Had a blood patch on Wednesday for a CSF leak, having now what I would call rebound headaches any advise please
Male | 42
Rebound headaches are common after treating CSF leaks. They occur when the brain becomes accustomed to painkillers and protests when they wear off. To deal with them, try not to overuse pain medicines. Reduce their intake gradually, keep yourself hydrated, and maintain a regular sleep pattern. If they persist, seek further advice from a neurologist.

Male | 21
Brahmi capsules are often used for potential memory enhancement, but their effectiveness varies. Before trying them, consult a doctor due to differences in dosage and individual response. Generally, a 300-450 mg dose in divided amounts is common. Start well in advance of exams. Remember, supplements should complement good study habits, sleep, and a healthy diet. Side effects and interactions exist, so consult a neurology professional.

The condition of the brain which is responsible for recurring seizures is called Epilepsy. Seizures may differ from one individual to another who may either have a staring spell, muscle jerk, or a blackout. Generally, it takes a long time to get well with the medication, or in some cases, even surgery is required. Do not forget to adhere to your neurologist's recommendations for the best treatment possible and continue your checkups regularly.

Kindly suggest helpful which and what treatment is suitable and advisable.
Female | 54
It seems you're dealing with health issues like myositis and myasthenia gravis, which weaken muscles affecting your legs and voice. Since previous treatments haven’t helped, your doctor suggests rituximab to reduce inflammation and improve symptoms. Monitoring is important due to high CD19 levels. Be sure to discuss any concerns or side effects with your neurologist.

Female | 39
The blood vessels are influenced by Behcet’s disease which may result in walking problems and unsteadiness. It can cause inflammation anywhere in the body including the brain. To alleviate these signs, drugs can be used to decrease swellings and alleviate pains. To enhance balance and reinforce muscles, physical therapy might be advised.

Spinal implants is used for spinal cord injury
Male | 50
Spinal implants are typically not used to treat spinal cord injuries directly. Instead, they are more commonly used to stabilize the spine and provide support in cases of spinal fractures, deformities, or degenerative spinal conditions. Treatment for spinal cord injuries often focuses on rehabilitation, oral medication, and supportive care to maximize function and quality of life. However, in some cases where there's spinal instability due to injury, spinal implants may be used as part of surgical intervention to stabilize the spine and prevent further damage.

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.

Female | 32
You’re having pain in the joints after you were administered cortisone to the node in your cerebellum. On occasions, joint pain may occur as a side effect of cortisone. Your knees, hands, and hips hurt and it is difficult to stand on them. This is quite possible with cortisone which will affect your body. To solve this problem, it's best to consult an orthopedist about the joint pain.
