Brain & nerves

Your brain and nerves control everything you do, so when they misfire the symptoms can be frightening. This section covers migraine and other headaches, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, neuropathy, tremor, and memory problems. You will find what triggers each condition, how neurologists diagnose it, and the treatments available now, which have moved a long way in recent years. Some neurological symptoms are emergencies and must not wait. Call 911 for sudden weakness on one side, trouble speaking, a first seizure, or the worst headache of your life.
