My sister-in-law is experiencing severe pain in her feet and face, which we believe is a porphyria attack. She is in urgent need of a porphyria specialist in the Baltimore Metro Area or within a couple of hours' travel distance. Johns Hopkins University Hospital has said they cannot help her due to her allergies to all the safe drugs for neuropathy listed by Dr. Bonkovsky. She has an appointment with a Johns Hopkins neurologist in May but may not be able to wait that long due to her condition's mental health component and excruciating pain. What can we do to find immediate help?

Is there a substitute product available that a man can use when testosterone is not recommended due to a history of prostate cancer, which was cured with radiation? I had received two Lupron shots prior to the radiation treatment. I cannot build up any muscle strength to help with my breathing due to COPD. I am 79 years of age with fairly good health otherwise. Any ideas?

For the past two days, I have had chills alternating with feeling very warm and sweating, indigestion sometimes, and feeling tired. No fever when I take my temperature, no pain, but some muscle aches. What could this be?

I have deltoid tendonitis that is more painful when lying down compared to being upright. This, combined with lower back pain, makes sleeping difficult. I have tried chiropractors and physical therapy with marginal results. I am looking for suggestions, including possibly going to Mayo for evaluation.
