My friend had a bike accident 8 months ago and got a brain injury with a blood clot. Even though the clot got better, he still has memory and behavior problems and is on medication. Now he's been diagnosed with a fistula and needs surgery. Is it safe to try homeopathy for the fistula while he's still taking his brain injury meds?

Homeopathy is not recommended for fistulas with history of trauma—best to go with surgical correction after neuro clearance.

I've been dealing with this issue for 34 years now, and I'm getting pretty concerned. Whenever I put my head into the air, whether it's day or night, I get an instant headache. It's really uncomfortable, and I'm wondering what I can do about this. Any advice would be really appreciated.

It sounds like you're experiencing a sensitivity to changes in position, which could be related to tension or a posture issue. Try gentle neck stretches, maintaining good posture, and consider seeing a doctor for a proper diagnosis to rule out any underlying conditions.

I'm really concerned about my mom. She's been diabetic for a while, and lately, she's been saying that her whole body goes numb when she's sleeping. It's been happening for about a month, and I'm not sure what type of doctor we should see about this. Could you guide me on who to consult?

Based on your symptoms, the white patches could be: 1. *Vitiligo*: An autoimmune condition causing skin depigmentation. 2. *Pityriasis Alba*: A harmless skin condition causing white patches, often on elbows and knees. 3. *Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)*: A skin condition causing white patches, redness, and itching. 4. *Psoriasis*: An autoimmune condition causing white, scaly patches. Consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. They may recommend: 1. Topical creams or ointments 2. Light therapy 3. Oral medications Share your medical history, including the treatment you received at 17, to help the dermatologist make an accurate diagnosis.

What should I do about this pain? Can we meet to discuss treatment options? I really need to find a way to get rid of it. Right now, I can only sleep when I take Maxgalin to ease the pain, but I'm worried about how long I should keep using it.

You can take Maxgalin for pain relief for as long as your doctor prescribes it. It is important to follow the recommended dosage and duration of treatment. Maxgalin is commonly prescribed for neuropathic pain and the dosage can vary depending on the severity of your pain. It is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen.
