It is 30 point questionnaire to assess the cognition level of a person. It includes assessment of orientation to time (5 points), orientation to place (5 points), registration (3 points), attention and calculation (5 points), recall (3 points), language (2 points), repetition (1 point) and complex commands (6 points). Any score of 24 or above indicates normal cognition. Below this, scores can indicate severe (≤9 points), moderate (10–18 points) or mild (19–23 points) cognitive impairment.

I'm experiencing these weird full-body muscle vibrations, almost like internal waves, whenever I move. It's been going on for about 2.5 years now, and it happens in my neck, shoulders, arms, legspretty much everywhere. Whenever I bend down, I feel this wave-like sensation in my back, too. Along with that, I've been having neck and back pain. Can you help me figure out what's going on? I'm really curious and a bit worried about these symptoms.

Gout arthritis management: _Current situation:_ 1. High uric acid levels 2. Recurring gout attacks (right knee, now left knee) 3. Febuxostat (Febustat) 40mg daily provides relief _Concerns:_ 1. Dependence on medication for pain management 2. Intermittent dosing (2 timesday) may not be optimal 3. Potential kidney stone risk with high uric acid _Recommended adjustments:_ 1. Consult rheumatologist or primary care physician. 2. Consider: - Increasing Febuxostat to 80mg daily (if tolerated). - Allopurinol (alternative uric acid reducer). - Probenecid (uricosuric agent). 3. Lifestyle modifications: - Hydrate adequately (2-3 litersday). - Low-purine diet (limit organ meats, seafood). - Maintain healthy weight. - Exercise regularly. - Limit alcohol intake. _Additional considerations:_ 1. Colchicine for acute gout attacks. 2. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for pain. 3. Corticosteroids (oral or injected) for severe inflammation. _Monitoring:_ 1. Regular uric acid level checks. 2. Kidney function tests. 3. Liver function tests.

My friend's been having this weird issue with her eyes flickering and randomly shutting for around 30 seconds, and its been going on for over 6 months. She uses reading glasses but her prescription hasn't changed. The neuro psychiatrist we saw prescribed serta, etilaam, and arpizol for 10 days, but it hasn't really made any difference. What do you recommend we do next?
