Can Weight Loss Cure My Foot Socks Sensation?
Here is my story, Doctor. So, two years ago, I suddenly felt immense pain in my foot and got bedridden for almost three months. And then I rushed to a physician because at the time there was no neurologist in my city. The physician tested my vitamins and gave me some vitamins. It eventually got better and I was able to walk. I was overweight at that time and my physician told me that it's all because of weight. And then I lost almost 20 kilograms, but there was still feeling of socks. I don't feel any pain or anything, but I just feel like I'm wearing socks. Then after almost two years, I visited a neurologist with this and she tested my vitamins. She prescribed me vitamin D supplements since my vitamin D is at 12, but for one month. Nothing happened with this one month treatment. Then she did my NCV. She said my NCV reports are normal and has prescribed me some vitamins again. What do you think, how much time it would take to get completely cured?

Based on what you have told me, the peripheral disorder mentioned by the speaker is on track with peripheral nerve disease. In most cases, the feeling of socks on your feet could be easily attributed to peripheral neuropathy. You are lucky that your neurologist has done so many tests and that your vitamins and nerves are under control. Please continue to take the vitamins as per the doctor's prescription and remain patient. You will need some time to see improvements in your nerves. Also, keeping a check on your weight and living a healthy life will speed up your recovery while doing well.

why am I weak every time, dizzy,and sometimes collapse with headache and lose of appetite..
Female | 25
You may be wondering if you have an iron deficiency. Anemia is a condition that develops when your body does not have enough red blood cells to carry oxygen. This may result in fatigue and strange symptoms of dizziness and headaches. A decrease in appetite is another situation that is often found. Intake of green leafy vegetables like spinach, seeds high in protein like beans and lean meat may be helpful. Besides, your doctor may also bring up the consumption of iron supplements to improve your red blood cell count.

Seizures cause loss of consciousness, and jerky movements. They may stem from epilepsy, head trauma, medical issues. Evaluation and treatment from a neurologist is crucial. Medications and therapies help manage seizures, improving quality of life. It sounds like the patient could be experiencing seizures.

Patient got fever at first, in local hospital it was diagnosed as typhoid and she took treatment for 2 weeks then she was feeling good . Then after 3 days she again started vomiting and not able to drink aswell , so she was admitted to city hospital but nothing happened , they suggested neurologist visit. The neurologist did MRI and meanwhile she was loosing her eye sight gradually . Neurologist suggested to immediately move to bigger hospital , on the same night patient was admitted to jipmer multi-speciality hospital (Govt owned). From then last 25 days they are doing multiple tests for MS, NMOSD, AUTOIMMUNE, SPINAL ,EYE ,BLOOD,MRI. But all the reports are coming as negative nothing is diagnosed, meanwhile they are providing treatment like plasma therapy and patient totally lost vision, speech, mobility. Not sure what to do , can someone help us with further directions.
Female | 21
The person who lost vision, speech, and mobility is not positive news. Given the negative reports so far, it's clear that we have other plans in mind. Rare conditions also are a factor that needs to be considered. This included Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM) or any other rare unknown, and often under-reported neurological disorders that might be the cause of these symptoms. Discuss these issues with a neurologist for the best treatment.

Hallo, ich bin 52 Jahre Mann . Ich habe seit 4 Jahren Tremor in der rechte Hand, bei mir ist Parkinson diagnostiziert. Welche Behandlungsmethode ist für mich relevant, kommt die Stammzellentherapie in Frage?.
Male | 52
The tremor in the right hand can be annoying. Parkinson's disease is usually a result of a lack of a chemical in the brain called dopamine. The main treatment usually consists of medications that help control dopamine deficiency. Promising stem cell therapy research is found, but it remains a non-standard Parkinson's Disease treatment. One must have a conversation with their neurologist to decide the best option compatible with the individual.

Female | 28
Frequent headaches and tiredness lasting weeks can be hard to manage and may need proper attention. Common causes include stress, lack of sleep, dehydration, or medical issues like anemia or thyroid problems. Staying hydrated, resting well, managing stress, and eating a healthy diet are essential. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a neurologist for further evaluation.

I am suffering from hemifacial spasm. I want to cure it permanently. Pls help
Female | 38
A hemifacial spasm causes one side of your face to twitch involuntarily. This happens when a nerve gets irritated in your cheek area. Although uncontrolled facial twitching is unpleasant, treatment options like Botox injections or surgery exist. These can help relax the affected nerve, stopping the spasms. Such treatments aim to provide relief, improving your quality of life. So do not lose hope, as permanent solutions are available.

My girlfriend suddenly fell unconscious after crying so baldy and after waking up after 5 mins she couldn’t remember anything she even didn’t remember that we were calling
Female | 17
Your girlfriend fainted, it seems. Crying hard can make blood pressure drop - that makes people faint sometimes. She might've forgotten a bit too. Stay calm, reassure her. Let her rest, drink water, get fresh air. If it happens lots, see a neurologist.

I have been suffering from dizziness spells and poor balance, with buckling of knees and general weakness it lasts for 2-3 weeks and it's mostly starts with a severe one sided headache. The last episode was 3 months ago. Now I feel a bit out of balance and a bit weak in the knees. I have hypertension and it's controlled. When I went to the doctor for the three episodes of dizziness, the last time he said it's suspected MS but dismissed it after I felt better after I finished the medication. What should I do now?
Female | 28
The symptoms you mentioned may point to different causes like problems in the inner ear or variations in blood pressure. Since the last attack was a couple of months ago, it’s good that things have gotten better. Nonetheless, if they return or become worse than before, don’t hesitate to see your doctor immediately. Keep noting down how you feel and when it happens. Sharing this information with the doctor will assist in diagnosing what might be happening and devising an appropriate intervention plan.

Severe headaches that feel related to TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues can be distressing. It's important to consult a dentist or a specialist in oral and maxillofacial medicine for proper evaluation and treatment. They can assess if TMJ dysfunction is causing your headaches and recommend appropriate therapies or referrals for further management.

Many people feel sudden warmth, called hot flashes. These happen frequently for women, but men can get them too. Hormonal changes or reactions cause hot flashes.

Dizziness is often caused by things like not drinking enough water, having low blood sugar, problems with the inner ear, or even just feeling stressed out. It might be best if this has been happening for some time to go and see a doctor. The appointment would be with a healthcare provider who can know why you feel dizzy and will treat you.

Hello sir my mother is having paralyzed stroke and she is having nerves problem also kindly update me is it possible to operate
Female | 62
A paralyzed stroke is a condition where the blood supply to a certain part of the brain is minimal. This may, consequently, lead to nerve complications that can result in paralysis. Performing surgery on the brain in the case of stroke-related issues is rarely the first line of treatment after a stroke. Rather, the physicians place more emphasis on rehabilitation therapy to restore the patient's ability to walk and do everyday activities.

I am 18 years old boy and I have very mild epilepsy and I am on medication and not getting seizures. I want to take L- Citrulline as a pre-workout supplement. Is it safe ?
Male | 18
L-Citrulline is a supplement that is usually safe, but if you have epilepsy and are already taking medication, it is better to be careful. L-Citrulline may interfere with the medication you are taking for epilepsy, so it is best to consult a neurologist before introducing it to your routine. Your doctor will make sure it won't create any difficulties for you.

Male | 69
When someone has a stroke, it can affect their ability to speak, eat, and move. This happens because parts of the brain that control these things get damaged. It’s important for him to be monitored closely by medical professionals to provide proper care, support, and therapy to help him regain functions. Patience, love, and proper medical care are key in his recovery journey.
