Answered on 12th Feb '25
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune condition that affects muscle strength, leading to fatigue and weakness. Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) can also contribute to these symptoms, as it encompasses various autoimmune features. Abnormal findings on your PET scan can be concerning, but a second opinion is a prudent step. I recommend discussing your results with a neurologist who specializes in these conditions. They can provide tailored insights and potential treatment options to ensure comprehensive care.

I have some memory issue I forget things very easily Tingling sensation in hand and feet Headache Weakness
Female | 17
The possibility that a person may have memory problems, tingling in the hands and feet, headaches, or muscle weakness suggests that there may be a shortage of specific vitamins in his/her body like vitamin B12. Taking vitamin B12 could assist in this deficit and could be found in meat and dairy products.

Hello doctor، I got an illness 12 months ago because of a pain in my neck، then my hands stopped moving and then I couldn't walk، then I lost my breathing، I was on a ventilator for 3 months، after 2 months I got better، my legs started moving but I took a pill and my legs it was disabled ، my arm is bent and now I'm fine at home but my legs don't work، I can't walk. I'm in Kurdistan and the doctors are hesitant. I have a disease that many people say is Gillian Barry syndrome or Myelitis, should I come out of the country or Europe, it's good for me?, thank you.
Male | 15
The signs of your disease, such as immobility and the respiratory issues, imply the development of an autoimmune condition such as Guillain-Barre or myelitis. It's necessary to visit a specialist and get suitable drugs. If the domestic health institutions do not want to take that risk, you may go for care abroad where you can find special rehabilitation centers. Make sure to seek advice and assistance from the doctors who treat you as well as get any therapy you need.

I am 48 years old male...I have severe headache from tomorrow morning. I have taken some pain killers but feel no relief.what could I do now.
Male | 48
Headaches are one of the most common health problems, and they can be brought about by stress, lack of sleep, dehydration, and so on. Now that the medications you consumed are no longer effective, how about if you would like to use relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, drinking water, or applying a cold compress to your head?

I'm 17 years old. I'm having sleep problems.i can't sleep properly in night, it's almost took me 2 hours to sleep even after closing my eyes. And in day time , my eyes started to burning
Female | 17
Seems like you might have insomnia, that is the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep. If you can’t fall asleep at night this can cause tired eyes that burn all day long. Stress, caffeine and use of screens before bedtime are some common reasons why teenagers suffer from this condition. Establishing a night time routine, avoiding caffeine and switching off the screens before going to bed may help improve your sleeping patterns.

I am paraplegic due to spine Tumour is it can be recovered may I walk again?
Female | 28
Spine tumour leading to paraplegia is a disease that requires specialist care. It is best to work with a neurologist or spine specialist who will evaluate your situation and advise you of any possible treatment alternatives. Recovery, that is to walk again is dependent upon the tumour type and extent of spinal cord damage.

I face severe headache problem
Female | 20
Myocardial infarctions are the leading cause of the medical field's death, which can be traced back to a bunch of varieties like stress, migraines, and sinus troubles. Common signs and symptoms of the disorder are a pulsating or beating headache, being sensitive to light, and the on-and-off feeling of nausea. Relieving the pain always goes hand in hand with getting enough water, doing away with stress through relaxation techniques, and having regular sleep patterns. Over-the-counter pain medication can, likewise, be helpful. However, if hyperemia develops or worsens, consult a neurologist.

Urgent- I am 53 old male with history of restless leg syndrome from approx. 20 years. With time it as become more severe as because I can’t sleep for many nights. By advance diagnosis doc discover i lack in dopamine production. I am having depressing thoughts .. can u give me promising treatment?
Male | 53
No single "promising treatment" will work for everyone with restless leg syndrome. Commonly recommended treatments include medications, lifestyle changes, and physical therapies. Medications and treatments can be prescribed only after a proper diagnosis. Rest you should avoid caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco to reduce the severity of symptoms. Physical therapies such as stretching, massage, and yoga can help relieve muscle tension and improve sleep quality. It is also important to discuss any feelings of depression with your doctor and consider seeking therapy or counseling.

