General Health Care - June 2006

My brother is usually pretty good about remembering stuff. Two weeks ago we had a birthday party for him and my son. My brother forgot to get my son a present. Then my brother was going to bring my sons present on Father's day. He forgot. He told my son he would run his present over Monday after work. We have not heard from him yet so I emailed him today and he said he completely forgot AGAIN! He couldn't even remember what they had discussed as a gift or when he said he'd drop it off.

He is trying to quit smoking and I am just wondering if it has anything to do with his memory loss? Has anyone who's tried to quit smoking or has quit smoking experienced this?

What do you call the upper left and right side of your neck? I experience pain frequently and when i touch it, it's kinda slightly swollen. Sometimes the pain is on the right, sometimes it's on the left and sometimes it is both.... Any one has any idea what is the cause and solution?

On Tuesday night I developed an aching, stretchy pain from my left shoulder/upper back stretching up the side of my neck. I have had some pain in my left arm- fuzzy.The pain gets worse if I turn my head one way, but is ok to turn the other way. My muscles were quite bunched up and tight that day (traffic and football).

Heat seems to relieve it temporarily and it responds to ibuprofen. Have had it 2 full days now and sick of it. Any ideas?

I've been having seizure like symptoms recently that my ENT suspected may be linked to a brain infection. They sent me in for an MRI, and what he discovered was that I had a large patch of scar tissue on the left side of my brain. He repeatedly told me that that was highly unusual for somebody my age to have scar tissue on the brain. Because its not being caused by something related to my ear, I'm suppose to follow up with a neurologist soon. But in the meantime... I'm curious if anybody knows what could have caused this scar tissue so early. My doctor seemed very confused of how I had that on my brain at my age. He kept saying that was highly abnormal. And he does believe that some of my seizure-like symptoms are related to the scar tissue. Any thoughts would be helpful! Thanks.

Whenever I eat the salivary gland on the left side under my jaw swells. It is quite painful sometimes, but goes away after I'm done eating. This condition comes and goes. It can swell to the size of what feels like a small egg!
