2. Robert has type 2 diabetes and suffers from diabetic neuropathy as a result. At
times, he will develop tingling in various parts of his body, most often in his right
leg. He is strongly against taking any kind of pharmaceutical medication to help
with this. What are the most significant symptoms causing concern for this
patient? What therapy may provide relief, even if only temporary? Why?
The tingling in an extremity is very concerning. Physical therapy with a professional can provide
some relief to the leg and also the supplement Niacin can help aid the symptoms. The therapy can
help activate some parts of the leg and Niacin can help suppress the symptoms but it isn't a
permanent solution.
4. Marie, a toddler, has been suffering from fever-induced seizures, and this has her
parents greatly concerned. She has otherwise been a healthy child, unless she
spikes a fever (meaning her body temperature gets very high very quickly), at
which time her body will go into a state of convulsions and she will sometimes
even foam at the mouth. Doctors have been concerned as well and want to
perform diagnostic testing in an attempt to uncover the problem. What would be
their best option and why?
One main diagnostic test would be an electroencephalogram that measures brain activity or an MRI
could be done on the head also. The EEG can measure the brain activity of the kid and the doctor can
go further from there and the MRI can simply determine if the brain is unusually large of some sort.
