I misread numbers a lot, for example I had to do an essay of 2000 words I clearly saw 2000 but days later I heard it was 1000 and I went to check it again and it was seriously 1000. And whenever I see on my laptop huge paragraphs all over my screen, my eyes feel weird like I cant focus or something. Is it normal?

Female | 19

You could have an e­ye issue called asthe­nopia. It happens when your eye­s get tired from reading words or scre­ens for too long. Some reasons are­ looking at screens for hours or using the wrong glasse­s. To help, take breaks ofte­n, adjust the lighting, and maybe get an e­ye exam for new glasse­s.

Can i marry a girl who having sero negative Nmo disease? Is nmo effect pregnancy?

స్త్రీ | 25

 NMO, short for Neuromyelitis Optica, is an autoimmune disease that hits the nervous system and is likely to be rare. It is marked by the presence of a range of symptoms such as for example vision impairment, muscle weakness, and bladder control problems. NMO by itself is indeed not the reason for pregnancy issues but making an appointment with the right doctor to talk about these issues is fundamental. They can assist in treating the disease.

I have been having muscle twitches in my shoulders arms and legs Also tingling in my hands and feet. Muscle weakness in my right arm and leg also ankle pain and trouble with speech and I have had and EMG and NCS test which have come back abnormal

Female | 26

Having symptoms like muscle twitches, tingling in your hands and feet, leg weakness, ankle pain, and difficulty speaking could indicate a nerve disorder. Abnormal EMG and NCS test results suggest nerve problems, possibly due to conditions like peripheral neuropathy or nerve injury. It's important to follow up with your doctor for further tests and treatment, which may include specialized tests, medications, or physical therapy, depending on the cause.

Dear Dr. My 15 year old has been diagnosed with generalized tonic clonic epilepsy. He has done 2 eegs. 1st eeg (done November 23) said it posterior dominant rhythm was 12 hz. The 2nd one (done November 24) said it's posterior dominant rhythm is 9 hz. 1st eeg: bilateral synchronous anterior predominant spikewave epiltiform recorded occuring isolated or 400-600 ms. 2nd eeg: bilateral synchronous anterior predominant spikewave epiltiform recorded at maximal @ FP@,F4,F8,FP1,F3,F7 in 600 ms. Stage II was obtained. Is there improvement between the 2 or has it worsened slightly? The Conclusiofor the 2nd was This was an abnormal awake, drowsy and stage II sleep electroencephalogram. Bilateral synchronous anteriorly predominant spike-wave epileptiform discharges were recorded as described above. In the correct clinical setting, these findings are suggestive of a genetic generalized epilepsy with the differential diagnosis of a frontal focus with rapid secondary bilateral synchrony. Is the conclusion serious?

Male | 15

Dear Parent, Thank you for your inquiry. The EEG results show some epileptiform activity that is ongoing, which can be of great concern. The change from a 12 Hz to a 9 Hz rhythm and being assured of the findings suggests that although there is some activity, it does not necessarily represent a change of the situation; rather, it may just indicate differences in the EEG readings. The summary implies that the patient may have a genetically generalized epilepsy that is treatable with continuous medical care. Please, I advise you to analyze the mentioned details with your doctor in order to have the necessary treatment and your child's support get quality. Best wishes, [Your Name]

Last year, I got sick pretty bad. It started with migraine like headaches then intense body pain and severe back and neck pain. It was followed by fatigue, muscle stiffness and dizziness. No amount of painkillers relieved the pain. I couldn't even walk properly, someone had to hold me to get through hospitals. I got several tests done including MRI, EEG, B12, vitamin tests, eye tests, CBC and X ray for my back. There were a few vitamin deficiencies but they shouldn't have caused that much pain according to the doctors, MRI was pretty much normal. There were few abnormalities with my XRay in spine but again they were mild and not severe enough to cause me such intense pain. I took medication or migraine, some medication to make my nerves strong and I think some anxiety meds because they suspected GAD (all were prescribed by doctors). Most physicians suggested I go to a psychologist and the psychologist referred me back to physicians and I went back and forth. I got better after bed rest but I had to go back to college because I was missing on my studies. But I fell sick again, cramps like pain, consistent fever but on and off. I got tested for typhoid and other things but absolutely nothing. Then I went to a neuropsychiatrist who told me I had fibromyalgia, it aligned pretty well since I always had memory gaps as well and I've been concerned about it for a while. The medication he gave me worked, I for the first time in months started feeling better but as time passed by, it stopped working for me. I couldn't continue the medication due to expenses as well. So, I've been in pain ever since. When I've had a tiring day the pain is bad, when I am stressed it's worse. Every morning I wake up with pain and every night I go to bed in pain cuz it's worse in the mornings and night. If I rest too much, that's painful and if I don't that's painful too. Fever also shoots up every now and then. My body is in pain and exhausted, everything is difficult, walking up or down the stairs. Although some days it's better but other days it's difficult to even move, painkillers do absolutely nothing. I don't know what to do anymore

Female | 19

It could be fibromyalgia. This condition causes widespread pain in your body along with tenderness too – plus other things like being tired often or having trouble sleeping well. However, there are ways to handle this. For example, physical therapy might help ease some of the hurt; moderate activities such as walking or swimming could be beneficial because they won’t make the ache worse but can still keep muscles from getting too stiff; also relaxation methods (e.g., mindfulness meditation/deep breathing) may relieve stress which often worsens any existing discomfort. Besides that, proper rest is crucial, so try getting enough sleep each night; nutrition matters, so eat healthily; don’t push yourself too hard.

Parkinson's disease­ affects movement from brain ce­lls misfiring. Early signs are shakes, stiffness, walking trouble­. A cure hasn't been found ye­t, but medication can relieve­ symptoms. Physical activity and nutritious food also help manage the condition. If it worse­ns, surgery might be an option. Although it's difficult, stay hopeful and liste­n to your doctor for optimal treatment.

I was having a mild UTI infection for which I did a course of k ston, rotec and cefspan for 7 days. Now UTI symptoms have recovered but I feel numbness and pain in legs and feet. My body shakes and I feel weakness I can't bend my head as it feels my body is moving back and forth. Sometimes I also feel acidity, my head and neck hearts

Female | 21

You might be suffering from some adverse reactions to the medications you took for your UTI. Numbness, pain in legs and feet, body shaking, weakness, difficulty bending your head, acidity, and headache can be the side effects of the medicines. In cases like this, the medicines might not be suitable for your body. Make sure to tell your doctor about these symptoms for him to give you the right advice.

Male | 18

You se­em down about not smelling or tasting. Plus, that headache­ is tough. A cold or sinus issue might cause this. Stay hydrated. Re­st up. Try decongestants and antihistamines if ne­eded. But if it worsens or linge­rs, see a doctor.
