My mother is having MND and currently is on ventilator support. Can you share the cost of this treatment? Also will this treatment be good to do in this old age and on ventilator.

Answered by Mitali Pawar

The cost of MND treatment varies as per the country and the specific medical facility. It usually ranges from 6,800 to 13,400 USD, with each cycle priced at around 2,000 USD. 

And whether this treatment is appropriate for your mother on ventilator support, discuss the potential benefits and risks with the doctors and consider the patient's overall health and wishes.

Dear Sir, Below i am sending my father MRI report, kindly guide me. MRI REPORT – BRAIN WITH CONTRAST TECHNIQUE: T1W Sagittal, DWI - b1000, ADC, GRE T2W FS Axial, MR Angiogram, FLAIR Axial & Coronal Post contrast images after administration of 5 ml of gadolinium contrast. OBSERVATION: The study reveals an intrasellar mass lesion, with enlargement of the right half of the anterior pituitary gland, extending to the suprasellar cistern. The mass lesion is predominantly isointense to gray matter on T1-weighted images. On T2-weighted images the mass is predominantly isointense to gray matter with internal areas of T2 hyperintensity suggestive of ?necrosis/cystic change. Dynamic postcontrast images revealed decreased/delayed enhancement of the mass lesion as compared to the rest of the pituitary gland. The mass lesion measures 1.2 AP x 1.6 TR x 1.6 SI cm. Superiorly the mass displaces the infundibulum to the left side. A clear CSF plane of cleavage is seen between the superior aspect of the mass lesion and the optic chasm. No significant parasellar extension of the mass lesion is seen. The cavernous segment of both internal carotid arteries show normal flow void. The mass causes mild thinning of the floor of the sella turcica, with slight bulge toward the roof of the sphenoid sinus. MR findings likely represent pituitary adenoma. Confluent and discrete areas of T2/flair hyperintensity are seen in bilateral supratentorial periventricular and subcortical deep white matter, likely representing nonspecific ischemic changes with a combination of leukoariosis, microvascular ischemic changes, lacunar infarcts and prominent perivascular spaces. Basal ganglia and thalami are normal. Midbrain, pons and medulla are normal in signal intensity. The cerebellum appears normal. Bilateral CP angle cisterns are normal. The ventricular system and subarachnoid spaces are normal. No significant midline shift is seen. The cranio-cervical junction is normal. Post-contrast images reveal no other abnormal enhancing pathology. Bilateral maxillary sinus polyps are noted.

I am 16 years old male and I have headache in one side of head till 3 days and I have used saridon to recover this .

Male | 16

You have had a headache on one side of your head for about 3 days. That may be a migraine. Migraines are sharp pains in the head that happen on one side of the head after nausea or sensitivity to light. Saridon might alleviate the pain for a while, however, it is essential to find out about the causes of your migraines.  Notice any symptoms you have and whatever triggers lead up to your headaches. Avoiding heiks like stress, lack of sleep, favorite foods, or loud noises may help you stop migraines. Should headaches continue or deteriorate, a doctor is the right person to consult.

My grandfather age is 69 and he has second stroke in last 2 month and he unable to move and speak but in progress and today his bp is high what is the reason for high bp please doctor give me your suggestion

Male | 69

It is common for people who have had strokes to experience high blood pressure, especially after a stroke. The stroke might have altered the brain areas that regulate blood pressure. As a result, the body may struggle to control it. Hypertension can also exacerbate the severity of strokes. Thus, advise him to eat foods that are low in salt content, take the medications he has been given strictly, and get enough sleep to regulate the levels of this condition.

Please help me I'm 38 years old I have pain all over my body I feel sick all the time I'm tried all the time and I have nights sweats for the last week

Male | 38

It seems like you may have some symptoms which could mean many things. Pain everywhere, feeling bad a lot, always being worn out, and sweating at night are all signs of different illnesses. A virus infection might be one cause but so could an immune system disorder or even just stress alone. You need to see a doctor so that they can find out what is going on with you exactly--and then give feedback that is helpful for treating whatever this turns out to be.

Hey, i have been using seroxat 20mg and rivotril 2 mg since march 2022 , I'm trying to stop it by reducing the amount by taking them one day and day off, but I'm feeling dizzy a lot and losing balance, how can i quit and how to reduce the effect of it.

Male | 26

Before making any changes to your medication, consult your doctor for advice. Suddenly stopping or reducing Seroxat and Rivotril can lead to withdrawal symptoms. . If you experience dizziness or balance issues during the process, inform your doctor right away.

I had epilepsy since 2004, reflecting on eyes appearing as red and blue light flashing and double vision further mild headheck and vomiting sensation. At that I am not losing consciousness. Last episode appeared in 2015 . I am using Zonisep tablet 125 MG per day till today. Requested for better medical suggestions in this regard.

Male | 20

I recommend taking the medication as prescribed to you by your doctor. But if you experience any side effects from it or want to go for some other treatment, you can talk to your neurologist. He will suggest some other treatments based on your condition like lifestyle changes, CBT or acupuncture etc. Also, follow-ups is must.
