I’m currently taking 25mg of Lyrica 3x daily for trigeminal neuralgia (TN2) symptoms, but it’s not strong enough and I’m considering increasing the dose to 50mg or switching to Gabapentin. Is it safe to increase my Lyrica dose, and if I switch to Gabapentin, how long should I wait to make a safe switch?

My auntie has borderline diabetes and high cholesterol. She is taking Glucophage XR 750 twice a day for diabetes to control her sugar levels and lose weight. However, she feels very nauseous, has a full and heavy stomach, is very tired, and has low energy. She is also taking medicines like Nexium and Dumby for an upset stomach. What should she do about these side effects?

I have COVID and am out of town. My son is pushing me to get Paxlovid. My doctor said no. She’s functional medicine. Not sure what to do. I feel awful with symptoms like a stuffed head, slight cough, chills, stomach ache, dizziness, and likely a fever. I'm on many supplements and compounded medications. What should I do?

I received a DUI and have noticed that my blood alcohol content (BAC) is unusually high even with minimal alcohol consumption, despite not feeling drunk. My general doctor was unsure what could be causing this. What kind of doctor should I see to investigate this issue?

I'm 3 weeks postpartum after a straightforward vaginal delivery with a healthy baby. I have a history of twins birthed vaginally 5 years ago. Starting day 4/5 postpartum, I began experiencing very sore/tender areas in my stomach, particularly just under the bellybutton, the left side of the belly button, upper stomach, and around the sides to my obliques. I initially thought it was due to the birth, but now, 3 weeks later with no improvement, I'm wondering if it might be something else. I have no fever and no loose stools. I have an urgent care appointment tomorrow, but I'm seeking any insight you might have.
