I'm really concerned about what my doctor said about having weak nerves, and now I'm also dealing with a slip disc. Can nerve weakness be treated? I just really want to understand if there's hope for improvement.

Question

I'm really worried about my wife's situation. She's been having this constant pain and numbness in her calf whenever she tries to sleep at night, and it's really affecting her sleep. We recently did a full blood test, and everything seemed almost normal. Someone suggested she should start taking B complex, so we've been trying that. But is there anything else we can do to get rid of this nighttime calf pain for good?

Question

I'm really worried about my brother. He had his first seizure about 6 years ago and it turned out to be a small non-cancerous tumor in his brain. They operated on him back then and hes been on medication ever since. We were told the meds would stop any future seizures, but hes had three in the last year. The first two happened because he accidentally missed his meds, but the third one is a mystery because hes been following his medication routine perfectly. I'm trying to understand what else could be causing these seizures. Could you help me figure out all the possible reasons why this is happening?

Question

I'm currently taking valprol CR300 twice a day and I'm 59 years old, weighing about 70kgs. I just got my blood tests back and my triglyceride levels are at 260. I'm wondering if this could be because of the medication? What other side effects should I be aware of? Is it safe for me to stop taking this medicine? I've had two epilepsy attacks, one in August 2014 and another in March 2015. Any advice would be appreciated.
