Can treatment improve my daughter's right-side functionality?
I have a daughter whose development has been a bit late since she was little. She could only lie face down after she was 1 year old and then she could walk around 3 or 4 years old. Her development is slow but she is currently in grade 11 at school, but her mental ability is very weak. Her IQ is below 100. Her right hand, right leg and arm are stiff. The sole of the right foot tilts inward so it is difficult to walk or not like a normal person. What I hope from this treatment is that she right side can function normally. Because now you need help to clean after menstruation or after defecating, considering that the only thing that can be used normally is only the left hand, and even then it is not very active.

Your daughter's symptoms are typical of cerebral palsy which causes a lack of muscle coordination and also results in mobility problems. Those symptoms you named are the cause of an extra motor diagnostic test to be done, like hip reflexes to be tested, and a tossed foot drop. The most optimal way is physiotherapy to do work on muscle tone or strength and loosen tightness, to let your child move properly. In the case of consistent therapy, she will grow more independent and be able to use her muscles more easily so she can join you in activities.

my son is very ill Epilepsy
Male | 14
Epilepsy is a neurological condition that is characterized by seizures. During a seizure attack, a person may involuntarily shake or jerk. These seizures are manifestations of abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Medications have been proven to control seizures, so recommending the best treatment options from a neurologist should be the priority.

You should consult for a second opinion right away. Hemifacial spasm can be a symptom of another neurological condition, including an aneurysm. A ruptured cerebral aneurysm is a medical emergency that requires to be treated promptly. Speculating on life expectancy without the proper medical evaluation is inappropriate. As soon as you can, see a neurologist.

Hello, some help please, difficulty thinking connected with a continuous right arm and leg pain, at times i loose even sight, it occurs most especially when am forced to do a hard task at work which seems undoable, too many calls from people, stress times at work. The arm pain is continuous, it reduces only when I continuously swing my arm in all directions. Is it pressure!! What can I do.
Male | 34
You may be dealing with stress and thoracic outlet syndrome. This happens when nerves or blood vessels near your neck and shoulder get pinched, causing pain and foggy thinking. Stress and repetitive movements worsen it. Take breaks and do gentle stretches. Try relaxing activities too.

Seasonal migraines seem like your issue. Head pain comes back yearly, same time. You might feel sick, sensitive to light or sound, also vision issues. To avoid these, stay hydrated. Get plenty of sleep. Keep stress in check.

Keep going dizzy and felling sick
Female | 35
Reasons for dizziness and nausea can also be divided into several categories. It could be due to water deficiency, not proper eating, or over-exercising. Get enough sleep, take care of your diet, and hydrate well. If dizziness and nausea would be the things that continue to occur, it would be better to consult a neurologist.

I have vertigo problem .I done some m r i lot's of treatment but no results also I done physiotherapy but no results .with vertigo i hav ear ringing problem.i done hrct scan but it's normal.
Male | 28
When you have vertigo, you may feel like everything is spinning around you; however, this can be very frustrating if accompanied by tinnitus. These two symptoms have been known to persist even after an MRI scan or physical therapy has been done. It’s a good thing that your HRCT scan was normal. In this situation, I would advise you to see an ENT specialist so they can find out more about what might be causing them internally and from outside sources like infections, etc.

I am 46 year old man. I have little fever since days and headache with feeling head like heavyness. I do also vomit with loose motions before 4-5 days and have many anxiety also..
Male | 46
Symptoms such as fever, headache, throwing up, diarrhea, and nervousness could point towards a stomach bug or food poisoning. These might also leave you feeling light-headed or generally unwell. Make sure to drink enough water, get plenty of rest, and stick with bland foods if this is what you’re going through. If your condition doesn’t improve or gets worse than before, please see a doctor so they can examine you properly and give appropriate treatment options.

Actually I have been suffering from trigeminal neuralgia from 4 weeks which is not curing properly .. I m suffering with a lot .. I m a student , it's a distraction for me .. please tell me a proper cure which would be thankful for you
Female | 15
Trigeminal neuralgia is characterized by sudden, intense facial pain that can be triggered by trivial things such as talking or chewing. It is because a nerve in your face gets inflamed. To cope with the pain, you can use medicines like anticonvulsants or injections. In some cases, surgery might be required as a last resort. Talk to your neurologist about all your treatment options.

I'm from the country and all waste water accumulates in a septic tank. My parents don't usually call that truck home to dump the contents, they take care of it by dumping all the liquid in their own garden on a corn crop. Indeed, we do not actually eat the corn, but we do eat the rest of the nearby plants. But the birds they have, and from which we consume the eggs, consume some of that corn. I am very concerned about my physical health, especially my brain, and my fear is that I may have ingested substances from detergents/toothpaste over time, such as fluoride, which I know is neurotoxic, or other strong substances, etc. . . The usual analyzes always turned out fine for me. I drew their attention to these things and they told me that there are other people who do the same thing and apparently nothing happened. Should I worry/do something about it? I'm thinking that maybe those substances in the detergents and everything that gets there affect the nervous system, the brain. The plants in the garden show no signs of damage, probably because the detergents contain substances similar to fertilizers. Also, I'm wondering if from the feces, if some guest is infected with some parasite, and they then end up on the soil, can I also get them through the plants and affect components of my SN? Does all this accumulate in them? I can't stop eating food/eggs from home because I just started college, I have 6 more years until I can choose what and when to eat, have my own salary. I was thinking that for my own peace of mind, I would have a brain MRI this year to make sure everything is ok, as well as the usual urine test, which he can arrange for from the GP. Do you think it's okay?
Male | 18
While it's natural to worry, it's unlikely that the small amount of substances from detergents or toothpaste in the water would cause significant harm to your brain. Eating the food grown in the garden is generally safe, as plants can filter out harmful substances. It's encouraging to know that your health reports are okay. Getting a brain MRI and urine test for peace of mind is a proactive step, and it's okay to do.
