My grandfather age is 69 2 month before he had a second brain stroke after 1 year of first brain stroke and after 2 second he unable speaker,unable tongue and eat food and unable to open mouth we feed him by nv tube but now he is able to open mouth and able to move tongue slowly in forward direction but tongue is tilt left side suggest what to do now for fully recovery of tongue
Male | 69
Your grandfather might be experiencing tongue problems acquired after a recent stroke. This is the term for dysphagia, which is difficulty in swallowing and speaking. Amazingly, he can now open his mouth and move his tongue slowly. For him to make a full recovery, speech therapy might be useful. Exercises and techniques help in the aspect of toning control of the tongue and swallowing, adding to the general treatment of dysphagia.

Male | 6
It sounds like your son might be experiencing an eye movement disorder, which could be a sign of a neurological issue. I recommend taking him to a pediatric neurologist as soon as possible to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.

A daytime sleep schedule not only helps a patient with fibromyalgia to get better but is also of paramount importance to them to avoid sleeping after midnight. Sleep can aggravate or diminish pain, tiredness, and even exacerbations. Adjusting the sleep schedule 3-4 hours before midnight might be a good way to augment sleep quality. Convince your mother to give sleep a priority so that she can not only reduce what she is experiencing but also have better overall health.

My uncle is 67 years old with lung cancer and been in remission for a while. He suffers bad migraines. He was getting shots and nothing worked. He said he hit his head a couple times and developed a subdermal hematoma. He started throwing up and took him to er they transferred him to toledo hospital where they did burr holes and released blood from his brain. He is not recovering or answering any questions properly. Now he has air in the burrs. Last scan showed no air but blood has moved to the back of his head. They are giving fentanyl by IV and npo. 3 days not eating.He is confused and restrained. No communication with a doctor since after surgery We been here since Thursday He had his surgery friday. Should I take him somewhere else? His cancer is not killing him. These headaches from chemo and radiation after effects I believe.
Male | 67
The headache and confusion he is experiencing might be due to the hematoma, which is a blood clot in his brain. The air in the burr holes is concerning. The brain cannot tolerate excess blood, as it may cause problems. At least the pain medicine is helping him. His recovery process might be a bit lengthy. It's important to stay in constant communication with the doctors at the hospital.

I am a 14 year old female and i am having a small migrane on the left side on my head. just now when i was sitting down with my head slightly tilted a clear liquid of a few drops came out from my nose, i searched it up and it said something about CSF liquid? some liquid surrounding the brain or what. I just want to check if its nothing serious and if i can continue my day
Female | 14
Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) is a clear liquid that surrounds the brain. Sometimes, a small tear in the tissue around the brain can cause this fluid to leak through your nose. This may cause pressure or headaches on one side of your head. It’s important to rest and avoid activities that could worsen your condition. If your headache gets worse or you feel very unwell, visit a neurologist.

I have had a headache for 4 days now and 2 out of the 4 days have been migraine like headaches
Female | 19
Migraines can be very hard. They often come with throbbing pain in your head. You may feel sick to your stomach. Light and sounds make it worse. Not enough sleep and stress can cause migraines. Some foods can start them too. Make sure you eat good stuff. Drink lots of water. Get lots of rest. If headaches keep happening, talk to a doctor.

There is a lot of pain at night. It feels like the vein in the forehead will burst and the body jerks repeatedly.
Male | 17
You may be having a cluster headache. It may be accompanied by a jolt of the body. Stress, alcohol consumption, and intense smells can serve as irritants. To counter these conditions, use relaxation methods, do not expose yourself to triggers, and consult a neurologist for further advice and support.

Yesterday I had leg and feets pain like sprain today at night suddenly it started twitching it was so intense that I was moving my legs hands arm it was more in arm I was crying out ???? and and teeth were shivering and now suddenly my pain disappeared and shivering also disappeared I still can't stop crying. my forehead is hot and my teeth are shivering but I am not feeling much cold on my feet but there is some coldness
Female | 18
The twitching and shaking may be the result of muscle spasms caused by dehydration, low levels of certain minerals like potassium or calcium, or overexertion of muscles. A hot forehead could be a sign of increased body temperature. Be sure to drink enough water and eat foods rich in minerals like bananas, nuts, and dairy products. On the other hand, taking a warm bath and resting can also help relax your muscles. If these symptoms continue, it is necessary to see a neurologist.

Is this situation is curable. What is the life expectancy in mctd with mg
Female | 55
It seems you might be dealing with Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD) along with Myasthenia Gravis (MG). In this condition, the immune system attacks healthy tissues, leading to symptoms like muscle weakness, fatigue, and shortness of breath. While there is no miracle cure, treatment options can help manage the symptoms. With the right care and treatment, many people can still enjoy a good quality of life.

I am a nurve patient, but my disease is not anymore, then also I am taking medicine, So my question is that within how many days can I decrease medicine power
Male | 25
When symptoms disappear, it indicates that the treatment is working. For nerve problems, the patient should gradually change medication. The body needs time, usually a few months, to adjust to a new dose before considering reducing it. If you rush this process, symptoms may return.

I am suffering the following: - Post Polio Residual Paralysis cerebral vascular accident Is it coming under Multiple disability or Locomotor Disability
Male | 64
Your conditions, Polio Residual Paralysis and cerebral vascular accident (stroke) would generally be categorized as "Multiple Disabilities" rather than "Locomotor Disability." Multiple Disabilities involve coexisting impairments in different body systems, while Locomotor Disability typically refers to issues related to mobility. It's important to consult a medical professional for accurate classification.

Hi Doctor ,my child 3.5 yrs weight 11.7kg is a known case of seizure of unknown cause since 5 months of age.Now she is on Soval chrono 350 mg per day..... seizure is under control......all investigation are normal like eeg,MRI and other blood test......is the treatment going on in right track? She has leg pain at night time.Her latest serum valproic acid level is 115 which is slightly in toxic level.what to do now please suggest.
Female | 3
It's good your child's seizures remain controlled, although the night leg pains and higher valproic acid levels need discussion. Night leg pains might signal low magnesium or calcium, so checking those could help explain it. To address the higher valproic acid level, adjusting that medication dose may resolve it. Follow up with your child's doctor about these symptoms and potential treatment changes. If any other concerns arise, don't hesitate to reach out to a neurologist for guidance.

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.

For some people, taking 4500 mg of methylcobalamin every day can be dangerous. If you take too much methylcobalamin, you might get an upset stomach, diarrhea, or a rash. Talk to your doctor if you feel unwell. They might change the amount you take or give you another kind of treatment.

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.
