My mom has been feeling something really strange lately, like there's a movement on the left side of her head, almost like something's crawling inside. It's making her itch a lot, and we're not sure what to do. She's now feeling this crawling sensation in her thigh and arm too, but it happens more often in her head. She's been taking medicine for weak veins, and I'm worried if this is something serious. Can you guide us on who we should consult for this?

It sounds like your mother is experiencing unusual sensations, possibly related to nerve or circulation issues, especially with her history of weak veins. Its important to consult a neurologist or a vascular specialist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment. While it may not be dangerous, it's best to get it checked to rule out any serious conditions.

I'm not sure what's going on, but I've been feeling really dizzy whenever I'm sitting, standing, or even talking to someone. It's making it tough to do simple things. Plus, I can't seem to look at anything that rotates without feeling worse. I got a brain CT scan done, but it came back normal, and the meds I've tried, like Vertistar, Sturgeon, and Gravol, aren't doing anything for me. Im still struggling. Can you help me figure out what's happening?

Lately, I've been experiencing this annoying tingling and numbness in my left hand and leg. It's mostly when I'm sitting or trying to sleep, and it's accompanied by some lower back pain. Walking seems to alleviate it, but the discomfort kicks back in when I'm stationary. It's getting pretty irritating, so I was wondering if you could suggest what I might do to ease this. Any medicine ideas or other ways to find some relief?

Your symptoms may be suggestive of neuropathy. The cause of the neuropathy may be various reasons, which will require investigations to be confirmed. You may require imaging studies to rule out referred pain from spinal cord abnormalities or evaluation of your blood sugar values to rule out diabetic neuropathy.
