I'm taking vertin and stemetil for my vertigo just like my doctor recommended, but I'm still having one or two vertigo episodes even with the meds. Plus, it seems to happen more when my stomach's empty. Is this normal? I've also had migraines for 20 years now. Does vertin actually stop vertigo completely?

You seem to be suffering from vestibular migraine. You may need long term migraine prophylaxis. Simple anti vertigo medicines are not really useful

View allI've been dealing with a bulging disc at L4 L5 S1 on my right side, and I used to get this electric shock-like pain down my right leg when sleeping, walking, or sneezing. But now the pain has switched to my left leg in the same area, and the worst part is I'm getting that shooting current-like pain in my left front thigh joint when walking. Is there any way this can heal completely without needing surgery?
Your symptoms suggest bilateral nerve involvement. Non-surgical options like physiotherapy, posture correction, and medications can help, but MRI and expert evaluation are essential.

I'm experiencing these weird vibration-like shock waves that go from my left shoulder to my left hand. It's been happening on and off for about a month now. Im a bit concerned and curious about what might be causing it. Any ideas on what could be going on?
I recommend taking Tab Pregabalin 75mg once daily at night for relief. Additionally, you can apply Volini gel locally on the affected area for symptomatic relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a neurologist for further evaluation and management.

My child was just diagnosed with mitochondrial progressive external ophthalmoplegia and they're recommending surgery for drooping eyelids. How bad does this condition usually get over time? Could it become fatal or lead to complete vision loss? I know there's no cure yet for this rare disorder, but I'm really worried about how it progresses and what to expect in the later stages. Can you give some insight on what the final stages might look like?
Mitochondrial disorders progress slowly—eyelid surgery may help vision, but long-term effects vary—regular neuro follow-up is key.
