I'm really concerned about my mom. She's been diabetic for a while, and lately, she's been saying that her whole body goes numb when she's sleeping. It's been happening for about a month, and I'm not sure what type of doctor we should see about this. Could you guide me on who to consult?

Based on your symptoms, the white patches could be:
- Vitiligo: An autoimmune condition causing skin depigmentation.
- Pityriasis Alba: A harmless skin condition causing white patches, often on elbows and knees.
- Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis): A skin condition causing white patches, redness, and itching.
- Psoriasis: An autoimmune condition causing white, scaly patches.
Consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. They may recommend:
- Topical creams or ointments
- Light therapy
- Oral medications
Share your medical history, including the treatment you received at 17, to help the dermatologist make an accurate diagnosis.

I've been having these vertigo episodes over the last six months, and despite seeing an ENT and getting all sorts of tests like VNG and audiometry, everything came back normal. The ENT even said it might not be vertigo and suggested I see a neurologist. I had an MRI done, but that was fine too. I've been on stuzeran 25 and renerve plus for about four months, and while there's a bit of improvement in my dizziness and motion sickness, it's nothing significant. Lately, I've started getting headaches after sitting in front of the computer for a long time, about 2-3 hours. I even saw an ophthalmologist, but my eyes are perfectly fine. With all these doctor visits, nobody's been able to pinpoint what's actually causing my problems. Any idea what's going on or what could be the reason for these headaches?
in conclusion, while many tests have come back normal, its still possible that issues like posture, stress, or medication side effects could be contributing to your ongoing symptoms. Its important to maintain open communication with your healthcare providers, and exploring physical therapy for your neck and posture might be a useful next step.

I'm exploring options for dealing with hydrocephalus and I'm curious if there's something other than surgery. Specifically, I'm interested in whether homeopathic medicine could be a viable option. Can you provide any insights on that?
no medical treatment is better for hydrocephalus
