What is the Life Expectancy With Surviving Wernicke-Korsakoff?

I survived Wernicke Korsakoff with minimal damage. Is it true that I only have 8 years to live?

1 Answer

Answered on 26th Sept '24

It's great to hear that you got through Wernicke-Korsakoff with minimal issues. Don't worry; you're not limited to just 8 years. Wernicke-Korsakoff affects memory and brain function, causing symptoms like confusion, vision problems, and walking difficulties, usually due to a Vitamin B1 deficiency. Treatment includes B1 supplements and a nutritious diet. With proper care, you can live a long, healthy life.

I have been diagnosed with IIH. Could I work in a hospital with equipment that use electromagnetic radiation in the future if I get a shunt placement ? Will it affect my shunt valve settings?

Female | 27

Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) can cause headaches and vision problems due to increased pressure around the brain. One common treatment is shunt placement, a tube that drains excess fluid. Working with radiation equipment in a hospital is unlikely to affect your shunt, as shunt valves are not impacted by electromagnetic radiation.

I am 28 years old male. I am having severe throbbing headache on the sides of the head as well as on the eyes. I also have swelling on my eyelids. i have extreme headache when i bend down or sneeze/cough. I also have nausea and vomited x3-4 times today

Male | 28

It may sound like you have a condition known as sinusitis. Sinuses get inflamed when spaces around the nose are filled with too much mucus due to colds, flu, allergies, or other conditions. This can lead to pain in your head especially when you lean forward or cough/sneeze; it also causes swelling in the eyes, nausea, and vomiting. To feel better try using warm packs on your face and take pain relievers that can be bought over the counter. Keep yourself well hydrated and rest enough too. In case these signs don't go away, you should see a doctor who will check them out further and treat them accordingly.

One more question my ears are ringing it's been 2 months to my accident and having a slight hearing loss in left ear it will go away or not ?

Male | 23

Ringing in the ears and deafness after an accident can result from injury to the tiny hairs in the inner ear. This might occur if there is an abrupt loud noise or trauma. It is necessary to consult with an audiologist. They will be able to determine what would be most helpful for your situation in terms of hearing improvement methods. Do not be afraid because there are treatments that can be used for you to be able to hear well again.

if i stay awake the whole night but i sleep in the morning to balance the amount of sleep i require per day, is it harmful for my body?

Female | 17

Staying awake all night and sleeping during the day can disrupt your natural sleep-wake cycle, leading to potential health issues like fatigue, poor concentration, and weakened immunity. It is best to maintain a regular sleep schedule. Please consult a sleep specialist or a general physician to discuss your sleep patterns and get personalized advice.

Female | 22

It may be due to stress or anxiety. In such cases, it is advisable to practice mindfulness meditation, deep breathing and some relaxation exercises. Also, knowing the cause of your stress and anxiety may help. If the problem still continues, please consult a reputed doctor to address the issue. I hope this helps.

If I don’t say something immediately I will forget it after

Male | 13

If you often forget things quickly, it could be due to something called short-term memory loss. Symptoms include difficulty remembering recent events or information. This can happen due to stress, lack of sleep, or not paying attention. Try to practice good sleep habits, reduce stress, and pay attention when you learn new things. Writing things down can also help you remember better.

Sensation in back ear by toching this goes to right fore head and front teeth.

Male | 39

Could be related to a complex network of nerves in your head and face. One possibility is that the sensation could be due to referred pain or sensory connections between different nerves.
