Let your doctor know. There may be another epilepsy medication that will work better than, or can be used along with the topamax

Thoracic Injury Body Pain?

If all the areas involved are from the same issue ( a thoracic spinal cord injury) then the wrists could not be involved. Only areas further down the body. Talking to your family doctor would be the next most reasonable option.

What sickness do I have

Probably an upper respiratory tract infection that brought on a migraine.

Temple

This may be nothing serious, but I would suggest you have someone take a video recording of the movements and take it with you to your neurologist.

What made me do this?

The uncontrolled movements are most likely myoclonus. These are similar to what can happen (for most of us) when we are just falling asleep, feel like youre falling, have a sudden READ MORE
The uncontrolled movements are most likely myoclonus. These are similar to what can happen (for most of us) when we are just falling asleep, feel like youre falling, have a sudden jerk all over, and awaken. What you are describing and the feeling of being unable to stay still, may or may not be related, and probably are not serious. It may even be impossible to find a causE. There medicines to prevent the uncontrollable movements, if it occurs often enough to warrant daily treatment.Talk to your family doctor, or show them this.

Brain stem

Unlikely. Since its protected by the skull. You cant severe it and stay alive.

headache

Your symptoms of worsening headache and dizziness when standing are suggestive of dehydration. So the first thing to do is to make sure you are hydrated. Gateralde would be better than water. As well, you need to be seen by your family doctor or urgent care for evaluation of a new and persistent headache.

Fainting or Munchausen Syndrome?

Pretty unlikely with fainting. Munchausens is always a lot more than just this type of spell.

Pressing temples

No. Painful but not harmful.

What is the best treatment for sciatica?

The National Institute of Health recommends Chiropractic treatment as the best initial treatment.

Can neuropathy cause my feet to itch

Yes. It can. Also pins and needles, loss of feeling and burning are all common

its about my little brother

Tics are a common occurrence in children. They typically go away with age. They can be a part of Tourettes Syndrome, and are accompanied by making noises, grunts or sounds or words. READ MORE
Tics are a common occurrence in children. They typically go away with age. They can be a part of Tourettes Syndrome, and are accompanied by making noises, grunts or sounds or words. But tics alone are the most common situation. If they are frequent or distressing to the individual, there are medications to treat them. An EEG is appropriate in order to make sure the movements arent seizures, in which case a different kind of medication is used to treat them. They are not associated with any adult illnesses like Parkinsons or Alzheimers.And they are only occasionally seen in multiple family members. A doctor might ask as part of a complete history about whether there are any neurological problems in the family, but only to be thorough in their evaluation, not necessarily to imply a relationship between the two disorders.

Recent head complications

The findings on the scan are unlikely to be causing any of the symptoms. Your symptoms, if they are all occurring together, and are episodic, are likely migraines.

When I will get CT scan results for the brain?

If your facility has MyChart, it will appear as soon as the radiologist reads and interprets it: in most places the next day, two at the most. The result will appear in MyChart. READ MORE

I dont have enough information to make a suggestion

Dead/numb limbs

Since the MRI is the most sensitive test for MS and it was normal. the only other 2 possibilities are migraines or mini strokes. Migraines can have an aura or a warning of neurological symptoms before the headache starts. And on occasion, sometimes these occur without the headache.

It sounds like a prolonged migraine. Migraines often run in families, typically a pounding sensation with nausea, light and noise sensitivity.6 They typically are severe and incapacitating. They can be treated in a number of ways, and if they recur often there are medications used to prevent them. Typically people go than urgent care since usually it requires a shot to get relief.

Ask about my case

All the symptoms may not be from one problem. The acne, for instance, may not be related to the other problems. If you have not been to a Neurologist, or had an MRI of the head READ MORE
All the symptoms may not be from one problem. The acne, for instance, may not be related to the other problems. If you have not been to a Neurologist, or had an MRI of the head and neck, you should do so. The combination of numbness, fatigue and trouble thinking suggests a brain or cervical spine problem, of which there are numerous causes. An MRI and laboratory tests may well give you an answer.

TIA-like experience

Your symptoms sound more like migraines than a TIA. Typically TIA results in a loss of function: paralysis, blindness, loss of feeling. Your episode sounds like the extra sensations READ MORE
Your symptoms sound more like migraines than a TIA. Typically TIA results in a loss of function: paralysis, blindness, loss of feeling. Your episode sounds like the extra sensations that can occur with migraines: warm sensations, ringing in the ears and skin tingling. Migraines dont always occur with a headache. You can have neurological symptoms followed by headache, headache alone, or the neurological symptoms without any headache. Thats not to say you should ignore the episode. You need to at least notify your doctor about it.
