My daughter has Hashimoto's thyroid and pernicious anemia, and is being treated with B12 and supplements. She has uncontrollable anxiety, OCD, and hand-washing to the point of cracking. She's tried various antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, Advil, and niacin, but nothing consistently works. What can be done or recommended for her?

This morning, I slipped and fell on ice, injuring my neck, back, wrist, and head. I'm experiencing severe pain and am unsure whether to go to the doctor, the hospital, or just rest at home. I've taken Tylenol but it hasn't helped. I also suffer from seizures, migraines, and back pain, which has worsened recently.

I picked up a toilet tissue that had blood on it, not after my own use. Someone moments earlier had accidentally dropped it on the floor. I threw it away. Later, I obsessively thought about the possibility that the person might have had HIV. Could I have contracted the virus by touching the tissue? I am not so concerned about myself as I would be about potentially transmitting HIV to others if I were infected. I had an HIV test in September 2018 that came back negative, and this toilet tissue incident would be the only exposure I had to another's bodily fluid in years.

I’m currently in the process of receiving rabies vaccine + pre/post exposure. I got my 2nd shot of the series yesterday and I had a few drinks tonight and didn’t think about if I could even consume alcohol with it. Should I be worried? Will the vaccine no longer work?
