I am a neuro patient,I am suffering from brain tumour,I have undergone radiosurgery proton beam therapy, But now I feel mentally very week,I am a service holder but I am not able to take work pressure So I want to know is there any solution of these problem
Female | 46
You find yourself to be mentally down as a result of the treatment, which was proton beam therapy for your brain tumor. This is a natural outcome because the treatment hurts the healthy brain tissue. Some usual symptoms are fatigue, memory problems, and a problem concentrating. Make sure you rest, eat the right foods, and keep in contact with your healthcare team. Alongside counseling, look into this support program for a solution.

i hit my head three months ago. it was bleeding and i went to the hospital. they did a CAT scan, said no bleeding on the brain, it was deep but no stitches and no sign of concussion. Now three months later i have tenderness and pain where i hit my head
Male | 73
After an impact to the head, some lingering discomfort and tenderness is quite typical. This could stem from a small patch of scar tissue forming at the injury site. Applying cold packs and taking pain medication can provide relief. However, if the pain persists or intensifies, consulting a neurologist would be advisable for further assessment.

Male | 59
I recommend that she should visit a neurologist. In MRI, the T2W/FLAIR images exhibited multiple small white matter hyperintensities in the bilateral frontal and parietal periventricular and subcortical areas. They suggest chronic small vessel ischemic change. Spinal tap water removal may not be the recommended treatment for her symptoms.

One possible cause of this is muscle weakness or loss of balance due to old age; problems like these can make it more difficult for you to stand back up. You need to talk to a neurologist about it. They might suggest some exercises that will help improve your strength and stability, as well as other treatments aimed at preventing future falls.

Now it's mctd with myasthenia gravis had been diagnosed. Mi 2 a and 2b also positive. RNP/sm positive. RP155 POSITIVE. iam on prednisone and pyridostigmine now. Is this ok or any other medicine should be taken. CPK is 2272
Female | 55
You’re managing a complex situation with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) and myasthenia gravis. Your test results show positive markers, which means your immune system is attacking your healthy tissues. The combination of prednisone and pyridostigmine is helping control your symptoms. Since your CPK levels are high, it might be due to muscle damage. Your doctor may consider adjusting your medications or adding new ones to address inflammation and muscle weakness. It’s important to stay in close contact with your neurologist for regular check-ups and to discuss any new symptoms or issues.

My girlfriend suddenly fell unconscious after crying so baldy and after waking up after 5 mins she couldn’t remember anything she even didn’t remember that we were calling
Female | 17
Your girlfriend fainted, it seems. Crying hard can make blood pressure drop - that makes people faint sometimes. She might've forgotten a bit too. Stay calm, reassure her. Let her rest, drink water, get fresh air. If it happens lots, see a neurologist.
