A 45-year-old woman reports six months of diffuse musculoskeletal aching, unrefreshing sleep, and mid-day fatigue that worsens after busy workdays. She denies joint swelling, fever, weight loss, or focal neurologic symptoms. Physical examination shows tender points over the trapezius, lateral epicondyles, and greater trochanters without synovitis, warmth, or weakness. Thyroid function, complete blood count, basic metabolic panel, vitamin B12 level, and inflammatory markers are normal. She asks for a plan that improves function and sleep and says she would prefer to “start with non-pill options if that makes sense.” What is the most appropriate initial management?

A 40-year-old patient presents to your outpatient clinic with fever, diffuse headache, photophobia, and neck discomfort. Neurologic screening is nonfocal. You plan a focused bedside examination to evaluate for meningeal irritation. Which maneuver is most appropriate to perform now?

A 65-year-old right-handed man reports a long-standing action tremor of both hands that worsens with stress and improves slightly with small amounts of alcohol. It now interferes with writing and using utensils. Neurologic examination is otherwise normal; there is no rigidity, bradykinesia, gait change, or resting tremor. He has moderate persistent asthma on an inhaled corticosteroid–long-acting beta-agonist, resting heart rate 56 beats per minute, and well-controlled hypertension. Which treatment is most appropriate to start in the outpatient clinic?
