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?

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.

I'm looking at my blood work results and I'm curious about my white blood cell count, which is 13.3, and my neutrophils are at 75.4 with lymphocytes at 17.8. I don't have any symptoms, but I've been taking Topamax for my headaches. Should I be worried about these numbers?

I've had lower back pain since October 2020, and my MRI showed disc bulging at L3, L4, L5, and S1. I also have sciatica nerve pain down my left leg. I've been doing physiotherapy with heat and electrotherapy for 18 days, but it's not getting better. Would seeing a chiropractor help faster, or is surgery my only option?

Disc bulges with sciatica may improve with physiotherapy and pain meds; chiropractic care may help but surgery is advised only if severe symptoms persist.
