I'm in my 50s and requested an MRI only for preventative measures, and they discovered a 3.5×1 cm arachnoid cyst. I had the MRI in Thailand. I didn’t get a recommendation from the doctor about treatment. There was a notation in the report about the cyst applying pressure to the brain. I do have minor headaches on occasion. Should I take this seriously?

Gabapentin is the go to now due to augmentation and rebound

Thank you very much for your interesting presentation Please i want to show you something about suprasellar arachnoid cyst to give me your recommendation about surgery if it is ok , please let me know to send it

Suffering from CIDP I can assure you that the "treatments" you've listed in this video are laughable and only those who like to prescribe something that makes THEM feel better would say so unless you are very fortunate and have a mild, early case of this, and I've been on all of them. The only thing left that I have to try is SCS.

Please tell me your address

Why you dont decompress small vessel , are thatnot a cause of pain as it was top if nerve rez zone too ??

Please note in your next meeting, obesity could be a symptom of this condition, not the other way around. I was 125lbs when this started 8 years ago and symptoms have progressed. So were many others I have met with this condition. Please study this and don’t just see we are obese and this is why. What else could be going wrong in the female body to cause the pressure to then enhance weight?

Out of several podcasts, 😊yours is the best.

Is there medicine to treat meningioma without having a surger?

Thank you Doctor

I am due for bilateral stenting on August 30th. I can not drive due to IIH with PPPD.

My niece is currently at UT in Knoxville with a 4 cm arachnoid cyst and she is having headaches and vomiting, and they are telling us They can’t take it out.

I have skolyosis , intervertebral disc protrusion at the L5-51 level, and polyneiropathy for almost 2 years in my legs and feets. I took multiple vitamins of B vitamins, but, still my sensation is slow than it was, and sometimes it is more cold than my hands. I actually took analysis of ENMG. It says:The general conclusion with stimulation ENMG of the lower extremities was revealed - duumelination of the tibial nerves on both sides by motor fibers. By sensory fibers, demyelination of the deep branches of the fibular nerve on the right, the gastrocnemius nerve on both sides, the median nerve on the left. PLEASE CAN YOU HELP ME WHAT CAN I DO TO FULLY CURE IT? THANKS IN ADVANCE

Thank you for your comprehensive description of what I’ve been suspecting since a PET scan in 2022 showed activity in both brain and right upper lung. Lung resection in same year, oncogenic activity in brain has been ignored by all treating physicians , I have a third PET scan slated for some future date .I feel fortunate I am still relatively symptom free after two years , Gliablastoma must not be a player in my case

My wife is sick and complaining of a severe headache and complaining of two veins running down the sides of the forhead becoming painful. Could it be a symptom of a tumor?

I am 74 does that mean that my meningioma is bigger?

It typically occurs at the nap hour, and if you are in an environment whereby the room conserves heat too well, then the best approach is to do a before nap time workout routine of your choice for an hour and also remember to keep the dry air out during the summer the best way you know how or winter time using the thermo control with the "fan" control setting on "auto" fan setting simultaneously and not "on". Dry fan air will dissipate at auto setting, and it's good for the lungs when you do your workout out in your room at night before bed. That's my conclusion and cure after 38+ years, too. It seems that at this age, it is the gold standard age experience I've noticed. Human evolution wasn't meant for energy saving high-tech rooms, which trap dry air in rather to the contrary outdoor experience. Who even gets cured off of restless leg syndrome on a couch rather than outdoors doing stuff and then napping in the forest somewhere. I am serious about this. It's a cure on my behalf in every season of the year and counting. My time for a workout is at the 12 mark to 1am. It is cold outside to open windows and dangerous too. unpredictable too if you live with your loved ones.

No I'll opt out of surgery now I don't think it even fixes the symptoms I think you're left with a disfigured face and all the previous symptoms and signs remain no thank you but thanks for the info

