I was taking Ambien for sleep, but a neurologist diagnosed me with memory loss (Alzheimer's disease) and advised me to stop taking Ambien due to potential brain damage. I have tried ZzzQuil without success.

I would like to know how I can cleanse my body. Any advice? I don't have major health issues, but I sometimes throw my back out and have headaches once or twice a month. My blood work is normal, and I take vitamins and take care of myself. I had a brain tumor (Meningioma, 3.5 cm diameter) removed nine months ago, and I still have some pain around the surgery area, though it's tolerable. I am a 51-year-old female.

My right lower rib cage is hurting, making it hard to breathe deeply, and feels crampy. The whole right side is in pain. Should I go to the hospital? I took a muscle relaxer, cyclobenzaprine, but it's not working.

My bladder hurts for days after ejaculation, whether it's from sex or not. I have been tested for STDs and UTIs, and both tests came back negative. The pain is becoming unbearable and worsens each time. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have shingles and have been taking antiviral medication and Gabapentin 300mg tid with Motrin or Tramadol for three weeks. The shingles outbreak occurred on my left side, causing back pain, but now the back pain is gone, and my abdomen is swelling to the size of a grapefruit under my rib cage on the left side. The swelling feels like fluid inside a large mass and is extremely painful and uncomfortable. I saw a doctor who ordered an ultrasound. What could be causing this swelling, and is it related to shingles or the medications I'm taking?
