I'm feeling really worried because I've been experiencing giddiness off and on for the past year. Last year, an X-ray showed my cervical spine is straightened. Then in March this year, tests showed my vitamin D and B12 levels were really lowat 6 and 190, respectively. After taking supplements for two months, I expected some improvement, but I'm still dealing with the same giddiness, plus pain and depression. It's really impacting my ability to focus at work because I'm constantly anxious about this. I've been told to keep up with the supplements for another two months, but I'm wondering if there's anything else I should be doing to help myself mentally cope and gain the confidence to go out alone. Any advice on what steps I should take next would be really appreciated.

Stay Consistent with Supplements: Continue your vitamin D and B12 supplementation, as per your doctors instructions, but follow up in a couple of months for additional testing. Neck Exercises: Try to incorporate neck stretches and gentle mobility exercises to improve spinal health. Practice Relaxation: Incorporate some mindfulness exercises like deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or meditation into your routine to manage anxiety and tension. Small Steps: Try to gradually engage in small activities that take you outside your home. You could start with something simple, like going for a short walk or sitting in a park, and work your way up from there. This can help you regain confidence and reduce fear.

I'm experiencing this intense headache that seems to start from the back on the left side of my head, but it only happens during orgasm. There's no lingering effect afterward, and everything else like my diet and sleep is normal. It's kind of worrying me, and I'm curious about what might be causing this. Any idea what could be going on?

It sounds like the headache could be related to a tension or vascular response triggered during orgasm. While it's not uncommon for certain activities to cause temporary discomfort, if this continues, I recommend consulting with a doctor to rule out any underlying neurological issues. In the meantime, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with proper sleep, hydration, and stress management is important.

My daughter is 5 years old and she's been having seizures since she was nine months old. She's currently taking Valproin, Cloba, and Topamax, but the seizures still happen when she has a fever. I'm really worried and not sure what more we can do. Could you help us understand what's going on and what steps we might take next?
