I used to drink very heavy 15 years ago (16 beers a day) and then I took a long break and started doing it sensibly for the last 10 years (Im 38). I was doing fine until I stopped to look after my mum who became ill. I started getting pains down the left side of my head which was diagnosed as trigeminal neuralgia. Was given tegretol and gabapentin by a neurologist who also said there was a lesion on my brainstem in the pons area which i said must have been from my heavy drinking days. Then was sent on my way. My double vision seems to have gotten worse. My legs and arms feel shaky and im still getting these nasty headaches. Tried going back to my doctor to be refferred back to neurologist but he wouldnt as id already got a diagnosis. I dont know if the shakiness is due to all the running around im doing as im normally quite a laid back person and dont have much stress.Terrified this lesion is going to start bleeding and that will be it. Any advice appreciated. Thanks
