Suggest Treatment For Blood Pressure And Headaches

I was diagnosed with dementia in 2013 and entered a nursing home. My skin looks like 2 colors and is very dry. I had most of my teeth pulled five months and it is still hard to wear denture. My nails are turning brown. I itch all over and have some jerking in my legs. When I use my hands a lot they become numb. I had a planter wart on my right foot and had it biopsied to 2 months ago. The hole will not heal. I actually had the hole with a white rim before I found out I had the plantar wart. I have been losing hair for five years. I have cramps in both of my legs a lot of the time. I cannot sleep. I started taking blood pressure medication at age twelve. I had migraine headaches from 1st grade (age 6) until 2008. Also. I had an EEG and MRI. I was told by my neurologist that I had white matter on my small blood vessels. I am going to Little Rock for a spinal tap and an extensive eye exam when the neurologist schedules the appointment. I also have acrid flux and ulcers found by a surgeon. I take meds for that along with my blood pressure med, a laxative, hydrocodone 3 times a day, Ativan 3 times a day, vitamins and a B 12 shot every month. Sorry I have jumped around so much. Thank you. Robin Simmons
