Hello everyone.

It is a great relieve to have found NeuroTalk

My situation comes along all ready about 9 years and still I don't have all the answers I would have liked to have. I hope I can find some here and even be able to provide some where possible.

I'm currently doing this thread from hospital, where I'm about to receive my before last treatment of high dosage IV Solu-medrol (prednisone) for neuro symptoms apparently caused by a flair up of the brain lesion in the region of the posterior limb of my left capsule.

My symptoms are mostly presented with recurrent left hemispheric symptoms which means my right side always gets affected.

In this 9 years time I at least got to find out the following:
The sudden entire right side paralysis I woke up with one morning in November 2004, at age 25 was indeed a thalamic stroke and not encephalitis neuropathy, guillan-barre or simply stress (Although the neurosurgeon currently treating me brought up the possibility of the lesion being present when I was born already)
I was also diagnosed in December 2012 with central pain syndrome, but my symptoms are not consistent all the time and I have these flair ups from time to time when the lesion becomes active and inflamed. These symptoms can then be compared to those of a MS patient when they occur.
Most certainly the best thing that was discovered up to now, is the treatments that were found for me, which I'm most thankful for. If it wasn't for a certain neurologist that introduced me to Solu-medrol for the "peak periods" of my symptoms and Gaga pent in and Effexor for the "milder periods", I think I would have be in sane already

Thank you for the opportunity to introduce myself in short and I hope to interact with fellow NeuroTalkers soon.

Much healing thoughts to e everyone
