rubber banding procedure for internal hemorrhoids 5 days ago. For the first 4 days, everything was normal, but on the 5th day, I noticed unusual bleeding and dark blood clots during bowel movements or when passing gas. I don't have pain or other discomfort except for the bleeding. What could be causing this and what should I do?
