Avatar m tn Hi....I think u mean damage to the brain...not brain damage unless it is untreated. There is a condition called syringomyelia and it can be caused from a trauma or even whiplash, another condition that can be there since birth, but triggered during or after a trauma is chiari malformation. U should always get checked if u have a head trauma.....Natasha Richardson died shortly after falling while skiing.....

Avatar m tn Hi there. I'm sorry to hear what happened. Unfortunately, there can be events in the medical field that are really unexpected and have little explanation, and what happened to your father maybe no exception. Off hand, I can think of causes like an embolism (blood clot that lodges in the blood supply of the brain) or a transient arrhythmia (problem with the electrical conduction of the heart). However, these would have shown up in the scans and EKG respectively.

I'm wondering of the neurotransmitters are totally dead. I read many posts here about how eventually you are happy again and have energy and look forward to each new day. I'm waiting and I'm getting scared.

The first goal is to get rid of the virus, especially in those whom it has advanced beyond early stages, or seems to be causing significant physical or cognitive problems.
Avatar f tn The doctors at the time said I was lucky not to have suffered serous brain damage, I was told that even mild-to-moderate drinking can adversely affect cognitive functioning leading to brain damage.....Wet brain.... you should look at this, it is about wet brain. http://www.choosehelp.
Avatar n tn I sure hope not because I have had to take these kinds of meds for a very long time now and probably will have to for the rest of my life. If they find that long term usage causes brain damage then I'm gonna be in some real trouble. I do know that prior to taking medication, when my depression and anxiety were at their worst that I definitly felt brain damaged. My meds corrected this feeling.

The causes are many like diabetes, depression, autonomic nervous system problem, excessive alcohol ingestion or tobacco smoking etc. You may need to consult your doctor to see which amongst these causes are responsible for your problem.

Avatar f tn Recent studies indicate the Ecstasy causes permanent brain damage in areas critical to thoughts and memory. It damages the neurons that use serotonin to communicate with other neurons. Ø Because users feel energetic, many dance until they are dehydrated. This has led to deaths from heat exhaustion and kidney and cardiovascular system failure. Ecstasy use greatly increases blood pressure and heart rate. Body temperature can increase to 109 degrees.

Avatar n tn does mange cause brain damage ? I say no bur someone else says that my dog has mange and that it has caused brain damage. I have worked for a vet but he is not around so i ask you. I have never heard of that happening and I think it is ignorance and stupidity to say that.
445783 tn?1279807333 One Major cause of this is due to either Neurephineferine or Serotonin depletion in the brain. You mention that your symptoms of depression are Extreem fatuge with some anxiety? If this is the case then your issue is more likly due to Neurephinefierine depletion. I also suffer from the kind of depression that causes me to have massive symptoms of fatuge. So much so that I felt absolutly exausted all the time. Even after a full 9 hours of solid sleep I still felt sleepy all the time.
