Brain Condition

Brain Condition

I had a reaction to a dietary supplement between April 15th an 18th 2010. The supplement wasmeant to boost nitric oxide synthase and thereby nitric oxide by 950%. I took the product for three days only to develop ringing in my ear and blurry vision. I stopped taking the product. Than I woke up the 4th day feeling like, the whole left side of my brain was numb not being able to feel any emotions, or sensations at all I could not feel pain or taste food and I was totaly impotent. I saw a brief improvement in my symptoms once I stopped taking the supplement up until August as the numbness on in the left side of my head kept improving and the headaches I had kept spreading from the right side of my brain to the left replacing the numb areas with headaches as they went. Once I had the reaction I was never able to get the sensation of a brian freeze from a cold drink again on the left side of my head. Eventulay though whatever improvements I saw stopped happening and ceratin symptoms worsened the next thing I know the right side of my scalp started going numb as the hadaches on that side faded out. And as the numbness reached the center of my head I developed total insomni. I have had numerous sleep studies which show that now I only sleep when drugged and the sleeping pills keep makinng my condition worse

I began developing poping sensations in my head made worse by sleeping pills in January 2011.  Numbness also spread through my head to my forehead and nose. I have extreme memory problems my eyes no longer water. I have myoclonic jerks and muscle spasms. And the raw areas in my head are unbearable.

I had a SPECT scan in november showing probable damage to my tmeporal lobes and right parietal. My latest MRI's are showing ventriculomegaly not usual for my age. I am getting 40 minutes of unbrocken sleep per night with 100mg benadryl and melatonin. I had 205 arousals in my last sleep study in July the one before that in december showed 64 and 140 minutes of sleep.
