I am taking Finasteride for prostate treatment. I have noticed significant muscle weakness since starting this medication only 6days ago! Is this unusual? Answer: There are rare reports of myopathy (muscle disease causing weakness) or other muscle problems (weakness and spasms) in patients on finasteride. I would advise talking to your doctor about this problem.

Here is My Question:
Can I take phentermine, a weight lost supplement, after being administered with an Ocrevus infusion? Answer: Phentermine is a stimulant (activates sympathetic nervous system) and may have unacceptable interactive affects with other medications administered during Ocrevus infusions. For this reason, I would encourage you to discuss these possible interactions with your doctor. He or she may advise you not to take the phentermine around your infusions.

Diagnosed with Meralgia Paresthetica. Surgery to release bundled nerve was unsuccessful. Discomfort persists. Do I have MS? Question: Meralgia Paresthetica is caused by damage to the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve of the thigh. This nerve supplies sensation to the lateral upper thigh down to just above the knee. This type of neuropathic pain (burning/sensitive to even light touch) is not caused by a central nervous system problem and is therefore not associated with MS. Meralgia paresthetica is common in people overweight, people with diabetes and after total hip replacement surgery using an anterior approach. There are many other causes but these are probably the top 3 currently.
