I'm a bit worried because my left pinky finger keeps twitching. It started about a week ago, and while there's no pain, it bothers me when I'm working on the computer. After doing some research, I read that twitching of the left pinky finger was one of the symptoms linked to Parkinson's, specifically mentioned with Michael J. Fox. Should I be concerned about Parkinson's, or could it be something else?

In your case, since there is no pain or other issues, it may be related to repetitive strain from working on the computer. I recommend trying to take breaks and stretch your fingers regularly. Additionally, you can take a muscle relaxant like Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) 5mg at night to help with the twitching. If the twitching persists or worsens, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

My dad had a stroke and the doctors found an infarction in his brain. Now they're recommending surgery is this really necessary or are there other options we should consider first?

It's understandable to be concerned about your dad's health and the recommended surgery. Not all stroke treatments require surgery, and other options should be considered first. Surgery is usually reserved for specific situations, especially those related to bleeding or severe blockages in the brain.

I'm 22 and have epilepsy. I've been on Valparin Chrono 300 and Frisium 10mg for the past year, and before that, I was taking Levesam 500mg for five years. I'm just wondering if these medications could cause any issues when I want to have kids in the future. Could they affect my ability to conceive or the health of the baby?

There is no such problem you can have equally healthy babies
