I'm really worried about my mom. She's been diagnosed with paralysis, and she can't speak at all. Does this mean it's entirely due to paralysis? What should we do next?

Question

I've been having continuous dizziness for the past couple of days. Ive tried taking electrolytes and glucose and even had coffee to help with it, but nothing seems to work. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should try to feel better?

Question

What's vestibular migraine exactly? I've been experiencing some weird symptoms like being really sensitive to sounds, feeling nauseous, and sometimes I get this sudden dizzy feeling that makes it hard to walk for more than 10 minutes. And then there's this numb sensation in my feet that comes with the giddiness. Should I be worried about these symptoms, and are there precautions I can take?

Question

I've been experiencing these weird sensations, like tingling or something crawling on my chest and abdomen. This all started after I injured my upper lower back and hip about 8 years ago during a stunt. Since then, I've had constant issues with pain in my lower and upper back, shoulders, and even my biceps. There's also numbness in my middle toe, and my shoulders make this clicking noise whenever I raise my arm. Plus, I've noticed that my lower back and hip areas have gotten darker. Oh, and I've got a hookworm infection too. I'm really concerned if this is more about a parasite issue or if it's related to my nerves. Its been going on for so long, and I'm just not sure whats happening. What could this possibly be?
