I've been working in a pharmaceutical industry for 29 years, and recently, due to my morning shifts, I'm only getting about 5-6 hours of sleep. Last night, out of nowhere, I fainted. It all started with feeling lightheaded, stiff, and shaky, my eyes even rolled up, and I was sweating a lot. I called my husband just before I lost consciousness, and I don't remember anything for a few seconds. He kind of shook me, and everything felt like it was spinning. After a bit, I got stable and then ended up puking everything out. This whole thing has me really worried. Could this be something serious?

I'm really concerned because my mom keeps having this burning sensation all over her body. I'm trying to figure out what might be causing it. Could you suggest some effective medicine or treatment options that might help her?

burning sensation throughout the body can be unsettling. There are several possible explanations, and I'll outline some potential causes and suggestions: *Possible Causes* 1. *Nerve damage or neuropathy*: Damage to nerves can cause burning sensations. 2. *Vitamin deficiencies*: Deficiencies in vitamins like B12, B6, or B1 can lead to burning sensations. 3. *Diabetes*: High blood sugar levels can cause nerve damage, leading to burning sensations. 4. *Thyroid disorders*: Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can cause burning sensations. 5. *Menopause*: Hormonal changes during menopause can lead to burning sensations. 6. *Medication side effects*: Certain medications, such as antibiotics or anticonvulsants, can cause burning sensations. 7. *Infections*: Certain infections, like shingles or multiple sclerosis, can cause burning sensations. *Medications and Remedies* Please consult your doctor before taking any medications. They will help determine the underlying cause and recommend the best course of treatment. 1. *Vitamin supplements*: Ensure your mother is getting adequate vitamins, especially B12, B6, and B1. 2. *Pain relievers*: Over-the-counter pain medications like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) may help alleviate burning sensations. 3. *Topical creams*: Creams containing capsaicin or lidocaine may help reduce burning sensations. 4. *Anticonvulsants*: In some cases, anticonvulsant medications like gabapentin or pregabalin may be prescribed to help manage burning sensations.

I had surgery on my left leg back in March 2017 and my NCS report shows CMAP is absent in the left tibial and peroneal nerves. There's also no sensory nerve action in the sural and superficial peroneal, plus F waves are absent in both tibial and peroneal. What does this mean and what should I do next?

neurologist opinion is advised.
