My mom has motor neurone disease will i get it ?

Female | 20

The risk of inheriting Motor Neuron Disease (MND) depends on the specific genetic mutations. Having a parent with MND does not guarantee that you will develop the condition, as the majority of cases are sporadic. If there is a known genetic mutation in the family, genetic counseling can provide more information about the risk.

Why do parkinson's patients keep their eyes closed?

Female | 36

Parkinson's disease can disrupt eye movements, causing difficulties in coordination and initiation. This oculomotor dysfunction, coupled with symptoms like bradykinesia, may lead individuals to close their eyes. This adaptive behavior helps reduce visual input, stabilizing gaze, improving balance, and mitigating the risk of falls.

6 months post stem cell transplant what to expect?

Male | 34

Gradual recovery and improved immune function can be observed about six months post-stem cell transplant. Most transplant-related side effects should wear off, and your energy might improve too. Regular sessions with your medical care team will keep track of progress and you can possibly resume activities to normal levels. Individual recovery can often differ and the guidance from your Doctor for further care and modifications to your lifestyle should not be neglected.

What symptoms would indicate that the treatment might not be successful?

Male | 59

If the treatment doesn't seem to be working, some diagnostics to keep an eye out for are if your symptoms don't improve or actually get worse, if new symptoms emerge that weren't present earlier, or if you experience side effects from the treatment. These things could be the indications that the specific therapy is not your cup of tea. In such cases, it's crucial to the doctor to discuss other alternative solutions that may suit you better.
