"I was walking home last night and did not see a hole on the sidewalk. It was very dark outside,
and it was as if I could not see anything. I fell on the ground and hit my head hard. In the last month this
has happened to me a few times, where I feel I am totally blind at night. I can see just fine during the
day, but not at night or if the light is dim. I have also felt pretty tired the last few days."

follow:
Vitamin A

Normal range
Normal vision
20-60 µg/dL
0.6-2 mg/dL

A patient has been experiencing numbness and pain in their hands and feet during the winter. They were initially diagnosed with Reynauds (which is caused by an overactive sympathetic nervous system cutting off blood flow to the hands in the cold), but recently they have been experiencing issues with fine motor control in their hands, and the doctor is concerned that it could be Multiple Sclerosis. How could you test to see which condition is causing this? Discuss that how will you treat this patient, if they have MS?

She has also had trouble holding a pen while writing. In the past few months, the tingling and numbness in her extremities seemed to subside on its own, so she was not very concerned. Recently, though, the symptoms have spread to her knees and thighs and are persisting. Yesterday, she stumbled when getting out of bed in the morning. When she tried to stand, her right leg was too weak to hold her weight and she fell again. She noticed that she scraped her right knee during the fall, but does not feel any pain from the wound.

Her husband often complains that she has the TV too loud, but Joanne thinks it’s a normal volume. She has noticed that her feet and toes are colder and she has to wear socks and slippers around the house to be comfortable.A few nights a week, she wakes up in the middle of the night with tingling and numbness in her right hand.
