My wife has been an undiagnosed diabetic until about 10 years ago. About 3 years ago, she finally went to the MD. The diagnosis was made but by now she has major problems. She is legally blind. Treatment has been aggressive but not successful. She has been in the hospital for one and is being treated for pneumonia and congestive heart failure which have apparently been corrected. She was scheduled for an ocular procedure. She was given 4 eye drops (Alphagen, Xalatan, Azopt & Istalol) and Diamox. She is currently experiencing illusions (talking to people not in the room, our dog, etc.). She is seeing a nephrologist, cardiologist, neurologist plus her primary care MD. How can we be of assistance?

I am feeling very itchy all over my body in different parts every 20 seconds or so for the last 3 weeks. I am also feeling somewhat tired after an average day. My ex told me she had papilloma 4 weeks ago, so naturally, I am paranoid. I have no physical signs of warts and no issues with urination. I have always had protected sex, including with her. Do I have papilloma, and what should I do about the itching?
