Can Stem Cell Treatment Beat Deep Brain Stimulation for Dystonia?
Doctor, the patient has cerebral palsy dystonia. Is steam cell treatment better ordeep brain stimulation beneficial for him, Because deep brain stimulation is beneficial for Parkinson’s patients only, and its success rate is high because it is primary dystonia and he has secondary dystonia. Thank you very much.

In this case, deep brain stimulation may not be the best choice since it's typically used for Parkinson's disease. Stem cell therapy that replaces damaged cells instead could be one of the ways to do it. Cerebral palsy dystonia can cause muscle stiffness or uncontrollable movements. Always consult with a doctor to explore suitable options.

I havent slept for 37 hours am i in danger?
Male | 21
It sounds like you're struggling with sleep. Short-term sleep deprivation can cause fatigue, dizziness, difficulty focusing, mood swings, and forgetfulness. It's important to address this issue promptly, as an ongoing lack of sleep can seriously affect your health and cognitive abilities. Try techniques like deep breathing, calming music, or creating a comfortable sleep environment to help you relax. If sleep problems persist or you're worried about your sleep patterns, consider seeking advice from a doctor or a sleep specialist.

Hello, I am suffering from muscle weakness of hands and legs for 2 weeks. 4 days ago doctor confirmed that I have GBS (AMAN) by NCS and CSF study test. But my physical condition is better than most other patient. I am explaining my conditions to you : - I can walk but slowly and not like normal me - I can stand up from sitting on the bed - I can't stand up from sitting on the floor - I can't stand up from sitting on the sofa - I can lift a highest 500 ml bottle with hands - I can eat like a normal person but I have to give a little pressure in the neck - I can't cough with the full strength My condition is improving a little day by day. Doctor haven't suggested IVIG or Plasma exchange for the treatment. They said I will be cured by only Physiotherapy and Exercise. What are your comments about my physical condition ? Can you suggest me something for that will help me to recover soon ? Thanks is Advance...
Male | 22
This may cause weakness in the muscles of the hands and legs. I am glad that you are getting better. What has been recommended by your doctor is very important- physiotherapy and exercise. These two things can strengthen your muscles and help you regain your ability to move around. Ensure that you strictly adhere to what they say and remember that healing will take time so don’t get tired of waiting.

Female | 75
Parkinson's is capable of its symptoms: the phenomenon of tremors, stiffness, and changes in consciousness. There are different reasons why it might occur, such as the combination of genetic and environmental factors. You might also visit her neurologist who would give a proper estimation of the results and then, if needed, would introduce new plans.

Brian damage any help please for my mother
Female | 51
Your mom might have suffered a brain injury. This occurs due to falls, accidents, or any sudden head impact. Headaches, dizziness, confusion, and memory issues are common signs. Resting the brain and avoiding strenuous activities are crucial. If symptoms worsen rapidly, seek urgent medical help from a neurologist for proper diagnosis and treatment without delay.

I feel like my head is always hot.While studying it feels like it's totally stuffed and I need to wash my head with cold water to relax and didn't have any memory about what I taught in previous day
Female | 18
You might be suffering from stress or fatigue. When you start getting a hot and closed head and you often find yourself in a state of amnesia it might be a sign that you are tired and your brain is asking for a rest. Take breaks while studying, drink plenty of water, and give your body enough rest.

Male | 15
Shaking, racing heart, weakness, balance issues, and fast thinking are signs of different issues. Low blood sugar due to a poor diet, anxiety, or other medical conditions can be the cause. It's important to get help. For now, consume something with sugar, such as a piece of fruit or a teaspoon of honey. Do not forget to see a neurologist and get a proper evaluation.

Why Am I Experiencing Frequent Headaches, Weakness, Dizziness, and Ice Cravings? Frequent headache and weeknes and dizziness and ice craving
Female | 16
If you’re experiencing frequent headaches, weakness, dizziness, and cravings for ice, possible causes could include dehydration from not drinking enough water or anemia from iron deficiency. To improve your symptoms, try drinking more water and eating iron-rich foods like spinach and red meat. If symptoms persist, consider seeking medical attention from a neurologist.