I was diagnosed in 1999 with idiopathic peripheral neuropathy. Again in 2012. I was also diagnosed with diabetes Type 2 in 2012 and had a heart attack in 2019. For neuropathic pain relief I was started on Gabapentin and Cymbalta. Because of horrid cognitive side effects, Cymbalta was switched out for Effexor. Unfortunately, these cognitive side effects didn't stop, so I stopped using them. I've been taking the following for the above diabetes and LDL: Ezetimibe/Rosuvstatin-Mepha 10 mg/10 mg - 1-0-0-0 (Mo,Mi,Fr,Su) Forxiga 5mg - 1-0-0-1 Metfin 1000 mg - ½-½-0-1 Aspirin Cardio 100 mg - 1-0-0-0 Since about 2014 I've been taking instead of the Cymbalta/Effexor & Gabapentin (as it stands 04. Dec. 2023): R-Lipoic Acid 300 (240) mg - 1-1-1-1 Acetyl-L-Carnitine 750 mg - 1-1-0-1 N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) 1000 mg - 1-0-1-0 Omega 3 (fish oil) 1000 mg - 1-0-1-0 Borage Oil 1000 mg (GLA = Gamma Linolenic Acid) - 1-1-1-0 (stopped 1. nov. 2023) Magnesium 100 mg - 1-1-1-1 The above have helped some. I came to use these through exclusionary processes. IOW, I'd take a substance for a while, noting sensations. Then I'd stop and see what happens. These “passed” this exclusionary process. If I noticed an increase in severity of symptoms when stopping a substance, I could conclude, that it was actually helpful when I was taking it. All of these substances have strong empircal background, having been shown to be effective in clinical studies as well as double blind placebo studies. I then added Benfotiamine starting on 15.08.2023. Helped greatly, most overt pain gone, and numbness seems to be receding from mid thigh to mid calf. Some stomach ache if dosage is over 150mg, so I take 100/150mg 1-1-0-0 / 150mg 0-0-1-0 and 250mg before going to bed (0-0-0-1) - I don't get stomach ache before going to sleep or during the night. I then added on September 5, 2023 (as it stands 04. Dec. 2023): Folic acid 1.7 mg 1-1-1-0 Biotin 5 mg 1-0-0-0 Methylcobalamin 1500 mcg 1-1-1-0 Vitamin B6 P5P 27mg 1-1-0-0 The 4 above plus Benfotiamine & R-Lipoic acid, according to this study, which has been cited many times in meta studies concerning use of supplements to treat neuropathy pain: Maladkar, M., Tekchandani, C. and Dave, U.

If you could move your mouse a little slowly and diligently it may become easy to understand where u r pointing at.

I have glaucoma & while I'm getting the cataract done they will do a presedure so my pressure will go down ...question ..do I still need to take glacoma drops after surgery ?

Vaccine I’ll never touch again.

Can you discuss this in relation to mental health ??

Great teaching. Nice calm voice.

I have this shit I hate it. My case is like this 54 yrs old man - dangerous.

You are the best teacher! I loved the way you explained each steps!! This is kind of videos I was looking! I am diagnosed system meningioma

Advanced treatment options? For the most part the treatments she talks about only mask the symptoms. They do nothing to stop or reverse the symptoms.

Very informative and clear! Thank you

What happens when you have a tumor on the main vein of the brain that cannot be

Okay

AGONY AGONY. BURNING, FEELS LIKE SHARP NAILS HAVE RIPPED MY SKIN. I CANNOT HANDLE IT.

I've taken mirapex .025 for years and have been getting augmentation for a while now, how do I taper off of it and can I switch to Neurpro while tapering off Mirapex.

very informative!! 🙌

Is gamma knife just an umbrella name for all stereotactic radiosurgery? Because I know that I received stereotactic radiosurgery radiation but I don't know what particular kind it was because I don't know what kind of machine was used for my type of radiation. I know that there was a mask made in order to keep my head in place when the radiation was administered and I only had one treatment. I have a benign brain tumor and it's not very large but it was too large to be just watched so I needed to get radiation or microsurgery. So I got radiation 3 weeks ago and it was only one treatment and I'm still suffering from the side effects and I still haven't gone back to work. And I'm still trying to find out if what I'm going through is the normal type of recovery or not since nobody can give me a proper answer since they keep telling me that everybody responds differently. I'm still getting daily headaches and dizzy spells and I'm still extremely tired. And my tinnitus is still extremely loud and very bothersome. I was not able to take the oral steroids that were recommended because I got very bad side effects from that so I had to stop taking it after the first dose. I am pretty sure that the radiation that I received was not gamma knife but somebody mentioned to me that all radiation is basically the same especially when it is used for an acoustic neuroma. I don't know if that is true or not so I'm trying to learn more about what exactly gamma knife is and why it keeps being mentioned when people have an acoustic neuroma. It seems to be the popular choice for radiation for this type of tumor. The way that mine was done was that I came in for a simulation which is where they formed the mask which was something that went behind my head and over my face but it left my nose and my eyes opened and it went over my forehead and my mouth and they also took a cat-scan on that day. I had had a previous MRI done recently. And then there was a 2-week time period where they had to set everything up and figure out my dosage for the radiation and set up the machine for the perfect angle and all of that and then I came back after that two weeks and I had my treatment. It was totally outpatient so it looks like something that was totally different from what is being shown in this video
