There is no cure for essential tremor, but treatments can provide symptom relief and help improve quality of your life. Certain lifestyle changes and a treatment plan specific to you may help reduce your tremors.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

Hello,
the problem ypu are having seems to be Eyelid Myoclonia a not very common condition and frequently requires life long treatment but is adequately controlled. There is no specific exercise, diet etc which control seizure. I would like to change Mazetol to some other drug and/ or increase Rivotril. It can be reasonably controlled

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you in most cases, it's not important when you take your medicine. For instance, you can take non-drowsy antihistamines for hay fever, or analgesics for pain when you need them. It doesn't matter if it is morning, noon or night.

Hello,
the medication is able to control the epilepsy is a very good sign. The need is to continue in the follow up and take the medicines regularly. Unfortunately you have not mentioned the kind of epilepsy he has been diagnosed with. The treatment depends upon the kind / classification of epilepsy which is based on clinical, eeg and genetic profile etc. I suggest you follow up with the neurologist and clarify the dosage and be under follow up. Switching to homeopathic treatment is not a go...more

Hi
as the mri and eega reports are normal it is less likely a seizure activity. Is it a single episode of the loss of consciousness or the multiple episodes? If multiple and frequent need further evaluation.

My son had seizures after his birth for 3 times between 1 month to 6 months and doctor prescribed gardenal and calcium syrup and advised to continue for 3 years morning and evening. After 3 years we stopped medicine and he didn't get any seizures for almost five and half years but all of a sudden recently he got one in the month of april and we went to Dr. and he said it was because of fever not to worry but again in the month of aug he got seizures again and this time we changed Dr. and he took mri of brain and in report it is mentioned suggestive of mesial temporal sclerosis. Eeg we tried many times but my son didn't allow to do he starts crying. His development is very slow still 6 years of age but speech and learning issue. Dr. has advised following medicine for brain development and seizures: neuciti plus nicerbium attentrol lacosam pls advise about the treatment and his overall growth. Why is he so slow in development of we compare him to other 6 year child.

Hello,
the slowness of the child is due to developmental delay either due to hypoxia or inherent brain formation. As you. Have not mentioned any details about his behaviour its difficult to pin point the cause of slow development, but I feel that medicines may not help him and I will tell you why.
Of course he does require lacosam in correct dosage to control his seizures so that he does not have recurrent seizures.
Frankly personally I feel that neuciti plus and nicerbium are not go...more
