My 85-year-old dad was in a diabetic coma with complications resulting in a prolonged stay in ICU. He went in with short-term memory loss/dementia and his medical issues were resolved over a 5-week ICU stay. His muscles have atrophied, and none of his limbs moved during these 5 weeks. His neurological issues are affected to the extent that he is less responsive—he will only open his eyes occasionally, but responds to pain, sound, and touch. Will he regain any arm and limb mobility through rehabilitation, and can rehabilitation be used to work on his neurological problems?

My son suffered a traumatic head injury at the age of three and has since faced various challenges, including being diagnosed with schizo-affective disorder. He is currently taking Abilify and Seroquel, but his symptoms are worsening. I believe his issues stem from the head injury and am seeking information on retraining the brain, programs for neurologically impaired individuals, and ways to get a comprehensive neurological assessment. How can I get professionals to focus on his brain health, and what treatments or therapies might help him?

Laying in bed in half asleep stage in the morning, my brain suddenly felt like mild electricity going thru every part of the brain and then my head jerked 3-4 times to the right. No pain, just panic. I'm female, 57. It happened yesterday morning, lasted seconds. I have depression, RLS, very painful leg pain, joint pain on hip, knee, ankle mostly on the right. Had Rotary Cuff Surgery 04/08. Take meds for thyroid, cholesterol, RLS/anxiety, acid blockers for severe GERD, and B12 shot once a month.

My husband has extreme pain in his left buttocks area and left shin. He is in pain no matter what position he is in. He's an otherwise very active 72-year-old who runs or walks 3 to 7 miles a day and does strength training 4 days a week. Can this be his sciatic nerve? He doesn't recall a specific moment when he got this injury.

I am passing urine too often, approximately every 2 hours. I have had this problem for six months now. Sometimes there is a slight burning feeling while urinating. I am taking daily 'Zyloric' and blood pressure tablets, which I have been taking for over three to four years. What could be causing this frequent urination?
