The naturopath I went to said that 5,000 iu is necessary as the maintenance dosage. For me, what the naturopath told me is what has proven true in my own case. The FDA didn't do people a favor for avoiding vitamin D deficiency by not recommending nearly enough. People are still deficient.

That your seizures were first on the left side of your body makes sense, since the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, and seizures affecting the left side of the body would be coming from the right side of the brain.

If it is referring to cerebral atrophy, which is a common feature of many of the diseases that affect the brain, it describes the loss of neurons and the connections between them. Atrophy can be generalized or it can be focal. This results to a decrease of the functions that area of the brain controls.The pattern and rate of progression of cerebral atrophy depends on the disease involved such as infection, stroke, traumatic injury, and many others.

I lost my emotions, my affect and became completely math oriented. The explosion came from the top forward part of my skull underneath the the top of the brain in between the two hemispheres slightly what feels towards the right. I was diagnosed with catatonic schizophrenia. I'm wondering how the two are similar. Or what could have been done to prevent the treatment I went through before others fall through the mental health treatment plan.

Exercise, do cardiovascular activity, perform balance and coordination exercises to improve functioning from different parts of the brain, do sensory exercises like closing your eyes and try walking and practice daily meditation.

Hey Doc, This year I experienced a tremor in my left hand, cognitive problems including; feeling foggy, short term memory problems, a general sense of malaise and uneasiness and balance difficulties.

At times it is due to traumatic injury either to the olfactory nerve or to the olfactory center in the brain and this type of damage is permanent. If it is due to injury to nose internally then this may recover. The various tests carried out to detect the cause of loss of smell are CT scan of nasal sinuses, MRI of brain, allergy testing, and blood glucose levels.
