Which nerve disorder can result in bladder problems?
Hi doctor,
I am a 27 year old male. I am suffering from a unique neurological disorder for about 5 years. I have consulted many doctors, but there is no improvement. So, I want your suggestion in regard to this. I am explaining my problem below. Five years ago, one morning when I got up from bed, I felt numbness in my left lower limb. It continues for a few days and then my right lower limb also felt the same. Apart from that, I also started feeling difficulty in passing urine. I consulted neurologist and they performed a number of tests, but could not find out the reason. They took the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of whole spine and brain, but there was nothing. Today, after five years, the condition is that I have very difficulty in walking and also I am using a catheter for passing urine. Each time using the process of self intermittent catheterization (SIC). My life has become a burden for me. I become a fully dependent person to others. If you can help me anything in this regard and if there is any cure of this disease, please let me know. I will be always thankful to you.

How to manage high cholesterol and vitamin D deficiency?
Hi doctor,
I have just got my basic blood check done. I am worried about the report, especially the following points. Cholesterol levels, vitamin D deficiency, excess uric acid, platelet, monocytes and basophils. I would like to know whether all these symptoms together are pointing to something else. Can I get healthy without taking medicines? What should I do? In the above, does anything pointing toward kidney or liver disease or cancer? I have been smoking for the past 10 years about 10 cigarettes a day. If I stop smoking, will it help improving the above?

Do oscillation and alpha waves of the brain coincide?
Hi doctor,
This is a tough question to ask. I believe that oscillations or brain oscillations can be associated with rhythmic variations and vibrations, which coincide with alpha waves or gamma waves. When an outside stimulus is introduced such as a metronome and we perform a specific motor skill in direct relation to a beat or rhythm, can that create an actual memory engram? The question I am asking is with an outside stimulus such as the above mentioned metronome and performing a psychical motor skill corresponding to the beat would that be considered as a brain oscillation?

What are the causes of shortness of breath?
Hi doctor,
I have been experiencing shortness of breath for the past few weeks. I want to note that I have been a smoker for a decade, starting at 18 and now 28 years old, though I never had any problematic symptoms until recently. Last weekend, my mom went to the hospital after experiencing health issues for months. She was diagnosed with pneumonia and prescribed an antibiotic, which unfortunately did not yield the desired results. Today, she returned to the hospital and will be staying for 48 hours. She has been given two different antibiotics as a new treatment approach, and her recent CT scan showed no abnormalities. I visited her about five weeks ago, prior to her experiencing these health issues. Is it a cause for concern that I might be at risk of developing the same condition as her?
