Answered on 8th Sept '24
Parkinson's disease affects movement from brain cells misfiring. Early signs are shakes, stiffness, walking trouble. A cure hasn't been found yet, but medication can relieve symptoms. Physical activity and nutritious food also help manage the condition. If it worsens, surgery might be an option. Although it's difficult, stay hopeful and listen to your doctor for optimal treatment.

Can epilepsy go away in time and a person with it no longer have that disease?
Female | 42
Epilepsy is when a person has recurrent seizures. Sometimes this goes away on its own, especially in kids. Symptoms can range from convulsions or strange feelings to staring spells. Causes may be genetic or related to head injuries. Treatment usually includes medication but may involve surgery as well. Be sure to discuss ways of dealing with it with a neurologist.

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.
Female | 18
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.

There's no known permanent cure for migraines. Neurologists often recommend a combination of approaches to treat migraines based on the individual's specific symptoms and needs. The effectiveness also varies among individuals.

I am located in Tanzania. I have ruptured my Achilles tendon. I know I need to have surgery. My concern is I have no feeling in the bottom of my foot, the doctors here want to do the tendon surgery and are saying the damaged nerves may repair themselves. I don't know if that is true or if I should have a neurosurgeon do the surgery.
Female | 51
The nerves that are damaged could heal by themselves with time but it is advisable to seek guidance from a specialist on how best to handle this situation. If you don't want to go ahead with surgery, have a second opinion from a neurosurgeon and based on that take the decision right for you.

I had an EEG done a couple weeks ago and my neurology appointment is a month away. I'm trying to make heads and tails with what I've been told
Male | 35
If there were any abnormal brain waves, your doctor may want to investigate further. Things like seizures or even bad headaches can cause strange brain wave patterns to show up on this test. So, it’s good news that you have an appointment with a neurologist coming up soon. They will be able to help you figure out what comes next based on what’s been going on with you and what showed up in the EEG.

See a neurologist for your headaches, which may be due to migraine, temporal arteritis, trigeminal neuralgia, sleep deprivation, or medication use.

Hy. More than one month ago during shower I have washed my anus and ( probabile also my colon). I have removed the shower head and i have put the nozzle into my ass...like 3 or 4 times. Like 10 minutes later started a flash stabbing pain in my left big toe. Next days better little bit after i have niumbness, flashing sometimes prickling and tingling in my legs and arms. In this moment I have burning in my all upper body. ( in my back and arms burn , hot.) I don't have fever! So probabile I have neuropathy ( polyneuropathy) symptoms. My question is the anal douching it could have been caused this symptoms ? Or it's caused by something else?? I am 28 years old. I don't have other sickness. Sorry for my english.
Male | 28
Dependent on the symptoms given, it’s unlikely that anal douching causes your neuropathy symptoms. Neuropathy mostly comes from related factors such as diabetes or nerve injury neuropathy. For a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, see a neurologist. Meanwhile, avoid inserting anything into your anus and focus on staying healthy generally.

Why I am having a headache and nousea
Female | 19
When head throbs and the stomach churns, it often has simple causes. Perhaps not enough water passed your lips. Or maybe a meal you ate stirred unpleasant reactions. Anxieties also bring those unpleasant companions knocking. Drink deeply from the well, and eat gently. But if discomforts persist, visit a neurologist.

I have dizziness throughout the day and head swinging also. Plus there is bleeding slightly light in color. And I had empty stomach throughout the day also.
Female | 25
Dizziness, head swinging, and slightly light bleeding - these symptoms sound like low blood sugar. They happen when you don't eat enough. Your blood sugar drops, making you feel unsteady and dizzy. To help, eat regular meals and snacks all day to keep blood sugar steady. Include a mix of healthy foods: fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins. If the symptoms don't go away, talk to a neurologist. They'll evaluate further.

Male | 23
Although there is no permanent cure for epilepsy, it can be effectively managed with medical treatment, lifestyle changes, and even surgery in certain cases. Epilepsy is treated by a neurologist, specifically a neurologist who specializes in epilepsy and seizure disorders.

I am a 23 year old female who has been having headaches since I've given birth but still no changes of it going away even If I use painkillers. I'm alsohaving chest pain and throat pain for two weeks now, what should I do?
Female | 23
It is quite normal to experience headaches due to hormonal changes and lack of sleep after childbirth. However, headache shooting coupled with chest and throat pain should not be ignored. It is essential to eliminate the fear of serious conditions, such as postpartum preeclampsia or infections. You should go for a medical evaluation as soon as possible to find out the cause and the right treatment.

Mild to moderate numbness that comes and goes on right side of head and behind ear. It's been going on for 2+ hours.
Male | 20
Seek immediate medical attention from a neurologist to determine the cause, as it could be related to factors, some of which may require prompt evaluation and treatment. Don't ignore concerning symptoms, especially if they are accompanied by weakness, difficulty speaking, severe headache, or changes in vision.

I have pain in hands and feet, I also feel blurred vision, I am suffering from persistent mucus production, I am a high BP patient.
Male | 42
It seems like you might have systemic hypertension—this can lead to symptoms such as pain in the hands or feet, blurred vision, or more phlegm. These are all signs of high blood pressure. You need to check your blood pressure regularly and do what your doctor says to keep it under control. Changing your lifestyle by eating well-balanced meals, getting regular exercise, and dealing with stress can make things better for you.

Female | 21
I understand your niece faces brain meningioma and a tumor in her right eye nerve – serious conditions, yet treatable. Meningioma often brings headaches, vision troubles, and weakness. Eye glioma risks vision loss. Treatment options: surgery, radiation therapy, medication. The key is working closely with specialists to choose the best care path for your niece.

Sir my name is venu gopal and I am 26 years old sir I am sweating only one side of my face and hands what is the reason sir
Male | Kasam venu gopal
Sweating excessively on one side of your face and one hand may be due to Frey’s syndrome, which is a condition that develops as a result of damaged nerves from surgery or injury. The key sign is sweating when you eat or see food. You can try antiperspirants or medication, and if necessary, have botox injections. Don’t forget to drink water and avoid spicy foods too often.

I am a 37 years old female. From the past few days I am feeling an ache inside the left side of my head at regular intervals. I also feel my head spinning and heavy quite often. Sometimes I feel cold and sometimes I sweat. I also feel my body weak quite often and sometimes feel I may fall. Sometimes I feel a pull on the backside of my head and that part paining, though it isn't a severe or constant pain. I am not able to tell this to my parents as they recently faced a huge tragedy and I don't get the courage to speak to them and give them more pain. Since the time I get up I look forward to going to sleep again as that's the only time I feel better and tension free. Is this a passing phase or serious health issue? Are these signs of brain inflammation/tumor? Will be grateful to you if you advice me what my next step should be.
Female | 37
As your symptoms indicate, you may be suffering from a migraine or tension headache. But one should not exclude the possibility of serious conditions. I suggest consulting a neurologist for further detailed diagnosis. While you wait, work on reducing your stress and have a good sleep at night. Recall that your health should be considered first and you might need medical attention if the situation requires so.

Please help me I'm 38 years old I have pain all over my body I feel sick all the time I'm tried all the time and I have nights sweats for the last week
Male | 38
It seems like you may have some symptoms which could mean many things. Pain everywhere, feeling bad a lot, always being worn out, and sweating at night are all signs of different illnesses. A virus infection might be one cause but so could an immune system disorder or even just stress alone. You need to see a doctor so that they can find out what is going on with you exactly--and then give feedback that is helpful for treating whatever this turns out to be.
