Question 1

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?

Question 2

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?

Question 3

I'm dealing with a slip disk at L4-5 and L5-S1, and my doctors are suggesting surgery. But I've been on medications like Razo 20mg, Pregabid 75mg, Decort 6, and D3 once daily, and I've noticed some improvement over the past week, especially with the numbness getting better. I really don't want to go through surgery if I can avoid it. Do you think it's possible to keep this improvement going with just meds and avoid the operation altogether?
