View allI'm curious and a bit concerned about my left upper eyelid that keeps pulsating. It's been going on daily for about 6 months now. It comes and goes within minutes, but it's pretty much a daily occurrence. Its not really causing any problems, but I just wanted to check if this is something to worry about or if it's just a harmless twitch.
Thta could be due to restlessness,no need to worry take adequate rest and maintain healthy lifestyle

I'm experiencing this pain in my hands and feet when I walk, and it's got me a bit worried. There's also this weird numbness in my fingers at night when I'm trying to sleep. Could this be peripheral neuropathy? What should I do about it?
Suffering from peripheral neuropathy with pain in hands and feet while walking and numbness in fingers at night during sleep. This condition can be managed with medications such as Gabapentin (Neurontin) starting at 300mg taken orally once a day at bedtime, then titrated up to 300mg three times a day. Additionally, Pregabalin (Lyrica) can be taken at a starting dose of 75mg twice a day or 50mg three times a day, which can be increased to 300mg to 450mg per day in two or three divided doses. Please consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.

_Broken Condom and Plan B: Assessing Pregnancy Risk and Next Steps_ Given the situation, here's a summary of the risks and recommendations: _Pregnancy Risk_ 1. _Low risk_: Although the condom broke, your partner had not ejaculated, and he had urinated multiple times after his last ejaculation, reducing the likelihood of sperm being present. 2. _Pre-cum risk_: Pre-ejaculatory fluid can contain sperm, but the risk of pregnancy from pre-cum is relatively low. _Plan B Effectiveness_ 1. _High effectiveness_: Plan B (levonorgestrel) is highly effective in preventing pregnancy when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex. 2. _Repeated use_: Although you've taken Plan B multiple times, its effectiveness remains high. However, it's essential to consider alternative birth control methods to avoid frequent emergency contraception use. _Next Steps_ 1. _Wait for your period_: Monitor your menstrual cycle and wait for your period to confirm that you're not pregnant. 2. _Consider alternative birth control_: Discuss alternative birth control methods with your partner, such as hormonal contraceptives, IUDs, or condoms with a higher failure rate. 3. _Consult a healthcare provider_: Schedule an appointment with a healthcare provider to discuss your birth control options and any concerns you may have. _Important Notes_ 1. _STI risk_: Although you used protection, it's essential to consider the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Discuss STI testing with your healthcare provider. 2. _Regular check-ups_: Regular health check-ups and open communication with your partner are crucial for maintaining a healthy relationship and addressing any concerns that may arise.
