I'm dealing with this recurring swelling and pain near my occipital area, and I've been seeing a doctor for a while now, but there's still no clear diagnosis. Right now, I'm on some tablets they prescribed, but the relief is just temporary, and the swelling seems to pop up all the time. Could you suggest any other approaches or tests that might help pinpoint the problem and get it treated effectively?

I've been dealing with ocular myasthenia gravis since November 2016. I had a blood report and a CT scan in 2017, which were normal, but then another CT scan in 2018 showed some infection. A chest specialist suggested doing a FOB, and when I asked about how my ocular myasthenia could affect the FOB check-up, the doctor mentioned there's no connection. When I asked about possible infection in the thymus gland according to the CT scan, the doctor said there wasn't one. They mentioned these infections could be pneumonia and might be linked to the prednisolone tablets I'm taking, but these infections weren't there before. Can you guide me on if this is the right approach? An ophthalmologist gave me a Botox injection in my right upper eyelid in January 2017 without doing the ice pack test, Musk test, or diagnosing myasthenia gravis. What role does an FOB play in handling ocular myasthenia gravis?

I'm concerned about my dad who's been on Maxnuron LC for nerve strength for about three weeks now. I'm wondering if it's okay to add the meds I've attached to this message to his routine, or if they might be serving the same purpose as Maxnuron LC. It's important to me to ensure there aren't any overlapping medications or potential interactions. Could you help clarify this for me?

I've been dealing with some issues after testing positive for COVID-19 back in September. Initially, I only lost my taste and smell, and while I did test negative after two weeks, I'm still having trouble. It's been over a month now, and although my sense of taste is slowly coming back, it's nowhere near normal. Plus, I keep getting headaches. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on and how to recover fully?
