Question

I've been dealing with persistent headaches for the past six years and whenever I have one, I usually take either Migranil or Topaz. The problem is that these medications don't seem to provide quick relief. I'm getting frustrated and worried. Could there be a reason why they're not working that well for me? Is there anything else I can try or do differently?

Question

I'm a 35-year-old IT professional, and I've been dealing with these persistent brain issues. It's like my brain just doesn't want to think clearly anymoreeverything feels so foggy, and I can't focus at all. My concentration and mental abilities seem to be getting worse, and on top of that, I keep forgetting simple things. Even writing documents at work is turning into a real challenge. It's really affecting my professional life. I'm wondering, what can I do to get rid of this brain fog? Should I see a psychiatrist, or is there some medication that might help? I'd love some guidance on this.

Question

I've been dealing with some weird numbness in my left leg, specifically below the knee and above the foot. It all started after I was sitting for a while with my legs stretched out. I thought it was just the usual numbness from stretching and figured it would go away, but it's still there, and I can barely feel anything in that area. Is this something I should be worried about, or is there anything I can do to make it go away faster?
