I'm dealing with a burning sensation all over my body and it feels like nerve pain, with pins and needles, and sometimes it feels like a heat wave inside. I've also got nerve pain in my jaw. I've been told I might have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome by one doctor in NZ, and a neurologist mentioned Central Pain Syndrome. I'm really concerned and a bit confused about these diagnoses. Could you explain what they mean and how they differ? Also, what can I do to manage or reduce these symptoms?

Approximately 80% of patients with CRPS type I achieve complete, spontaneous relief of signs and symptoms within 18 months; however, no diagnostic criteria have been shown to predict which patients will fall into this category. Some of the patients whose symptoms do not resolve spontaneously may still be cured by treatment. Of the patients who develop refractory CRPS type I, 50-80% have disability secondary to pain andor a limited range of motion. The main disabilities are limitations in their activities of daily living (ADL).

View allI'm not sure what's going on, but I've been having these weird internal vibrations, mostly in my legs. It's almost like there's electricity running through them. I took PPIs for about 46 days, but they didn't help at all. I'm also noticing my muscle mass is just wasting away; my legs, chest, stomach, hands, everything feels soft and kinda loose. I can literally pull at the skin. Besides the vibrations, I'm dealing with weakness, some vision loss, numbness, and difficulty breathing, especially when I'm reading or working. With the lockdowns happening, it's been tough to get help. Can you please help me figure out what this might be and suggest any medications or treatments?
Possible Causes: 1. *Vitamin deficiencies*: Lack of vitamins like B12, magnesium, or potassium can cause muscle weakness, numbness, and internal vibrations. 2. *Neurological issues*: Conditions like peripheral neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson's disease can cause muscle weakness, numbness, and vibrations. 3. *Hormonal imbalances*: Thyroid disorders, adrenal insufficiency, or hormonal changes can cause muscle weakness, fatigue, and other symptoms. 4. *Medication side effects*: Certain medications, such as those used to treat depression, anxiety, or high blood pressure, can cause muscle weakness, numbness, and vibrations. General Advice: 1. *Consult a doctor*: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a specialist (e.g., neurologist, endocrinologist) to discuss your symptoms. 2. *Blood tests*: Get blood tests to check for vitamin deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and other potential underlying conditions. 3. *Neurological examination*: A doctor may perform a neurological examination to assess your muscle strength, reflexes, and sensation. 4. *Medication review*: Inform your doctor about any medications you're taking, as they may be contributing to your symptoms. 1. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to help your body function properly. 2. *Rest*: Get plenty of rest to help your body recover. 3. *Balanced diet*: Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein sources.

I'm really starting to get worried about this constant twitching under my left eye. It's been happening for about 2 months now. Do you think it could be something serious, or is it usually just a minor issue?
That's common it could be due to twitching, no need to worry

I've had a seizure in December and another one just recently, both times while I was sleeping around 5:15 in the morning. I had an MRI and it came back fine, but my blood work showed elevated liver enzymes and a higher white blood cell count. Should I be worried about these results, and is there a chance they're related to the seizures? What should my next steps be?
