Also, I am currently on an antibiotic. Will it affect the potency of that? How long are most people on Protoix? Does it work?

I have had a sharp pain in the center of my stomach, and it has gone on for like three weeks now, off and on. It happens especially before and after I eat, but it will not go away quickly, I have to lay down or sit. Also, my gallbladder is out, but when I get that sharp center pain it radiates to my lower shoulder blade and my lower back hurts sometimes too.Please advise, my doctor gave me these new acid pills called Zuregis or something like that but they do not seem to be helping.I am getting tired of having this pain and not be able to do anything to help it.I have also felt nausea too.Please suggest or advice. Thank You!
Note--I am 23 years old and have had my gallbladder removed this same year.

When i was 11, when i used to run about i found it hard to breathe and i hardly could breathe properly for about 1-2Minutes. Then when i was 12, 13 it didnt happen much so i didnt tell my mum about it. But the last week its happened everyday and its getting longer now around 4-5 Minutes. Sometimes i have to force a yawn just so i can breathe. Should i tell my mum about it? Anyone think they no what might be causing it? Or will it go away?

A friend of mine work with someone who is bi-polar. The guy is a little higher up but acts jealous of my friend. The creepy part, I've caught him staring at my friend and staring at me different times. I just smile wave and get a way as fast as possible. His body lang. is totally off.
Do you think this guy will snap? Oh, the reason why I know he is bi-polar is wife told me.

Over the past year or so, I wake up with upper right back pain. It is very inconsistent and can go a few weeks without any pain and then a few weeks with pain every morning. I usually wake from my sleep and can't get back to sleep. I've gotten an MRI and nothing showed up. The back specialist said he saw nothing physicially wrong with my back. My primary physician suggested it may be acid reflux, but I don't believe it is as I don't feel like I have acid reflux.

What could be wrong with my back?

A friend of mine has been diabetic since he was 11 y.o. He is 55 now. He had a kidney transplant a couple of years ago, but the new kidney is now only 20% functional because of the BK-virus. He started having problems with his legs about 6 months ago and now he can not feel one of his feet and can barely limp on the other one. Doctors say that the nerve in one foot died and the other foot will always be swollen and hurt quite a bit.

Somebody recommended Vanadyl Plus, but it is too toxic for the transplanted kidney.

I wonder if anybody knows of any treatment for such complications from diabetes. We need something that would work for a type 1 diabetes patient with a kidney transplant.

I am not writing this for any of you to feel sorry for me.
I just need and answer to this.
I was born Premature, so The chances I would have a problem with me was positive. They found a problem with my right eye.
They attempeted 6 surgereys cause apprently i was losing vision with that eye, but the retnia detached and I haven't been able to see out of that eye since then, plus The pupil turned in a bit.
I'm not hadicapped or anything but the people at my school always treat me like that. They also tease me about my glasses and constantly look at me closely and ask what the hell is wrong with me. My eye doctor told me that there was a surgerey avalible to striaghten my eye and look "normal," But My mom Is forcing me to wait till next year to get it done
All I'm asking is that i need a way to deal with the teasing
with the upcoming school year cause I've just about had it with the people that tease me everyday.
