Question

I've been having some serious concerns about my health. I experienced seizures three times within just 15 minutes, which was pretty terrifying. I lost consciousness and then stopped breathing for a bit. Thankfully, I was rushed to the hospital, and I came to after around 10 hours. I had a CT and MRI scan done, and the doctors said it's a calcified granuloma. I'm really anxious about how long I need to stay on medication. Is this thing entirely curable, or is it something I should be worried about in terms of being life-threatening? And, even while on the meds, is there a chance I might have seizures again?

Based on your diagnosis of calcified granuloma, which is typically a benign condition, the duration of medication depends on your doctor's guidance, but usually, anticonvulsants are prescribed for 1-2 years after a seizure; while the condition is generally not life-threatening, it's crucial to adhere to your medication regimen to minimize the risk of future seizures, which is estimated to be around 20-30% even with treatment, so regular follow-ups with your neurologist are essential to monitor your condition and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

Question

I'm concerned because I started taking this medication called Pruvict 2, and I've been waking up with a headache the next morning. It started happening after I took the tablet at night. Is this a normal side effect, or should I be worried about something more?

Question

I'm really worried about my situation. I've been having these really severe headaches lately and on top of that, I'm dealing with a lot of stress. It's like a vicious cycle because the stress just seems to make the headaches worse. What could be causing this, and what can I do to get some relief? It's becoming really hard to manage daily tasks.

Question

What should I do about this pain? Can we meet to discuss treatment options? I really need to find a way to get rid of it. Right now, I can only sleep when I take Maxgalin to ease the pain, but I'm worried about how long I should keep using it.
