I weigh 15 stone and am on 160mg of methadone a day. What amount of methadone would be lethal for me, and what level should I avoid to prevent accidental overdose, given that I have inflammatory rheumatoid arthritis and often self-medicate with methadone due to past addiction issues preventing other doctors from prescribing alternative pain relief?

I am a 25-year-old female experiencing intense burning and discomfort during sex with my boyfriend. I have been with the same partner for 3 years without any previous issues. My GP took two smear tests that were non-interpretable and referred me to an NHS gynecologist for a colposcopy due to my inflamed cervix. All sexually transmitted disease tests and a thrush test came back negative. I was prescribed antibiotics for a possible bacterial infection, but they did not alleviate the pain. What could be causing this pain during sex?

I am a 54-year-old woman who had a hysterectomy in 1978 and was prescribed Premarin for hot flashes, which caused hair loss. I am currently taking Avalide, Bumex, Potassium, Naproxen, and an Albuterol inhaler when needed. My hair loss started after being put on Premarin, and my head sweats excessively and gets extremely hot when I sweat. Should I have my thyroid checked, and is there something more natural I can take for my hair loss?

My father has been experiencing intense stomach pain, vomiting, and dramatic weight loss for about a year. He has had numerous tests, including gastroscopies, colonoscopies, capsule endoscopy, abdominal ultrasounds, CT scans, and blood tests, but no definitive diagnosis has been made. He has a pattern of being fine for 2-3 weeks, then suddenly needing hospitalization for a week or two. What could be causing these symptoms, and what further tests or treatments should be considered?
