My wife has been dealing with TB Meningitis for the last two years. She completed the TB medication course, but she's still struggling with a lot of neural and back pain. An MRI showed signs of myelitis and some changes in her spinal cord, which has us really concerned. The doctors say that while the TB bacteria is gone, the damage might be beyond repair and her chances of recovery are slim at best. They've recommended physiotherapy and visiting pain management centers for her current pain. For about a year and a half, shes been on Gabapin 300 and Gabantip AT. Can you suggest any pain management centers, or maybe share your thoughts on any potential for recovery?

I'm really worried about my mom. She took Duzela m 20 for her nerve pain, but now she's having side effects like acidity, nausea, and burping. What can we do to help her feel better and reduce these side effects?

The side effects of acidity, nausea, and burping after taking Duzela M 20 (a combination of duloxetine and methylcobalamin) can be common. To alleviate these symptoms, I recommend taking the medication with food, drinking plenty of water, and considering an over-the-counter antacid (after confirming with her doctor). If the symptoms persist, please consult her healthcare provider for further guidance.
