Question 1

I've been diagnosed with PIVD at L4-L5 and have been taking pregabalin NT along with calcium and vitamin D supplements for the past 8 months. Since surgery wasn't needed, I'm wondering how much longer I'll need to stay on these medications. Are there any long-term side effects I should be aware of with pregabalin NT or the supplements?

Accepted Answer

Long-term pregabalin use can cause dizziness, drowsiness, and weight gain. Supplements are safe unless overdosed. Continue meds until MRI and symptoms show complete relief.

Question 2

I've been experiencing something a bit unusual. Occasionally, when I touch my skin, it feels hot to me, but when I ask others to feel it, they say my skin's actually cold. At the same time, even though my body feels warm on the inside, I start feeling really cold when the fan is on a higher speed. I don't have any other symptoms and it doesnt seem like a fever because I feel normal otherwise. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

Accepted Answer

You may be experiencing a sensation of altered temperature perception, where you feel hot but others perceive your skin as cold. This phenomenon could be due to various reasons such as changes in blood circulation, nerve function, or even psychological factors. One possible explanation could be related to a condition called peripheral neuropathy, which can affect how your body senses temperature. I recommend you to take Acetaminophen 500mg for relief, and if the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
