My dad has had muscle wastage in his shoulders for the last 25-30 years, and now it's starting in his legs. He had cervical surgery for C5-C6 in 2001 because of tingling, but one doctor thinks it might be MND. We're really unsure could this be MND or something else?

I've been feeling really off lately. My head gets super heavy whenever I start talking, though it's weird because it doesn't actually hurt. Sometimes my hands start shaking, and I've been feeling pretty dizzy too. During conversations, my mind just goes completely blank for a bit, which is really worrying. There's also a bit of neck pain happening. I've been on some tablets for about 20 days now, but I'm not seeing any improvements. I've had an MRI, EEG, and my thyroid levels checked, but everything came back normal. What could be going on here? Would love to hear your thoughts.

It's starting to really bug me and I'm a bit worried.

I got hit on the head a few days back, and now I've been getting dizzy spells and headaches. There's a dent where I got hit, and my fingertip fits right into it. It's really tender. Should I be worried about this?
