I'm really struggling with migraine headaches that I've been dealing with for over 15 years now. I usually take Naprosen when the pain becomes unbearable, but I used to take Rizact before. I haven't been able to figure out what's triggering them since no specific food seems to be causing it. I do notice that lack of sleep or disturbed sleep sometimes leads to a headache. What can I do to avoid these headaches or stop them right when they start?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's constantly saying that her head is spinning and I'm wondering if that's something serious. Which type of doctor should we see for this kind of issue?

Your mother may be experiencing vertigo, which is often related to issues with the inner ear or balance. A neurologist or an ENT specialist (Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor) would be the right choice to help diagnose and treat her symptoms.

How long do damaged nerves take to heal?

Regeneration time depends on how seriously your nerve was injured and the type of injury that you sustained. If your nerve is bruised or traumatized but is not cut, it should recover over 6-12 weeks. A nerve that is cut will grow at 1mm per day, after about a 4 week period of 'rest' following your injury.
