I have this weird sensation of water in my head and constant tightness, along with sensory OCD. I've tried every type of medication SSRIs, SNRIs, tricyclics, even antipsychotics but nothing has helped. Is there anything else I can try, like surgery or electric therapy? And is this condition even curable?

Question

I'm a bit worried because my left pinky finger keeps twitching. It started about a week ago, and while there's no pain, it bothers me when I'm working on the computer. After doing some research, I read that twitching of the left pinky finger was one of the symptoms linked to Parkinson's, specifically mentioned with Michael J. Fox. Should I be concerned about Parkinson's, or could it be something else?

Question

I've been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and lately, I've been having trouble with my breathing. Do you think these breathing difficulties could be linked to my MS? I'm also finding it hard to take deep breaths. Should I be worried about this as a symptom?

Question

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?
