Have chronic pain; hence, the morphine, hydrocodone, and Cymbalta. *Undiagnosed, virulent skin rash from top of head to toes for the last 2+ yrs. Most 'bites' bleed profusely when the scabs come off during a shower or at any other time. There is similarities of shapes, colors, and textures in all of the debris that come out during the bleedings and 'leavings' wherever I sit, stand or sleep. *Periods of chronic depressions. *Hypothyroidism. *Long-Q Syndrome of the heart *Agoraphobia *ADD ~ hypo, not hyper *Had a full hysterectomy due to endometrosis, 1979. *Surgery on left knee for torn meniscus disc, 1993; 2nd surgery at same location in 1994 to remove disc chips that remained in kneecap after 1st surgery. *Had 1 child, female, 1968. *In my childhood, had tonsils and adnoids removed; later, had an appendectomy. **Since childhood, have been fatigued, and chronically constipated. Diagnosed as IBS, diverticulosis (or -litus?). Other diagnoses include: fibromyalgia or myofibralgia (?); arthritis; hypo- (when one's sugar goes low quickly) (I can't remember anything right now.).

Dear Doctor, A synopsis of my first message and question is: I am traveling this week and have acquired a cold/flu/whatever that is laying me low. I am concerned about OTC cold medicines interacting with my current medications, which are as follows: Amphetamine Salts ~ 45 mg in AM/ 45 mg at mid-day/ 30 mg in late afternoon. For ADD, HYPO, not hyper. For chronic back pain from T-5 thru C1 or 2 ~ Morphine Sulfate, 30 mg every 12 hrs./ Cymbalta, 60 mg in AM/ 30 mg at nighttime./ Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen 10-325, one-two tabs every 4 hours as needed for breakthrough pain./ Synthroid, 112 mcg in AM for HYPOthyroidism,/ Furosemide, 40 mg once a day in AM,/ Spironolacatone, 50 mg once in AM ((both for edema and heart),/ Alprazolam, 0.5 mg once at bedtime or during the day for anxiety. Can you help me? Cordially, XXXX
