I'm experiencing this strange internal vibration or buzzing sensation throughout my body, especially in my legs. It really becomes noticeable when I'm sitting or lying down almost like an electric current running through me. I've been on PPIs like ranitidine, rabeprazole, and omeprazole recently, though I only took the first two for a day each and omeprazole for four days. They also prescribed gabapentin, but I haven't tried it yet because I'm worried about the side effects. It's been weeks now, and while I initially thought this was all due to some acidity or acid reflux, what scares me more is my muscle mass seems to be disappearing. I can press or pull my muscles too easily, and sometimes I feel weak or numb and even have trouble breathing while reading or studying. What's going on with me?

Question

I'm really worried about my dad. He had a paralysis attack three years ago, and it's been tough since then. He's got 34 tiny blood clots in his brain, kidney issues, and arthritis. We've seen so many doctors and even had to put him on a ventilator twice. He's mostly bedridden now, and it seems like the paralysis has affected his tongue and mouth too. Sometimes he can open his mouth for food, and other times we have to do it for him. We've been to different hospitals, but we're still struggling to find a solution. Do you know what else we could try or maybe recommend hospitals with blood clot removing tech? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Question

I've been dealing with occipital neuralgia for about two years now, and nothing seems to be working despite all the doctor's visits. I'm really curious if you can provide a treatment that actually helps with this condition.
