TIA-like experience
Hello. Most likely it was brought by a combination of all of the above. A mini TIA or a migraine aura-like episode due to the combination of stimulant ( Artvigil ) and alcohol READ MORE
Hello. Most likely it was brought by a combination of all of the above. A mini TIA or a migraine aura-like episode due to the combination of stimulant ( Artvigil ) and alcohol with Cannabis added if you had consumed some in the few hours prior to the episode. I would check with your Dr./ Neurologist or whoever prescribed the Atrvigil for you about this episode and if further evaluation is needed ( i.e. EEG to evaluate for possible seizure and/or an MRI to evaluate for TIA ). Make sure you get plenty of sleep and maintain good hydration with cutting back on the alcohol. It is difficult to be more specific without knowing well your whole medical history. Good luck.

Hello.This is a non specific finding. It can be associated to areas of decreased blood flow such as in severe migraines, it could also be related to trauma, bleed, infection, or demyelination ( loss of myelin ) of multiple sclerosis. It could be prenatal ( before you were born). It needs to be correlated to your clinical manifestations for a better idea of what it can be. Good luck. Dr. F.

I see no MRI report in this email. Therefore I'm unable to help you there. It seems you may have had a seizure or a mild stroke/ TIA ( Less likely)and should have been referred to a Neurologist. If not you should see one. When you see the Neurologist ask to review the MRI results and explained in laymwomans terms.

So I think I have night terrors
Night terrors usually present with episodes of waking up from sleep in a terror like state and are usually associated with little recollection of the event or " Terrifying" dream. READ MORE
Night terrors usually present with episodes of waking up from sleep in a terror like state and are usually associated with little recollection of the event or " Terrifying" dream. Normally the person is in a sleep like state and not very responsive. When the episode begins to subside they will usually return to sleep. So night terrors could be a less likely possibility while other sleep disorders and certain types of epilepsy should be considered. Talk to your doctor and have them do a sleep study and an Electroencephalogram to try and sort things out. Good Luck.

Yes they do. You are already on medication tha may treat it. There are multiple options available and it's relative to the severity of the arachnoiditis.
Involuntary head shaking

Head titubation can be seen in the Senior population and may be early Signs of of aging with some cognitive impairment. It can also be sign of Parkinsonism. It's hard to link to the past history of brain tumor without knowing specifically type of tumor and treatments along with surgical removal. It would be prudent to see a Neurologist for a detailed history and examination to better determine the extent of the issue.
Good luck.

Those type of headaches are common and are part of the migraine syndromes. It is highly unlikely that these are associated to a brain tumor. With such the headache once manifest is unlikely to wax and wane ( better, gone, back again ). There will also be other findings such as blurred vision, weakness numbness and or loss of Neurological function. I feel if your primary will be back in a week or two and you're still experiencing such then you can see him / her and look at further testing. If your headache gets intense and doesn't respond to the analgesic medications then go to the emergency department.
Best of luck.

If you've been relapse free for 19 years it might be your medication has worked well. Check with your Dr. since he/she knows you best about recommendations ( decrease the dose or wean you off ). Remember there's the possibility of a relapse even with medication currently being taken. Your Dr. knows you best and could discuss this with you.

Hard to pinpoint more precisely without more specifics. I would look into possibly your anxiety as the culprit. If its primaryly on your left side then you need to see a doctor urgently. If it shifts from one side to the other and different extremities then not as much an emergency as if it is always on the same side.Good luck and happy holidays.

It sounds that you have a Complex Neuropsychiatric Syndrome which migraines can be a part of. Talk to your Neurologist or Psychiatrist about reassessing your medications and changing things around a bit to see if you respond better and achieve better control of your migraines. I would particularly discuss with your doctor the new class of migraine medications called CGRP's ( Calcitonin Gene Related Peptides). Many patients find significant relief with little to no side effects for both symptomatic and prophylactic treatment.

Unspecified means non-categorized into: Alzheimers , Frontotemporal, Parkinsons, Huntingtons, Multiinfarct, Viral or Prion disease. Without behavioral disturbance means without behavioral problems ( aggression, depression, sleep wake cycle disturbances, etc ) and only memory problems.Dementia only oriented to self at baseline. Means they only recognize themselves and not where they are, what time it is or recognize people that they are familiar with. I hope that answers your questions.
