I have a degenerative disk between two of my vertebrates in my back. I am still young, 21 and in decent shape, non-smoker...I had been trying to do a lot of research about degenerative disks but have not found everything I have looked for. I was wanting to know if the disk can repair itself to any degree over a period of time. Maybe by taking nutrients, changing lifestyle habits, or doing anything, but I was really wanting to know if it was even a possibility, or once the disk starts to decay does it just continue to do so and you are only able to slow the process rather then ever improving it. Thanks for taking the time to read this, please don't tell me a bunch of ways to cure my problem, unless its something out of the ordinary, or you've had experience with a degenerative disk because I have tried nearly everything but surgery and steroids which looks to be my next step, but I want to avoid surgery by all costs because i have heard to mostly negative outcomes...Thanks

I have been suffering with Grand Mal seizures for the past 7 years and they have gotten worse over the past couple of years. I have sought treatment from a neurologist who has tried three different drugs that have all caused terrible side effects. I need people to talk to who can share their experiences with me and who can help me cope with the limitations I have as a result of my seizure disorder. Any information would be greatly appreciated.....

My son was on 20 mg of Sanctura. The doctor switched him to 5 mg Ditropan. He thought he was supposed to take both pills. This was last night, and he didn't seem to have any problems. Is this anything I should worry about? He's 10 years old.

Per the Pediatrician, took him to Childrens Hopital, diagnosed with ADHD, but a Physiatrist Dr. found a large faded brown spot going around his left side, & noticed slight white faded like marks all over his body, I never new they were there cuz they are so light. What is this? he couldn't tell me. Also has to see a Neurologist for behavior, loud, noises, impulsivity, hurting kids, tripps & had a horrible nose bleed at the time of the visit. Gets lots of nose bleeds & bright red ears. Dr. was concerened about that too. Couldn't jump on 1 foot, or either foot, so Dr. says his coordination is off & scheduled an MRI. What is the Dr. looking for? Also scheduled an ear test. He couldn't tell me what else he could find. Blood work was ordered too. He put him on Risperidal 0.5mg. What is that for? ADHD? does it work. Dr. says this all the signs of my son is Neurological related. What could all this be? He was diagnosed w/ developmental dealy at 1yr. & had a normal MRI. Thank you
