My scalp is itching intensely, sometimes with flakes, and I recently got mosquito bites on my lower legs that are causing widespread itching. I'm worried about potential underlying diseases, cancers, or conditions like MS or fibromyalgia.

I have severe pain in my stomach, groin, and around the base of my *****, am very bloated, feel nauseous, and cannot find a position to stop the pain. I've had this pain for 2-3 weeks and it has gotten a lot worse. I have Parkinson's disease and bipolar disorder, and I've had a CAT scan which came back normal. I've also been experiencing extreme fatigue, sleeping 20-22 hours a day, not eating much but perpetually thirsty, and night sweats. What could be causing this pain and what should I do?

My son might be having an allergic reaction to something he was eating. He says he feels a lump in his throat and thinks he's having a hard time breathing. I don't see any signs of him struggling to breathe. When did the allergic reaction start? Has your son ever experienced anything like it before? What are all the medications he's currently using? Anything for the allergic reaction specifically? Anything else in his medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I have Restless Body Syndrome (RLS) that mostly affects my trunk area, starting during my sixth month of pregnancy and persisting since then. I am 38 years old, currently using CBD, and have been tested for iron deficiency but showed sufficient levels. However, I have been turned away from donating blood due to low iron levels and am currently on iron supplements. My symptoms include a sensation similar to claustrophobia combined with antsiness, which increases until my body jolts in a panicky manner. What should I do next for my condition?
