My mom, who's 52, has been experiencing this burning sensation all over her body for about two months now. She's seen a couple of doctors, including a neurologist, and had tests done for sugar, BP, cholesterol, and nerves, but everything's coming back normal. The doctors recently told her she has hypothyroidism and she's been on medication for it for the last 25 days, but there's still no improvement. I'm really concerned and not sure what to do next. Could you offer any advice?
Since she has already consulted with a neurologist and undergone various tests which have come back normal, it may be worth considering neuropathic pain management. Medications such as Gabapentin (Neurontin) or Pregabalin (Lyrica) can be prescribed to help alleviate neuropathic pain. The dosage would depend on her individual condition and should be determined by her treating physician. Additionally, topical treatments like Capsaicin cream can also be used for localized relief. It's important to continue working closely with her healthcare provider to find the most effective treatment plan for her symptoms.

I'm 31, pretty active, and married, but I've noticed my sexual desire is really low. Honestly, if I'm not pushed, I could go without even thinking about sex. It's starting to get to me mentally, and with plans to start a family soon, I'm a bit worried. What should I do about this lack of interest?
Your symptoms are complex and multifaceted. It's great that you're seeking further evaluation. ENT specialists can help diagnose issues related to: - Ear pain and clogged sensations - Sinus and throat issues However, neuralgia or nerve issues might be better evaluated by: - A neurologist (for trigeminal neuralgia) - An oromaxillofacial specialist (for TMJ disorders) Consider asking your ENT specialist for a referral to one of these specialists. Before your appointment: - Keep a detailed symptom journal - Write down all your symptoms and when they occur - Share this information with your ENT specialist