Hello, I was wondering if I should schedule a doctor's visit. I had hit the top right side of my head 2 days ago and again today on my right side with the door on accident. I have been feeling nauseous, slight blurry vision, really bad headache on my right side and fatigue. Thank you!
Female | 28
Two recent bumps to your head have caused some unpleasant symptoms: nausea, blurry vision, a headache on the right side, and tiredness. These could be signs of a possible concussion, which happens when the brain shakes from an impact. If your symptoms worsen or continue, please see a neurologist to be safe.

Female | 22
Feeling lightheaded, dizzy, and nauseous? That can be tough. If you skipped breakfast, low blood sugar or dehydration could be the reason. Drink some water and have a healthy snack—it should help. But if you still feel dizzy, it's important to see a doctor. In the meantime, focus on staying hydrated and eating something. If these symptoms continue, visit a neurologist.

I’ve been Dey for over 6months and today I woke up to see that I bed wet
Male | 18
Bedwetting, also called nighttime enuresis, happens when urine is released during sleep. It can be caused by factors like a small bladder, deep sleep, or stress. While it's common in kids, some adults experience it too. To help, limit fluids before bed, use the bathroom before sleeping, and try a bathroom alarm. If it continues, consult a doctor for more solutions.

Sir, I have headache like tight band with nausea,stress,tension. Sir,Please give me some medicines for relief.
Male | 17
I see that you have a tight band headache around your head and feel like vomiting because of anxiety and stress as well. These signs might mean that you have a tension-type headache; typically caused by bad posture at work or eyestrain from looking at computer screens all day long. You could take some painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen to help relieve the pain in your head. Moreover try and calm down by breathing deeply plus drink lots of water. If this feeling doesn’t go away please go see a doctor so they can check it out.

I hear a whistling sound in my ears. I think I have a disease called tinnitus. Please tell me some medicine to cure this disease.
Male | 24
Tinnitus is not a disease but rather a symptom of something else. It may be due to circumstances such as exposure to loud noises, ear infections, or even stress. Unfortunately, no medication is specifically designed to cure tinnitus. Nevertheless, coping with stress, limiting exposure to loud sounds, and applying sound therapy can reduce the symptoms.

Cerebral atrophy impairs the patient\'s coordination to the extent that he/she loses the touch to walk and speak, and the manual dexterity needed to carry out simple tasks. The condition is demonstrated when the brain cells are gradually losing their size. The medication prescriptions your mother is taking might only produce short-term benefits, you must carry out the consultations with the responsible neurologists who are in charge of her health.

Male | 31
Struggling with stress and body numbness at night, especially after using screens like phones or laptops? Digital eye strain could be the cause, leading to headaches, eye discomfort, and trouble focusing. To ease the symptoms, take regular screen breaks, dim the room lights, and try relaxation techniques. If you're also dealing with premature gray hair or depression, stress may be playing a role. Improving your diet, staying active, and getting enough sleep can help boost your overall health. If these symptoms persist, see a neurologist.

Hi, my mom.Doesn't talk after fainting.I don't know why I need to know what can I do.She fainting because she was angry and nervous a lot
Female | 37
Your mom may have fainted because she was upset and worried. People sometimes don’t start talking right away after fainting. They usually become responsive again shortly. Try to keep her calm and let her know everything is okay. Ensure she is lying down comfortably. If she doesn’t begin speaking soon or displays any other worrying signs, calling for medical assistance immediately would be advisable.

I end up being very tired during the day and trouble focusing from staying up for hours at night. Is this insomnia at all?
Female | 18
You may have trouble sleeping. Not sleeping well means finding it hard to doze off or stay rested through the night. Daytime tiredness and lack of focus could signify this problem. Common culprits – anxiety, stress, and poor sleep patterns. To rest better, wind down before bed with calming activities. Avoid screens late at night. Most importantly, keep your sleep schedule consistent.
