Have your neurologist consult a different neurosurgeon and get a second opinion. You are already on a significant amount of medications used to treat Trigeminal Neuralgia (apparently without significant success). I would consider alternative therapies. Try CBD, it's highly efficacious for pain, inflammation, and seizures. You may also try vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine 50 mg daily).

Hello,
After reading your summary, a PFO can often manifest as an initial presentation with a TIA or a stroke, particularly in a young person under the age of 50. In your case, it seems like a TIA was the case, which is the better scenario. Stay on the aspirin and follow up with a Cardiologist for the PFO treatment and follow up.This seems to be the primary cause of the TIA's in your case. If not monitored closely and properly treated, it can lead to a stroke, which can lead to permanent neurological damage. Make sure you follow up with all your scheduled appointments and determine what are the best treatment options for you so that you can stay healthy and strong for your little ones.
Good Luck.

Why do I have thoughts about murdering people even though I would never act on it?

Most people can have those type of thoughts occur sporadically and just like you do. They realize the absurdity and conclude just as you have that it is something you would not carry through. If they are sporadic and infrequent and you realize and rationalize with similar moral constraints, then you should be fine. If, however, the thoughts become frequent and/or pervasive or you find yourself plotting to do such, then I suggest you seek the help of a psychologist and/or psychiatrist immediately.

Staying confident with any disability is often not an easy task. Yet when achieved by focusing on all the many positive qualities and characteristics that each individual has and minimizing the attention on the negative ones, you will feel triumphant and your Tourettes will become invisible. Redirect your energy and focus to the positive and say to yourself: I've had enough of your petulant disruptions and will part with you. Being confident about yourself is one of the essentials of overcoming Tourettes.

While both conditions are common and usually fairly benign, having them occur concurrently although may still be benign and unrelated. If persistent, it would warrant further neurological assessment and testing. There could be a multitude of conditions, most benign, but others not so, that should be evaluated and ruled out. I would suggest you discuss this with your parents and/or a family member and see a neurologist or your primary for appropriate evaluation and referral to a specialist.
Hope this offers some guidance.

It depends on what is "trapping" the nerve. If it is the usual bulging or herniated disk. Initially, decompression therapy (traction) may resolve the problem. If there's significant disk bulging or vertebral body deterioration, then surgery may be necessary. Any other less common causes of nerve entrapment need to be addressed on an individual case by case basis. Check with your doctor as to the causes and best treatment options from the more conservative ones to the more aggressive options.

How long does paralysis last after a stroke?
Paralysis after a stroke can be brief, a few hours to days in what is known as a TIA (Transient ischemic attack). It can last several weeks to months if there's rapid implementation READ MORE
Paralysis after a stroke can be brief, a few hours to days in what is known as a TIA (Transient ischemic attack). It can last several weeks to months if there's rapid implementation of recirculation (treated within 24 to 72 hours with tpa = thrombolysis = medication to break up or dissolve the clot). Other times, unfortunately, rapid return of blood supply to the area may not be established soon enough and paralysis may be permanent.
