Why Do I Experience Intense Pain, Fatigue, and Fever?
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

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.

Headache due to anesthesia injection after operation of Recurrent belanitis
Male | 24
Recurrent balanitis operation, like many other surgeries, has often anesthesia administration as a side effect that leads patients to experience post-operation headaches. This may be due to drinking too little water, using medications, or other problems with the disease. You have to see a physician or a neurologist for that to be examined and treated.

Based on the symptoms you have described, there is a huge chance that you may have vertigo, which is a disease that causes a man to feel dizzy and unstable. This may be due to malfunctions in the inner ear or injury of the brain. Sometimes the position you sleep in, turning to one side, may trigger these symptoms. Try to avoid sudden head movements, drink enough water, and get enough sleep to help. If the symptoms don't go away, see a neurologist for more tests.

Male | 69
The stroker or synchronized swimming effect of water can occur after a stroke due to weakness in the throat muscles. Ask the doctor if they can refer you to a speech therapist to help improve swallowing. They may also suggest safe methods for eating and drinking.

Male | 42
You are having stress and anxiety symptoms. Stress can result in poorer memory, anxiety, and distorted reality. Fatigue, perpetual gloom, and delusion are also possible indicators of stress. To feel better, engage yourself in some calming activities such as breathing deeply, speaking with someone you trust, or doing something you like, such as listening to music or taking a walk.

Remedies to decrease B6 levels . Due to high B6 levels my sensory nerves are paining. I stop taking B6 and numbness too in feet and burns
Male | 24
Excessive vitamin B6 results in nerve issues manifesting as foot pain, numbness, and burning. Reduce the intake of foods and supplements loaded with B6. Symptoms of tingling, weakness, and trouble walking may occur. Overdose of vitamins can result in these kinds of issues. E.g., a balanced diet low in B6 including bananas, potatoes, and chicken. Allow your body to slow down while it returns to the natural cycle.

Please is there anything I must know
Male | 20
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.

Suffered from stroke 8 months back since the patient is suffering from dysphagia. From the 8 months nothing improvement is shown in dysphagia. When he tries to eat something suddenly the cough comes. From 8 months feeding is from Ryles Tube. Sir please tell us what we can do
Male | 65
Some people have trouble swallowing after a stroke. This condition is called dysphagia, and it's common after a stroke. If someone coughs while eating, it could mean that food is going into their airways instead of their stomach. A feeding tube can help for a while. Speech therapy often helps people regain their ability to swallow over time. Keep in touch with your doctors to get the best care plan.

Male | 53
You can continue medicine as prescribed by your doctor but not to rely on just that. Mostly, surgery happens to be the commonest method to treat this life threatening condition. I suggest to get a second opinion from another neurosurgeon and discuss your case to get specific treatment advice for your situation.

When I was studying and learn I don't remember anything in exam and also distraction is high I can't focus on study so I heard about alpha gpc tablet that's why I want to ask what can I do , plz prescribed?
Male | 19
This might be a few things such as stress, sleeplessness, and bad food quality. Using alpha GPC tablets can be a way to boost your memory and concentration. But, first, you should deal with the main cause of your symptoms, such as not enough sleep, a balanced diet, and stress management. To improve your studying, you may want to make a study schedule, take breaks, and keep things organized.

Perhaps your radial nerve injury led to a permanent loss of finger extension. It is better to visit a neurologist or an orthopedic surgeon to get an accurate diagnosis and what the possible treatments could be. They may also refer you to a hand specialist if necessary.

Female | 17
You may have Meniere's disease. This condition makes you feel dizzy when you stand up. It also gives you long, bad headaches. Your ears may ring and hurt. Meniere's disease happens when fluid builds up in your inner ear. To treat it, doctors give medicine to reduce dizziness. You may also need to change your lifestyle to manage the condition. It is best to see a neurologist.

I have recently been experiencing heavy memory loss (ex. unable to remember names, forgetting how to do tasks, driving unknown places). I have an appointment but I'm unsure whether I should go to urgent care for this instead or not.
Female | 18
Forgetting names and tasks can be a worrisome problem. This can be due to various reasons like stress, sleep problems, or medical issues. It is commendable that you are thinking about your alternatives. Since memory loss affects everyday life, see a neurologist as soon as possible. They can be the ones to help identify the cause and recommend the necessary steps to enhance your memory.

The burning sensation in your feet is likely peripheral neuropathy. Diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, or nerve damage cause this condition. Eat healthy food. Exercise often. Wear comfy shoes and care for your feet properly. These steps can help ease discomfort. If not, visit a neurologist.

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.

These symptoms suggest an issue affecting the right side of your head, possibly linked to nerve-induced sound waves, headaches, and nausea. Conditions like tension headaches, migraines, or sinus problems could be causing this. It's important to stay hydrated, eat well, get enough sleep, and manage stress. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, consult a neurologist for proper evaluation and advice.
