I have a very serious rare brain infection that feels like knives are cutting into my skull. I've gone to a neurologist and primary care doctor, but the neurologist doesn't deal with infectious diseases. I have a stiff neck and blurry vision, and this has been going on for a long time. What should I do?

I am concerned about potential pancreatic issues due to six weeks of abdominal and back pain, constipation, sensitivity to spicy foods, and a slight weight loss while on a keto diet. My CBC was good, total bilirubin was 1.2, and other liver enzymes were normal. An ultrasound was done but results will take five days. I am 60 years old with a BMI of 27, good health, and have had IBS with diarrhea in the past. No nausea, vomiting, or fever. A CT scan was denied by insurance for now. What should I do next?

I woke up with a swollen lip with no pain. I take blood pressure medication, had a beer and chips last night, and drank a lot of water today, which is making me jittery. What could be causing the swelling, and what should I do about it?

I have had chronic constipation since I was a teenager and I am now 43 years old. I also have a history of h pylori and don’t have a healthy gut. What is the safest way to get regular, and how much water do you recommend?
