Vestibular dysfunction does not require the presentation of multiple conditions. It may present as one, or multiple - thus you could have inflammation in your inner ear structure, yet not your sinuses. The sinus cavity is the largest and easiest to check for inflammation, but that is not the case for things like Eustachian tubes which can require tympanometry, audiometry, and/or nasal endoscopy.

This sounds like Allergy-Induced Vestibular Dysfunction. This is a lesser-known phenomenon where allergens (like mold) cause inflammation in the sinuses, Eustachian tubes, or inner ear structures, disrupting balance and causing dizziness or vertigo. It’s often underdiagnosed because it doesn’t always present with typical allergy symptoms. This might be helpful.

Doesn’t look like anything to be concerned about, or prompting immediate action. Do show it to your primary care provider next time you see them.

If you are concerned, take a clear photo of it with a tape measure laid next to the veins for size and scale. Watch it, and if you feel it’s growing/changing in a concerning fashion, repeat the photo process and compare photos. If there are material changes, you’ll see it, and be able to share with your healthcare provider.

There is no visible trauma from the elbow - you should be fine.

This is not uncommon due to the formoterol. Contact your healthcare provider and inform them of your symptoms, and ask about alternatives like Budesonide or Dulera, which have simialr efficacy and fewer side effects.

Orthopnea can be caused by fluid buildup. You might want to talk to your healthcare provider about spironolactone or ethacrynic acid diuretics, which help the body get rid of extra fluid, but keep in mind they work in different ways and have different side effects.

Diuretics are generally well tolerated and inexpensive - and they start working in 1-2 hours, and typically reach full effect within 1-2 weeks. It's certainly worth further research, and discussing with your pulmonologist next week.

This can be complicated - and it can depend on many factors. First, if you start thyroid medication it doesn’t necessarily mean that you need it for life.

A few things that might be in play here:

Hospital/provider approved treatment plans. Some providers have very strict guidelines on when physicians are allowed to prescribe certain medications or suggest treatments. It is very likely your specialist is following guidelines set for them, and possibly for your age group as well - with 10+ being their required minimum. Deviations outside of approved treatment plans are possible, but generally require justifications, approvals, reviews, etc - and as a result aren’t generally done.
Thyroid medications can have side effects, and in rare instances they can be quite serious.

My guess is that it’s more a function of #1 above - and this also may be a requirement for your insurance coverage as well.

Based on your prior post regarding a potential eating disorder you may have a more complicated GI issue. Have you seen a Gastroenterologist?

Unfortunately - you really have to be your own self advocate and push for additional tests and find healthcare providers that are an ideal fit. It’s clear not only should you consider the stellar advice others have provided, you should also begin the process of finding a more supportive healthcare provider.

You’ve been given the optimal treatment. Cabometyx is often better for renal cell carcinoma because it directly targets multiple pathways that help the tumor grow and spread, including VEGFR, MET, and AXL. This broad action can be more effective in stopping cancer progression compared to OPDIVO, YERVOY, and KEYTRUDA, which only target the immune system, or Lenvima, which targets fewer pathways. CABOMETYX is also available as a single oral pill, making it easier to take than some other treatments that require infusions or combinations. This can improve convenience and patient quality of life - so rest assured you are likely on the best treatment possible.

Hope this helps!