Male | 35
You probably have a migraine. A migraine can be characterized by a very severe stabbing headache over one side of the head. Other symptoms you may encounter are light and sound sensitivity. Stress, a lack of sleep, some foods, or hormonal changes are among the common causes. For example, you can use these methods if you have headaches: try to rest in a dark, quiet room, drink plenty of water, and avoid triggers like caffeine and processed foods.

Male | 23
Headache with fever, stiff neck, and nausea along with them could be a serious matter. These symptoms, especially the worsening headache, might indicate meningitis, which is a swelling around the brain. In most cases, this is due to infections. If you have suffered a head injury recently, it becomes even more crucial for you to get checked by a neurologist urgently.

I get these severe headaches that's starts from my eyes Before the actual headache starts my eyes gets like the rippling water effect that starts from the outer of the eyeball As theat progresses I get this severe headache on either side of my brain towards the centre where it feels like a stabbing pain. Sometimes my ears start painingand the headache lasts for 3-5 hours where I have to stop what I'm doing and lay down and take a pain tablet and sleep. Even while my eyes are closed I see the rippling water. Sometimes I get it 2-3 times in a day and I'm totally drained out. Even when the headaches stop the brain still pains for days...a simple cough and my brain pains. I also get very hot and perspire. Sometimes my face feels numbs and I feel almost lifeless and don't want to talk or move that's how severe the pain is. What is this?
Female | 51
Your migraine headache disorder could be a possible cause. You may experience severe pain on one side of your head and even have visual disturbances, like a "rippling water" effect, before the headache starts. Sensitivity to light and sound, along with numbness or weakness, can also happen during a migraine attack. The key is to identify and avoid potential triggers such as stress, lack of sleep, and certain foods. Keeping a headache journal can help you spot patterns. You can also try relaxation techniques, maintain regular sleep routines, and take prescribed medications to prevent or treat migraines. It's important to seek medical advice from a neurologist for a personalized treatment plan.

Hellp! I am someone with MS. I have very low vitamin D levels and have had that flr a while. I an currently experiencing pain in my left leg. In both knee and thigh. I have pain and can not stand on it as usual. It is the second time in less than 2 weeks (my knee, first time)
Female | 25
Lack of vitamin D levels in the case of multiple sclerosis patients may be responsible for muscle pain on some occasions. You should be getting enough vitamin D from sunlight or a supplement of vitamin D. Besides that, you can try to make the tension loosen or apply a warm compress to stop the pain. If the pain continues, go to a doctor to get professional advice.

Male | 28
When you have vertigo, you may feel like everything is spinning around you; however, this can be very frustrating if accompanied by tinnitus. These two symptoms have been known to persist even after an MRI scan or physical therapy has been done. It’s a good thing that your HRCT scan was normal. In this situation, I would advise you to see an ENT specialist so they can find out more about what might be causing them internally and from outside sources like infections, etc.

One person is having headache due to literature and that too is not continuing. He does it once in an hour and that too for two to three seconds.
Male | 24
It sounds like the person might be experiencing what's called a "literature-induced headache," which occurs briefly and intermittently. Although this seems harmless, it's advisable to consult a neurologist for a proper evaluation. They specialize in conditions affecting the nervous system, including headaches, and can provide appropriate advice and treatment.

Different things could lead to headaches, such as stress, dehydration, or lack of sleep. Please try drinking some water, staying in a calm place, and taking some deep breaks. Also, it is better to avoid being on screens for a while. Pack some regular meals and snacks as well. If the headache is still there or more severe, please seek medical help from a neurologist.

This type of headache can cause pain not only in the head but also in the eyes and sometimes even in the chest. It is often accompanied by severe chills and body aches. Finding a quiet, dark place to rest can help. Drinking water and taking pain relievers like paracetamol can also provide relief.

Female | 22
This condition called muscle twitches is typically benign, as it were. Stress, fatigue, or even the consumption of too much caffeine can be the causes of the condition. Try getting enough sleep, using relaxation techniques, and eating less caffeinated food. But if it still happens or becomes more intense, it's better to get it checked by a neurologist just in case.
