I'm really concerned about what my doctor said about having weak nerves, and now I'm also dealing with a slip disc. Can nerve weakness be treated? I just really want to understand if there's hope for improvement.

I'm a 35-year-old IT professional, and I've been dealing with these persistent brain issues. It's like my brain just doesn't want to think clearly anymoreeverything feels so foggy, and I can't focus at all. My concentration and mental abilities seem to be getting worse, and on top of that, I keep forgetting simple things. Even writing documents at work is turning into a real challenge. It's really affecting my professional life. I'm wondering, what can I do to get rid of this brain fog? Should I see a psychiatrist, or is there some medication that might help? I'd love some guidance on this.

I've been diagnosed with PIVD at L4-L5 and have been taking pregabalin NT along with calcium and vitamin D supplements for the past 8 months. Since surgery wasn't needed, I'm wondering how much longer I'll need to stay on these medications. Are there any long-term side effects I should be aware of with pregabalin NT or the supplements?

Long-term pregabalin use can cause dizziness, drowsiness, and weight gain. Supplements are safe unless overdosed. Continue meds until MRI and symptoms show complete relief.
