My brother is having some mysterious health issues. His right arm and leg lose functionality with moderate use. It’s not painful. He describes it as numb or seizing up.
He works on the computer and plays piano so if it were just his arm I’d think it might be a carpal tunnel type issue. But it also happens with his right leg after walking about two miles.
He also dealt with two week-long migraines over the last ten years which made him (for those weeks only) almost blind. Vision returned but has since been worse. He feels his vision/consciousness is collected on his left side.
Some context: The last few years have been very high stress. History of opioid use in teens/early 20s (he is now 40). Some continued addiction issues.
Any thoughts on what this might be and ways to improve? I suggested he focus on the basics but it’d help if he had some understanding of his situation and direction.
